Trivia:
The original version of this episode made no mention of alien parasites; the conspiracy in question was a military coup within Starfleet. Gene Roddenberry bitterly opposed this, saying that Starfleet would never do such a thing, and the alien angle was introduced. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: As Worf is thrown against the wall in the Admiral's quarters the replicator shakes for a moment revealing the fact that it's a prop. moreQuotes:
Lt. Cmdr. Dexter Remmick: You don't understand... We mean you no harm.[stands up, his neck pulsing with alien parasites]
Lt. Cmdr. Dexter Remmick: We seek peaceful coexistence!
[Riker and Picard open fire, blasting Remmick and the creatures to bits]

"Conspiracy" ranks as one of the most disgusting installments in episode television history. The story line involves an infiltration of Star Fleet by "intelligences" bent on the destruction of the Federation. A longtime friend of Beverly Crusher visits the Enterprise and brings with him a sinister secret, revealed in a stunning confrontation with Worf.
As the conspiracy widens, Capt. Picard and Ryker return to Earth and come face-to-face with the "mother" of the conspiracy, setting the stage for one of the most dramatic and jaw-dropping scenes in Trek history.
'It's too bad that the producers didn't decide to continue with a follow-up episode that would tie up some of the loose ends from this memorable show.
