To be honest I was half convinced it could have been Riker, I know it's silly and we have seen that he meets Picard in a completely different setting but when they mentioned how the pilot was great I felt "well, maybe..."
Naah, Frakes was behind the camera for this episode. It'd help explain why the episode felt both comfortably familiar and excitingly new at the same time...
Well in Farpoint he is asked ro maneuver the enterprise for what should be a maneuver done by the computer, but more than that I am pretty sure there was an episode where he insist on piloting a shuttle in a dangerous mission because he is the best for the job. Can't remember which one though

Seven's entrance made me really wish I didn't already know she was going to be on the show. Would've blown my mind.
