And in its two-episode season premiere, Star Trek: Discovery appears to be kicking off an entire season that calls back to a special episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
And not just any episode! The 1993 version of Next Gen in question delivered a revelation so seemingly earth-shattering that it should have rewritten galactic politics on a massive scale. But then, as it was in the 1990s era of episodic TV, no one mentioned it again.
