Dark Reality 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Decent episode, nothing special about it. Just wanted to point out that at the end (it's not a spoiler, trust me) we actually SEE the Sonic Shower in action. They may have already done this on DS9, but I'm pretty sure it was never shown in Next Generation. Since television tends to have a no-bathroom policy (many shows don't have bathrooms at all, have you ever seen one in Star Trek?), I'm not surprised. We see the dirt or whatever pulled from Torres and it kinda goes up in a spiral. I always assumed they'd simply "lock on" to the dirt/grease and "beam" it off you, out into space. Kinda like what the Malon (sp?) do but dirt/grease doesn't have Theta radiation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sea trooper 0 Posted February 5, 2006 An alright episode. The Malon were never really a favorite species, but they had a good story. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen of Borg 2 Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) 3. What makes this episode stand out is that it shows that the Malon aren't all bad. It kind of reminds me of the old stories about how airplane pilots used to think Gremlins sabotaged their planes, like on the Shatner Twilight Zone episode. I'm sure that had some inspiration for the story. Like others have said, the Malon just aren't that interesting. I'd say it's okay and that's why I give it a 3 out of 5-average Edited August 10, 2009 by Stephen of Borg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
