This has to be one of the top ten best TNG episodes. Its a fairly simple plot, Picard bonds with a woman (Lt Cmdr Nella Daren) over their shared passion of music. They soon begin a relationship. Nella gets sent on a dangerous mission and nearly dies. In the end Picard must let her transfer off of the Enterprise because a relationship with her would interfere with his duties.
The acting is fantastic with Stewart and Wendy Hughes giving incredible performances. Also, the cinematography was so much better than in previous episodes. I'm not really sure why. It had interesting camera angles and the quality of film just seemed much better.
Anyway, I have nothing negative to even really say about this one. Even when they had long, drawn-out scenes of Picard and Daren jamming on the flute and keyboard ... I still found it very entertaining.

I should rewatch this episode before I comment, but I remember being bored so I have no interest in rewatching it... so there's my comment.
Actually... here are more comments: Wasn't she the head of stellar cartography, or something? Which I'm assuming means she makes maps of star systems and such? So why would she ever need to beam down on an away mission? What possible use could she serve?
