Star Trek: The Next Generation - 4x05 - Remember Me

    After stopping by a starbase, and picking up a friend of hers, Beverly Crusher starts getting worried, since her guest disappears, and no one else remembers him existing.  Plus, no records exist of him.  Gradually, more and more people on the Enterprise disappear.  The problem seems to be a warp bubble that Wesley was responsible for.
    This is a fun concept for an episode.  It's very Twilight Zone, and I like when TNG inserts that amount of creepiness into their stories.  But in execution, the episode leaves a bit to be desired.
    It's nice to see a Crusher-centric episode.  She doesn't get many.  I don't even care for her, but it's fun to see things switched up a little.  Where the episode goes wrong is in the scripting.  The episode feels way too padded out.  When I reached the halfway point, I felt like there should only be a few more minutes left.  Then when it reached the last 10 minutes, it felt like all of those should have taken about a minute to tie together.
    The last scene has Crusher talking to herself, walking through her understanding of the situation.  The audience already knows what she's supposed to figure out.
    I think the episode would be much more interesting if it were redone.  The script needs to be polished up, and it might be better if they didn't worry about a target running time.
