Star Trek: The Next Generation: Too Short A Season

The week-long national syndication window opens for the 15th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Stardate 41309.5: Admiral Mark Jameson, requested by Governor Karnas of the “besieged” planet Mordan IV, is being transported to a planet he started a war on forty years ago. Picard finds that the elderly Admiral has overdosed on an illicit alien youth drug, anticipating that he will need to be youthful and vigorous to combat terrorists. But he doesn’t expect the side effects of the substances, which only appear once Jameson has already gotten Picard and his away team into deep trouble.
