Featured review
Don't Go Into the Neutral Zone With Anyone Else But Me!
Geordi finds himself in a deep hole as he wanders during a planetary storm. The rest of his team has to return to the ship and leave him behind. The others have found an injured Romulan and have brought him to sick bay. The Romulans, liars that they are, have invaded the neutral zone and are doing all kinds of posturing. Picard is afraid that if the guy dies, it will set up reason for the Romulans to go to war with the Federation. Meanwhile, Geordi gets out of his predicament and is exploring to find a way to contact the Enterprise. He is struck on the back of his head by another Romulan who is ill. When LaForge awakens, he can't reason with his captor. This race is dedicated to war and conquest and to cotton to Geordi's wishes would be seen as weakness. Unfortunately, the storm that has caused so much misery is a symptom of a kind of radiation on the planet that is making the Romulan sick and disorienting Geordi. On board, there is a kind of brinkmanship going on as Picard tries to reason with his adversaries while trying to figure out what is up with his engineer. Also, there is an issue with Worf. His mother and father, who were killed by Romulans, are constantly in his mind. Crusher realizes that the only thing that will save their "guest"s life would be a transfusion from Worf. This puts him a in serious moral dilemma. There is a scene where he is called in front of Picard. It's obvious he will give the blood if Picard orders it. Picard simply dismisses him. This is really a well done episode.
