The crew gets embroiled in a property dispute between drug addled space hillbillies and aryan miami vice extras.
They weren’t getting the best extras this season.
Drugs can make you feel good.
Yar giving Wes a 5 minute long “don’t do drugs” lecture.
Riker getting freeze tagged.
Drugs are bad. Don’t do drugs kids.
The Enterprise tracks some missing Federation crew down to Target Practice Planet. Crusher breaks a leg, Geordi takes control, and Picard has to sit through a presentation about a timeshare.
The underutilization of Troi creeps in. She gives meaningful looks for like 10 minutes before she has a line. Some episodes she’s mysteriously “away at a conference”. She must have an awesome lanyard collection to go with her scarves.
What’s the armament on the Lollipop?
Don’t fuck with the Candyland Crew.
The cavern sequence with Picard and Crusher. Some of the best acting in the series so far.
Some good life lessons for being a good person/leader.
A klash of kultures as two klingons with K names make fun of Worf, scream to the heavens, and ask innocent questions about ship security protocols.
Seeing Geordi vision for the first time was fun. It didn’t actually fit into the episode at all, but it was entertaining time filler.
I’m dying, can you just leave me alone and not mess with my eyes?
Picard being distractingly interested in Geordi’s visor.
And Worf making new friends. And then killing them.
The true battle is within.
Wait what?
The Enterprise gets a surprise white glove inspection while Wesley makes friends with a space bro that vapes.
The episode should be titled “Everyone hates Remmick”. He turns the dickishness up to 11, which does not help him in his task to get to the bottom of “troubles on the Enterprise”.
Acceptable or not, it is the truth.
Data lays down the law right in Remmick’s face.
Wesley going aggro.
Nice to see them as a family. And now she actually likes Picard for the first time.
