Trivia:
For this episode, it was briefly suggested that the Captain's Yacht be used to transport Capt. Picard to Starbase 515 for immediate heart surgery, but the producers decided nix the idea and decided to go with a traditional shuttlecraft instead. Ironically, the Captain's Yacht for the Enterprise-D is never used nor shown throughout the entire series run, however it was used from the Enterprise-E in Star Trek: Insurrection (1998). moreQuotes:

Not a BAD episode, but I kept wincing at the stilted dialog and direction. Painfully awkward. Not a horrible plot, but very contrived in its development, and for me the whole episode is just plain awkward, from the dialog and direction to the plot and ending. TNG by the numbers, very little imagination or logic, and it seemed to end just because it was time. This is SO not one of the crisp, intelligent episodes that I make a point of catching. I just wish they'd give me a chance to rewrite the dialog, and give the characters more chance to actually express some intelligence, and not move through the scenes like robots. It's TNG, of course, and I'll continue to watch it. Unless there's something better to do.
