I love that the TNG production team gave Denise Crosby the chance to rectify her decision to leave the show halfway thru the 1st season with her role as an alternate universe version of Tasha (in Yesterday's Enterprise) and this half Romulan child of the same character thereby giving her the meaty and in depth roles that she felt she had lacked originally.

32:17 When I used to go to Trek cons in the 90's and Robert O'Reilly (the actor who plays Gowron) was there, he always had the lights turned down and have someone in the audience shout "The Durass Family will rule the Empire!" Then O'Reilly would glare down, take a flashlight and shine it in his face, make sure his eyes lit up, and say: "Perhaps, but not _today!"_

I like the irony in Worf's story. He grew up believing in an idealized version of his people, where they were *exactly* the honorbound warriors as the stereotypes suggest. In reality, the klingons are no different to any other faction, with underhanded deals, treachery, twisting of the law to suit their own ends etc. just veiled in the trappings of honor, ritual and rite. In forming his identity around the idealization, Worf grew up to be the honorable klingon that his whole race *should* be; he was the best of them, the exemplar, by accident
@Tuning3434
2 ай бұрын
I've heard someone called it 'inward honour' vs 'outward honour'. For most Klingons it is enough to establish the outward appearance of honour, victory one of greatest honours, so winning while appearing honourable is the ultimate goal. Worf needs to feel honourable, and any victory obtained by means he himself perceives to be dishonourable would be considered a horrible defeat on his part.

I noticed that, and I also noticed that over the years, in both TNG and DS9, how very many times he had to sacrifice a great deal, again and again and again, all "for the good of the Empire." Trial by fire, indeed, and it made him into what may be the greatest Klingon of all. And for me, the payoff was in the final episode of DS9, when General Martok asks Worf to be his ambassador. Worf accepts, and Martok exclaims, "Excellent! Now I'll have someone to go targ hunting with!"

It’s even more involved than that. It was Maurice Hurley that got her fired in the first place. Denise had a great chemistry with the rest of the cast, and the thought of bringing her back in the fold was a momentous opportunity for the writing staff. Ron Moore, and Michael pillar wanted to find away to bring her back in a semi regular role. But it was Rick Berman, that ultimately vetoed it. Her being fired and some exchanges between her, and Gene put him in a position to lash out with a personal vendetta. According to Moore, it was Berman’s idea to have Tasha imprisoned, raped, and ultimately executed out of spite. I wish I could tell you. That’s the extent of Rick Berman sleaziness, but it continues for the rest of the franchise run under CBS and UPN.

I was teaching and holding a class on model construction for kids, mostly early to late teens, for seven years every Saturday afternoon. It was held in a back room of a hobby store. During this time Next Generation was their Star Trek, and we built plenty of models and had many in-depth discussions pertaining to the stories. I showed them all sorts of ways to make their models look as good as the ones on TV. One afternoon I started building MY Enterprise, from 1966. They thought it looked weird but were fascinated with it. It changed the storylines for them as they saw how my Star Trek influenced theirs, yet just as good and cool. Conversations they couldn't have with schoolmates who just didn't 'get it' the same as my schoolmates. Great bonding time.

Worf and Spock are similar in very important ways. Both are seen as being part of a culture different to humans. But both, within those cultures, are viewed as not being part of them. Worf, because of his being raised by humans and part of Starlfeet. Spock, because of his human mother. It's only when they are among those outside of the cultures they cherish, that they are seen as being part of them. Additionally, that very outsider status allows them to see the flaws, or blind points, in their respective cultures. And to avoid them. Ironically becoming greater representatives of what their people *should* be!

Part of Gowron's charm is his googly eyes. Apparently when the actor Robert O'Reilly auditioned, he did a take showing off his stare and they liked it so much they made it a part of the character. When TNG ends Worf moves over to Star Trek Deep Space Nine, and of course Gowron goes with him.

@@JOJO-dq6yh I disagree, but that may be in the personal definition of "story arc". I'm not saying that TNG was a soap opera, but there were extended storylines. The Klingon Empire's power struggles were ongoing, and continued into the movies. The Borg storyline, which started with Q introducing the Federation to the Borg also continued into the movies, and all subsequent TV series. When Yar was killed off in the first season, that could have been it, but in "Yesterday's Enterprise", she comes back in an alternate timeline, then sometime later, we are introduced to her half-Romulan daughter, Sela, which sparks another extended storyline. There are more, but I've droned on enough.

We're leaving a lot of classic TNG behind so these "pivotal" episodes are seen to satisfy the canon-minded. As you say, it wasn't episodes like this two-parter that made TNG a classic. As far as her watching the movies, the only season finale / opener that's really needed is BOBW. This, Times Arrow and Descent are all inconsequential (yes, we know what Data is in possession of at the end of Descent, but you don't need to know for Generations).

