Rating: 7/10
Ensign Ro (Michelle Forbes), now a Lieutenant, is back, and I honestly don’t know if this is her second episode or if she has popped up a few times.
At any rate, with director Patrick Stewart, this episode manages to be pretty solid, and certainly better than the last couple.
The plot concerns a group of terrorists that Ro has to lure into a trap, which is pretty interesting, exciting, and honestly pretty different for the show.
The episode is suspenseful at nearly every step, and it features another solid performance from Forbes, who’s wavering between two sides.
