Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the first time Majel Barrett received credit for voicing the Enterprise-D's computer.
- GoofsThe computer tells Geordi that Risa is "climate controlled for optimum tourist comfort." As Risa hosts multiple species this would be impossible. For example, Vulcans would consider the comfort zone for humans to be quite cold, while Andorians would find it too hot.
- Quotes
Ambassador Kell: There are some members of the High Council who would thank you, Worf.
Lieutenant Worf: Thank me?
Ambassador Kell: For killing Duras. No doubt that had he lived one day he would ascend to head the Council. Many were not looking forward to that.
Lieutenant Worf: My motives were personal, not political.
Ambassador Kell: Motives? Who cares for motives? Humans, perhaps. What matters is you acted on that day as a true Klingon.

Commander La Forge is kidnapped and brainwashed by the Romulans to be a sleeper agent.
This is a strong episode with some fairly decent suspense and character moments.
The plot, as everyone says, is homage to 'The Manchurian Candidate' and it is applied well to the Star Trek universe using the Romulans as antagonists.
Geordie is the main focus of the episode and his scenes and role within the plot are some of the best for his character in TNG. Other characters such as Captain Picard, Lieutenant Worf and Lieutenant Data also make great contributions.
This is another strong Romulan episode which continues their development into a solid villain capable of doing damage. The stakes are fairly plausible and this helps create suspense. It's not the lives of the main characters in jeopardy, but the Klingon/Federation alliance.
Visually it is one of the best episodes so far in the series, with some great cinematography, editing and art design. I particularly enjoyed the shots of Geordie walking through the Enterprise corridors like an assassin on a mission. Scenes like this and others generate the required creepiness for the story.
LeVar Burton, Brent Spiner, Patrick Stewart and Michael Dorn are all on great form.
