Synopsis: Beverly gets moist for an amnestic patient and tells Wesley all about it.
Memory Alpha Summary: As Worf says, less talk, more synthehol
Review: A very slow episode. Our visitor affects a lot of people on the ship. Beverly “connects” with him. He makes Geordi suddenly awesome with women (though only compared to his former clumsy self). He nearly kills and saves the lives of the crew. And then he evolves into pure energy. I guess the episode makes the point how evolution is awesome and governments shouldn’t stop it, but it seems more like a straw man conflict to me.
The bad guys threaten to start firing on the Enterprise if they don’t return the visitor, and then decide to give them two hours to decide. A lot of enemies of the Enterprise do this. Why give them time to think about it? Well, if they didn’t, we wouldn’t have a chance for Picard to give another speech in the conference room, so there’s that. At least they didn’t say, “two of your Earth hours.”

Other races seem to choose reasonable lengths of time, too, working from the same sort of timeframes. Never “You have 3 years to decide!”
Would have been better if they’d said, “We will give you 1/2 episode to comply!”
I think you mean “We will give you 1/2 of your earth episodes to comply.”
Ha ha — rightly so!
This is another episode I don’t remember very well. There have been a lot of those lately. I’m guessing we’re in the “forgettable” zone of your list, right?
Yeah, a lot of these are not bad enough to hate, but not good enough to care about.
I often think of this episode as “the one before the Borg”
