"Somethings in this world, do not deserve forgiveness." -M'Benga For example if someone wastes your time, your effort by mobbing. There must be a time police. As I said, time police. I hate trolls.
Such a great scene, this felt exactly like one of those classic Trek dilemmas with no clear and obvious resolution. I like that it was left open ended and lets you decide who was in the right/wrong. And it really does bring up some good questions about justice vs redemption and second chances.
This was like the TOS where Kodos the Executioner ordered half of the 8000 colonists executed when he was Governor of Tarsus IV, an Earth Colony. Kevin Riley, James Kirk, and his brother George Samuel Kirk ,had survived the executions due to an exotic fungus destroying the colony's food supply. Kodos was then part of a travelling actors troupe. The Karidian Company of Players under Anton Karidian (Adrian Kodos real name). Until Kodos's daughter (spoilers ahead) Lenore Karidian, was killing people who could identify her father. She tried to kill James Kirk on stage, but her father intervened and took the shot for Kirk. You never know who someone really is.
Most powerful scene in the series so far. Both of them are right. And both of them are wrong. It's complicated, and messy, and there's no real way of figuring out what is really the moral thing to do here.
I didn't start the fight. But I' m glad it started. Pike walked away. He didn't get it. M'Benga sighed, went back to his duties. Thinking, it will come.
Does anybody know where I can listen to the ost in this scene? Whenever I try to find Strange New Worlds ost I only get the songs from Subspace Rhapsody.
I think Pike comes across as a bit weak in this scene. I think that Picard would have pointed out that everyone who died on J'Gal is still dead; and that, now that Dak'rah is dead, the conflict that he was going to negotiate an end to will just continue. Nothing was served by his death.
This episode dealt with PTSD way more maturely than DS9 ever did. DS9 is great, but the way it executed it's characters dealing with their trauma, didn't age well.
Miles had to deal with a lot of things, and portrayed it extremely well in multiple scenes. Colm Meaney knocked it out of the park with the struggles of dealing with war time enemies turned comrades, being imprisoned in his own mind for what he thought was a life time.
@@mihilist Not DS9, but I always felt this episode was thematically linked to O'Brien's hatred of Cardassians. "It's not you I hate, Cardassian; I hate what I became because of you"
