Summary
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "The Enemy," the Enterprise answers a distress call from an unidentified ship at Galorndon Core. Turns out the ship was Romulan, and the one Romulan survivor is not doing well. More Romulans are on the way to pick him up - even if they have to cross the Neutral Zone to get him. Well, him and that other Romulan Geordi found. In short, there are many Romulans. But are they all bad?
Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray
