Review : Half-decent detective story. For me, the interesting thing was seeing different people's views of the same events. The story itself made some sense, and Picard would have made a very good defence barrister judging by the fact that he made a good case from some rather thin evidence. The life-drawing study was a very odd thing to happen on a starship. I presume the model was a hologram, stripping off in front of your captain might go beyond the call of duty. Finally, I wonder if Picard reads English detective stories as well as American ones, 'Chief Inspector' came fairly naturally to him.

Review : I quite liked this episode as a detective story. It wasn't perfect, and was often slow in bits. What I liked was their view of "witness memory" or rather the unreliability of witness memory. Each witness sees and interprets events their own way and believes wholeheartedly that they are telling the truth. While that aspect of the story was good, the rest of it did feel a tad slow. I additionally enjoyed the way Data grilled Picard at the beginning of the episode and also the musical score through the episode. Its nice to see creative use of music in the first few seasons of TNG before it became bland and relegated to the background after S4.
