Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPicard mentions the starships Akagi and Hornet. These were the names of two aircraft carriers that fought against each other at the World War II naval battle of Midway.
- GoofsThe reason O'Brien appears to be wearing the rank insignia of a lieutenant, even though he was a non-commissioned officer with the rank of chief petty officer at the time, is because at the time Starfleet did not have separate rank insignia for enlisted personnel. Plus producer Ronald D. Moore stated once in an interview that at first O'Brien was just meant to be a minor background character so the writers didn't worry much about what his actual rank was.
- Quotes
[Data has been assigned to command the USS Sutherland]
Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Hobson: Excuse me, sir. I'd like to request a transfer.
Lt. Commander Data: May I ask why?
Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Hobson: I don't believe I'd be a good first officer for you.
Lt. Commander Data: Your service record to date suggests you would perform that function adequately.
Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Hobson: No, no, no, that's not what I mean. I don't think I'd be a good first officer for *you*.
Lt. Commander Data: Why?
Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Hobson: Frankly, sir, I don't believe in your ability to command this ship. You're a fellow officer and I respect that, but... no one would suggest that a Klingon would be a good ship's counselor or that a Berellian could be an engineer; they're just not suited for those positions. By the same token, I don't... think an android is a good choice to be captain.
Lt. Commander Data: I understand your concerns. Request denied.

I never quite bought the whole business of how she became Tasha Yar's daughter and was introduced in the series. Still this is an exciting episode.
Captain Picard proposes a blockade plan and this is accepted by Star Fleet as their way of intervening and yet not intervening in the Klingon's internal war. As for Crosby and the Romulans their whole effort depends on secrecy.
Some of senior staff of the Enterprise go to other ships and that includes Data. An android has never been given command of a starship before, but despite some doubts among his human crew Brent Spiner actually saves the day. You have to see how.
A nicely done story, but the Duras clan ain't finished by a long shot.
