>ABOUT
The crew takes shore leave on a peaceful and lovely planet, Rubicon III. However, it turns out to be too good to be true when Wesley commits an innocent violation that causes the Edo to want to execute him as death is their "only" punishment.
>TRIVIA
- Director James L. Conway makes his directing debut on TNG in this episode.
- Josh Clark (Joe Carey in ST: Voyager) plays an unnamed tactical officer in this episode. Given the time frames of TNG and VOY, it is possible that this unnamed officer is Carey, assuming a later transfer to Engineering division and departure from the Enterprise prior to 2371.
- The Prime Directive is violated by Picard when he interferes with the Edo's punishment system. This is referenced by Lt. Commander Remmick in the Season 1 episode "Coming of Age".
