Rob Eberhardt

Symptoms:

Bad acting.  I guess Frakes & Sirtis are several years outta practice (and shape).  And who wrote that dialog anyway?

Bad effects.  Can't think of a good excuse here.  I mean, really: stars between the camera and the ship?!? (space-fireflies???)

Bad production.  Tons of obvious overdubs.  They must've already pink-slipped the sound engineer.  (Not to mention the amateur-looking phasers...)

Why end an otherwise decent series (and legacy) on a bad note??  Bah!

Diagnosis:

"slapped together"
