Although the Enterprise is the most prestigious ship in Starfleet, working there seems not exactly a good career move. The whole crew holds the same positions as 15 years ago, and Captain Picard now has to take orders from Admiral (!) Janeway. The only apparent way to quit is to die and this almost never happens in a long-running franchise like Star Trek. If it does, it is potentially quite moving (as with Tasha Yar) or undone later (as with Spock). From a review I read I knew beforehand that it would happen in this one, but I was not sure to whom, so I was afraid it could be Picard and hoping it would be Riker. But alas, it is Data who takes the audacious leap (and another one five minutes before), which would have been much more tragic without the prior unearthing of another one of his lost brothers and the transfer of Data's complete memory to that brother.

Also featuring appearances by Wesley, Guinan and a Picard clone.

I went bowling yesterday. I do not do this very often, so I have no idea if my score (128) was good or not, but it was enough to finish first out of nine people.
