This is a very trekesque episode.
I'm one of people who doesn't mind that trek often has aliens that look human (Bajorans being the prime example) as there are practical limitations to inflicting a makeup chair upon the stars of the show.
We get quite the monumental discovery that many life forms in the quadrant are descendent upon one progenitor race. The episode does a fine job in presenting an episode full of mystery and tension and gives us quite a profound resolution.
I also enjoyed the small peak into Picard's psyche. He is clearly completely committed to being captain of the Enterprise and was only professor Galen by suggesting he required a night to sleep on the decision.
This was a well executed and thought provoking episode.
