Daimon Bok (from the first season episode 'The Battle') hails Captain Picard.

This is a fairly silly episode, but it is rescued by Patrick Stewart's performance.

'The Battle' for me was a reasonably good episode, but Bok was a forgettable villain that I had no interest in seeing again. The character is reintroduced with a Kahn-like obsession for revenge on Picard. Lots of threats are made, but it's obvious that everything is going to work out fine.

The scenes involving the character Jason are good for one reason: Patrick Stewart. He makes the random concept of a late season 7 appearance of Picard's son to be watchable, due to his realistic performance and eloquent delivery of dialogue.

The sci-fi elements of the story are not great by Star Trek standards, but I can't go into detail with spoiling important parts of the plot.
