“One world’s butcher is another world’s hero. Perhaps I am neither one.”
This is Ronald D. Moore’s second addition to TrekLore. It’s another impressive episode.
Stewart, with heavy make-up and accent, plays the Shakespearean character of Michael Williams in the episode’s opening scenes, which pay homage to the 1989 film version of Henry V. That film was directed by and starred Kenneth Branagh, whose performance is cited by Data as one of the inspirations for his own.
oh, the Romulans…
and oh, Shakespeare. the human condition. literature! humanities! yay!
that could totally be a defense for people who say humanities are useless: but they can even teach robots about being human! 
“Warbird is heading to Romulan territory…”
Um, Worf. It’s cloaked. Is there something you should tell us? Like, how you can track a cloaked ship?
What a beautiful scene, building the interesting relationship between Picard and Data.
This episode marks the first Star Trek appearance of James Sloyan, who was to be a prolific Trek actor. He appears in TNG again as K’mtar, a future Alexander Rozhenko, in “Firstborn” and plays the title character in VOY: “Jetrel”, but his largest role was as Odo’s “father”, Doctor Mora Pol, appearing in DS9 episodes “The Alternate” and “The Begotten”.
And Comcast craps out again. :mad:
Internet connection on my iPhone is pretty pokey too. I wonder if there’s some kind of local issue.
Le sigh. 
“Well at least he has given us a look at their technology.”
Oops. That is all Moore.
Love how Jarok tests Worf.
agreed! and then jarok just laughs lol
Interesting how the Universal Translator knows when they’re using alien words without the intention of translating them.
I’m just sitting back and enjoying how well this episode is played. Amazing all around.
AKA the censors.
“…with their pants down.”
Data looks disgusted.
Because he only knows one reason to take them down.
And there are unlikely to be drunk chicks there. :rolleyes:
The teaser originally involved Data as Sherlock Holmes, but had to be replaced for legal reasons (see: “Elementary, Dear Data”). Patrick Stewart suggested Henry V as an alternative when approached by Piller two days before filming.
Yeah I don’t have much to say, this is one I just get wrapped up in
aw, Data! Bringing Romulus to the Romulan
