Number / Name | Why I liked it |
721 / 1:1
Encounter at Farpoint |
Ideals: honesty, peace, not giving up, intelligence, creativity, technology,
common sense, speaking up and then obeying orders / asking for advice and then issuing
orders, not obeying idiots, fairness, no fear of own death, protecting the lives of
others, efficiency, courage, humanity, r & r, research, understanding, tolerance, not
exactly keeping to the law, ex-lovers can be colleagues, exploration.
A dark part of their past (our future). Do descendants answer to the ancestors crimes? A conflict between the captain and the ambition of his first officer? Bones! |
103 / 1:2
The naked now |
Data and Tasha!
Beverley and Jean-Luc. |
104 / 1:3
Code of honor |
The prime directive.
Unfairness? Honor is wasteful? |
107 / 1:4
The last outpost |
The right to meet death awake.
A guardian of a dead empire. Female clothing viewed as an invitation to unclothe the female - a distraction. |
106 / 1:5
Where no one has gone before |
Ideas made real.
Wesley an extraordinary person. Space, time and thought are not the separate things they appear to be. |
108 / 1:6
Lonely among us |
Humans are vegetarians.
Learning by doing, or by going to school? Data as Sherlock Holmes! Mutiny. Matrix-like music. |
109 / 1:7
Justice |
Worf: "Nice planet." :-)
Interesting society: no one does anything uncomfortable to them, all life is about pleasure, physical fitness, music, nature, no machines - except: no crime, because the punishment for even the smallest crime is death, swift, painless. Is that okay? (No.) And if not: does that invalidate the possibility of the rest of this Eden? "I'm with Star Fleet, we don't lie." Hm... A god, that is really a vessel and crew. Ignorance of the law is no defense. A just law is not absolute, there must be exceptions. Prime directive broken? |
110 / 1:8
The battle |
Nice ghost crew effect.
Revenge is unprofitable. |
111 / 1:9
Hide and Q |
That Matrix music again.
Change/growth is at the heart of human nature. Our crew / Napoleon wars. A contest in Shakespeare. Are Q-like powers good for humans? We are not ready for it yet. Power corrupts... |
105 / 1:10
Haven |
That Matrix-twinge again...
Arranged weddings. Mother/daughter relationships. Complete honesty is good. Seeing a bit of the future? Or lond distance telepathy? All beings connected all the time? Acceptance. Virus warfare is foolish. Relationship between in-laws. Humor. A third wheel. The music. I give up: this is perfect. Except maybe the obnoxious Lwaxana? |
113 / 1:11
The big goodbye |
Our crew / 1941, San Francisco.
Beverley / Jean-Luc. Fantasy becoming dangerously real. Reality turning out to be a fantasy. Killing for a purpose. The music. |
114 / 1:12
Datalore |
Time enough, to just look.
Handling embarrassment. Data, with a tick, a superiority complex, emotion - and evilness. An actor playing 2 close parts. |
115 / 1:13
Angel one |
A matriarchy, with strong females.
La Forge (not used to lead) in command. Life or principles? Martyrs. A revolution, that doesn't happen overnight. Attempt at breaking P.D. |
116 / 1:14
11001001 |
Nice shot of the ship from above.
Perfect twins, moving in harmony. Menuet. Guilt in an android! Loving, and losing. Man should not love machine. Very good episode. |
112 / 1:15
Too short a season |
An old man growing younger. Choosing not to grow old with his wife, not to even ask his wife.
But - rejuvenation doesn't work. Doing the past over doesn't work. Revenge doesn't either.
Why is youth so important? War is a choice. |
118 / 1:16
When the bough breaks |
Physical hurt - and the other kind...
Desperate situations. Unlimited development of talent - or living with your family? Passive resistance. Hunger strike. Too much science is not good. |
117 / 1:17
Home soil |
Inorganic life, beautiful.
The definition of life. "Ugly bags of mostly water." ;-) Unintended destruction. |
119 / 1:18
Coming of age |
Mystery - what is the point of that investigation?
Covert tests. The correct answer to disrespect. A glimmer of something - a conspiracy. Running away solves nothing. |
120 / 1:19
Heart of glory |
Looking through somebody else's eyes.
How Klingon is Worf? What is Klingon nature and culture anyway? How Star Fleet is Worf? Good one! |
121 / 1:20
The arsenal of freedom |
Peace through weapons?
Leadership. A superior weapon killing its creators. |
123 / 1:21
Symbiosis |
Withdrawal, drugs, dealing in drugs, deceit...
Negotiating with a kidnapper. Using (abusing?) P.D.? |
122 / 1:22
Skin of evil |
A death in the crew. A burial. Touching.
Therapy. A race "shedding" their evil side. Or? What is evil anyway? Negotiating with a kidnapper. Love of life. In a good life, death is acceptable. |
124 / 1:23
We'll always have Paris |
Time manipulation.
Old love, of Jean-Luc. Closure. Great actor! |
125 / 1:24
Conspiracy |
When does one believe in a conspiracy?
A small arc (1:18 + 1:24). Mystery. |
126 / 1:25
The neutral zone |
Our crew / 20th century people.
Therapy. The challenge of life: improve and enrich yourself. |