He handled things well, and he proved he is very capable of being what he is. And Picard was right. Too many tragedies have occurred as a function of men "just following orders". There is a time and a place to disobey orders. Meanwhile, Data's Number 1 tried undermining Data up until he realized, Data was right.

When they remastered the series in HD, they made a HUGE mistake in Redemption part 1--they over-brightened the shots with Denise Crosby, making it clear who she is before the audience is meant to know. As I recall, when I was a kid, you couldn't see that it was her until she stepped out of the shadows at the very end of the episode, and then it was like, "Whaaaaaaaat?!" Much more powerful that way. I know Cassie didn't recognize her right away, but I really feel that the HD remaster does a disservice to new fans watching the series for the first time by spoiling the end of that episode.

Hey Cassie, a few key episodes from Season 5 you might want to see are as follows: 1. "Ensign Ro" 2. "Disaster" (one of my favorites) 3. "The Game" (spoiler alert: Ashley Judd guest stars) 4. "Cause and Effect" (This episode was directed by Commander Riker himself: Jonathan Frakes) 5. "The First Duty" 6. "I Borg" (This one you will especially want to watch, because it continues the saga of the Borg). Also, you'll want to watch both parts of the episode Unification, especially since (no spoilers), there is a VERY special guest who shows up in them!

All solid suggestions. _Highly_ recommend Inner Light. Cassie will love it. Some folks flat out hate Darmok, but it's among my favorites and it's practically iconic. Picard has a really great scene in First Duty, that I can hear in my head right now. Cause and Effect is great for one reason. I just went back to verify and [redacted] is on screen for LITERALLY 24 seconds, and it's still some of the finest acting in all 58 years of Star Trek. I have, more than once, seen that character listed among the "Best [x] in Star Trek". Yes, I know they are in that movie and also on that other ST show. Also those novels.

32:00 - 32:07 Cassie, watching you enjoy Star Trek has allowed me to experience moments like that all over again through you. "Nicely done" was a great acknowledgement of Data's taking the initiative to handle a situation he didn't have time to explain to Picard. I remember going "yeah!" the first time I saw that part. I now understand better "The Doctor" on the show "Doctor Who" (a Matt Smith episode from about 10 years ago), when he explains why he takes companions to show them the universe - because those companions can "see it", i.e. have those moments of "wow". The Doctor had seen too much, the wonders of the universe had become boring - but he could experience the joy, the excitement again, through sharing with others. Thank you for bringing that to those of us who are veteran fans of shows like ST:TNG. ✌

Hey, Matt here, long time fan and subscriber. Its interesting, I watched the entire 7 season Star Trek TNG right before you did so it was great to see your reactions, which were almost like mine. Yeah, as a Native American man, I really understand Worf's divided loyalty between two nations, two peoples, and I also understand his decision to even surrender his lifelong life in the human world in order to defended the Klingon empire that was on the verge of collapse. I would do the same thing for my Gwich'in people too, if they were ever in that much trouble. As broken and contentious as they are at times, my loyalty is with them first. Kudos to Worf and notice Picard relented and followed him too.

If you thought picards actions resulting in sela being born were crazy, star trek online carries on her storyline past the series where she inadvertently provokes the iconians into tricking the romulans into destroying their homeworld. worst part? her act of revenge for it was the very act that provoked them into doing it in the first place. time travel is complicated

There are quite a few good episodes in the fifth season.

Got to love the Klingons. At least from the TNG era (and I guess the Star Trek Enterprise era too). For me the episodes of hidden moves, diplomacy and strategy were always among my favorites. Duh I know with my channel's name, but still. The bringing back of Tasha in this way was a double edged knife for me. On the one hand I was glad to see her back, kind of, as the original Tasha was perhaps my favorite character of early TNG. I admired the heck out of her. Such a strong person who went through hell, multiple times and still managed to prevail. Hurt, damaged, but still there. God I love her character. Returning in this way, learning what happened after she went back in time and how her life continued long after the battle and not only that but that she was still under constant "fight" and trying to survive. Then, once more facing death the way she did. What a tragic character! What a hero! Good reaction till the 33:12 point where the reaction became pure comedy. Bless you. :)

One of the best examples of TNG having continuing storylines across episodes, even seasons. This one had the ongoing Data storyline of him experiencing what it meant to be human, the Worf one of his wrongfully taken family honor as one which would pop up less regularly enough that you knew it was in the background, and then the unexpected deep cut continuation from Yesterday's Enterprise coming out of left field. Star Trek writing used to be so good.
