Not one of TNG's finest moments for sure, however, Ingham and Landor do make good of what they're given. Ingham is a truly versatile and engaging performer.

Rosalyn and I chat on Twitter. She's a great lady. She told me what a dream come true it was for her to work on TNG, as Star Trek - TOS - remains one of her favorites. She said her first day on set felt surreal, as there she was boarding the Enterprise herself. And I always compliment Rosalyn on 'Devil Rides Out' - probably my favorite Christopher Lee horror movie offering next to Lee's many Hammer Dracula classics.

Aye, it is quite amazing that with such weak material we still get some great performances! And very cool that you know Rosalyn Landor! A great performer. Plus, I have a soft spot for everything that Hammer did back in the day... I always admire 'doing more with less', and Hammer had this down to a tee!

Yup, that episode was a mess from top to bottom. Never mind, when you have so many episodes to get through, you can get away with a few duds.

Oh you are too kind! The great thing about these kinds of essays is that even dreadful material can be great fun to work with! 😂
