All-in-all, this was a really good episode. Best of the season, so far. I have a few complaints, but they are very minor and didn't really take anything away from the overall plot.
The first is the tidbit of information Nerak and Rizzo coaxed out of Soji. A planet with two moons and electrical storms. Maybe there's more than two moons and the others Soji couldn't see. How do you know it was an actual planet; Maybe it was a large moon. Maybe the electrical storms are rare occurrences, happening once every two hundred years or so. Furthermore even if it was a planet with two moons and frequent electrical storms; The galaxy's a pretty big place; I can imagine something like this:
Rizzo: "Computer, find all planets with two moons and electrical storms."
Computer: "There are 8,947 planets that match search parameters."
Rizzo: "Crap!!! Nerak, don't kill her yet!"
Nerak <sniffling>: "Too late..."
The second is Legolas... err Elnor. This dude running around with a sword against opponents with particle beam weapons or disruptors. Yeah... without the plot conveniences setup by the writers, he should have been vaporized by now. I know swords are cool and all, but there's a reason why we stopped using these weapons in the battlefield hundreds of years ago.
Finally... I still don't understand why Picard and Soji simply couldn't beam back to La Sirena. Elnor seemed to be able to beam to the Borg cube without any problem. A little exposition about security fields preventing beam out or something would have been nice.
The Picard/Hugh scenes were great. Raffi was good this episode. She and Rios have good chemistry. Dr. Jurati still hasn't done much, other than murder her lover/mentor and banging Rios. Elnor, at least in my opinion, really is just a 3rd wheel... unnecessary to the crew. A much better pick would have been Laris, or even Zhaban, but I guess the show's creators felt it best for them to be tending the vineyard rather than using their years of experience and expertise as Tal Shiar agents.
