They would never think to make an episode like this anymore. Another example is Darmok. That episode is about 2 people learning to communicate and work together. There are so many quiet scenes and episodes in TNG that didn't need space battles or effects. This series gets more impressive and profound as the years go by

Probably one of the greatest callbacks. It'd hard to imagine the melancholy, the memories he associates to that music, and what it represents. Kinda hoped there'd be a spot in a museum on Earth somewhere, where a copy of the music, both written and recorded, as well as a duplicate of the flute, and a record of all that Picard could remember of that civilization is. So they were never forgotten.

Picard's flute theme is 100% original, made specifically for the episode "inner light" (S05E25). it was composed by Jay Chattaway (a composer for film and television scores including frequent work for TNG, DS9, VOY and Enterprise) for the episode and was rearranged for a full orchestra for the 30th anniversary. The flute arrangement for Inner Light remains his most popular single piece.
@@WirzWorld What's always been funny to me is that this duet during the episode differed from the original piece and the orchestrated version in a few ways. I think I actually heard this duet version first, and I've always loved the harmony from the piano. This one always felt a bit brighter and happier to me than the original.

I"m with Richard on this one. The haunting pseudo-Celtic style of the piece makes it "work its magic" in the junction, but the TRUE power behind that musical magic was the legacy, the experiential nature, of the emotion behind it. It's why most of us that hear this tune or watch its episode sob on command. THE scene, beyond this actual performance, in "Lessons" that makes me cry follows this scene by a few minutes. It's when the Captain "apologizes" to Nella for appearing to blow her off in the turbolift. In his apology, he reveals his true gratitude for his experience on Kataan, and how wonderful it finally felt for him to SHARE that with someone on such a level. I had a somewhat similar experience in how I met my own wife, so I knew EXACTLY where Picard was coming from. Very well written and well executed scene on Stewart's part. It's a bit sad that the rest of the episode (outside the shared music etc) was so ordinary. The scene in his quarters makes me cry everytime.

When he plays that flute, he goes back to that life. It is a part of him now and it will never leave him. That is why it is a very moving and emotional melody to me. It almost brings back my Soul to where I was before this life. I can't grasp it or remember it, but I know it's there. I am very happy he shared it with us. :D

The next generation is by far the climax of Star Trek....and story telling. The first time I watched the inner light episode I was so taken back. Could you imagine living a whole life then brought back to reality that it was real and all those moments are now haunting you for the rest of your life....then you get captured by the Borg. Resistance is futile

I remember this from the series, I thought it was most beautiful then and I still do. They found a place, a blanket fort or a tree bowl, whatever you want to call it, where they could be totally honest and unguarded and then they were! It the kind of situation that comes up in First Love and makes it the most special of all.

Still to this day I notice little things in Star Trek that I haven't noticed the the rewatches before. Like the piano stopping before the flute, indicating that she initiated it, not Picard. Little character implications the show never spoke out loud.

Why does this still run chills coursing through me, after all these years? Though now, this sounds like something that would fit right into the soundtrack of "The Outsider"...then!...it sounded like something so 'other-worldly'. "The Inner Light"...was one of those very few programs that touched me in a way that I just can't quite describe. So poignant...so...To The Heart. If only they would make such great programming as this again....

This flute melody is hauntingly beautiful. The first episode using the Ressikan flute was one of the best STNG episodes, but this second one, with the character of Nella Daren was also very well done. I also liked it when Giordi Laforge was trying to locate where the music was coming from. I'm wondering if someone has done this tune a couple of octaves lower for those of us who feel pain from very high pitched music. I absolutely love this tune, and the STNG episodes that go with it, but it's pitched at pain level for me. There are lower pitched wind instruments that don't cause me pain. Also, the wooden ones tend to sound better to me than the metal ones. I am a great lover of music, but can't do more than hunt & peck playing on any instrument, can't read music, and I have a terrible singing voice, but at least I can enjoy listening to it. I also like many different types of music, so I will never get tired of it.🤗

But dropping F-bombs every other episode is SO edgy! /s **Facepalm** You might also enjoy: **DS9** S7E5, _Chrysalis_ kzitem.info/news/bejne/0416wHucfqpkmWU **Voyager** S5E22, _Someone to Watch Over Me_ kzitem.info/news/bejne/tniYvXdtk2p7Y4Y The problem with _Star Trash: Disaster_ and _Star Wreck: Retard_ is that they have no HEART and SOUL. ST:TNG was about optimism, wonder, and the joy of exploration, while modern Trek is bleak, nihilistic, dystopia, and depressing.
