Quotes
Lieutenant Worf: I am asked to give up the very lifeblood of my mother and my father to those who murdered them!
Commander William T. Riker: So you blame all Romulans for that?
Lieutenant Worf: Yes!
Commander William T. Riker: Forever? What if someday, the Federation made peace with the Romulans?
Lieutenant Worf: Impossible.
Commander William T. Riker: That's what your people said a few years ago, about Humans. Think how many died on both sides in that war. Would you and I be here now like this, if we hadn't been able to let go of the anger and the blame? Where does it end, Worf? If that Romulan dies... does his family carry the bitterness on another generation?

Stray Romulans

The Enterprise answers a distress call from a planet that has electrical storms all the time. The planet is in Federation space and it's a Romulan shuttle that crashed there.

An away team rescues a badly injured Romulan. But LeVar Burton is left behind with another Romulan and the only way they'll get off the planet is to work together. Not easy for the Romulans to do with humans.

A bit off futuristic brinkmanship is indulged in by Patrick Stewart and the Romulan captain Andreas Katsulas.

Picard not a man to play poker with.
