Customer Reviews of Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 161: Force of Nature
Keep the universe alive, keep to warp drive five! The Enterprise is searching the Hekaras Corridor for a Starfleet medical transport, the Flemming, that has been missing for several days. The Hekaras Corridor was created because this sector of space has high concentrations of tetrio particles, which make warp drive dangerous. When the Enterprise encounters a debris field they are hit by a verteron pulse that kills both the warp drive and subspace communication. At that point a small space craft approaches carrying two Hekaran scientists, Roval and Sarova, a brother and sister. They explain to Picard and his crew that they planted the verteron device because all the use of warp drive in the corridor has weakened the fabric of space. The scientists believe this will endanger their planet, so they have been disabling ships trying to force Starfleet to investigate.
Apparently there are not a lot of ecological concerns in space, because while the Star Trek universe has always been a platform for talking about the social problems of the world in which its viewers live, this is one of the few times they get to lecture about the environment. "Force of Nature" ends by establishing a restriction from Starfleet that ships can only go warp five (except in cases of extreme emergency, and you know how often that happens). This is an average STNG episode; I admit I have trouble getting by the idea that warp drive is ripping apart the universe and nobody has noticed before this. The subplot of Data and Spot also rings a bit hollow.
The warp engines prove to be harmful to the universe!
An average story about Warp engines and how they can damage the universe! After investigating a Ferengi ship adrift in space, the ship is soon disabled by two aliens who board the Enterprise in an effort to convince the Federation that warp drive is harmful to the universe.
