The afterlife . . . with Q!, 30 April 2006

ST:TNG:141 - "Tapestry" (Stardate: Unknown) - this is the 15th episode of the 6th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

This is an interesting episode. It brings to question what the afterlife is, does it exist, if you had a chance to change your past would you? Picard, mortally wounded in a Lenarian attack, meets Q in the afterlife. Q then offers the opportunity of reliving his past mistakes, including the incident where he needed to receive an artificial heart, and a chance to change things so he would live a safer life. But in the process, Picard comes to appreciate the life he has.

It's amusing to see Picard in the Original Series Movie style outfit, as well as a TNG era Science Officer (Lt. Jr. Grade) outfit! A very intriguing episode indeed!

Trivia note: Dr. Selar is mentioned again. Q also brings up people who have been dead - including Picard's father. And also the voices of the people who have died because of Picard's actions.
