Dude, that was the exact episode I was thinking of ("Schisms", season 6

), among other things, when I said that nothing in Fire in the Sky was original to me

(cuz it actually came out about half a year before "FitS", though obviously I don't necessarily think they originated the whole abusive abduction thing either). Really good episode actually IMO, though of course the ending is a letdown, as was the case with so very many late-era TNG episodes
