Warning: Spoilers
ST:TNG:54 - "Booby Trap" (Stardate: 43205.6) - this is the 6th episode of the 3rd season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

While investigating a 1000 year old ship that is left over from an ancient battle, the Enterprise begins to have problems. It's up to Geordi LaForge, with the help of a holodeck version of Dr. Leah Brahms (played by Susan Gibney - she will appear again in "Galaxy's Child") as they go into the Enterprise's past to learn about how to deal with the present. In fact, this holodeck Brahms is actually a human representation of the Enterprise computer itself!

This episode begins the "failed romances" for Geordi LaForge starting with Christi in this episode. Whoopi Goldberg also makes another appearance as Guinan - she mentions that she attracted to bald men. And Picard is seen showing his rare "happy" side when we see his love of history (in this case the form of the 1000 year old ship). Also, there's a mention of Picard building a "ship in a bottle" which will be a later TNG episode title.

Another brilliant episode which continues the strong 3rd season of The Next Generation.
