This episode is a favorite of mine. Geordi, while distracted on a shuttlecraft heading for Riza, the pleasure planet, is beamed aboard a Romulan ship. The Romulan's purpose is to destroy that relationship between the Klingons and the Federation. Geordi is, for all practical purposes, brainwashed. He is led through simulations where he is to kill his own crew mates, including Chief O'Brien. The joy of the episode has to do with some strange goings on on the ship and the suspicion that the young engineer may be damaged in some way. We never quite understand what the Romulans are capable of. We are led to believe that their goal is intergalactic conquest and they are really good at it. I do have one question. Why do they all wear those outfits that look like quilts with the hangers left in them? Just wondering.
