REVIEW 2022

Warning: Spoilers
It's crew evaluation time again, those three months have passed so soon. Fletcher has more experience with propulsion systems where as Carstairs is better with people and as this is a supervisory position, Deanna gives the nod in her favour.

A Vulcan, a Bajoran and an Earthling stroll into a bar... there's sure to be a joke in there somewhere. Imagine if you were just a cleaner on board ship, wouldn't that be weird? What would happen if you decided that you wanted a day-off, or couldn't be bothered getting out of bed? Do you think anyone would notice on the bridge?

Alyssa, we didn't tune in to hear about your love-life, get back to work Lieutenant. We had her burgeoning romance, betrayal and marriage-proposal all played out without ever meeting the groom.

The good news is we are off to Cardassian space. We're in search of an escape pod. Let's go fetch it.

Picard's chewing Ensign Sito out about that incident at the Academy a couple of years ago, although I don't remember him having it out with Wesley when he was last onboard.

I liked Worf's teaching Sito the Gik'tal and her interaction with Picard and I would have to question his judgement by involving the young ensign in the dangerous mission into Cardassian space. If he gets her killed I will want his head on a silver platter.

A great episode which is what season seven desperately needed, but we never actually got to meet Fletcher or Carstairs. "Aye Aye, Sir, but we're all still crying over here"

This Episodes Clue: Ensign Levelle, Ensign Sito, and Ensign Taurik
