Another classic episode. Decker is a very tragic figure, sympathetic even after taking control of the Enterprise.
The updated visuals looked great.
I also liked the mystery surrounding the "Doomsday Machine.". Where did it come from? Who built it? Are there any more?
"They say there's no devil, Jim, but there is. Right out of hell, I saw it!"

Another "necessity is the mother of invention" thing - the original idea was that of a alien device bristling with all sorts of evil looking weapons.
Budgetary constraints ended up making it a windsock dipped in cement. However, I think that made it a more impressive foe - it was impervious to a direct attack and forced them to come up with a creative solution (just as the prop-makers had to) - this also added to the mystery.

Obviously, Moby Dick is powerful source material for Star Trek - on several occasions, (Obsession, most notably) Kirk displays Ahab-like tendencies - in this episode, Decker does - Windom stated he realized this, but only years after he played the part. At the time, he felt as though he was acting in a cartoon, but, upon reflection, realized he was Captain Ahab in this episode.

Wonder if that gave them the original idea for the Borg, a weapon or intelligence from somewhere else we had no clue about and couldn't touch
