I liked The Survivors, but this episode I absolutely love. It’s in my top handfull of favorite Star Trek episodes.
Picard is litterally willing to die for the ideals of the Prime Directive.
And his awe of the Mentakins potential is really moving.
The terrain of Mintaka III should look familiar. It’s where Kirk fought Finnegan in ‘Shore Leave’ and where Kirk fought the Gorn in ‘Arena’. Those are the Vasquez Rocks.
I believe they filmed scenes from ‘Alternative Factor’ and ‘Friday’s Child’, as well.
No way!! That is so cool!!
Picard should not of been whispering when he said “increase to Warp 9”.
Good thing Data has excellent hearing.
what the frak, dudes??? why are we starting at 6???
Omicrom! I never realised that guy was the same guy who played Laura’s father in Twin Peaks (Ray Wise). Now I’m creeped out by him.
I just go where I’m told.
If memory serves, you and I share a love for this particular episode?
I saw this in a re-run. As I’ve mentioned before I didn’t watch much TNG in its first run until I caught Best of Both Worlds, Part 1 one night after night school. When I saw this episode I was floored. This was really good stuff. I was impressed.
Somehow, I missed this episode in the original run.
And every rerun cycle.
I have literally seen it only once before, and only because trivia about Insurrection referenced an episode I’d never before seen.
Of course, since they didn’t yet know about the environmental damage of warp travel, one wonders why they didn’t just hit maximum warp from the start.
Us Easties decided to move it up. Well, I did. :rolleyes:
it’s a favorite, to be sure. I do tend to get pissed at Ray Wise’s character for being such a dipsh*t
Since this is one of my favs, I’ve seen it several times. You’ll note that in one (or more) of the TNG movies, Picard has a Mentakin keepsake on his ready room chair.
It’s obvious Bev is not as proficient at wiping minds as Dr. Pulaski was.
no fair!! you’re virtually guaranteeing I’ll never experience a full Trekfrak again :mad:
Because gas costs $10,335,001.54 per gallon in the 24 century. 
I am sooo going there and taking some pictures. Soon.
I do prefer a tad later myself. I’m a nite owl.
That’s why they got heavily into composting. :rolleyes:
Durn. I muted there for a bit. How far are you into part II?
