12:00 "aaaaa...!!! That is how the Kilingons lures a mater." Very solid advice from Worf
"That's a superconducting magnet, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it's an SCM model."
Soo... it's a superconducting magnet model of a superconducting magnet? Lol
God damn. I see that Mädchen Amick has always been hot as hell. Even when she's wearing an outfit that looks like it's made out of carpet, and then turns into some weird Ewok-looking creature. Haha
Picard tells Wesley to stay away from Salia, and Wesley responds "I will do as you ask." He wasn't asking you, dumbass, he was commanding you as your captain. You don't have a choice.
Frankly a boring, rather uneventful episode. Highlights are the dating tips. Most notably Worf's mating rituals and Guinan's unexpected affection for Riker. Salia is lovely. She's innocent, sad and cute. When I was young and I watched this episode for the very first time, I immediately had a crush on her. Wesley isn't lovely. He's a dork. Not even sure whether that's the actor's fault or whtether the script is just bad. He even ruins this innocuous teen romance episode that frankly feels out of place in this show. It's perhaps only the ending when she returns to home and the debriefing in the observation lounge (Wesley is mesmerized. Riker nods like a father figure. Guinan talks about lost love) that is somehow satisfying.
The political background story with the shape shifter falls flat. Those awful montages! Only good scene of this part: Worf's damaged pride.
Summary: TNG was always bad with love stories.
Salia got a big booty. It jiggle when she walk.
Jiggle jiggle.
it is kind of romantic
Wesley please go away signed the audience
In this episode I learned that there are evidently no spoons on the Enterprise.
Only thing interesting about this episode is a young Madchen Amick.
Basically Animorphs, but with more raging testosterone
Interesting shape shifter; love sick puppy Wesley was a little annoying despite good advice from Guinan

Even after watching this episode for the umpteenth time I can't find many positives in it. And that is not (well, not only) the fact it's a Wesley episode. No, the story is just to cheesy, too much of a construct that had to fit a certain need. And those monster costumes are hopefully meant as an homage to TOS because even for the era they look awful. Well at least now I could see how awful they look in HD.
What was funny though was Worf's account of how Klingons mate. And Riker and Guinan, that really sounded sincere. He could have fooled me with that act.
