It is interesting to have a character that's only 'sketched in', upon which we can project our own concepts of long life, ancient wisdom, inscrutable peace and comfortable friendship. Having the show fill in more canonical details about her would have felt... 'limiting', somehow.

    I never remembered this as a bad episode, but I guess in the season 4 shuffle, I had forgotten how *good* this one was. It's a rather perfect Star Trek episode as there was no villain, but a lot of tension, and the crisis is resolved by communication and cooperation.

    • @Omegafire17
      @Omegafire17 2 місяці тому +2

      I don't know how the 80's audience thought about it, but nowadays - with all the research into neurological, mental, and other kinds of illnesses - people are far more likely to know that this episode's progression is quite grounded, and very, very real (even if the situation that created it is fantastical).
      And that just makes it even scarier, even if you've not had first-hand experience with it in some form, which heightens the impact of the story.

    This was always one of my favorite episodes. I especially like when the Betazoid guy tells Troi "eyes in the dark." That was such a great reveal, and Marina's reaction is really cool to watch.

    The biggest flaw with this episode is that if the alien could speak English enough to say “one moon circling like eyes in the dark”, they could have just as easily said, “Hey we need hydrogen!”

      Not necessarily. "Eyes in the dark" could simply be the closest their language can come to an English interpretation. When Marco Polo first saw monkeys, he described them as "men with tails" because he had never seen a monkey before and no term had yet been invented for the animal. He only knew they somewhat resembled humans and they had tails, so "men with tails" was the best he could do at the time.

    I love to watch this episode on Halloween as I think this makes for a great Halloween episode... The morgue scene actually makes me laugh because I know that one of those actors is sitting there thinking, "I studied in Julliard for years just so I can sit here on a table with a bag over my head." I can't help but think one of those actors is thinking that and it makes me laugh every time.

    Jen for what it's worth, this is probably the second-most creepy TNG episode. You'll know (probably) when you get to the creepiest :) I'm glad that they're not ALL like this, but also I like that they're not afraid to go here either.

    This is one of the few episodes Deanna Troi is doing something useful with her abilities and figures the solution out. I would have loved to have her as the hero in the endscene. Nothing against Data, but this was not a Data episode - it was a Troi episode.
