Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDr Reyga is the first example of a sympathetic Ferengi--one who isn't motivated entirely by profit. This would later be explored further in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) with Rom and Nog (and to a lesser extent, Quark).
- GoofsAs the shuttle equipped with the metaphasic shielding flies into the star's corona, the temperature rises to more than one million Kelvins. This may be incorrectly regarded as an error because the surface of a sun-like star is only around 6000 Kelvins. However, the corona, which is an aura of plasma that stretches out thousands of miles from the surface, is in fact much hotter than the surface. Our Sun's corona is well over 1,000,000 Kelvins in temperature.
- Quotes
Guinan: You know, I've never been to a formal inquiry.
Doctor Beverly Crusher: Well, I'll see if I can arrange one for you. All you have to do is disobey orders, violate medical ethics and cause an interstellar incident.

Featured review
Dr Crusher investigates the death of a scientist.
This is very straightforward murder mystery that isn't overly bad, just very predictable and simplistic.
It's good to see Dr Crusher have some decent screen time, but the plot unfolds in a rather formulaic structure that tries to be an old fashioned detective story. The end reveal is a nice idea but it's pretty obvious who's going to be behind it all.
Some of the dialogue feels a bit bland and lifeless, it's almost as if it's the same voice talking for a number of different characters. Try guessing what the next line is going to be in certain exchanges and you might surprise yourself with how many you get. I am not keen on the film-noir style narration as it does not work particularly well here.
The involvement of Guinan feels shoehorned in for the character to make an appearance, however Caryn Johnson is on good form, as ever, and has great charisma.
Reading about the conception of this episode it sounds like a case of 'too many cooks' during the scripting process.
Visually it's very good, especially the stellar corona scenes and the alien makeup/costumes.
