@@andyakers4329 Not sure how to answer that... someone messaged me on Reddit and asked if I had Discord to talk easier, so i made an account, figured it would be a place for us all to talk about the show etc beyond the comment section itself :) just seeing how it goes at this point, if people want to get involved in the convo there :)

3:32 Riker: You're far more charitable than I would have been, Captain. Picard: You may wish to withhold your praise for another time, Number One. I never said where she was to be transported.
Troi gets a lot of criticism for either stating the obvious or missing things an empath should pick up on. But here she’s the one who says what needs to be said and yet she’s ignored.
@@BigNoseDog It's not hard to see why she and Worf hit if off near the end of the series. They both had that in common. At least a few of Worf's suggestions here are very valid. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-edflm7Hh3hs.html
Ishara: THE PLACE IS SET TO OVERLOAD! Data: Did you lie to me? Ishara: WE'LL ALL BE DESTROYED! Data: Was your intent to deceive me? *Overload buzzing intensifies* Ishara: IT'S ABOUT TO BLOW! Data: Are you not my friend after all? Oh Data, I'd like to know the alloy your balls of steel are made out of. I sure could use some of that. :P
fear of death makes the idea of an explosion a distraction. but seeing as he dosent feel fear and probebly knows full well he has the time to nutralise her and the genny in 5 seconds flat. he has all the time in the world to quizz her about how mutch of a sket she is.
Small detail but I like how when picard put his hand up, Riker stopped arguing immediately. Cuz you can tell riker was ready to argue til the end of time. But Thats the amount of power picard has. He doesnt even need say a verbal command. His crew respects him so much that they will obey him immediately, and without thinking.
"She is a Sarah Connor analog; a popular character from the late 20th century, in a story about an indestructible android, which was sent back in time to..." "Just take her to the transporter room, Data."
And the Coalition leader kind of looks like Kyle Reese, heh. Just like the TOS visited old west and WWII planets, TNG got to visit 1980's dystopia planet.
When the guy on the viewscreen does his spiel on doing what they did "to preserve the peace," I imagine Picard making a mock-wanking gesture in response right before he tells Worf to "CLOSE THE CHANNEL!" Actually, that would be a more appropriate response from the Capitan of the Enterprise night crew, wouldn't it?
would have been kinda cool to use her as part of the main cast. i dunno for what role but having tashas sister on board would have been cool. I wonder how she would ahve felt that shes an aunt to a human romulan hybird XD
That look Picard gives Ishara at 3:15, damn. It's a mixture of disappointment in her and disappointment in himself. Riker had a point, but Picard knew the best thing now would be to just get rid of her and be done with it. There was no good resolution to the situation either way.
Frankly, she wasn't expecting Data. That kill setting was for the Alliance jabroni she wastes at the start of the video. She just didn't adjust it when Data showed up.
It's said that Tasha's death had no meaning, that it was empty. And perhaps so. It was callously done just to show an evil being's power. But what her death lacked in meaning, her life more than made up for. In her relatively short time on the Enterprise she touched each and every one of her colleagues profoundly. So much so that her influence reverberates throughout the series. I always loved how she was never forgotten. Despite what lead her actress to exit, Tasha always still felt like a member of the crew right up until the end.
Agreed. As a child I’m pretty sure she was my favorite character. She just oozed charisma. Also after rewatching the series it’s somewhat surprising to me to find out that of all the crew the captain seems to be the most affected and heartbroken by her death. In this episode you can see that and in the alternate timeline episode where he doesn’t want to let her go and help the other Enterprise in a battle where they are more or less doomed but he does so anyway because he knows it’s the right thing to do and doesn’t want to take the decision away from her.😔
Even during her escapades during the alternate timeline.... what she did during her time aboard the Enterprise C meant something, despite giving birth to Sela. and her offspring making chaos to the era of the Iconians.
Natasha ‘Tasha’ Yar is a fictional character from the American science-fiction series Star Trek played by Denise Crosby. She only appears in the series New Generation and is killed in the first season of the show in the episode The Exterior of Evil. She was chief of security aboard the Starfleet starship USS Enterprise-D and carries the rank of lieutenant. Her character concept was originally based upon Vasquez from the Aliens (1986).
