As a Junior Enlisted officer in the military, this has always been one of my favorite episodes. It was excellent to see how the lower ranks (decks) reacted to what those above them are doing, and how the upper ranks react to what the lower decks do. Ensign Sito Jaxa was a favorite character and I really wish she would have returned or her fate determined over on DS9. She would have been a welcome addition (and perhaps a foil/protégé for Kira). I would have rather seen TNG go onto another season rather than go onto the big screen. All in all, this is one of the best episodes TNG ever did. It's too bad they didn't do more episodes showing what was going on with the lower ranks. (or that it took until O'Brien was on DS9 to give him his own pips).
