I love creativity in star trek storytelling.
This is a wonderfully crafted episode that brings back Tasha Yar and gives her a role of prominence in the episode and a 'potential' death of great importance.
This episode has everything ----- the mystery of what is going on with the changes to the enterprise D, the intrigue of Guinan's ESP, striking use of shadow and clever camera work/angles, a moral dilemma of whether to sacrifice the Enterprise C crew or not, a light dusting of a love story, Patrick Stewart in fine form as a weary war Captain and it's great to see an invigorated Denise Crosby.
There's even a message to get out of this one! One ship/person can indeed make a difference or change the course of history and we get to experience a 'what if' alternative future.
The only downside? I want more. Show me what life is like in the Enterprise D alternative timeline or an episode or two of the enterprise C dealing with the klingons and the promise of peace in the air lead up before this event happened. When an episode spurs my imagination to do some bad fan fiction ---- you know it's a great one.
