#TheVengeanceFactor

Antigone | Jean Anouilh

TNG 3.09 #TheVengeanceFactor I like this episode, despite it trying to convince us Riker is irresistible to women. The plot would have worked better without the romance being forced in it. A story of mystery and multi-generational vendetta that unfolds logically into (Greek) tragedy. It's basically an Antigone retelling in the future. Therefore, I tagged my favourite retelling by Jean Anhouil.

Megabooks Nice! I haven‘t read Antigone itself since high school, but I‘m sure I‘ve read and watched countless retellings without consciously realizing it. I‘m the worst at picking out retellings! 6y
RamsFan1963 Yes Riker's "romance" with Yuta was the worst part of this episode. I'm glad they married Riker to Troi later in the movies and books, he was getting too old for that tomcat behavior. 6y
Karisa I had forgotten about this episode! They were always trying to force the romance on Riker. Maybe a tribute to Kirk? 🤣 6y

tournevis @Karisa Except Kirk mostly used his masculine wilds for getting out of bad situations or was placed in situations where his consent was dubious as best. Honestly, look at the episodes again, his reputation as a womanizer is not supported by canon. Riker on the other hand... 6y
tournevis @Megabooks Kind of my job to up on those things. There's no merit. 6y

#MayMovieMagic From my #TBR and an Oprah Bookclub Choice. After 30 years of waiting on Death Row Anthony Hinton was finally #vindicated and set free. The tagged book is his heart searing memoir. You‘d think #TheVengeanceFactor would have tainted Anthony Ray‘s soul but he found a way to make peace with his situation and offer comfort to others. #StarTrekSummerMay

Megabooks I want to read this as well. It would also fill a spot for the ST episode “Redemption” if I had chosen that! 6y

Well, #TheVengeanceFactor is a mediocre episode I hate to love. I don‘t care to admit how many times I‘ve watched it. 😏

But if you want to talk vengeance in books, Confessions is one of my favorites. I‘ve read it twice, and the twists are quite interesting. It made me want to read more Japanese books in translation, which I have started to do!

#StarTrekSummerMay look for June this weekend!
