I thought she was more chesty than gorgeous, but I guess its all about where one's eyes focus.
Maybe I'm biased by falling for her back in her "Tales of the Gold Monkey" days. She was just plain sexy.

I liked this episode alot too. And still enjoy watching it from time to time. I have to say I don't believe I've heard anyone talk negatively about it, although I suppose you can always find something wrong with anything you look at.
Oh, and a little off topic, but whats a comeuppance? I know the general idea by saying someone is about to receive it, but I don't think I've ever heard what the word itself actually is.

According to that source, it's highest since the pilot - which is correct - and not aside from the pilot.
Maybe my brain isn't working on all thrusters, but I'm not quite seeing the distinction.
Hey it's a fair question. What it means, I guess, is that the villain gets what they deserve.. but I also extrapolate it by saying that they get not only what they deserve, but how they get it as well.
In this case, if they somehow just killed Ardra, well that would be a dissapointing.
Instead, Picard gave her what she deserved by disecting her whole scheme with her watching, revealing her as a fraud to everyone, and then using her own scheme against her.
She is far more deserving of all of that than if they were to simply get rid of her.
So, when a villain gets their comeuppance, they are basically getting their just desserts for even trying to implement their nefarious plot!
I enjoyed this episode but haven't watched it for a while. From what I remember I think it would have been a stand-out episode in season one, but it does suffer slightly given the general standard of season four.
Having said that there are much bigger clunkers in season four. "The Loss". **cough**

"Devil's Due" and "Half a Life" were about the same to me quality-wise. Middle-of-the-road eps that I don't mind playing in the background. I actually enjoyed "The Loss" because I like seemingly mysterious concepts like two-dimensional beings. But then again, I was never impressed by Marina Sirtis' acting abilities.
"Devil's Due" can be fun if you're in the right frame of mind, but is otherwise a subpar outing. It's silly and preposterous. Which, of course, can be fun. But it's so silly and so preposterous that, unless you're in the mood, it easily becomes a laughable (as opposed to humorous) affair.
Yep. The other Phase II story that made it TNG was the second season episode The Child.
Don't take it personal-like. I was merely focused on the Borg Queens question at that moment.
Actually come to think of it I rather liked Devil's Due. Adra was kinda sexy as the 'devil' and I liked the fact that she got her come uppance. It was a nice little variation with a little mystery, that though it was a tad obvious it sorta reminded me of an old TOS episode.
Yes I know it was slotted for Phase II but I liked the TNG adaptation. Believe me there are worst episodes IMO.

Ha ha!
Sorry, I wasn't taking it personally, It was a genuine query! I should have been a little clearer as my post does come across a bit whiney.
Cheers.
