This is so ridiculous that it's almost beyond belief. The only thing that's entertaining is how funny the dumbo aliens are, saying things like "We like things that make us go..." but even though these aliens are big, dumb lunkheads, Riker sends Jordie over and they kidnap him and actually get away with it! As another person said here, these guys are so stupid that you'd be surprised if they could tie their shoes, yet they manage to trick Riker.
And then story line #2 with Picard having his heart worked on but some great specialists can't do it, but Dr. Pulanski can? This is yet another 'you gotta be kidding me' episodes.
That's all I have to say.
A wonderful series
This is an interesting, thought provoking, and most of all entertaining series. Gene Roddenberry not only gave us a "Wagon Train to the Stars," but he gave us interesting stories reflecting the great values our society holds as truths. I know that "some" episodes were not that good, but that can be said of any series that has a long history. For the most part this program exceeds the mark of excellence in writing and entertainment. The delivery of the writing by Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner et. Al. Truly brought the Star Trek future to life. The casting of this program is wonderful!
