Intelligence report
Well, Prime Directive stuff, obviously.The joy is that B'Elanna is the one who has to face the dilemma, because she's such a Klingon (I may have mentioned in passing some small admiration for the female of the species) and gets all hyped up on impulse rather than consideration (ie she leaps before she looks). That means she's more likely to get into trouble than your regular Starfleet person.
There's also a small promotion for the Luddites, a rare thing on a program which relies so heavily upon technology and technobabble. Interesting viewing.
Perhaps the robots could've been designed a little more artistically, although that's a minor quibble (rhymes with Tribble). The opening scene entirely from the point of view of the Praelor unit is certainly a very nice piece of directing work.
