From the Back Cover

After destroying a deadly asteroid in the Pelloris Field, the Enterprise heads toward the Moselina System unaware that a strange particle cloud has contaminated the ship.

En route, Lwaxana Troi (Majel Barrett) beams aboard and announces her plans to marry a man she has never met. Much to her daughter's dismay, she accompanies Worf's son Alexander (Brian Bonsall) to the Holodeck and introduces him to her hedonistic lifestyle.

Meanwhile, the crew finds that the mechanical parts around the ship are being mysteriously transformed into gelatinous material. When the life support systems begin to fail, the crew discovers an alien parasite from the asteroid is causing the problem. As they search for a solution, an even bigger disaster looms on the horizon: Lwaxana and her husband-to-be are completely incompatible!

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the WORST EVER!, November 1, 2002

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 120: Cost Of Living [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm not even going to try and put this gently; ...I don't know who wrote this episode up, but they must have had a severe head injury. ... Oh yeah, the subplot: the Enterprise destroys an asteroid, leading to the ship getting invaded with glitter. If you have ever see this episode before, I feel your pain. If you haven't, stay away and consider yourself extremly lucky.
