Clear Eyes: I really enjoyed this episode. It revisited a plot idea from an Original Series Episode and apparently I am in the minority. It was generally thought of as uninspired and boring but it always bugged me that the Federation sent ships out to discover and document and we never run into problems someone has already figured out. That being said, for Episode two we got a really interesting loss of inhibition to show us where the crew really stands and to get an idea how difficult it could be for all of them to work with each other. Other shows would wait several seasons to tell this kind of story.
Full Hearts: They really put it out there in this episode. Wesley isn't a total waste of space even if he also copied a Kirk move from Who Morns for Adonais. This is the only appearance of Lieutenant Commander Sarah MacDougal as chief engineer, we get several others before Geordi gets the top billing.
This is a Hallmark Episode for Data, proving he is fully functional is hilarious and his 'I just got Laid smile' afterwards is perfect. Thanks to the nod in first contact, we know this episode takes place eight years, seven months and sixteen days before that movie.
Geordi continues to impress with just wanting to see like everyone else, he would give up what makes himself special to just be like anyone else. The way he wants 'shallow, dim, beautiful, human' sight Powerful.
Can't Lose: "
I put it to you all. I think we shall end up with a fine crew - if we avoid temptation."
Rating 8/10
