Just as I was feeling put off by the stereotypical ‘gruff man in a leather jacket’ look of the gatherers they pull out the old and wrinkled rebel and show that Star Trek writers are still capable of some originality. In general a good episode, but with some ugly plot holes. Someone really should have told Riker about the stun setting on his phaser… or at least about doing a body tackle as an alternative to shooting the ‘alien babe of the week’ to death.

    I liked Yuta! -sob- She really was done very well, and it sure was nice to see Riker *not* going to bed with someone for once. Wot’s-his-face (can’t remember his name) the Gatherer guy played by Joey Aresco, he was pretty good, too. He seems one-dimensional, but actually he’s not. You can see this the best in the scene in Ten-Forward, I think.
