I like the first act of this episode. The contrast between the lush world and the destruction afterwards depicted in the matte painting is particularly impactful. But it definitely suffers afterwards and there's a real disconnect between the focus on Riker in act one and on Data in the rest of the episode.

Aye, well said. There's a real disconnect here that sucks all the momentum out of the storytelling.
