I like the episode, but I kinda got annoyed at some of the crew here — particularly Riker and Worf. As they are put through their paces by their tormentor they act as if something like this has never happened before. Hello? Have they ever watched Star Trek before? Being in the grip of an unknown superior force happens once every three episodes! Riker is all like “What the HELL is going on!?” And Worf practically has a conniption fit! “This makes no sense! This isn’t supposed to be happening. Waaaaaah!” I gotta say, Worf can be a little whiny some times. Anyway, it is a pretty cool episode, even if the crew tries to sell it a little too hard.
