It was literally when I saw the notification for this video (so prior to Paula saying out loud so I'm not a complete doofus), that I realised that the episode title would be pronounced the way it is, not "a-VAR-ta". Apparently I hadn't come across the word before - no idea how old I would have been, because apparently TNG didn't first air, as in S1E01, in Australia until about 2 weeks after this aired in the US - took a long time for me to hear it said out loud, and had it so locked in my head that the episode somehow had a different word.

I think you said that they attacked the Borg immediately, but that's not true. Picard attempted peaceful communications with the initial boarding Borg back in S2.

So I think a thing with these callbacks to season one (let's not forget about Minuet's reappearance in season four) is that when this show was on, the episodes were in rotation constantly. So while Katrina is just moving forward one at a time, the original Crystalline Entity episode had probably aired a hundred times by the time this episode came out. So the audiences in the early 90s might have remembered the entity more than we bingers would.

Man oh man, I'd forgotten how gray season five is. There are so few cut-and-dry choices, or so few choices that don't generate bifurcating discourse. Like this episode! Who was right? Who was wrong? Was there a villain? So good. Thanks as always!

I understand Picard's point of view in this episode but he doesn't communicate it very well (ironic?). It would have been better for him to say they need more information in case they encounter more like that entity in the future, and to provide reasoning that they are killing sentient life, etc.

Bit of trivia: The voice recording of Raymond Marr was provided by Jason Marsden, a very prolific voice actor. You might remember him as the voice of Max in "A Goofy Movie".

Folks in the Fandom gotta realize, Picard and Kirk lived in two completely different time periods. Even Cpt. Janeway (ST: Voyager) acknowledged that in the episode "Flashback". Picard is operating in a universe that had to be tamed by pioneers before him. And Picard can be the best at his job BECAUSE Starfleet officers like Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the others were the best at theirs. One is not better than the other and fans should be comfortable with each mans place in the Star Trek universe.

I actually vividly remember watching this episode as a kid. The final scene where data tells her that her son would not have liked what she did really impacted me and has stuck with me over the years. It was a gut punch of an ending, for sure.

By the way, it was really nice when you were including the links for each video. This lets you play it in the app instead of your browser, which often works better. It would be nice if you'd include them in the future.

2023-05-08 09:02:07 We see throughout this episode Picard's wisdom in setting aside personal feelings in order to see things objectively yet ironically that same wisdom doesn't even spare him as we see in "I, Borg" in the next season how his own personal trauma with the Borg affected his perception of Hugh & in Star Trek's 8th film.Of course this is all fiction but it just goes to show that when it comes to our own personal trauma we aren't immune to our own bias and prejudices. This is why I love TNG.
