The idea of the clan wars and the blood feud isn't bad. Especially since Picard mentioned that human history had similar events. Or still does from our vantage point. However the execution wasn't very good to say the least. It lacks emotional weight and investment in the character of Yuta. Just because Riker had an interest in her (which, again happens out of the blue and way to fast. The curse of episodic TV) I don't automatically. She was between a rock and a hard place, struggling with her choices, but ultimately choose a way. In the end her death was use- and senseless. Leaving Riker no other alternative. But it all felt flat because of the mentioned lack of investment in her character. The negotiations with the Gatherers took too much away.
