Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesDue to a line from Data in reference to the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the Reunification of Ireland in 2024, the episode was originally banned in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, not airing in the usual running order on the BBC. In 2006, it was shown on Sky One (which had assumed the broadcast rights) with the relevant line edited out. It was eventually shown unedited on BBC2 on September 29, 2007 in the after-midnight repeat slot. It has never been shown on RTÉ.
- PatzerThe away team that beams into the terrorists' underground lair to rescue Capt. Picard and Dr. Crusher is led by Cmdr. Riker. With Picard taken hostage by the terrorists, Riker is in effective command of the ship. As such, his position is on the bridge and not heading an away mission. (This point would be made clear in The Best of Both Worlds: Part 1 (1990), when Riker tries to take command of the away mission to rescue Picard from the Borg and Counselor Troi reminds him that his duty is on the bridge.)

Ausgewählte Rezension
Okay episode with strong Gates McFadden performance
The Enterprise crew get caught up in the internal politics of a planet suffering from terrorist activities.
This is a reasonably good episode that tackles a relevant subject in a fairly simplistic way. There are however a number of decent moments for the regular characters, particularly Dr Crusher.
The plot is quite simple with Crusher being kidnapped whilst Picard and the crew work to rescue her and battle terrorists. It starts off with a relatively unremarkable first half, but it gets more compelling later on as they direct their hostilities towards the Enterprise. There is nothing particularly memorable in what is presented on the subject or terrorism, other than that it's bad and this is underpinned by what becomes of Finn. Saying that the Northern Ireland reference does stand out, but more for the fact that it was controversial at the time of production and now because it's looking to be an inaccurate prediction.
Speaking of Finn and the guest characters, they are not particularly memorable for me. I do not think he is written particularly well and feels like a caricature. Devos is slightly better and she has a decent chemistry with Riker.
The main characters have a number of good moments. Dr Crusher holds firm on her ethical beliefs throughout the episode and has plenty of solid screen time. The likes of Data, Geordie, Wesley, Worf, Picard and Riker also make their own contributions to the resolution of the story.
The visuals are fairly good, particularly the action sequences. The sets are okay, but largely forgettable.
Performances of the regular cast members are all good, with Gates McFadden standing out with what I think is her best performance so far. As for the guest stars, Richard Cox does not convince me as a terrorist leader at all, but Kerrie Keane is fairly solid.
For me this one is a 6.5/10 but I round upwards.
