Future Imperfect
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Season 4, Episode 8
Rip Van Winkle in the 24th Century (Riker) finds himself in the future with no memory of the past 16 years, courtesy of a nasty virus. An interesting and surprisingly well-handled extrapolation into the near future, one that includes an Admiral Picard, friendly Romulans and more. With a pair of interesting and effective twists to close it all out.
