7/10
Enjoyable episode with great production values
22 July 2021
Commander La Forge reunites with a friend from a different crew and finds out something disturbing is happening.

This is a reasonably good episode with great visuals and decent character moments for Geordie.

The plot is fairly good with a nice sci-fi concept but does not really generate much tension when you know that in about 20 minutes Geordie will be back to normal.

As an episode focussed on Geordie it is nice to see it stays away from his romantic exploits. He comes across as far more likeable here and has some cool moments figuring things out.

The visuals are excellent with some superb makeup and creature effects. The black lighting and UV scenes work brilliantly. I also love the holographic reconstruction sequence where Geordie is investigating the shadows.

LeVar Burton gives a solid performance as the episode lead and is supported well by the other cast members, particularly Maryann Plunkett.
