This episode starts with Troi being a Romulan? WTF? Yeah, I know. She is an agent for the Tal Shiar, and that new agency will be beaten into our heads this entire time.

I mention this in my video comments, but Star Trek fans are not brain-dead.. yeah we get that the Romulan SS is called the Tal Shiar. Let’s hear it 22 times in 40 minutes. It’s not a bad episode, I just think the studio got involved (and most executives are clueless). Not all.

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