What a load of crap. I mean, why are the four of them in a shuttle in the first place? It could be, I suppose, that the planet they've been on has bizarre conditions which make it impossible to transport people on and off, but does that sound like a good place to take a holiday?
How come all their uniforms shrink when they become children?
Picard needs to resign immediately as none of his voice commands would work so, in an emergency, the computer wouldn't know who he was. I suppose this could be addressed in time, but what if something cropped up straightaway?
When he is trying to beam the four aboard, O'Brien coolly mentions that there's been a 40% reduction in their overall mass and therefore he may have lost one of them, i.e., one of them may be dead. He's remarkably calm considering that one of the people he's transporting is his Captain, and one of the others is his wife!
Bearing in mind that we are talking about the flagship of Starfleet here, does it not seem incredible that it could be taken over so easily by a bunch of Ferengi pirates in what they claim are second-hand Klingon ships that they've tarted up a little? This is absolute nonsense!
I had some sympathy watching the boss Ferengi as he tried to figure out Picard's fishbowl. I've often wondered how he gets to it to feed the fish myself.
Unusually, when a prepubescent male walks onto the Bridge in full Starfleet uniform and claims to be the Captain, even the zombies standing at the back take notice, all of them. This has to be a first!
I thought that this was a bad, bad episode.
