You would think that with all their technology Star Fleet would have some way to ensure a person's safety - either by projecting a localised shield or a field that disables weapon. And if they couldn't do that, at least they would use sufficient security personnel. Here one of the ugly skulking cavemen involved in the conflict can just walk in and casually murder people. It is so lazy.
This episode also has another example of someone being "famous but not famous". Riva brought peace between the Federation and Klingons, Worf is anxious to meet him, his reputation is legendary. But apparently there are no records of the fact that he uses interpreters? Again, lazy stupid writing where something extremely simple goes wrong to cause an issue.
Worf is proven to be useless once again, Geordi rejects being cured once again, Troi is useless once again as well. She couldn't feel the dissatisfaction of the rogue alien? Worf didn't draw his weapon? Why does Geordi keep enduring his pain and poor substitute for vision for no reason?
Any of the interesting concepts in this episode are too undermined by assaults on logic to keep you interested.
