Customer Reviews of Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 174: Bloodlines
Damon Bok returns and threatens to kill Picard's son (???) A probe delivers a message to Captain Picard from his old nemeis, the ex-Damon Bok (from "The Battle," Episode 10) informing that he will finally avenge the death of his son by returning the favor and killing Picard's son. Picard is rather stunned since he did not know he had a son. But since Bok obviously believes that Jason Vigo is Picard's son, the Enterprise heads off to save the young man. What Picard discovers, when they beam Jason up from his rock climbing, is a rather disappointing young man who genetic tests prove is indeed his son. However, Bok continues to pursue Jason, and while the Enterprise crew does everything it can to block his evil plans, Jason comes down with a rare genetic disorder.
A lot of rabbits get pulled out of the hat in the final season of STNG: Riker has a duplicate, Troi had a sister, and now there is a chance Picard has a son. "Bloodlines" does have the distinct of waiting 164 episodes to pick up on Bok's attempt to take his revenge upon Picard, although certainly the idea of the bloodthirsty Ferengi had been replaced by Quark and the Rules of Acquisition in everyone's minds. It is also interesting to see that science in the Star Trek universe is not infallible. However, when it comes to Picard being a "real" father, I much prefer "The Inner Light" (Episode 125) where Picard lives out an entire lifetime on Kataan in 25 minutes of unconsciousness (and where Patrick Stewart's actual son played his son in the episode). "Bloodlines" ends up being a below average STNG episode, which aspires to be memorable but does not really come close.
