This is definitely a train wreck that's rather awkward to watch. Perhaps it was a good thing they did a very TOS style episode early, and figured out quick that was the wrong path. After the great success TNG ultimately became, it's hard to really understand the difficulties of reviving a 20 year old show. It's not unreasonable to expect fans want more of what they clamored for.
There are some good regular cast moments.
There are tantalizing ideas brought up then dropped on the floor, like Lutan's alarm that the holodeck can create people "without souls" and even his statement to his lieutenant that the humans are very strange. Those ideas had far more promise than a remake of "Amok Time".
