What should be a fascinating and enjoyable episode around the concept of first contact with an alien species ends up not working at all. This is because the alien species themselves are written and portrayed so poorly, they become insanely annoying. They managed to cast actors who are able to play characters you hate with perfection (no disrespect to them, they are great at doing it).
The scene with Bebe Neuwirth telling Riker he has to make love to her before she will help him is played for laughs but imagine if the roles were reversed. Not a good inclusion.
