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.
It's got to be an awkward moment for Riker when his boss walks in on him kissing a hologram.
Picard sure jumps to "We'd better set the self-destruct." pretty quickly. He's right that it would be irresponsible to let the Enterprise end up in the wrong hands, but giving himself a max of 5 minutes to find out what's going on and do something about it seems a bit tight. There are other instances where the ship is taken over and that doesn't seem to be the first thing to come to mind.
