    Having recently watched this episode and totally forgotten it since last time, I’m just thrown off by it. Troi experiences these psychic visions left by remnants of a partial telepath. Then she fully hallucinates mimicking some of those actions, including killing Worf, only to snap out of it and mere seconds have passed. Didn’t seem to be a lot of point to it.

      Then I think the point I’m taking from all of this is that our experience is are real, And they matter, even when they’re just inside our head.

        Season 7 has some of its best episodes, but over half of them were clearly leftover ideas/filler. How else do we end up with Sub Rosa, Thine Own Self, Masks, Genesis, Firstborn, Bloodlines, Emergence, and so on?

          Although conversely, All Good Things… was outstanding imho!

          I suppose all good things eventually come to an end, even as other shows began to take its’ place such as DS9 (which I didn’t appreciate until I could binge and thereby catch the running plotlines as intended).
