I really enjoyed this episode, I'm all on board for hijinks and weird costumes on my Trek. The only thing that irked me was the very in your face flash back to the storybook images when every character appeared. That felt sort of dumbed-down, like they didn't expect the viewer to remember the information from five minutes ago. Let the characters naturally reveal that information as they learn it instead, you know? Otherwise a really fun episode, fun performances from the cast getting to ham it up, and some really lovely costume work.
I just re-listened to the TNC podcast episode for “Cost of Living” (S5 E20 - aka “The higher the fewer”) where Andy suggests that Worf should just hold an unruly Alexander in the transporter buffer. SNW finally gives us confirmation of Star Trek’s dirty secret; maybe everyone is so well adjusted because they can just toss their kid into a transporter buffer until they’re ready to deal with them again.
