In this episode, the Enterprise was carrying delegates from the Anticans and the Selay to a conference on the planet Parliament. On the way, the ship's systems were invaded by an energy being.
The best thing about this one, I thought, is that it represents the first time Data ever heard about Sherlock Holmes! There he was, walking around with his calabash pipe (Tasha waving smoke out of her face...) and talking in that affected Victorian accent!

Atoz. I remember this was one of the funnier episodes! After Data was acting like Sherlock Holmes for awhile, Captain Picard said to Data to "Get rid of that **** pipe." I got a good laugh out of that line!! ;D

"It's elementary, my dear Riker!" [pause] "... Sir." The Selay were reptilians and the Anticans were mammals, looking a little bit like ferrets. The hated each other with a passion. For a long time, something about this nagged at me, and I finally got it -- they're like Cobras and Mongooses!

Atoz. Good comparison of the Selay and Anticans with cobras and mongooses. I never though of it like this. Wasn't one of the delegates killed and being prepared to be eaten by the other species?

Yar jumped to that conclusion when the Anticans asked the chef to cook something that they thought looked like the Selay ambassador. But that was never confirmed....

Atoz. I remember this! I do recall one of these 2 species trying to hunt the other.

One time they snared Riker by mistake. "Sorry... wrong species!"

Atoz. Commander Riker did the right thing by calling security on them. they were really getting out of control. I think that both of these species were not even close to being ready to be admitted to the Federation!!!!
