One side feels its profoundly silly, the other feel it's a great break from the usual fare; in addition, it allows Picard to indulge in his first love: archeology. Behind the scenes the same thing holds true, much of the cast and writers room felt like it was all over the place tonally and was difficult to film, while Creator/RonaldDMoore has defended it for having more layers to the premise than people give it credit.

* NarmCharm: The episode is one of the most absurd ones of the show, and even Brent Spiner admits his performance is all over the place (he went from "Thine Own Self" to this episode and had almost zero time to prepare for the half-dozen characters he had to play). But there is something very ''Star Trek'' about the characters trying to decipher the alien mythology and the absurdity of the premise created some rather creative set and prop designs, with a climax where Data is cackling in the persona of a God while Picard is [[TheComicallySerious stoically acting in the role of a rival god]].

* ValuesDissonance: Upon discovering the first alien artifact in her quarters, Troi is pleasantly intrigued by the idea that it was left there as a present by a secret admirer. Today, a stranger breaking into your home to deposit a cryptic present would be recognized as creepy at best and stalking at worst.
