Simple story. Good story. Even Wesley isn't annoying. Picard shows that he's an extraordinary leader. Unlike Kirk he prefers a non-violent approach. He is bad with children though :wink:. It's also nice to be reminded that the Enterprise D is not only a science or military vessel. It's also home to families and civilians.
It's also a moral tale about an advanced society that became too reliant on technology and that was almost destroyed by the tech they so heavily rely on. Not only they forgot how to control their technology but they also lost any sense of morale. I like that they don't seem to realize that they took a wrong turn. They are kidnapers and yet they are benevolent and almost innocent. Good that the Federation offers them a generous off-ramp. It's a pity that we don't hear from them again. I would have loved to see how they coped with their problem and whether they were able to save their planet and race.
The episode is also hold back by budget constraints. River advertised this planet as some sort of Atlantis or utopia full of talented artists and craftsmen. We see very little of this.
