I'll try to keep comments about this vomit-inducing 'actor' in this (otherwise humdrum) episode as brief as possible.
This is small about the giant 'blot' which can't be unseen. I'm referring to this series' reusing as a guest, a so-called 'actor' who's mostly known for the atrocious (MASSIVE!) comb-over he sports.
I know many fans of the Star Trek shows have asked to appear on an episode of one of the myriad series and spin-offs.
What blows my mind-and all logic-is this person.
Why?!?!?!
It's not just 1 episode he's appeared in, but multiple, and not just in TNG, but he's also helped destroy memorable episodes of Voyager with his goggle-eyed overacting. It's hard enough to try and pay attention to the episode he's in, as the top of his head is always so obvious (aside from the fact that I dislike him and his lack of any perceivable talent). It begs... well, several questions:
The ONLY 'miracle' is no brainless person then involved with the helming of the Star Trek 'universe' said/suggested (or got!) using this person as a main-or lead 😳 character in ANY Star Trek series or films.
Kinda makes one wonder 'let's put all the Dwight Schultz episodes-from this and Voyager-in a box set 😫🙄.
Mercifully.
I recommend skipping this and all others with this person.
They're of the 'bad school of acting' wherein the supposed 'artist's' abilities consist of doing such things as... well, if you watch ANYthing with this person, you'll get a quick education in how NOT to act (or do with your thinning 'do)
It's bad enough when a long-running show 'ret-cons', such as in Voyager, where, after having been on the air for several years, they've an episode in which the 'well-liked', and one of Harry's best friends, Lindsay Ballard (WHO?!?!) appears out of nowhere, but, definitely not looking as her former 'crewmates' remember.
That type of storytellimg's very difficult to pull off with any elan, but, it's so much WORSE when the actor playing this 'jammed-in' character is so over-acting that our can't not notice them rather than the story.

It begs... well, several questions:
- Why was no other actor better than him at playing this role?
- Why (after his first appearance) was there a reason to bring him back (!?!) rather than recast the part?
- Why, in the 'future,' is man able to advance in so many ways (after all, Picard's got an artificial heart!), EXCEPT when it comes to THIS person's follicle issue, and give him something better than a comb-over with a bottle of Aqua-Net, either in the way of a hair transplant or a halfway decent 'rug'?!?!
- Why was he allowed to so terribly overact (aka 'ham it up,' and 'mug for the cameras,' or mince (not as a term for an effeminate gay man), and after having waded through all this 'individualness,' could anyone in the production office say, 'this guy, Schultz, is terrific! Let's get him to guest on a few more!'

I've nothing against anyone in any military force. Still, I found the idea of anyone making the fight for a(ny nation's sovereignty into some quasi-mythical claptrap ridiculous, overbearing, and dangerous.
Fighting isn't anything to be proud of. The American revolutionaries who fought for the birth of the States didn't think anything like today's lunacy. They fought because they had to become free.
It might sound slightly cliché, but I'll take a quote from Captain of the Enterprise, James T. Kirk, who was trying to help destroy a supposed several-millennia-old creator of their society by leaving his intelligence but not his soul or compassion in the eponymously named 'Landreau' computer.
But when it was time for that final thrust to face Landreau, finally, whatever it might be, the two people of the planet suddenly became hesitant. Reticent.
Captain Kirk said one must fight for freedom, which isn't freely given.
That's more in the spirit of fighting for one's freedom I'm referring to.
The French who overthrew their monarchy, and, even when the Soviet Union collapsed, that's exactly what those Russians who wanted to maintain freedom did when they fought the remaining old communist oligarchy who decided to stage an overthrow.
I know many people around the world who were alive when Boris Yeltsin, a former Communist apparatchik, appeared from virtually nowhere and said, 'enough'!
That's what fighting's about.
It's not about mostly testosterone-pumped, not much upstairs types who think that 'fighting' means becoming a marine or some such nonsense.
If someone wishes to join their nation's military just for that (such as this film's speakers), it's a waste of my time, and it should be a waste of your time.
