- GoofsRiker and his team transport directly aboard the Hathaway, which is supposedly without power. There could be breathable air, but a ship abandoned without life support would be too cold for them to board without freezing. Remote access can certainly take place and obviously there is power or there would have been no lights when they beamed over. Obviously they would have activated life support ahead of time.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Kolrami....what a big butt-head!
The guest alien in this episode is a weirdo named Sirna Kolrami. While pretty harmless looking, Kolrami is apparently a savant when it comes to strategy and is the universe's greatest at some game involving strategy. The problem is that Kolrami is also a big butt- head--with an arrogance that makes him difficult to say the least. The reason that Kolrami is on the Enterprise is that he is to supervise a war game between the ship and an older, mothballed ship, the Hathaway. Riker is given command of this other ship and creates a crew for it from Enterprise staff. But, given that the Hathaway is old, has no warp drive and is at a huge disadvantage is most every way, the odds against Riker are tremendous. What's worse-- Kolrami has complete contempt for Riker and his strategic skills. Add to this mix a nearby Ferengi crew who are watching and hoping for an opportunity for some profit.
This is a pretty good episode. Well written, a bit funny and memorable.
