Trivia
In what will become a character trademark on both TNG and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), Miles O'Brien reports to Sick Bay after injuring his shoulder in a Holodeck kayak simulation. It's not his first accident, because Wesley asks "Kayaking again?"

Goofs
After Data and the away team beam to the planet to investigate the crashed vessel, Data does a scan and says that the radiation levels are all right. The team did not beam to the planet wearing any special equipment, so the scan should have been done before they transported.

Average episode - interesting ideas but poor execution

An away team rescues a badly injured survivor from a crash site, who demonstrates remarkable healing properties but has no memory of who or even what he is. Perhaps a strange storage device from the crash site will shed some answers...

If ever an episode typified TNG then it is this one: the show has some interesting ideas and an intriguing mystery at the centre of it but it distracts itself with unnecessary subplots, a poor supporting cast and some laughably amateurish effects in places. McFadden is underserved yet again as Crusher begins to fall for her alien patient for some reason and Geordi's love life is not an aspect of TNG I ever wish to revisit.
