For the first time in Season 1 --- music is actually used effectively in this episode and the tone fits the scene. When you get tied-down to a chair and forced to watch S1 at gunpoint you start to realize how improved the music, camera angles, performances, dialogue, well EVERYTHING from S1.
This episode fits right in with a hammy 80's action show with an over the top villain. I believe the intention with Lore is to make him scary/psychopath but I just find him hilarious and appreciate him on a ironic/campy level.
I would love to read 'Wesley's' dear diary after this situation. "Captain Picard told me to shut up even though my suspicions were proven right, I then transported Lore out into space and Picard didn't even apologize or thank me ---- so, I decided not to tell him that he forgot to transport lore into a holding cell...."
For season 1 this is actually pretty decent. The pacing is solid with each scene leading to the next. The evil brother thing? Well, it feels like something taken from a daytime soap opera but it was fun.
