Story: Face of the Enemy
Written By: Naren Shankar
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Year: 1993
It’s clear I’m no fan of Troi or Troi episodes. I just think she is rather useless most of the time. Now part of that is the writing, but a good chunk of the problem is her acting. I think Sirtis is just not as solid an actor as the rest of the ensemble.
But this episode is great. Troi wakes up on a Romulan ship, but more than that: she IS Romulan. There are a lot of interesting ideas and well-conceived plotlines. I would say this episode is the strongest of all Troi heavy stories, and it gives us a better look into how the Romulans work.
