No episode in all of Star Trek is more frustrating to watch for me. Because it illustrates a Star Trek that could have been and wasn't.
The Enterprise is a ship of war. Not one of peace. I like that because, while peace may be our goal, it is very boring to watch on a SF tv show.
No children on the Enterprise! Good that. Who the hell ever thought kids on a starship made any sense at all?
I much prefer a real and enjoyable hostility between Picard and Riker.
The Klingons are our enemies and they should. They are ridiculous. So is Worf, by the way.
Patrick Stewart is great in many scenes in Star Trek but I don't think he has ever been better than he is here but his greatness makes the other actors in the supporting cast look even weaker. You take Stewart out of this series and it's in real trouble. This is why TOS will always be markedly superior to TNG. The cast is better. And it's not bogged down with political correctness.
Whoopi Goldberg is an Oscar winner but she is so clearly the worst actor on this show and it is even more glaring in the one on one scenes with Stewart.

Also if the war was going so badly for the Federation neither Cmdr. Riker, Data of even Georgi would be left on the Enterprise and instead be commanding their own ships and crews.
