This episode was directed by Johnathan Frakes. It was pretty good, not great. When a Klingon saboteur is discovered on the ship, it sets in motion a witch hunt. A poor engineer ends up on trial accused of sabotage by a crazed old woman Admiral (who overacts like fucking crazy may I add).
The coolest thing about this episode is the way that the Klingon saboteur transported the stolen data. He used a modified syringe, entered the data into it, the data was then held in cells which were then injected into the body. Exactly how the data gets extracted I have no idea ... but I'm guessing semen.

I disagree!
I love this episode and think it's one of the best of the whole Trek canon. I think it's a great story -- and one that is embarrassingly still relevant -- and Picard's final speech is great. This is the kind of stuff that makes a Trek captain a real hero, not fist fights and shooting torpedos. That's what the producers of the new movies don't get.
Picard was pretty great in this one. And the Romulan/Vulcan engineer was an excellent character.
It has been a number of years since I've seen this full episode, and the actress does overact, I suppose, but yeah...one of the best monologues in Trek history by Picard, so at the end of the day, pretty damn good. I like it a lot.
