Story: When the Bough Breaks
Written By: Hannah Louise Shearer
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation

Admittedly this episode isn’t terrible. For an episode that has a lot of Wesley action, I’m surprised at how NOT bad this one is. Inhabitants of a mysterious and legendary planet, Aldea, steal some of the children from the Enterprise because they are all sterile.
Wesley is of course one of the kids taken, which works because it gives us a familiar face in the children. Wheaton isn’t as bad as he usually is in this one. I think he stepped up his game knowing more of the episode was relying on him. Then again it just may speak to the inconsistency of the writing of characters this season.
The conclusion I come to is that the episode is decent. It ain’t great, but it is decent.
NEXT TIME: Terra-Forming
