I suppose if you dig extremely deep there is an actual message to get out of this snoozer. Love of family conquers logic? Is that it?
This has to be saddest first contact episode in TNG history. Geordi's mom accidently trapped a group of 'sub space creatures' in the atmosphere and died a terrifying death as the subspace creature attempted to communicate with them. Geordi is able to communicate with these creatures thanks to the power of space magic and the creatures use an image of Geordi's mom to make contact with him and attempt to convince Geordi to take them out of the atmosphere.
This episode is just missing too many elements to be enjoyable and the pacing is glacial. I read on another site that this episodes concept initially involved Riker's dad being the one killed on the planet ---- That would have had at least some type of impact since we actually know the character.
Geordi's a trusting guy. These sub space creatures did try to take over his body and then 'suggested' that the destruction of the ship was an accident.
This episodes was a mess and couldn't even be saved by Levar Burtons charisma.
