Introduction
On a planetary survey, Commander Riker gets infected by the most insidious virus of all - the clipshow bug. In order to treat it, we must be subjected to a smattering of Riker's "memories," all of which happen to coincide neatly with previously filmed episodes, and none of which tell us anything new. Can he, and indeed can the show itself, survive this debacle?
"Do you think we can erase the memory of this episode from him?"
"Deanna, all the brain-bleach in my medical arsenal couldn't do that."
