Recovering from a failed away team mission, Riker awakens in sick bay to discover that 16 years have passed. After encountering such oddities as an aged Dr. Crusher, a visorless Geordi, a full-commander Worf and a Ferengi crewman, Riker comes to grips with the fact that his memories of the past decade and a half have been wiped out by a virus. It is hardly a comfort when he further learns that he is now Captain of the Enterprise, and as such is expected to negotiate a tricky truce with the still-dangerous Romulans. Originally telecast November 16, 1990 (though most local stations didn't offer it until November 17), "Future Imperfect" was written by J. Larry Carroll and David Bennett Carren.
