Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode marks the first mention of the Romulans in The Next Generation.
- GoofsNear the end, Data tells Riker that the Enterprise would have to leave for the Neutral Zone in 48 minutes, in order to reach it in time at maximum warp (which, for the Enterprise, is ordinarily about warp 9). A little later, that deadline has gone down to 17 minutes. Yet when Picard thereafter retakes command, he orders the ship to proceed to the Neutral Zone at warp 6, in which case they would not reach it in time.
- Quotes
Lieutenant Worf: Engineering reports computer ma... a... ATCHOO! I'm sorry - I'm getting sick.
Lieutenant Geordi La Forge: I'm sure half the ship knows that by now.

Featured review
First time I have been compelled to write a review of TNG episode
My wife and I have been trying all the post TOS version. Unlike most people, we have found Deep Space Nine the most compelling. We find the most serious acting and writing defects in TNG. She has given up on it, but I am soldiering on. However, Angel One stands out as a nadir in television programming. I wont rehash what most people have already written about it.
One of the conceits in the general "Star Trek Universe" is that planets aren't subdivided into countries. Angel One is supposed to be the equivalent to mid-20th century earth (the 50s), however the technology seemed even equivalent to the early 21st century. Politically, there seemed to be a single world leader, Beata, and everybody had easy access to her. This reminded me of TOS, and 50s science fiction movies, where limited budgets required world leaders to consist of councils of 3 men, sitting at a folding table with a ham radio and a table cloth draped over it.
And, of course, this sophisticated world leader, ruler of millions, is dissuaded from long standing jurisprudence, codified through, I am sure, some sort of constitutional legal means, on the just punishment for treasonable acts, by a trite speech on evolution vs. revolution.
At least the cracked cadence of Kirk would have been more entertaining.
