Well, we have a bonafide dull as hell A and B plot episode here.
The major take-away from the plot involving the wolf/snake ambassadors is that Starfleet is not strictly vegetarian and only eat fake meat when they want to get in touch with their inner primitive primate heritage. It was pretty hilarious at the end of the episode when one of the delegates is eaten by the wolf people and the next gen crew are chill, "Oh, those wacky wolf people!". One of them did lasso Commander Riker in a case of completely understandable mistaken identity.
The cloud of energy beings are a bit salty about one of it's members being taken on a enterprise joyride and decide to captain nap Picard to experience his physical existence. Sadly, Picard has no memory of what is was like becoming pure energy but thankfully he was able to create a giant P on the computer console. We get a data sherlock holmes joke scene that I find quite interesting considering future episodes in the series.
Assorted Thoughts:
I did find it creatively amusing that they brought on an Indian engineer but then gave him the Indian name that white people know ---- 'Singh' ..... Come on... There are 1 billion Indian people in the world and you give him the same last name as Khan?
There's nothing to get out of this and even Beverly Crushers hair was flat and dull ---- it's getting a 4 out of 10.

Assorted Thoughts:
- What was the purpose of the headgear that Bev was wearing in sickbay? There is a giant vinyl symbol on the eye piece that would certainly effect her vision.
- It was laundry day in the crusher household. Wesley is wearing his awesome sweater from last episode and all that Beverly had left to wear was a sweet formal dress typically reserved for medical conferences.
