This thread gave me a good opportunity to watch Starship Mine again, and it's one of my favorite episodes of the season. I didn't know Pat Tallman was in this one, but then I don't think I've seen this since before last year when I took it to myself to watch all of Babylon 5 and become a fan. Also, this was the episode with Hutch and Picard's Saddle. Loved the end line, "It came in handy, only wish I could have used it on a horse." 
It was a fun episode, and for TNG, those were few and far between.
