Review : On the whole I don't have a lot to add to the existing review and I largely agree with it. What I wanted to point out was Tasha Yar's backstory. Having her being gang-raped being the defining moment of her life is rather dark, especially for Trek, especially on a prime time late 80's TV show. It was refreshing to see someone in the Federation who had a very, very rough early life.

Review : Older and wiser now, I realize this episode is precisely written (listen to the dialogue from the beginning). This is about communication, like Darmok, but the message is written into the episode. Kind of like it's a secret or something, which it is. The characters are speaking to the audience more than they are to each other. It's just so evident to me now, it bothers me that I had not noticed it before. Many episodes are written like this. I think this is, like, the prevailing theme of Star Trek or something.

Review : Well, this was interesting and different. It was hardly perfect, but it was possible to see how TNG tried to curve gently away from TOS early on rather than sheering off at a mad angle. Here, we had the mysterious Traveller, who was at least written well (we learn a few things about him, but not much), and a visit to somewhere far, far beyond where we had been before. There were also elements of the old stuff, being careful about fantasy becoming reality. However, it had its flaws. They emphasised Wesley as a boy genius, yet of course they went WAY too far with that. There was also the strange Kozinsky, only two pips yet utterly and completely full of himself (if he's chief engineer of a garbage scow after this, he can consider himself lucky). They were also still establishing elements of people's pasts, Picard's chat with his mother not quite working, but being partly illuminating. Overall, I think I liked it.
