For a second episode, it could have been a great way of getting to know the characters, but the only person they really do anything with that is Geordi, in the scene where he talks about wanting normal vision (and, now that I think about it after reading the comment above, Tasha as well).

It's an iconic episode because Spock loses control of his emotions for the first time in the series, so the reasoning was they should do a similar one for TNG to show the audience what these characters were about. Instead it illustrated just how different the two shows are in their approach and how much times have changed.

I loved the ending with Data and Wesley. As for Tasha, she's not a lesbian but until around age 16 or though she grew up on a planet where there was no law. The major forces were the rape gangs and drug lords. So she suffered a lot of abuse before she got rescued and joined Starfleet. In one of the ST books she explains she chose Data because he was "safe" compared to human males. .-= Debbie's World of Books´s last blog ..<a href="http://debbiesworldofbooks.com/2009/11/11/waiting-on-wednesday-november-11/" rel="nofollow">Waiting on Wednesday November 11</a> =-.
