Your research is eye opening to me as well. The MOST story ideas I've pitched to producers of any TV show - including Trek - is around 8. Usually you've your big 3-4 then 3-4 minor/less developed premises. Zicree pitches dozens!? He's really an idea machine generator. He maintains a great YouTube Channel - always producing fun, informative videos. 🖖
I like that Krola is ultimately portrayed sympathetically and shown to be acting for noble (if closed-minded) reasons, which is elegantly communicated through the chancellor's understanding reaction and the fact that he calls him 'my old friend' after Krola shoots himself to frame Riker.
The alien nurse jumping Riker is ridiculous but I laugh every time.
Zicree pitched this at 5AM before Thanksgiving? LOL - wow - crazy.... Great ep and great write-up as usual!!
Great to hear from you, Will! I am amazed at how much I've discovered in writing these. 🙂

Glad it is not just me who enjoys the portrayal of Krola! And yes, it is funny - and striking that today it would not be seen as such.
Many thanks for commenting, Adam!
