So we have this dude in super terrible prosthetics who is like in his mid 20s pretending to be 100 and it takes you out of the episode right away. I mean, these are really embarrassing prosthetics. I'm guessing the make up dude responsible for them was just dumped by his significant other and was just phoning it in that week. It's bad. And they forgot to do the actor's hands, so he has the hands of a 20 something.

You can guess where this goes, young actor pretending to be old magically Benjamin Buttons and there's an unnecessarily  complicated and inconsistent plot to move this along. His name is Jameson, which is a respectable whiskey, so there's one positive thing about this episode. Also at first I think he has a trophy wife who's decades younger but then this Jameson fellow ends up being the trophy husband, so that's gotta be a weird social dynamic we don't get into.

Appartently you get promoted for arms dealing in Starfleet, because Jameson gave them out like candy to this one planet and now that planet's leader wants revenge! But no one wants to know where the hell Jameson got this youth serum from? I warned you, this plot makes as much sense as Picard getting hair extensions.

Also, our station manager Chewbie attempts to get a raise via chemical warfare.

Featuring: Space Burt Gummer from Tremors! Terrible prosthetics! Picard having to deal with a high maintenance Admiral! Arms dealing sanctioned by Starfleet! Imaginary hostages! Tasha Yar being the only g-d person to actually make a shot! Troi feeling things! A very confused (trophy?) wife!
