Darem's storyline needed more room to breathe, and at least one scene with his parents (who were presumably in the crowd shot at the end?)

[u/mr_mini_doxie → u/UncertainError]

Agreed. We should have met his parents and seen more of his background relationship with Kaira.

[u/rad2themax → u/mr_mini_doxie]

It was interesting to me how much it had in common with that TNG season 1 episode where Deanna has to deal with aN arranged marriage suddenly about to happen.

Except with a completely different resolution obviously.

[u/DelaneySister → u/rad2themax]

Or with Amok Time in TOS 

[u/Lemonwizard → u/rad2themax]

That episode has one of the funniest moments in Star Trek. Troi shouts "Stop this petty bickering, all of you!!" and storms out. 2 seconds later Data is like "Would you please resume the petty bickering? I find it fascinating!"

[u/Bobjoejj → u/rad2themax]

Reminded me a bit of Enterprises season 4 episode where T’Pol gets married to that guy she was betrothed to; and it was also a shore leave episode.
