Story: The Enemy
Written By: David Kemper and Michael Piller
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Year: 1989
This is a great episode. Answering a distress call on a planet plagued by electromagnetic storms, they discover a Romulan survivor, but lose Geordi in the midst of it all. Riker and Worf, and the surviving Romulan, are able to beam aboard, but Geordi cannot.
So Geordi ends up alone on the planet, trapped with only one other person: the other surviving Romulan. It is a great story about two men from opposite sides of the enemy lines forced to work together in order to survive.
The B-story involves Worf refusing to give a blood donation to the Romulan on board. I like that the writers stuck to their guns and made Worf stick to his guns. He doesn’t buckle, and I think it really strengthens the character. Romulans killed his parents, Romulans are his enemy. He should refuse the donation.
It is definitely a great tale in the Romulan stories.
