I never have been a big fan of Tasha Yar, but she's very good here too, and her situation and her take on that situation really makes the meat of this one.<br /><br />TNG when TNG is at its best.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-34930891925718996572015-09-27T12:47:06.719-04:002015-09-27T12:47:06.719-04:00"We see Wesley in a proper Starfleet uniform ..."We see Wesley in a proper Starfleet uniform for the first time. It suits him, and he fits in much better and looks much less out of place when appearing as a young but fully integrated Ensign." <br />I totally agree. The same thing happens after the "Chain of Command" episodes when Deanna starts wearing a proper uniform. Both characters look MUCH better this way.<br /><br />I love this episode, but sometimes I wonder what it says about Star Trek that so many of the best episodes are the ones where the crew are in an alternate universe/timeline/reality and aren't behaving like themselves.

This one has been a favorite of mine since the first time I saw it. It was a perfect way to bring back Denise Crosby, whom I think made probably the worst career decision an actress has ever made. Christopher McDonald made Richard Castillo memorable with very little screen time, and Patrick Stewart was amazing, as always -- he was so believable as a battle captain with the weight of the universe on his shoulders, while remaining much the same man Picard is, as well. His ultimate decision made sense. <br /><br />I particularly love how dark this episode is, literally -- the lighting is so different that it indicates immediately that something has changed. And all of the little details that are just part of the story and never explained, like the absence of not only Worf but Troi. <br /><br />And Captain Rachel Garrett! I think you're right that she was a precursor of Janeway, because the fans loved her. And of course, prune juice. It's a warrior's drink. <br /><br />A perfect episode.
