Dreadful. This self aware nonsense of the ship's computer and it developing a life form which it sends out into space is a typical Brannon Braga scripted episode. The story is one that you are left thinking WHAT was all that about??? This is worse than some of the Second Season writers strike plagued episodes. How this ever got from paper to screen is beyond me. Such a shame to see Ronald D. Moore's hallowed name in there too! The script has no real redeeming qualities either. A lot of viewers would do well to fast forward past half of this, with only one or two brief moments worth a look. A lot of standing around talking in almost every scene leaves you probably getting up for a cup of tea!
