two mismatched stories in 1 episode only at the very end does the A and B plot briefly tie in together
If you are ever looking for a "so bad it's hysterically funny" movie to watch, I highly recommend Agent from H.A.R.M. starring Peter Mark Richman.
This feels like Roddenberry's unwillingness to let go of the 'Yankee Trader' contrast to the Enterprise Crew (after the Ferengi fizzled). It also feels like two scripts jammed together. I've been told there was a writer's strike, but this is an anaemic episode to end season 1 on. It doesn't do either story element justice and it amounts to 'Stay Tuned'.
Funny. The Braves. The Atlanta Braves? The Atlanta Braves were a terrible team for a long time when this was filmed in 1988. Then they became one of the most dominant teams since 1991. The Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Braves were the two teams that all or most Americans with cable could watch back then as they both had their own cable television stations, TBS and WGN. I guess they chose one of those two teams as they probably thought many Americans might be familiar them.
He missed out because he was frozen before they turned it around. I bet he was amazed when he looked up the statistics. lol
