NST: TNG - Time's Arrow, Part II (Season Premiere) - Season 6, Episode 1

Time's Arrow, Part II! The rest of the Enterprise crew follows Data through the time hole, and it turns out they fit... quite well into 1893 San Francisco? While they hang out and try to find Data, Mark Twain keeps interfering, and Guinan seemingly falls in love with Picard. Why are these aliens stealing souls? Is the best solution just to wipe them out? Star Trek sure thinks so. Because that's what Star Trek has always been about: not trying to resolve our differences with alien species we just met.
