If you can believe it ---- Marc Alaimo played an unnamed Antican delegate in this episode. That's so crazy --- he was clearly born to play an unnamed reptilian extra in a mediocre TNG episode.
I like it when plots have an actual resolution and purpose and the entire sub plot of the division between the snake people and the wolf people's purpose is to fill in time so that the plot about the energy being taking over the Enterprise can be told.
This episode is about an alien entity made up of energy accidentally (?) being sucked into the enterprise computer system and then taking control of various crew members. Ultimately, the alien joins with Picard and decides to take Jean Luc with them back to the energy cloud. Why? Well, guess we will just leave that to our own imagination because there is no reason provided ---- I was going to go with cultural exchange but unfortunately Jean Luc does not remember any of his experience.
A new positive for the episode is Riker's commentary on human beings previously treating Animals like slaves. I am not feeling great about contributing to our collective animal slavery trade right now.
It's nice to see some Indian representation. By the 24th century 90 percent of our population will be Chinese or Indian, so realistically Enterprise should be captained by Captain Sharma and Commander Zhao.
This episode is bad and not bad in a way that I can laugh at it/with it and enjoying it ironically.
