Now this one I like :)

Rikers game with the Zakdorn (Sp?) bloke makes me laugh, with Geordis' questions before hand and Polaskis' subsequent manoeuvering of Data in to taking the guy on with a view to taking him down a notch was amusing as well.

Overall the ep isn't that significant but the storyline works well for me, the Borg get a mention rather than just being one hit wonders, and the crew interract well - which has been one of the saving graces of S2 imo anyway :ponder:

Until now I'd never realised that this ep was written by Farscape's David Kemper :thumbsup:

Oh, and look - there's Aaron from 24... with hair!! :o :lol:

Great fun, this ep, and it should be considering it's the last "proper" episode of the season. The way Riker and co improvise is amusing, although I find it hard to believe they wouldn't be called out as cheats :lol:

The games of Strategema are good fun as well, although Pulaski is at her most irritating here. I'm quite surprised that the crew of the Hathaway didn't signal the Enterprise straight away to let them know that the Ferengi ship was real, too, cos they must have known :ermm:
