“Temba, his arms wide!”
Watch online at YouTube.
This is possibly my most fav TNG episode of all time and in all parrallel universes.
I hope tonight’s frak will be filled with the spirit of “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra”.
Here’s how to speak Tamarian by the way .http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Tamarian_language
and… engage
greetings, TrekTarts!!!
Glad to be watching it with you then sir!
I love this episode. when I saw y’all were frakking it, and I happened to be home, I figured it was destiny 
Yay more people!
Though… what is up with Picard’s jacket?
So, how does everyone feel about Picard’s new getup?
Woo Hoo!! And it’s one of your favorites too, D, if memory serves?
I like it!! I remember thinking how cool it was when the ep was first shown
it does indeed one of my very favorites. never fails to bring a tear
Hm this would be an excellent episode to use for teaching the use of figurative language… unfortunately I doubt my students would be familiar with it.
This episode had the longest gestation period of any episode during Michael Piller’s tenure, taking around two years to make it to the screen. Rick Berman hated the premise, but Piller thought it was interesting and was determined to make it work, so he finally gave it to Joe Menosky.
That makes so much sense to me.
Berman = knuckle-head
No more Picard Maneuver! :eek:
I think Starfleet’s been contracting with the Casual Male again…
Woot!! The gang is all here.
The idea of the captain’s uniform being quite different than the rest of the crew is very 18th century. But it seems sort of weird in the future (or present).
But, Kirk’s v-neck green uniform on the other hand—somehow that worked. 
truer words were never typed 
The story about Gilgamesh and Enkidu is from the Epic of Gilgamesh, a Babylonian poem which is one of the earliest known literary works (2150 BC-2000 BC). The story of Gilgamesh and Enkidu at Uruk is itself a metaphor for the situation of Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel: two people, initially combatants, come together to become friends and fight a common foe, a battle in which one of them is struck down and the other mourns his loss.
Or, they’re trying to be equal opportunity with curious shoulder get-ups?
Ahem, it worked? :rolleyes:
