I felt that the rift wasn't really explored properly - and was irritated that they seemed to be talking - they should still have been in the pre-Babel estrangement?

I was more talking about the actors though. I knew that mark Lenard was going to be the one that I would miss the most, so was prepared for that, but Winona Rider was so wrong imo. Amanda was beautiful, graceful, full of a sense of serenity (except when she got pissed) that was very missing, I felt.

McCoy was fantastic!
