ReRushed Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I liked this episode. In a universe where all the aliens speak flawless English (the "universal translator" is a cop out), this episode was unique. I love the Next Generation. One of my favorites television shows of all-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorites television shows of all-time.Much like some of Neil's experiments with lyrics that didn't quite pan out but can be appreciated for the effort and premise, I love it just for the thought provoking nature of the episode. Communicating with an alien species may be nearly impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Communicating with an alien species may be nearly impossible. We can't even communicate with the "lesser" species on our own planet. Communicating with a sentient species on another planet would be miraculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorites television shows of all-time.Communicating with an alien species may be nearly impossible. Dolphins for example, are a bit of a challenge. But there is Jane Goodall's ape who knows sign language... and passed it down to her young. So never say never.. Amazing things can happen.

grep Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) One of my favorites from the series. I also really enjoy Inner Light. Inner light is right up there with the best Sci-Fi episodes ever. It is easily, IMHO, the best TNG episode. The one with Picard captured on Cardassia "THERE ARE 4 LIGHTS!!" is a close second. But nothing for me comes close to "The City On The Edge Of Forever", from TOS. A timeless classic, tearjerker.

EagleMoon Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I think it is one of the most clever eps of the series. When it first aired it got a lot of praise and I can understand why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 these tamarians were supposidly as advanced as the federation. yet theyre never seen again.not even in the dominion war. A bunch of you are impressed with the episode. The Tamarians spoke phrases like "arms wide open" etc. yet is was difficult for the brillaint Enterprise crew to learn how to communicate with them. Daft as the Brits says? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft as the Brits says? No one is perfect, I guess! That's why Picard & Co. are on the Federation's Flagship; they're slightly less daft than the rest of Starfleet.....

Perchance to Dream Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Possibly the dumbest episode of the series? I'm really surprised I sat through it.

Daft as the Brits says?Note, I don't take stuff like this too seriously. It's all in good fun. But, the episode explained this. If you don't know the details or the origin of the metaphor, how do you know the meaning? It's fun to nitpick, but sometime you have to suspend your disbelief for entertainment and understanding the theme. Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
