The Romulans are up to no good and Geordi gets stranded on Galorndon Core near the Neutral Zone. His VISOR isn’t working and he gets an aggressive visitor.

This is the first time Picard has to test his brinksmanship against the Romulan Commander Tomalak. Some of the stuff Geordi has to do to save himself are pretty awesome.

I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to.
