I suppose that this show and its successor contain some of the heaviest scenes ever shown on Star Trek, but the basic premise, that Picard would be on a mission of this nature no matter how they try to dress it up is ludicrous. Even worse is that Beverly is involved. Can you really see the ship's Chief Doctor being selected for this?
I have no quarrel with Ronny Cox's character. A man has to do what a man has to do. There's not always the time to make yourself popular while you're doing it.
Nice to see that the Unnamed Black Chick is still being pulled out of reserve for a little helming. I might also add that it is a rare treat to see an actor of the stature of David Warner in Star Trek. Why can't we have more established professionals on the show?
