What do you say about a colony on an alien world that tries to be Scotland but is actually just a setting for misogynistic gaslighting, or, perhaps, ghost-lighting? I don't know. We're workshopping that one. Just like the writers were with this script. Hey-o! Beverly Crusher's grandmother passes away and at the funeral is a fetching lad. That lad starts to seduce Beverly through the power of journal-writing and candles, then turns her against the rest of the crew trying to get her to come to her senses. Picard finally does it, but then Beverly fires a new phaser setting to rescue herself from having to moan on camera anymore. It's ... messy.
