The problem with this episode is that it feels rushed. The setup is good, but they don’t have the time to sell the conclusion. Imagine if any of the two part stories in the series were single episodes. I also think that sometimes leaving a mystery unsolved or still with questions is better than outright answering it.
I agree that the concept that important deserved a little more setup. Really it would have been good to sprinkle buildup and clues throughout a whole season for a better payoff.

Unfortunately they just wouldn’t take that kind of risk with TNG or Voyager so the closest we got was the dominion war build up in DS9.
