OK, I do it again. I make the comparison. Why is this more Trek than today's "real" Trek ? Because, although they are reheating old TNG stories, they are telling them about all the crew. Not just centered around one individiuum. This is an ensemble show. Everyone get's his share. Some more than others but that is true to most shows anyway. The writers are building up characters so that, when something is happening to them, you actually feel with them. There is emotional investment that is created over time. And because they deal with social issues even if they are very much in your face. But it works for me. I can't remember a show displaying smoking so blatantly. Of course it's always nice to see fellow ST actors. And, coming back to the story, I kinda suspected Laura would turn out to be a distant relative of Gordon. Would have probably a bit too much.
