After three seasons of serialized bullcrap, Trek finally returns to its episodic roots. This episode has almost everything that made TOS and TNG so fabulous. It has Federation ideals, bravery, drama, and a whole lot of 'this is plain what we do'. And it is an episode that can be watched for what it is, not for where it is going in the next installment. Keep it up!
