Never said it had poor writing. Far from it. Just not exceptional writing, at least not in how the acts and scenes are structured. In terms of the script it is a bit of a poor man's "Duet" albeit one with some great lines. But its major asset is Robinson's presence who delivers a performance that was about as good as any I had ever seen on a Trek show.
