So this episode has the enterprise very wisely send their chief engineer alone onto an unknown enemy vessel full of space morons, ostensibly to repair their guidance system or some ****. If I was acting captain I would have sent an entire engineering team of 4, along with Worf and a full security detail, to ensure expedient resolution of the issue and that nothing can possibly go wrong?
Anyways it doesn't turn out quite how they expect somehow and the space morons pull some untowards ****..
Meanwhile Picard needs surgery and heads off with everyones favourite character. In this B plot we do get a great moment where Picard tells Wesley about the time he got in a fight with some cheating Nausicans (PLAY DOM JOT HUMAN?).
Personally I enjoyed most of this episode and wouldn't put it on my own personal skip list.
