Boring ST:NG opens with the Enterprise being called to a system whose star is suspected of being on the brink of going supernova. Data makes a series of careful observations of stellar abundances and outflow variability, and concludes that the system is likely to remain in its current state for at least another million years.
In a later episode, Tasha Yar complains of a curious malfunction in the holodeck, interfering with her martial arts practice. Barclay investigates, and identifies a bug associated with a recent software update. He fixes it, and Picard announces to a relieved crew that the holodeck is available again.
The dramatic season finale involves Riker returning from an interspecies diplomatic conference and displaying symptoms of a mysterious illness. Dr Crusher keeps him under observation in the medbay for several days, and diagnoses a novel strain of influenza. Thanks to their dutiful observance of quarantine protocol, no one else is infected and Riker makes a full recovery.
Not bad! And there must be one where an ancient and powerful alien energy being turns up, takes a look at the Enterprise, notes down in its lab book what the little bits of meat are doing this century, and goes away again.
