Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

During a brief respite from duty, the Enterprise is seriously damaged when it unexpectedly collides with a quantum filament. Communications are cut off, power failures occur and bulkheads are sealed, trapping the crew in different sections of the ship - including Keiko O'Brien (Rosalind Chao), who is about to give birth in Ten-Forward.

With an injured Picard (Patrick Stewart) caught in the turbo-lift, Counselor Troi (Marina Sirtis) must take command of the bridge. As the disaster worsens, the ship's enegines begin to overheat and threaten to explode. Faced with a life or death decision, Troi must put her faith in crew members with whom she cannot communicate. If she's wrong, everyone on board will perish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly one of the best Star Trek episodes ever written, November 18, 2001

By 

Johnathan Bogart (Boise, ID United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 105: Disaster [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Disaster" is definitley one of the best episodes in all of Star Trek history. It was a surprising episode, with all the sparks and damage. Usually Voyager takes that beating, but I kind of liked it when they showed the Enterprise taking that damage.

Well, the story starts out with a party in the mess hall, all because of Keiko's baby, and then while Picard is tallking to some children, one of the kids looks up at him without talking, puts his head down and then they're struck by a quantum filament. Then, with most of the ship's power gone, the crew tries to survive. Do they survive? If you want to find the answer, you'll have to watch this exciting episode that is perhaps as good as Voyager. But I warn you, this is a scary episode in a way!

5.0 out of 5 stars Disaster, The Enterprise is a Disaster, May 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 105: Disaster [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is my all time favorite epsode. In this epsode, the enterprise hits something in space which severly damages the Enterprise. No one alive in enginering and a warp core breach very close is only one of the problems for the enterprise, the others include data losing his body, Troi commanding the bridge, Picard stuck in a turbo shaft with a broken ankle and 3 kids, and Geordi and Beverly stuck in a cargo bay with some highly explosive stuff. I don't want to give it all away but I would defently have this one for your collection

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Episode, January 23, 2002

By 

Cyclone (Somewhere USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 105: Disaster [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Enterprise NCC-1701-D is waiting for its next mission. While the crew take a few days to rest the Enterprise is hit by a quantum filament. This has some of the best lines in this season (i.e. Worf to Keiko "You may now give birth." and then Keiko shoots back "That's what I've been doing!"). Also in the this show Troi is in command which is somthing Ro doesn't approve of. Riker atuck with just Dats's head (Good lines come from Riker while he is fooling around with Data's head)after Data's body is damaged. Picard stuck in a turbolift with three children and then has to climb up a turboshaft with them. La Forge and Crusher stuck in a cargo by full of explosives that explode when it come in conact with radiation and there is a plasma fire in the bay to with is releasing radiation. Great episode for a star trek fan
