STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION - Rascals

Air Date/Released Saturday, October 31, 1992
Station/Studio Syndicated / Paramount

In the 24th century... "Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It's continuing mission, to explore strange, new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before."

Emergency transport from a shuttlecraft trapped in a destructive energy field results in the transporter rematerialization of Capt. Picard and several crewmembers as 12-year-old children. While Dr. Crusher resolves to reverse the process, the ship is attacked and boarded by a crew of renegade Ferengis, who plant to steal the Enterprise and place its crew into forced labor in a precious metals mining facility. “Rascals” is the first STAR TREK episode to use a 24th century Table of Periodic Elements in its set design. For this episode, it appears in a classroom. Designed by Michael Okuda, the series’ Technical Consultant/Scene Art Supervisor, the table was used in later episodes including the spin-off show DEEP SPACE NINE. Seen in the background, its details are not visible to viewers. However, Okuda used in-jokes and gags for the future’s newly discovered elements and their chemical symbols. Three of these new elements are...

• Stoogeium (Mo)
• Stoogeian (La)
• Curly (Cr)
