So Much Potential; So Badly Done
1 December 2012
It stinks that an episode with this much promise would be so poorly executed.

In "Eye of the Beholder", an officer commits suicide, forcing Deanna and Worf to investigate his death. This ultimately leads to their romance, one of the better, late story-lines of the series.

Unfortunately, it's hard to decide what's more annoying - the poor acting of the officer's fiancée (who apparently called it quits after '00, mercifully) or the clunky dialogue, surprisingly written by series wunderkind Rene Echevarria. Deanna and Worf's first love scene in particular seems to come out of left field, and ruins what would otherwise be a great one, with its intriguing plot and en medea res opening. A great story that ultimately goes to waste. Big disappointment.
