I thought you were just a misguided idealist. But you're a dangerous man. People like you would destroy the Federation if given a chance. This episode could've been many great things, but it chooses many of the most disappointing paths.

This could've been a great episode. It should've been a great episode. Frankly, I'm a little shocked that it didn't live up to its potential. This has to be one of the most unexpected disappointments of the season. Perhaps some details of that plot are in order.
