A thousand points of light, and we get Buzz, Bruiser and Slash. The Enterprise thinks it's found an old Federation starship from 2 centuries ago and have to send a shuttle down to the surface. There the storm picks up and bodysnatches O'Brien, Troi and Data. Riker is saved by a broken arm. Then those three go berserk screaming something about the Southern Polar Region. (Sorry Erik!) O'Brien threatens his baby, the baby screams, and Data wants to fight Klingons in Ten Forward. Don't miss the opportunity to watch a pretty good episode that doesn't follow the sci-fi premise to resolve the ethical dilemma it poses.
