The idea is interesting ---- aliens who have no understanding of human/starfleet emotion attempt to understand it by essentially putting on a dramatic performance to experience the emotions.
There is nothing inherently bad about this episode but the pacing/flow of it really dragged for me. It was fun to see Worf endure the intolerable ambassador but I did not get much out of the ambassador with the sweet tooth. The ambassador of love (my pet nickname) storyline was interesting enough and extremely awkward with a 'no means no' physical assault from the ambassador.
I think the scene between Picard and the Ambassador could have been resigned to take up the majority of the episode and would have landed better for me if we had truly no idea what was going on. Like perhaps this is the aliens societies idea of first contact?
Not an overly enjoyable experience for me despite good performances from the majority of the players.
