Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Series regular Gates McFadden, aka Dr. Beverly Crusher, made her directorial debut with this episode, which originally aired March 26, 1994. The Enterprise is held in thrall by a strange disease, causing the crew members to de-evolve into prehistoric creatures. The only two immune to this phenomenon are Picard and Data, who have just returned from a mission. Figuring prominently in the episode's outcome is guest star Dwight Schultz, recreating the role of hypersensitive crewman Reg Barclay. "Genesis" was written by Brannon Braga.
