Creative out of the box thinking in terms of a sci fi story.

Trek at it's foundation is a sci fi show and it's always nice to get a solid science fiction story once and a while.

I was pondering the extreme punishment of removing the essence of these criminals bodies and have them eternally stuck on this planet that's hostile to organic life. What did these criminals do? That's some hard time man. That's a sign of a good storytelling---- If I actually ponder story elements within it after finishing the episode.

I enjoyed watching Data/O'Brien/Troi playing different roles and flexing some acting versatility. It was a nice touch that they kept their inherent skills and used those skills to thwart the Enterprise's rescue attempts.

Where the hell is Guinan? I miss you girl --- Maybe it was her night off?

Solid episode!
