| Review : |
Right, following on from where I have just left off, this part was about Worf's time with his people as much as the hunt for the Romulan gun-runners. Worf really did not seem at home as a Klingon and I don't blame him. He still seems to have quite a time of it. On the Starfleet side, it was all about confrontations of one sort or another. Data as acting-captain of the Sutherland with his first officer, and Picard with Sela. With the first, you almost saw Data lose his temper at one point, but that could simply be emphasis. In the end, he made the right call at the right moment. Incidentally, it's odd that the Sutherland's bridge seems to be in the main computer core. As for Sela, I liked her as soon as she appeared. There are issues there with her, her mother, Humanity in general and Picard in particular. She kept coming back, only to be frustrated by the man she blames for putting her mother there in the first place. It's only a pity she wasn't in command of the Valdore in "Nemesis", that would have been a great resolution to the story. Overall, the plot knitted together well, and the tension kept going throughout. At one point, I really believed that it might go the wrong way after all. They maintained the quality through both episodes, and it worked. |
