[last lines]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [on Data's suggestion that the new life form may be dangerous] The intelligence that was formed on the Enterprise didn't just come out of the ship's systems. It came from us, from our mission records, personal logs, holodeck programs, our fantasies. Now, if our experiences with the Enterprise have been honorable, can't we trust that the sum of those experiences will be the same?

Dreadful. This self aware nonsense of the ship's computer and it developing a life form which it sends out into space is a typical Brannon Braga scripted episode. The story is one that you are left thinking WHAT was all that about??? This is worse than some of the Second Season writers strike plagued episodes. How this ever got from paper to screen is beyond me. Such a shame to see Ronald D. Moore's hallowed name in there too! The script has no real redeeming qualities either. A lot of viewers would do well to fast forward past half of this, with only one or two brief moments worth a look. A lot of standing around talking in almost every scene leaves you probably getting up for a cup of tea!
