A partial success.
While I did find this episode unsettling, I feel it was lacking a key ingredient. Perhaps having a slightly askew Picard in conflict with himself as the primary plot device would have landed better for me if present throughout most of this episode. Or how about this ---- We (the viewer) are part of the Enterprise ship that gets destroyed and then we are placed into the enterprise from 6 hours earlier? This would have really added to the suspense of the episode in experiencing what is coming.
It's a interesting idea that could have used a few re-writes.
