Reasonable episode. I loved the re-use of the footage from TSFS for the approach to the Starbase. That was one of the most graceful pieces of motion control ever, and with a bit of re-scanning, it worked perfectly. We begin to see the full potential of holographic technology here, creating a character that had Riker convinced (I thought she was at least partly self-aware). The Bynars seem like a good idea, but somehow they are not very convincing. I suppose their home system might be a binary, so they might have a primary star left, but there is still a bit of a problem there. Personally, I might have used a gamma ray burst. Verdict, not at all bad, above average for an early TNG episode. |
