The Ensigns of Command

The story is decent. The crew seemed a bit thick headed not to look at the treaty a lot sooner than they did.

It was nice to occasionally see aliens not be easily swayed by a Picard (or Kirk) speech.

But most of the guest actors act so woodenly, I wonder if they got their lines right before shooting each scene. Or possibly they were directed to act this way.

I don't know but it seriously degrades the entire planet side story.

I was unaware until just now that Gosheven's lines were dubbed. Ironic because I thought he was the most convincing of the guests.
