Warning: Spoilers
Possibly one of the worst episodes. For one, I don't understand why Riker always kisses every thing that moves. I guess he is somehow related to Kirk.

I don't understand how Riker fell in love so quickly with the he/she/it or hesheit (I made that up) - enough to jeopardize the prime directive and his career. Moreover, Picard is not even a 'little' phased that his first officer who is all of a sudden thinking of breaking the highest, most important rule of Star Fleet?

And why the hell did Worf join in? That part makes no sense at all (actually, the whole episode makes no sense). Riker's loss of character was not warranted or built-up in any way. Picard's lack of interest in his first officer's sudden loss of control and disregard for rules was also out of character for the captain and destroyed what little the episode had going.

Oh and Geordi has a beard.
