This is the first TNG episode in which people get possessed, which i remember happened a bunch of times. It's also already the second to show the Enterprise-D engaging in a diplomatic mission, another TNG staple. And just like in the previous episode an alien force takes control of the ship. Yeah, Star Trek can be a bit repetitive at times. But this is a cute self-contained episode with a nice main story and a silly but funny B-plot. It also features both Colm Meaney and Mark Alaimo, who would appear on DS9 together until twelve years (!!) later.
