An interesting episode about ramifications of warp drive upon a planet of aliens. In the review section the gloves are off between the red face environmentalist and those who did not appreciate being brow beaten with the environmental message.
I go into trek with the expectation of getting a bit of a sermon but I do appreciate when it is elegantly done. This episode messaging reminds me of that S1 episode when Wesley crusher ask Tasha Yar why people would do drugs.
Does anyone (who is a trek fan) not believe it is in our best interest to practice environmental conservatism? Makes sense to me.
This episode is quite interesting in how it resolves the problem ----- Starfleet decides to mitigate the issue by putting up a speed limit. I suppose you could call that a depressing dose of realism.
It's a pretty okay episode. They should have ditched the plot element of Data training his cat and inserted a love arc between Geordi and one of the scientists ---- We could get some delicious tense moments and her sacrifice would have had additional weight. That's my 20/20 hindsight kicking in ----
