This has all the ingredients to be a good episode: the Doctor as the story's focus, some great guest actors, a juicy ethical quandary. But it fails due to how generic and unadventurous it is. It feels like an episode that Trek has done numerous times before, a mish mash of overused ideas being recycled. The end result just has no spark and there is zero thrill in watching it. My favourite part was the final scene with Seven and the Doctor.
I hated the alien designs here, they were bland and obvious. And how come several of the alien doctors and patients looked completely human?
Also: damn it, Jerry! Why couldn't you just tell us where Gar is?!
