Interface - TNG
Strange episode, feels like its in the wrong season. We did the 'family' episode for everyone else years ago, but forgot about poor Geordi. Best given him a family too before we finish. The tech is weird too, what benefit does it have over just sending a regular probe?

Every time I watch this the contrast between first and second half becomes more obvious. You can pinpoint the very moment the story falls apart - Marcus calls the Enterprise from the Vengeance to declare death upon them because reasons. That's it. Before that, it's a reasonably interesting mystery/ethics plot with a side of character development for Kirk. After that, its a story of mindless desire for violence which itself is lost in a succession of action set pieces and TWOK rip offs.
