Jack's Review
One of the best TNG episodes without question. The plot elements are as deep as any Trek episode and Terry O'Quinn's performance as Admiral Pressman is just fantastic. However, we have yet another Starfleet admiral with a skewed moral compass. Perhaps Starfleet should rethink their flag officer training methods.
