Having encountered another all-powerful entity, the crew confounds expectations by reacting to all of the events in the episode without a shred of professionalism or discipline. Even Data seems unable to form a hypothesis, stuck in the exhausting discurvise patterns of a freshmen physics student. Nevertheless, the episode does mark another step forward in quality for the series as we see glimpses of what the show will become.
