I enjoyed watching Sirtis peformance as the Tal Shiar agent in this episode. I feel like Sirtis is nothing like Troi in real life and probably leans more towards a Tal Shiar agent and it showed in this episode. She was excellent! Not to say she's a bad actress ---- she's completely fine.
The best part of this episode was the glorious performance of Commander Toreth as the prickly british Commander. She was just great throughout this episode and it was a nice touch to make her a bit of a dissedent/rebel against the Romulan Military structure in an episode about transporting a high level Romulan Political dissident. They give the Romulan's a bit of a layering here and that's something that has not been explored in depth since the original series.
When you think over the premise of the episode ---- it's just crazy. It's crazy but it works! I admire crazy idea and creativity is a cornerstone of the franchise.
The interior of the Romulan ship looked very TOS and I got a real kick out of that. Overall, quite a good episode.
