Getting Younger

Story: Too Short A Season
Written By: Michael Michaelian and D.C. Fontana
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Year: 1988

Oh lord. Its just one of those seasons you know? This incoherent plot sees an aging and decrepit Admiral comes to the Enterprise to help negotiate some peace on a planet he once helped on. But at the same time he has taken some freaky miracle drug that returns him to youth. But it is also killing him.
The acting from this Admiral is very terrible. From his bad old man acting (can you say over-doing it?) to his middle-aged acting (too close to his old man acting) and then his young man acting (turns out he’s not even a good actor without the make up on!) The old man make up looks terrible and is NOT helping.

The plot is weak. End of. Bad episode.
