Originally telecast June 20, 1992, this episode was the third of Next Generation's season-ending cliffhangers. Things begin on a gruesome note when, during an archaeological investigation on Earth, the excavators come across the severed head of Lt. Cmdr. Data. In as much as Data is still alive and well, it is assumed that the decapitated relic represents the remains of a shape-changing alien. While following up this theory, the Enterprise crew passes through a time vortex, catapulting Data back to 19th Century San Francisco. As before, the outcome of this two-part adventure would not be revealed until the series returned for its sixth-season opener on September 26, 1992. Both parts one and two of "Time's Arrow" were based on a story by Joe Menosky and Michael Piller, with Menosky handling the scripting chores for part one. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In Paul Verhoeven's wild sci-fi action movie Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a 21st-century construction worker who discovers that his entire memory of the past derives from a memory chip implanted in his brain. Schwarzenegger learns that he's actually a secret agent who had become a threat to the government, so those in power planted the chip and invented a domestic lifestyle for him. Once he has realized his true identity, he travels to Mars to piece together the rest of his identity, as well as to find the man responsible for his implanted memory. Verhoeven has created a fast, furious action film with Total Recall, filled with impressive stunts and (literally) eye-popping visuals. Though the film bears only a passing resemblance to the Philip K. Dick short story it was based on ("We Can Remember It For You Wholesale"), the movie is an entertaining, if very violent, ride. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide
