This is a Wesley heavy ep, deals with him applying to Starfleet. It also has a secondary plot (Dual A?) of Picard being questioned for decisions made in prior episodes. When this was new I remember liking pic.twitter.com/1xuBGNng4f

this for Wesley character dev. But now looking back, and knowing happens in the Conspiracy ep, it doesn't play as strongly. Wanted Remmick sent out an airlock - made for a super tense not very enjoyable ep. pic.twitter.com/bK2GYddjfO
