Every other episode was what that season seemed to me, what with the "wild west" episode, Trip's "therapy" sessions, and his near death experience (where he was cloned and his clone was harvested for organs), and any number of other side-tracks that served no purpose in advancing the overall plot of that season.

Hell I'd be happy to see some evidence that the show actually exists in the Star Trek Universe, rather than a bizarro world where not even the vaguest pretendings are given to established canon (and novels of which most were approved by Gene, although Paramount later declared them non-canon)
