This first of a two part story finds Patrick Stewart, Michael Dorn, and Gates McFadden on detached assignment from the Enterprise. For this occasion Starfleet
has sent another captain played by Ronny Cox to relieve Captain Picard of command of the Enterprise.
Good thing Picard took Worf as part of his mission team because Cox really would have had trouble then. As it is the crew is really under a strain with a captain who wants things done yesterday. The one Cox really gets at odds with is Jonathan Frakes.
As for Picard, Worf and Dr. Crusher the mission is a bust and Picard is captured by a nasty Cardassian played by David Warner who must have read up on Dr. Mengele and refined some of his torture experiments.
Cox plays someone who overcomes doubts with bravado and Warner is playing one of his usual patented heavies.
Things are looking tense at the end of Part I.
