Star Trek: The Next Generation : How can this be?

How can this be?

Just watching an episode I've never sen before 'The Vengeance Factor'. I switched on the SyFy channel and didn't recognise any of the action.

Well it's a shock because I thought I'd seen them all - this must have slipped through somehow. Perhaps there's an episode of TOS I've never seen although I feel this is impossible

Re: How can this be?

Good episode except for Riker trying too hard to hit it with that chick by repeating "partha a la Uta"
I wanted to reach in and ping him on the forehead and tell him that it wasn't working.🙄
But I liked it otherwise.

Re: How can this be?

Well it just seemed to be full of hairy men wearing leather shouting at each other. But actually the story became quite interesting although I don't understand why Riker had to vapourise that poor girl at the end.

Surely she could have been restrained or just knocked out with a heavy punch. It didn't make any sense.

I possibly started the episode decades ago but may have turned it off thinking it boring

Re: How can this be?

You know Ewaf I saw that episode not too long ago and it indeed seemed to be a bit over the top incinerating her.

Re: How can this be?

Well apparently she was carrying a deadly virus and was immortal - but obviously a phaser put an end to her immortality.

They could have beamed her up to a holding zone. Didn't make much sense except to over dramatize Rikers split feelings for her.

A little bit like the salt monster from TOS - McCoy's lover.

I don't think they can transport that fast especially without already having a lock. All she needed to do was touch to kill him.

Re: How can this be?

Trip her up

Re: How can this be?

Riker was in the right. Vaporizer.

Re: How can this be?

You got it, RC. Didn't he try shooting her a couple times and she kept coming after the guy anyway?

Re: How can this be?

No Parthas a la Yuta for you CJ.

Re: How can this be?

If I knew what you were talking about, I might agree.

Re: How can this be?

In the episode, the cute blond chick makes dinner for Riker, it's a plant from her planet,called "partha".
So he acts like he thinks the meal is so delicious, cuz he wants in her pants, so he names the dish "partha a la Uta"
Uta is the chick's name.
Anyway he keeps saying that stupid phrase like way too many times.
The chick, who by the way is like 200 years old in the end any way, she thinks he is a retard.
She didn't want to have sex with him unless her boss was going to make her.
And he needed to stop with the stupid "partha a la Uta"
It was really annoying!

I read it, and it's a great help, Nak. Thanks. Now it's all coming back to me.

Re: How can this be?

Whew!😅
I'd have been pizzed off if I did all of that typing for nothing.
My phone kept correcting "partha a la Uta" too.
