Another great story that deals with a social issue in a Star Trek way. And one where I actually whished there was no music in the end-credits. Having the cheerfull fanfare after that last scene somewhat destroys the emotional impact. We see a very different side of Lwaxana here and Majel Barrett has some strong scenes. Her arguing about the Resolution with Timicin was very interesting and you can see logic in both arguments. The story works in two ways. The obvious being how to deal with the old people. Which I can say from personal experience isn't always easy. It is also a reminder of how we are tending to lay our values like a template over other cultures and judging them by that. At the same time ignoring how we might appear to them. Life doesn't, or shouldn't, work that way.
