I loved it. It was the first episode of TNG I ever watched.
It was hilarious and serious at the same time. I remember laughing harder than I did on one of the episode's of Voyager I can remember watching when I was like 13, I think that episode was Scientific Method.
But I loved it. It got me into TNG which up until 2 years ago I had only seen 2 or 3 episodes of. But now I thoroughly enjoy all of it.
The shuttle scene was the best.
