I've got some problems with the basic conceits of this episode. A spacefaring species that has adapted to work with computers to an enormous extent, they're experts at making even Federation computer tech better... but they don't have a vessel with the computer storage of the Enterprise-D? You'd think that would be the area they WOULD outclass the Federation. Looking at it another way, though, how in the hell does the Enterprise-D have the storage space to hold all (or at least ''enough'' of all) the data stored by such a computer-heavy people? And weren't they trying to get the data onto the Enterprise to get it away from the effects of a nearby supernova? But once they hit Bynar orbit they seemed to just stay there. | I've got some problems with the basic conceits of this episode.

The Bynars were really stumbling over their excuses at the beginning. They might as well have been adding "Yeah, that's the ticket." | |||
It's got to be an awkward moment for Riker when his boss walks in on him kissing a hologram. | It's got to be an awkward moment for Riker when his boss walks in on him kissing a hologram. | ||

I was pretty shocked to find out the admiral was only supposed to be 85. Dude looked older than McCoy did in the first episode, and he was in his 130s. | |||

The Aldeans seemed... pretty stupid in how they handled this situation. They investigated the Enterprise at long range, but not enough to realize how pissed they'd be at having their children taken. So they risk poisoning any relationship with the Federation over a half dozen children? That ain't gonna help anything long term. Certainly the Federation could've helped them, even if their health problem wasn't a relatively simple fix that Doctor Crusher was able to take care of in the space of an episode. We have people now who act as surrogate parents or just donate genetic material to others. Surely there are some 24th century folks who'd be willing to give some sperm and help create the next generation of a fabled lost civilization. Surely there are some orphans out there who could use some help. Though maybe the Aldeans are just too picky--there were still a lot of kids on the Enterprise who apparently they didn't find worth grabbing. | |||
