I'm trying to judge this episode on its own, but it's hard not to let part 2 color my opinion. I'm tentatively giving this a B, because it's an interesting setup, and it's fun watching Brent Spiner emote. With that said, the stupidity of them sending the entire command crew down to planet and leaving the freakin' doctor in charge of the Enterprise in a time of crisis really tempts me to drop it a letter grade... and I may yet go back and do that after I ponder for a while.
low b, high c
Torn between C and D. The second part is much more offensive. It's when the episode really goes to shit.
True - I think knowing how part 2 goes really fouls my opinion of part 1, which on it's own is a decent setup.
Awful. Worst episode of season 6. It’s an E
Its a B-ish C. The first part was very solid but the second part suffered in quality.
Mind control plots should be outlawed in the writers' room at this point.
Barely a B. It's ok, as a Part 1. Spiner saves it from C-tier.
C-Tier. I find it's just a bit, meh... It's not a very good season finale or even two parter. Regardless of how many times I watch this episode, I simply don't care for it.
B-tier just for Brent Spiner's chilling performance as a Data that seems to be... descending into madness. Eh, ehhhh? I'll see myself out.
C-tier. It's just okay. Evil Data doesn't really do it for me anymore if it doesn't result in any consequences for him. Also, why do all the senior leaders need to lead search parties? Dr. Crusher was effective, but maybe someone from the command crew should stay aboard to coordinate the strategic picture? If only we had any experience with the Borg in our command crew.
Shelby was told to hit the road so Riker could take up space
I give it a B tier rating. The only thing I like about it is when Picard gives command to someone you don't expect.
