HRH The KING 0 Posted May 29, 2005 Ahhhhh, now THIS is what we needed. A superb episode. The way the Ferengi captain was messing with Picard's mind was excellent. This episode has the Stargazer and the "Picard Maneuver" and an excellent sequence where the Enterprise literally "catches" the Stargazer before Picard can attack. It reminded me of a "Vietnam Flashback" story, where Picard is totally lost in the memory. Fantastic episode. I give it a rating of 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen of Borg 2 Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) this is a great episode about Picard's past. Also like the mention of the Xindi or Xendi here ***** out of ***** Edited January 31, 2006 by Gamera Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted November 20, 2007 5. Nice use of psychological aspects. Good exposition. Well executed episode. Love how the Ferengi arrested their captain for lack of profit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaboGirl 7 Posted July 18, 2008 I'm giving it a 5. And I don't know for a villian race that are supposed to be such failures. 2 episodes featuring the Ferengi... and 2 pretty good episodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poppyseed 0 Posted September 9, 2008 This is worth a 5. I liked the Ferengi and thought it was a fun hour of tv viewing when it was on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
