Text of the article referring to "Sub Rosa"-

    In "Sub Rosa," Dr. Crusher buries her grandmother on Caldos Colony, a community modeled after a village in the Scottish highlands. There she encounters Ronin, the mysterious, lantern-jawed ghost/alien her granny wrote so breathlessly of. Born in 1647 in Glasgow, Ronin (Duncan Regehr) has been pleasuring Howard women for generations and now he wants Dr. Crusher. Part The Haunting and part Wuthering Heights, "Sub Rosa" is certainly not standard Trek fair (sic), but it does indicate the producers' new-found willingness to take chances.

    "I was quite surprised when I saw it," said McFadden. "I thought 'Oh my goodness, what is this poor woman's history? She's lucky she came out alive.' But once I got past that, and just threw myself into the story, I had a great time. Jeri Taylor was very specific in the way she wrote the story that it was high romance. That was clear from the wardrobe on down. I played half of it barefoot in a nightgown for heaven's sakes."
