While I enjoyed this episode the second time around because I took off my movie critic hat and put on my nostalgic and trek loving hat.
Solid 7 for entertainment and quotes like "Will, did you just throw a rock at a ship?"
I have to concur with VetteRanger.
VetteRanger 17 March 2023 Okay, we have a changeling on board. Seven gets to shoot it, three times. The first two times, in a ship's passageway, it basically shrugs off the phaser blasts and then disappears into the wall. The third time, in engineering, a single phaser blast either stuns it or kills it.
Writers ... how about some consistency here?!
Oh, and you can't pull power from the holodeck in a life or death emergency requiring all available power ... because it's on a separate power supply so as many crew as can stuff themselves into a holodeck can die happy?
Really stupid.
The science office can't figure out energy pulses in a nebula, but Beverly Crusher, because she's a doctor, can recognize they're like labor pains and time the energy pulses' increasing frequency.
The displaced Captain, because he originally came from engineering, is evidently the only person who can perform the simple procedure to adjust the warp nacelles? No regular engineering officer or rating is qualified.
Again ... just stupid.
But we enjoy seeing the last hurrah for the NextGen cast so we'll keep watching ... and cringing. And that's the only reason this moronic plotting gets seven stars from me instead of three.
Let me add one other issue about conserving power. Couldn't they have shown all nonaccentual personnel donning vac-suits and actually cutting life support in major parts of the ship.
Also, photon torpedoes can be manually detonated. Why not detonate before they strike the shields and hull of the ship?
Okay...enough nit-picking. As noted above, still enjoyed the episode the second time around. After I finish rewatching this last season, I intend to revisit the series in 3 to 4 years and give it another go. Even mediocre Trek is better than no Trek.

This was an amazing episode. The in-fighting and emotion were intense. Harvey is a pitbull and we love that breed here in the Ameria. Mike is brilliant as usual, but he is always too brilliant to be real. I don't like Meghan Markle, but Rachel is hot AF!
Am I the only one who hated seeing Donna leave the office, but loved watching her go? :-)
