"Several groups, including the Federation, bid for rights to manage the entrance to a wormhole near a resource-poor planet."
This was a really good episode. The writting was excellent and they managed to work a bunch of plots successfully into one interesting episode. I love wormhole stuff anyway, so I was able to pay attention for nearly the entire forty something minutes. A great scene is when Data and Geordi are sent into the wormhole to investigate the stability, they are an excellent duo and sort of remind me of Balki and Cousin Larry. The side plot involves Troi having a steamy affair with the Negotiator (played by Sgt. Lassard from Police Academy). Also the Ferengi are heavily involved in this one, which is always fun. There are a slew of great guest actors as well, including Sgt Copeland from Police Academy (yes TWO people from Police Academy) and the dude that played Predator.
I had a real good opportunity to watch a bunch of TNG episodes this weekend ... but didn't. Instead I watched the entire first season of Hell on Wheels. Which was awesome! I like westerns anyway, but this one is so well written and acted. Most noteably the rapper Common is great and the wonderful Colm Meaney is just amazing. He played such a bit part on the majority of TNG (until the last few seasons), it's crazy to see what an awesome actor he is. Although he does always play the same part, obnoxious Irish guy.

Colm Meaney is cool. He was maybe the best thing about that movie Get Him to the Greek (which wasn't a bad movie, actually).
Did they try to get him to the Greek via transporter?
I did watch the first episode of Hell on Wheels a while ago and thought it was pretty great. One of these days I'll finish it.
You know ... he WAS good in that terrible movie