This is what she said. I was miserable. I couldn’t wait to get off that show. I was dying. This was not an overnight decision. I was grateful to have made that many episodes, but I didn’t want to spend the next six years going “Aye, aye, captain,” and standing there, in the same uniform, in the same position on the bridge. It just scared the hell out of me that this was what I was going to be doing for the next X-amount of years. I think you have to take your chances. I was really young. I didn’t have to make house payments or put kids through private schools or support people. I was free to make those kinds of decisions. I’d been in acting school really dreaming of playing all kinds of different things. Whether it’ll happen or not, you don’t know, but you’ve got to give yourself a chance. God forbid you to go through your life thinking, “What if?”
Worf’s thinking: You could of said this all at the brig…but no..I gotta go down to the brig, bring her all the way back to the bridge for 30 seconds and then Data takes her all the way to the transporter room…I mean, why do we have transporters? I…just beam her from the bridge…or you know, prepare for ramming speed-No wait, that doesn’t make sense. I’ll be able to use ramming speed for something.
Picard has to be one of the greatest characters ever written. A creation who’s ideals and approach to all situations should be something we should all strive to.
Funny how Data did something that you'd never expect because it just makes too much sense ... dodge the shot. (Although he merely stopped walking into it and could react in time due to his android reflexes that he was granted by the writers here.) And yes, they were at fault for not taking hints from Deanna to keep a skeptical eye on her.
Let this be a reminder that even though we put ourselves at risk when we trust another who may have ulterior motives, it is the right thing to do to give someone a chance
Im intrigued by this example of the 1990 female square hairline. I remember high-school classmates having the same look, usually paired with thick, up-sprayed bangs and a long, blunt back. But this actress basically has a slick-back with the same squared hairline that isn't seen very much I modern times.
One of my favorite scenes is when Q's son turns Engineering into a night club. They even had disco lights and alien dancing girls. Now there is a business venture, a sci-fy bar for all the Trek and movie fans!!!
I probably would've had her implant put back in. Even if they averted the Coalition's plot, they still gave one of their people a tactical edge by taking their implant out.
She gets transported alright... oh my, so many opportunities for payback. Transport could go wrong and her body could be end up in space. Or just 1 2 pieces for the heck of it.
@@molybdaen11 "She's scrabbling around to get them back on again, but even before she can get her knickers on, I've seen everything. Yeah. I've seen it all."

AFAIK, Federation regulations (similar to US military regs) would have prevented something like that, to help protect her bloodline. After an entire family was wiped out because all of a group of brothers served on a single ship. This is also essentially the plot to Saving Private Ryan. Not saying that this couldn't be handwaved away, just my understanding of Starfleet rules.
Guy on screen: There was opportunity, we took the chance My response: You brought us into this war, so we're in it. Worf, target all bases, load torpedoes,
It seemed funny how some episodes of TNG tried to imitate the original series by appearing to teach a lesson to the viewer about life and relationships
We come in peace. Shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill. We come in peace. Shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill,. Star Trekking across the universe. Only going forward till we find reverse.
I suppose Picard had little choice but to let Ishara Yar go. Hayne was right. Picard and Enterprise really had no juristiction and had Picard to prosecute Ishara, he would been interfering in violation of the Prime Directive.
I'm honestly surprised, with how many phaser fights Data seems to get into that he doesn't have have a 'shield' of some sort built in. Nothing crazy like the Enterprise or a standard shuttle's shields, just an energy dissipation/absorption device built into him or worn. Also while I'm thinking on some "why not" situations... Why does the crew on larger Federations ships have to run to the escape pods during an emergency? If the Enterprise D is big enough to have it's own dolphin tanks (look up the schematics/floor plans), why not have site-to-site transporters built into the escape pod system that are keyed to each person onboard? So if the Captain calls out "abandon ship!" or there's a (seemingly 10 times per season) imminent warp core breach/explosion, the civilians and crew get auto-transported into the assigned escape pods and launched? Why do the members of an Away Team not have some sort of isolation/protection system when going to an unexplored or unknown environment? They just pop on over to a planet or vessel with unknown contaminants and whatnot without any PPE? Do they really just be like "No worries. If I get exposed to an alien plague and bring it back to the ship, Dr. Crusher will have it figured out before the episode ends. No need for quarantine protocols or decontamination baths."?!?
