I don’t know what this one’s about!

Oh man, four characters stood around O’Brien, and nobody spoke to him! Poor O’Brien, he doesn’t even have his name yet!
* * *
It’s Riva! I remember Riva. He’s a deaf-mute mediator and speaks through his chorus: the scholar/artist, the lover/warrior, and the harmony/balance.
* * *
Man, Riva is super rude for some kind of super mediator. And he’s macking on Troi super hard. And yes, I’ve used “super” three times. Deal with it.

Pulaski! I totally didn’t miss you in the last episode where you didn’t show up at all :P

This was pretty good! Riva and his chorus are pretty awesome characters, even if three-quarters of them get horribly killed halfway through the episode. Riva is quite skeevy, though, and I wish people would stop hitting on Troi so overtly.
Data learning five forms of sign language in like five minutes reminds us all what a fantastic thing it is to have an android on the team.
We also get the first inkling of how much pain La Forge is in thanks to his VISOR when he goes to see Pulaski (who still somehow managed to be pretty bigoted about the whole thing; but maybe I’m just so annoyed by her that even the benign stuff seems like she hates people who rely on technology).
Fashion Watch: Riva and his chorus are not dressed like weird future fetish people! Yay!
