Why The Devil Due

[Photon]

Why? Make that Devil's Due...............

 

[JB2005]

Because!

But seriously folks:

It's called the Devil's Due because Ardra is supposedly the Devil and has come to collect on what the people of the planet owe her...

The meaning is double-fold:

The Devil is Due - meaning the Devil is expected

or

The Devil's Due, what the Devil is owed [due]

Ever dance with the Devil, in the pale moonlight?

I rather enjoyed this episode, stands up to repeat viewing as far as I'm concerned, a pretty solid Season 4 episode and one of the few Phase II rewrites that I think actually worked with the TNG crew!

And an awful thread...

@ Photon: Any particular reason? You bring a new meaning to the term "brevity"

The whole faux-magic stuff from the hot demon just seemed like fluff.

One of the few Phase II rewrites that you think actually worked with the TNG crew? Which other Phase II rewrites constitute the rest of the few that worked?

 

[JB2005]

I'd like to redefine my position:

The only Phase II rewrite that worked!

 

[davejames]

I know The Child was another Phase II one, but not sure of the others.

 

[JB2005]

Angel One was based on a Phase II...I thought there was at least one more, but I can't think right now! To Google!

 

[MacLeod]

It was an enjoyable enough episode. Not the best of Season 4 but by no means the worse

You say that like that is a bad thing. A little fluff now and then can be fun...and that's exactly what this episode is. I can see why others might not like it, though.
