'Violations' sure is an apt title for an episode involving a telepath who's forcibly manipulating the crew's memories (obvious rape metaphor). The one thing I kept thinking about was that scene in "The Undiscovered Country"; Spock violently mind-melds with Valeris. Except that was torture for information when the stakes were high; there was a clear purpose.
Here, it's just something an alien does for kicks. It's needlessly edgy, especially with the manic visions and dramatic camera-work. Why prey on women's fears if you're going to wrap everything up nice and neat in the end and it's all status quo again?
This is a bizarre episode, to say the least.
5/10
