A powerful episode, if somewhat lacking in subtlety. Data's trial is gripping not just due to the script but due to the performances of all involved, notably Patrick Stewart and Jonathon Frakes. Whoopi Goldberg also proves her presence to the show as invaluable and lending an extra quality of class.
Sure, the result here is never in doubt but the episode pulls no punches. It's regarded as a classic for a reason, although it would be outdone many times over in the years to come, and looking back it does feel somewhat quaint.
