    Loved the episode. Did I understand correctly that the Betazoids were travelling from planet to planet to find a cure for this rampant emotional telepathic event?

    Does that mean T’Lyns powers extended that far?

    Or were they secretly hunting for the alien ship? I got a little bit lost with the fast dialog.

    On a random note, funny how in ten forward the two guys making out kept inserting themselves in almost every scene.

      They were looking for clues to the attacks on the ships, playing the part of party girls to get in places they probably normally wouldn’t be able to. They went full into it when they got near T’Lyn

      I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one who got that mixed up. I had to rewatch the bridge scene to understand they were tracking the ship, and not some psychic outbreak of heightened emotions.

      Also, I just now looked ahead. Is the next title really a Garth Marenghi reference? Because that’s amazing.

        It’s can’t be anything else, surely! I kinda want that ep to have a character that can’t act.
