The old Star Trek intersects with the new version in this episode, which originally aired October 17, 1992. Responding to a distress call, Geordi and Riker come across the remains of a 75-year-old starship, whereupon they discover a crewman trapped in a transporter beam. The unfortunate fellow is none other than Scotty (James Doohan), chief engineer of the original Enterprise. Released from limbo, Scotty sullenly realizes that there's no place for him in the 24th century, but not before participating in a thrilling adventure with the Next Generation crew. "Relics" was scripted by Ronald D. Moore.
