Preemptive Strike, TNG 7
Starfeet’s favorite duffel bag full of damaged goods, Ro Laren, is back in town. Picard is beaming that his protoge is in some sort of special ops program. She is sent to infiltrate the Maquis and, wouldn’t ya know it, winds up joining forces with them.
Michelle Forbes, better known to the kids as Admiral Cain on Battlestar Galactica, is really a terrific actor. She has this amazing ability to appear both really strong and yet somehow unsure of herself at the same time. It’s kind’ve in the way she holds her neck. Hard to describe – you have to trust me. Anyway, this is fantastic stuff.
