I loved this episode, the premise is interesting and the special effects and the lighting are beyond amazing especially Lieutenant Barclays transformation. This is in essence a blockbuster horror movie on a tv budjet and with the material they had to work with I believe they did an amazing job.

The science and the evolutionary branching may not be accurate but the only issue I have is the scene in sickbay, Doctor Beverly Crusher notices something unusual on the side of Lieutenant Worf's mouth and concludes it is a venom sack, she then asks him to open his mouth and gets sprayed in the face. It made me laugh out loud, because as a doctor she was not very professional and should have known better lol.

I do understand the opinions of the other reviewers but I do not share them and for me this was one of the most ambitious and interesting episodes of the 7th season. If they had continued for another season we can only imagine what could have been.
