Enjoyable murder mystery with a crazy ending. It's proof again that Beverly deserved more episodes devoted to her, as she's usually very capable at taking the lead, even though this is not as good as some of her previous ones. I enjoyed Guinan's role in all of this, too (her last appearance in the TV show). Seeing a Ferengi scientist is cool, and it would have been nice if there had been at least some discussion about how the character of Dr. Reyga had ended up as one.
It seemed a bit odd to me that the rest of the crew, especially Picard, were disinterested at the potential of a murderer being on board the ship - it would have been fun if Crusher had teamed up with Worf to investigate. In fact, there's an odd level of disinterest from almost all of the other main cast members here. Also, I was a bit incredulous that Jo'Bril endured his own autopsy while apparently conscious, but by the end of the episode is seems that his species doesn't really feel pain. Useful!
The more you stop and think about this one, the less it makes sense, but it's still an enjoyable watch.
