Not too bad, I suppose. Yes, it was the old story of aliens testing humanity given YET ANOTHER spin, but it did partly work. The interest was split between the false Picard on the Enterprise, clearly testing the other officers - and especially Dr Crusher. This made for some curious scenes. We also had the real Picard and the other three in their cage, again clearly a test, and fairly predictable. Picard, a Frenchman, singing 'Hearts of Oak' was decidedly ironic. The ending had touches of irony as well. Clearly, the aliens had no consideration for individuals, and it would not be surprising if they tried the same thing again one day (although we never saw them again). Overall, there were a few decent bits, but it was generally predictable and a bit tired. Watchable, though. |
