"Where No One Has Gone Before" is the sixth episode of the American science fiction television series ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', (episode 1 - 'Encounter at Farpoint' is a two part episode) originally aired October 26, 1987, in broadcast syndication in the United States. A high-definition, remastered version of the episode received limited theatrical release for one day (with the episode "Datalore") to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the series on July 23, 2012. The story was originally developed with the title "Where None Have Gone Before" and was based on Diane Duane's book, ''The Wounded Sky''. Duane and Michael Reaves pitched the idea to David Gerrold and Gene Roddenberry, and then submitted a script. Their script was subsequently rewritten by Maurice Hurley, whose first effort was poorly received; however, his rewritten version was filmed. The episode was the first of the series directed by Rob Bowman, who went on to direct twelve more episodes. Set in the 24th century, ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' follows the adventures of the crew aboard the Starfleet Starship ''Enterprise''-D. In "Where No One Has Gone Before", the ''Enterprise'' is visited by Mr. Kosinski (Stanley Kamel) and an alien known as the Traveler (Eric Menyuk). The Traveler sends the ''Enterprise'' to distant parts of the universe, and help is required from Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) to bring the ship back home. In this episode, Menyuk made the first of three appearances as the Traveler. Biff Yeager made his first appearance as the longest-running chief engineer of the first season. ==Plot== The ''Enterprise'' meets the USS ''Fearless'' to bring aboard Mr. Kosinski (Stanley Kamel), a Starfleet propulsion expert who plans to run tests on the warp engines to improve their efficiency. With Kosinski is his assistant, an alien being from Tau Alpha C known as the Traveler (Eric Menyuk). As Kosinski and the Traveler explain the tests to the engineering crew, Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) quickly grasps what the tests are designed to accomplish and the Traveler expresses admiration for his problem-solving abilities. The test quickly goes awry when the ''Enterprise'' speeds up, surpassing the known capabilities of warp engines. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) orders the ship stopped, and the crew find themselves on the far side of the M33 Galaxy (more than 2.7 million light years from the Milky Way, the ''Enterprise''s home galaxy). Although Kosinski is pleased with the results, he is reprimanded by Picard and asked to simply redo the process to return home. Crusher attempts to warn Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) that during the warp test, the Traveler appeared to drift out of reality, but Riker dismisses him without listening. However, after Kosinski begins the second test, Crusher and Riker both observe the Traveler again drifting out, appearing more tired. The ''Enterprise'' again experiences a burst of speed, and when it stops, the crew cannot determine their position. Picard demands that Kosinski get the crew home. While Kosinski, the Traveler and the engineering crew work on reversing the process, the rest of the crew begin experiencing lifelike visions of their past (an effect of the strange space around them). After having a vision of his mother (Herta Ware), Picard surmises that they have arrived at the theoretical Outer Rim of the universe, and issues a red alert to awaken the crew from their visions. Finding Picard at the spot where he saw his mother, Riker suggests that Kosinski may have had nothing to do with the warp jumps, which were more likely to be a result of the Traveler's illness; Trying to determine this theory, Picard has the alien moved to sick bay. Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) however cannot evaluate the Traveler's alien biology, and is unable to treat him. When Picard visits him in sick bay, the Traveler explains his ability to channel pure thought into reality. He brought the crew of the ''Enterprise'' to the Outer Rim, triggering similar effects in anyone within it to ascertain if they were ready to experience thought as reality. The Traveler confides to Picard that he looks for scientific prodigies such as the young Crusher, and Picard should nurture him. When he returns to the engineering section, the Traveler asks Crusher to assist him in returning the ''Enterprise'' to known space. As they concentrate, beginning to return the ship home, the Traveler again phases out and finally disappears. The ''Enterprise'' suddenly stops, and the crew is relieved to find themselves back in Federation space. After the incident, Picard finally promotes Crusher to acting ensign (following his own unspoken suggestion in "The Naked Now") on the ''Enterprise'' for his performance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Where No One Has Gone Before」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
