He definitely pulled the career threat on the wrong Starfleet officer.
True. I also wonder if, to Picard, the threat telegraphed desperation.
That guy was a bit of smug bastard
@@JWMcLay And willing to call Picard's crew a bunch of hotheaded buffoons who can't control themselves rather then have Sarek's condition exposed in my opinion. I get Sarek's wife hiding her husband's condition as she loves him and I get why Sarek's Vulcan aide was covering for Sarek but what does Sarek's Human aide have to gain from covering for Sarek and by threatening Picard and implying that Picard's crew are simply hotheads, slandering the finest crew in Starfleet and threatening Picard is a BAD idea.....
@@girlgarde well he could just be a smug SOB as the other poster thinks or maybe its just a combination of that plus simply respecting Sarek so much that he simply is unwilling to even accept for a moment that anything serious could be wrong with the man. A deep love and or respect for another person who is of great significance to his people in one way or another can bring out a kind of overprotectiveness plus deep denial (as it pertains to worrying health problems that might arise) in those people that are close to them.
@@steveshepard88 He could also be under the effect of Sarek's influence, and the smugness is actually a side effect.
01:30 I love how Steward says "loss of control" when sitting down and straightening his uniform. There's a beautiful hint of "French" pompousness there.
What's up with you trekkie people picking up on the tiniest little details of the show and reading into them? Jesus man get a life.
The tension and release throughout the story puts this episode in the top five best of the series
Too bad they didn’t talk about spocks brother during this episode
Starfleet Orders, we don't talk about him.
Or.... his sister.
*laughs in opening credits*
To be fair, this episode aired in May of 1990, meaning it was likely shot during the winter of 1989-90. _The Final Frontier_ had released the previous June; the scathing reviews were almost certainly fresh on everyone's minds.
@@ThreePointOneFouomg, that movie was so bad. And so unfortunate because those years had some fantastic movies.
"Vulcans repress their emotions..."
Uh, no Deana, they suppress emotions. Repression is different.
Repression of emotions is somewhat of a myth in people too, because it's often conflated with emotional discipline. That a lack of display of emotion is the same as repressing it, when emotions in no way demands that they are expressed but merely felt and with that given closure. The word emotion is misleading as well, when emotion is indistinguishable from instinct.
I still use the word suppress because it is a deliberate act of containing or inhibiting emotion. Repression may also be correct but due to how I see how Vulcans are, suppression is a better descriptor
There is signs of both suppression and repression in this episode.
Who's Diana?
@@aggressiveattitudeera887 I meant Deanna, typo
What parent would bring their kids to live in a ship where periodically the whole dang crew goes crazy. That's got to be traumatizing for a developing brain to experience on a regular basis.
In a world where treating organ failure is a minor operation, I imagine they have a much higher risk tolerance
So...side note: Who were the ‘Lagarrans’ and what is the Federation negotiating?? I’m glad it turns out well, but what is it that turned out well?
it doesn't matter who they were, the negotiation was just a mcguffin.
Idk, but they must be decently powerful or capable of defending whatever they have that the federation wants or it wouldn’t just be the federation that’s after the Lagarrans. If what they have is that valuable the Klingons would have invaded if they could, or the Romulans would be sneaking warbirds into their territory or running puppet pirate raiding parties to steal it.
@@11jerans They mistrusted Federation hygiene practices, preferring to bathe i n simmering cauldrons of swampy goo. Sarek was negotiating to get them to agree to at least the occasional sonic shower before visiting any Federation world, lest their pheromonal stench cause outbreaks of incivility and mass refusal to chew food with mouths properly closed. To mark the occasion, Sarek himself was scheduled to take a ceremonial dip with them in a recreation of one of their radioactive jacuzzis as a gesture of goodwill.
The assistant dude's a douche. No reasonable man would so easily discount the potential of the problem, something that could be solved by simply asking the man in question. If Sarek was so Vulcan, he'd commend the Captain for his due diligence in exploring all possibilities of the problem.
The real cause of these outbursts? Come on, it's obviously beans. Lots of beans.
Is that fanboy a human or how can he indulge in the cringy logic of calling Sarek "the greatest man of our times"?
(As we see, intellectual extremism creates blind spots. Fear is an emotion. When fear is suppressed, it cannot be subdued and becomes particularly powerful.)
Sarek's aid lied here. I thought Vulcans never lie
He's not a Vulcan.
Vulcans pride themselves on never lying, but they logically acknowledge the occasional necessity for certain information to remain private, based on security requirements, individual rights or other such considerations. In extremity, such concealment may require making statements which constitute ... prevarications.
Whatever the other music is that you have play after the TNG piano theme, is dumb and I skip it. Just wanted you to know
You must be fun at parties.
@@KWyzel maybe so. I'm just letting them know and I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't like it

0:54 Crusher: _We do have a working theory. We believe that it's possible that the whole ship is getting sarekt._
You mean to say Sareking is contagious??!
