Enterprise</I> is travelling to the Morgana Quadrant when a mysterious hole in space swallows the vessel. The phenomenon has no dimensions and is absent of all energy and matter except for an abandoned starship, adrift in the void. Commander Riker and Lieutenant Worf investigate the ship, only to be confounded by a series of inexplicable incidents. After the two officers return to the <I>Enterprise</I>, an enormous human eye appears on the bridge viewscreen, as a being called Nagilum peers into the ship. Nagilum informs Captain Picard that he is conducting an experiment into human life; he now wishes to use the crew of the <I>Enterprise</I> as human guinea pigs to study the many ways in which human beings can die... <BR><BR> Patrick Stewart (<B>Captain Jean-Luc Picard</B>), Jonathan Frakes (<B>William Riker</B>), LeVar Burton (<B>Chief Engineer Lieutenant Geordi La Forge</B>), Michael Dorn (<B>Security Chief Lieutenant Worf</B>), Marina Sirtis (<B>Councelor Deanna Troi</B>), Brent Spiner (<B>Lieutenant Commander Data</B>), Wil Wheaton (<B>Wesley Crusher</B>), Diana Muldaur (<B>Doctor [Commander] Katherine  Kate Pulaski</B>), Earl Boen (<B>Nagilum</B>), Charles Douglas (<B>Ensign Haskell</B>), Colm Meaney (<B>Transporter Chief</B>) <BR><BR><B>Directed by Winrich Kolbe <BR>Produced by Burton Armus, John Mason and Mike Gray <BR>Executive Producer Gene Roddenberry </B> <BR><BR><B>TX:</B> <FONT COLOR="#99CCFF" SIZE="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans"> <BR>28th November, 1988 <BR><BR><B>Notes:</B> <BR>*Featuring Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Thomas Riker, Chief Engineer Lieutenant Geordi La Forge, Security Chief Lieutenant Worf, Councelor Deanna Troi, Lieutenant Commander Data, Doctor [Commander] Katherine  Kate Pulaski, Transporter Chief Miles O Brien and Wesley Crusher <BR><BR><BR> </BODY> </HTML>
