So here we have the crew responding to a distress call from Tasha Yar's home planet. The one that has fallen into anarchy and the federation was like "meh screw em" or something.
Now lets be straight up here, the actual direction and pacing are a bit dodge. Also the crew reacts somewhat uncharacteristically at times... But!
What makes this episode not worth skipping for me is the actress that plays Tasha Yar's sister Ishara. Beth Toussaint is drop dead hot first of all, but gives a good performance. Like I've read in many other reviews, I wish they'd have taken her on as permanent crew member. She's more exiting to watch and quite likely a better actor than the established female cast, whom we all know don't really get a fair shake as goes writing.
That said this isn't the strongest episode, but it does give some back story to Tasha Yar and her planet. Also hot.
