Rewatching ST:TNG The Enterprise-D traces a distress call to a huge star-enclosing Dyson sphere.

A moving, deeply relevant story, with lots of flawed characters whose story arcs were rich and engaging. The mystery was well-executed, with subtle details (parallels, echoes, clever misdirection) that amplified the plot twists. Very powerful. I leapt to my feet applauding…
