 Fri Mar 08, 2002 7:44 am [EPISODE] Where Silence Has Lease |
|
While en route to the Morgana Quadrant, the U.S.S. Enterprise is engulfed by a mysterious 'hole' having no dimensions and void of all energy and matter. Captain Picard is perplexed by this mysterious oddity which cannot be measured or defined in human terms, and the crew is caught in a trap which, by their standards, does not even exist. Unable to escape from the powerful hole, Riker and Worf decide to investigate an abandoned starship also marooned in the trap. On board the ship, the officers are confounded by a series of inexplicable incidents, but return safely to the Enterprise. The crew is then confronted by a giant human eye which peers in at them through the main view screen. The being, calling Itself Nagilum, explains that he is using the Enterprise in an experiment to study human life -- specifically, the many ways in which humans die. Wishing to observe death in all of its forms, Nagilum plans to use one-third to one-half of the crew as human guinea pigs.
I thought this was a bit strange episode because of the quick ending maby they should have made it for 2 parts bcaus it was quite an intresting story

We JUST had that one shown here too. Weird (or do you get BBC on satellite/cable?)
I can't say I thought it deserved to be longer. I thought it just filled the hour nicely.
I also loved the time honoured tradition of giving aliens backward names: we had Nagilum in this one (Muligan) and Grebnedlog (Goldenberg) was a Pakled in Samaritan Snare. Does anyone know of any others?

It's from the second season. Which guide are you using?
