It’s a good episode, that’s for sure. And still very, very relevant.

I remember being concerned that they would attempt to re-create Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. I remember reading in a magazine that they wouldn't do this. This was just before I started getting on BBSs, so I only knew what my friends in middle school were saying and whatever few articles got published in mainstream papers and magazines that I happened to see.. Thinking about it now, I wonder how I lived in such an information vacuum.
I was really happy, though, that the captain was nothing like Kirk.

I just watched this one this evening, and it holds up even better now more than ever. We must, as always, remain vigilant.
This was always my favourite episode as a teenager. I love a good 'bottle show,' especially with performances like this
And I especially love seeing how Picard takes the time to get to know Tarses and put him at ease, and later to protect him at a risk to his own career. It's a softer side of Picard's character that echoes his conversation with Tasha (when she was in the penalty box) in Hide and Q. Picard seems to have a talent for seeing and appreciating qualities in junior officers that other overlook. Like how he chose Geordi as part of his command crew after a meeting years before on a shuttlecraft (The Next Phase) or chose Riker after reading about his disobedience (The Pegasus)
Yeah, I was really happy to see him pop up again in a recent Trek book for a brief but satisfying moment with Picard