Picard: Shut up Wesley!
Oh cool, Ten Forward with full lighting.
aka Last Call lights.
You can also see it in Star Trek VI.
Yesterdays enterprise as well
@@josephgarrett5693 Really? I recall that being very dark.
@LtPowers When Yar and Castillo go there it's brightly lit
Picard: ive broken the prime directive like 20 times. What can YOU do to hurt my career?
Good thing troi was so helpful in sensing the vulkans extreme emotions..... Oh wait
Illogical! Illogical!
@theprogram863especially after Guinan was introduced. To be fair, with Data also on the crew, I can see the writers having difficulty with Troi. You can't have every single member of the crew with superpowers.
The Chief of Staff has a lot chutzpah, and is a fool to boot. He is aware of Sarak's condition, yet he risks the mission and threatens Picard. If any career should be ending, it's his.
"There is a very rare condition that sometimes affects Vulcans over the age of 200."
Death?
he clearly is losing hig beans
Jean-Luc is right, this episode is a hell of a time.
2:20 - You'd think they still have zoom meetings ...
So weird seeing Ten Forward with the house lights on.
It looked eerily like a TV filming set. That's not sarcasm, it just looked a bit like the illusion was broken for a moment
It was a very emotional episode indeed. Impossible not to cry at the end. After having is mind meld with Sarek, I love the way Picard looks at his wife Perrin before they leave Enterprise.
I really like that they decided not to heavily include the Vulcans in TNG...was never really a fan
There has also been a report of a Wesley slapping.
There aren't nearly enough of those as far as I'm concerned.
That's not a sign of something being wrong. Not slapping him is.
An area plagued with random acts of violence? Sounds like a typical #SheffieldWednesday match?
Greatest? Sorry but I think that accolade goes to Spock. He brokered a peace with a hated enemy and helped save the Federation on more than one occasion
1:26 look at Marina's breasts / chest muscles twitching as she speaks :)
Is a medical affliction a dishonor?
Bandai Syndrome? I thought that's what happened when you lost to Azazel to many times (Tekken 6 players will get this).
No, that's "Broken Controller Syndrome".
I wonder if it's anything like Bandai withdrawal, which manifests whenever I can't get my fix of cool Japanese robot toys.
This is really great. Surprisingly.
pretty much,...
been alone waiting for the other shoe to drop for a long time,...
Sarek was acting out because the music activated his latent Cylon programming.
Picard’s dark grey hair? I don’t remember it looking like that.

I fail to see why the emotional suppression of the Vulcans is looked upon as such a virtue by all of the characters. Even if it were really such a great thing, in and of itself, which I would argue it is not, it seems to cause many side effects, this episode's problems being just one of them. Perhaps, if the Vulcans were able to somehow handle their own emotions without suppressing them or allowing them to control them, then they would be much better off.
You might want to read or at least skim a book called Spock's World by Diane Duane, and/or maybe look up the TNG episode called Gambit parts 1 and 2. They talk about how the early Vulcans were extremely warlike before they learned to control their emotions by way of the C'Thia philosophy of Surak. The Vulcans of their feudal middle ages were more dangerous and violent because they were also telepathic to some extent. Once peace came to Vulcan by embracing pure logic and suppressing emotion, they were no longer in danger of extinction.
In a word: Romulans
@UCRlhUEEFfBgPEy4Qb-Pi0zQ It's been a long time since I read Spock's world, but the things I remember included them using eugenics to select for certain types of characteristics, including death by telepathy. During the wars they would use such people as weapons against their enemies. I don't recall if they had nuclear stuff because I found the palace intrigue more interesting.
@@SanjaySingh-oh7hv Is there any way the Vulcans could express emotions without being super violent like the Klingons? They don't have to go back all the way or be ruthless spies like the Romulans, just express emotions but don't go all out with them and resort to peaceful ways to handle problems and don't conquer other races like the Romulans do.
@@girlgarde The evolution of the Vulcans and their culture seems to be most officially described in Spock's World. You'd have to look there for the story of their various epochs.
But apparently Sarek remarked before the mind meld that Vulcan emotions are very strong or powerful and that they have learned to suppress them, but with his condition they would flow to Picard and overwhelm him. So it sounds like mental discipline and cultural conditioning get them to control their emotions.
However I also remember a character named S'Task in the book who was a disciple of Surak and a key student, but rebelled when he used his aggressive emotions to overpower enemies of Vulcan from another planet. He and his followers left to become the Romulans and over the centuries some physiological and cultural differences made them diverge.
I remember Deanna Troi describing Romulans as "creatures of extremes, one moment violent beyond description, the next tender" ... I consider them more sneaky than violent, but obviously they are partly based on Roman society, just as the Klingons are based on Japan.
First!
Even before tjwparso?
