Well, the best part of this episode was a very small scene of the Engineer from the surface walking around engineering in a brown tight skirt. That's it's for my positives.
The writers attempted to work in a love angle between Troi and Synder but they had the bare minimum of build up and absolutely no chemistry whatsoever --- I wasn't buying it.
Hannah is probably the best part of this episode with her discovery of what life is like out of the bubble she lives in and the fact that Levar Burton can work well with pretty much any actor.
The prime directive angle was pretty flaccid. It certainly was better to save the colony from certain (?) destruction from the core fragment then the fallout from cultural contamination.
There was nothing compelling about the genetically engineered society for me to latch on to. I cared nothing for their plight or the consequences that resulted from Enterprises help.
We get an after school special scene about how disabled people are useful and it's not human to breed chance out of the human equations.
The episode should have steered far more into the genetically engineered versus natural human angle and less so on the prime directive fallout.
The pacing was glacial in this episode and it was a battle to keep myself engaged while watching it.
