REVIEW 2022
19 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Krios and Valt Minor have been at war for over a century now but they have agreed to a ceremony of reconciliation to be held onboard the Enterprise. Captain Picard accepts a mysterious cargo to be transported on behalf of Ambassador Briam. But now we have a couple of Ferengi who have sent out a distress call. When their ship explodes, the Captain has no choice but to transport them to the Enterprise... oh oh, Ferengi... Mysterious Cargo... We already know they're up to no good... but what of this mysterious cargo?

I am surprised that the Captain didn't make stricter enquiries about the cargo before he allowed it to be beamed aboard.

I predict a love story. Possibly one of the oldest, most predictable love stories every written.

A beautiful woman fought over by two brothers. War resulting from that conflict.

Already Riker is staking his claim. Personally, I think he should have been kicked out of Star Trek after the 'The Outcast' incident. I just hope that no other crew member will attempt to put their toe in the water.

If a face could launch a thousand ships. I got fed-up with this episode half way through... apart from the trill spots down her back and the fact that she is beautiful, there was nothing else to this story to hold my attention. The character of Kamala appears to be everything to all man. A bit of a floozie with the miners, and also with Worf.

I could never work out why the producers allowed so many 'soap-opera' like stories. Was this a vein attempt to cater for the female audience? Were they trying to emulate other tv shows that were popular at the time? It should be remembered that the original series also included love-centred stories.

For me, there was nothing of interest here. Indeed, it was very cringe-worthy. I just cannot see the point.

This also reminds me of the Red Dwarf episode; Camille.

This Episodes Clue: Dumah.
