Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Icarus Factor (1989)
Member Rating:
Icarus, it will be recalled, was the young boy with artificial wings who perished when, defying his father's orders, he flew too near to the sun. This ancient Greek myth threatens to repeat itself -- at least symbolically -- when Riker is offered the captaincy of the USS Aries. His delight turns to anger when he learns that the man assigned to brief him for his new assignment is none other than his long-estranged father (Mitchell Ryan). Originally telecast April 29, 1989, "The Icarus Factor" was written by Robert Assael and Robert McCullough, who in addition to the main storyline included a curious subplot involving an uncharacteristically-behaving Lt. Worf. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
