Let's see...
We're supposed to believe:
Starfleet chooses to send a Ship's Captain, a Ship's Doctor and 1 security officer (even if it is Worf) on a commando raid deep into Cardassian space with no current intelligence and no real idea of a mission. The Federation of a thousand planets can't put together an actual commando force?
Then we have assigning a new Captain to the Enterprise while Picard is away on his raid, despite having a first officer who is well-trained, experienced and has demonstrated numerous times his ability to handle the Enterprise.
Fundamentally, this episode (both parts) is stupid. The script is ridiculous.
