TNG Episode 9 - The Battle

Despite the presence of Ferengi, nothing interesting to report aside from the typically trite lesson at the end "revenge isn't profitable." The Ferengi obviously say this with a different meaning than Picard does, but they at least agree on something.

After further thought, I've decided that revenge likely is not profitable in most cases. If our system is indeed capatilist, and driven by profit as many people suggest, then why do such acts happen at all? Clearly, explaining away centuries of culture and society by an economic system is bad idea.

Also, I'd like to know how how the USS Stargazer, if it was damaged so badly that they had to abandon ship, how is it the not only the life support system, but the engines seem to be working just fine (fine enough to perform the Picard Maneuver which involves warp speed). How I wish I could have been a staff writer this series and point these errors out.
