Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Troi's command choice in 'Thine Own Self'—ordering Geordi into lethal radiation—echoes Worf's experience of being stripped of control and forced to question his perceptions in 'Parallels.' Both scenes force a moment of moral nakedness."
