Star Trek: The Next Generation season 4 consistently delivered strong episodes, truly cementing the series as an all-time great. By TNG’s fourth season, Gene Roddenberry’s declining health prevented him from taking an active role in the show’s production. As Roddenberry had been one of the main voices advocating for TNG to remain strictly episodic, the show’s other producers began incorporating more serialized elements after Roddenberry’s departure. That’s not to say TNG ever committed to a fully serialized season, but more and more episodes began referencing previous storylines or leading into future ones.
