Riker Murders a Scientist

Story: A Matter of Perspective
Written By: Ed Zuckerman
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Year: 1990

Sort of like Kurosawa’s “Rashomon” with the Star Trek twist. Riker is accused of murder, and the differing accounts are being shown in the holodeck to prove or disprove Riker’s innocence.
It is a decent episode, it is no “Rashomon” but it is well written and directed. The performances are pretty decent as well.
