| Review : | Although I have to agree that it is nice to see Gates McFadden get a rare spotlight, this episode is weighed down a little to heavily with thin sci-fi concepts and remarkable coincidence (i.e. the traveler showing up to help save the day) to really pull off the unbelievability. Taking time to wrestle with that mentally gets in the way of the dramatic value meant to carry the episode, namely watching Dr. Crusher deal with her friends and family disappearing. Fans of the show such as myself will enjoy that drama, which is really quite good, but try showing this episode to someone relatively new to the series and their reaction will show you its equal weaknesses. | ||

| Review : | Another 'what the heck is going on?' story. I think they pulled it off fairly well. We got to see (Cheryl) Gates McFadden take centre stage here, and she put in a convincing performance. There was just the right ammount of doubt showing at just the right time. We only found out what was actually happening at just about the time when we had seen enough clues to make a fair guess, so that was a reasonable assessment. Also, the scene where Picard and Crusher were trying to convince each other of their points of view was excellent, especially Picard arguing for a 2,000 ft ship with a crew of TWO! The resolution was somewhat lacking, though. The Traveller worked fairly well in "WNOHGB" as a plot-driver, but here he was beamed in to provide the resolution, which made absolutely no sense to me. OK, they had to recreate the warp bubble and a stable threshold, but why all the 'see beyond the numbers' stuff? It sounds like new-age gibberish, or was it just a substitue form of technobabble? Still, it worked. Finally, how many of us have wondered 'if it isn't me, is it the Universe?' I know I have. | ||
