As title says. I want to really soak in that high-minded worldview today.
The First Duty.
Noted!
Especially the musical redition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6oUz1v17Uo&t=35
This episode is beautiful: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Darmok_(episode)
It is about communication.
Every (classic… I haven’t seen most of the new ones) series has an episode based on Enemy Mine, and this is TNG’s.
If you haven’t seen Enemy Mine, it’s very much worth a watch. Maybe a bit dated but it’s very good.
Measure of a man and it’s not close.
They spend the whole episode debating the nature of humanity and fundamental rights, and how they must all be defended, even for those who seem like they could be ignored for convenience.
A few come to mind:
- Drumhead
- Who watches the watchers
The third I’d add to this list is Measure of a Man. I think between the three you get a good sense of how Starfleet thinks of itself and others.
They get to moralize the most directly in the courtroom episodes.
FeralHistorian is that you?
