Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The Enterprise hosts a group of dignitaries who are bidding for the rights to a wormhole discovered by the Barzan. If the wormhole is stable, it would provide an invaluable shortcut through the galaxy.

When the Federation's delegate is taken ill, Riker (Jonathan Frakes) replaces him. Troi (Marina Sirtis) is immediately attracted to the Chrysalian delegate, Devinoni Rai (Matt McCoy), an eminently successful-and ruthless-negotiator.

As the bidding war grows, so does the romance between Troi and Devinoni. But Devinoni hides a dangerous secret: he is part Betazoid. Now Devinoni is using his empathic powers to manipulate the negotiations and Troi-and he's determined to win both.

5.0 out of 5 stars funny, sexy and different, January 16, 2002

By 

Michael Hagnauer (Des Moines, Iowa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 56: The Price [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This story has everything: Action, Comedy, private revelations of few crew members, and not to forget sensual romance starring Counselor Troi!
Story: VIP's of the Planet Barzan II have located a wormhole close to the planet. It seems to be stable and to lead to the Gamma-Quadrant. Because insuffisant money and exploration funds, they sell the travel rights to a third-party member. Different Delegations meets aboard the Enterprise, and the sellers will sell to the people, that gives that what the Barzan-people needs. (Whatever it is). Ferengis are present too, and during the whole episode, they're trying to come to their goal with insane methods. (poisoning, destroying,...) They make a big part of the fun of this episode.
Another delegate is Devinoni Ral, a human working for another planet. Already at his second meeting with Deanna Troi, he's showing extremely direct to her, that he is very interested to eat lunch with her. Very fast, both stays together during night in the Counselors room...
At the same time, Geordi and Data runs a wormhole-race with the ferengis. Of course, the Ferengis are not thinking about cooperation, and they'll see that this is a big foult...
Deanna has now figure it out that Devinoni is a little bit Betazoid, and that he knows what the other delegates thinks. This gives him many opportunities, what angries Troi...

This is only a few of the many things, that happen in this episode. I recommand it to every fan of Star Trek, Counselor Troi, and comedy!
