Right, so I decided to try and re-watch it after the red mist had faded, in the hope that I'd totally lost the run of myself with regard to my initial appraisal. I hadn't.
Some crazy daft moments that I still noticed (and honestly, there's so many more) :
So Worf and Raffi have given up the ghost regarding finding Riker, along with Geordi and the rest of the crew, and they're coming back. That's nice... how? Star Trek universe has become ridiculously small, and not very like Worf to give up just like that, and off screen too.
A doppelganger for Jean Luc, is that right lads, yeah? Mention of the upcoming Frontier Day, with Picard saying that he was supposed to be present. Eh, Tuvok mentioned in only the last scene that you're all fugitives. Man's obviously suffering from dementia.
The whole Data/Lore scenario, perfectly timed to coincide with the Changelings attempts to take over the Titan. Absolutely daft set up.
As for set ups, Vadic boarding the Titan. Jesus wept, it's bad in so many ways. The whole idea of allowing them to board the ship is hardly the greatest of strategies, and as for strategies, why would Vadic go on the away mission herself, and how would Picard and co. know it? Imagine Jack running up to them and she's not there on the away party... it's just daft. Sure you'd blast the shuttlecraft out of the sky if you knew she was on board anyway. Oh, maybe the ships aim is as bad as Picard and Crushers.
I get that Jack is using himself as bait, but why would he bring the girl he fancies with him? No security on board? And this happens in the very same episode where he tells Picard how troubled he is with the fact that people may die because of him. I mean, seriously.
It's poorly written stuff.
