Riker must make a tough choice when he is offered the command of his own starship. His decision on whether to accept, or not, is hampered by the appearance of his father, with whom he detests and has been estranged from for a very long time. His father pushes Riker to take the command, but they must first hash out their underling bad feelings toward each other, before Riker can make his decision.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Show Summary

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no one has gone before".

In this highly successful spin-off to the original Star Trek, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Galaxy-Class starship, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, set out to explore the final frontier. Along the way, they make first contact with myriad different species and solve reconflicts among those societies with whom they were already familiar, most notably the Klingon Empire.
