Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWil Wheaton and Patrick Stewart came up with the gag where Wesley Crusher encounters a non-automatic door for the first time. They approach the door, which Wesley stares at. Picard looks at Wesley, as if thinking "Aw kids!" and opens it for him.
- GoofsIf a shuttle is incapable of warp speed and it is going to take six hours to get to Starbase 515, it makes no sense to send that slow vehicle on a trip that long when the Enterprise could whisk Picard and Crusher there in no time.
- Quotes
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: There's no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.
Wesley Crusher: But William James won't be on my Starfleet exams.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship.
Wesley Crusher: And Starfleet Academy...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Takes more. Open your mind to the past - art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something.

Anyways it doesn't turn out quite how they expect somehow and the space morons pull some untowards ****..
Meanwhile Picard needs surgery and heads off with everyones favourite character. In this B plot we do get a great moment where Picard tells Wesley about the time he got in a fight with some cheating Nausicans (PLAY DOM JOT HUMAN?).
Personally I enjoyed most of this episode and wouldn't put it on my own personal skip list.
