Plot
The Enterprise assists a damaged Romulan vessel but, when Geordi and Ro
attempt to beam back to the Enterprise with some damaged equipment that
needs replacing, they fail to rematerialize and cannot be found by the
sensors. Ro and Geordi are presumed dead, but they have not died. They
discover they are in a cloaked, phased state where they can see and hear the
crew but the crew cannot see or hear them. As they attempt to deal with
their situation they uncover a plot by the Romulans to destroy the Enter-
prise and must find a way to return to normal, if possible, and warn their
fellow crewmembers.

Goofs
- One of things overlooked is an explanation of why Geordi and Ro are able
to breathe or not be able to go through the floors. Oops. There is even a
scene where Geordi's hand goes through a table, but another where a
phased Romulan can sit in a chair that rocks when he gets up.
- When the Romulan is fighting with Ro, and LaForge shoves him through the
bulkhead, we see the Romulan exit the Enterprise facing us right-side up,
but when they show him drifting away into the icy cold of space, he is
facing *away* from us right-side up -- he's facing the wrong way as he's
rotating!
- Also, Riker starts playing the trombone before his lips reach the
mouthpiece.

In-Jokes
- One of the control panels on the Romulan Ship looks somewhat like the
TARDIS control console (DW).
