2025-01-15 04:03:21 +0000 UTCI cry like a 12 year old amish widow at the end of that episode. I've seen it dozens of times, and I still cry at the end.

2025-01-06 19:32:34 +0000 UTCThis one always brings a tear to my eye. Such a powerful episode. "Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again." That's some top tier writing there.

2025-01-06 17:46:46 +0000 UTCThis episode and the Offspring with Lal, made me ugly cry when I first watched them. They are tied as my favorite TNG episode.

2025-01-04 16:45:44 +0000 UTCAmong the most beautiful, and saddest, of the TNG episodes. It reminds me (indirectly) of Arthur C. Clarke's short story, "The Star" (1955), in that it presents the same problem: if a civilization came to know it was going to be wiped out with no survivors, what would it do? How would it try to preserve something, anything, so that it did not entirely disappear from history or reality? In giving Picard an entire lifetime as Kamin, the Kataanians provided the most vivid possible message of what they were like, how they lived, what was important to them. With decades of memory, Picard can now tell his own people, in loving detail, what Kataan was. They will live again. But this gift comes at the cost of intense grief. To know that your friends, your spouse, your children, are long dead (and maybe never really lived, as I think that the characters in the vision were invented for the purpose of giving Kamin a life), must provide immeasurable sorrow to Picard. But isn't sorrow appropriate? Don't the Kataanians deserve to have someone mourn them? It makes me think about memorials, epitaphs, and the memory of loved ones.

2025-01-02 18:49:39 +0000 UTCI came here to point out that it was Daniel Stewart, you beat me to it! lol

2025-01-02 10:37:33 +0000 UTCYeah, I got the CD that was on, and it's gloriously beautiful. It's on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eujM5uoo-l0?si=sutQrHkP8VjxGvxt

2025-01-02 10:36:49 +0000 UTCI've been waiting for you to get to this one. I recommend looking up the full orchestral video of "The Inner Light" on Youtube. So beautiful.

2025-01-02 07:47:16 +0000 UTCNamed after, and inspired by, a Beatles song, "The Inner Light", by George Harrison, which itself was inspired by Lao-Tzu's book, Tao Te Ching. Basically, the concept of transcendental meditation and using it to reach another plane. Another consciousness. "Without going out of your door, you can know all things on Earth. Without looking out of your window, you can know the ways of Heaven... Arrive without travelling. See all without looking. Do all without doing."

2025-01-01 14:04:30 +0000 UTCYou caught the ONE thing I never caught. The community tree was dead! I never saw it. Such a hard cut at the end though. Dying to know your thoughts on the BEST TNG episode!
Georges Chartrand
2025-01-01 08:42:23 +0000 UTCYou probably saw the imo greatest episode of all Star Trek. Perhaps you like to enjoy episode composer Jay Chattaway' suite on the flute theme... π https://youtu.be/eujM5uoo-l0?si=TNIOalZNOTNU9LEA Happy new year, Jen! ππ€

2025-01-01 02:31:56 +0000 UTCIt's a little sad, but more than anything it's so, so beautiful.

2025-01-01 01:32:58 +0000 UTCThis episode is one of my favorites and anytime the flute (resican?) shows up again I get hyped

2025-01-01 00:11:33 +0000 UTCYep, I've been waiting for this episode ever since Jen started watching TNG.
William
2024-12-31 19:55:36 +0000 UTCI disagree. I think it's a tie with the Borg episode. ππ
William
2024-12-31 19:54:40 +0000 UTCThis is so great, Jen! Since you started watching TNG, I've been eagerly waiting to see your reaction to this episode. Out of the whole amazing franchise, I've found this show to be the most bittersweet, because this is the closest that Captain Picard ever comes to marrying and raising a family. He gets to live the life of a husband, father and grandfather over the span of 25 minutes, and all he has left of that life are the memories and a small flute-like instrument from a world that disappeared a thousand years ago in a supernova. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about it. ππ€π
William
2024-12-31 19:52:41 +0000 UTCI've named a few RPG characters after Picard's daughter, Merribore. Also, that was Patrick Stewart's real life son playing his son in this episode.

2024-12-31 19:19:40 +0000 UTCThe actor who played his son in this episode is Patrick Stewart's real life son too.

2024-12-31 19:06:13 +0000 UTCThird best TNG episode.
