Inner Light - Star Trek TNG

Evo

One of my all time favorite episodes of TNG will be on the sci-fi channel tonight at 7PM CST. Picard is knocked unconscious by a probe and lives another man's life on a long dead planet. This is the show where he learns to play the recorder.

Yeah, I like that one too, with his little flute. That one's a classic.

Patrick Stewart kicks bottom. Very sentimental episode but interesting to see Picard struggle against and then accept another life style.

But why does the character have to be French?
Since Steward is from near Leeds why couldn't he play it as a Yorkshireman?

"Them chuffing borg ar going to get a reight kicking"
"Mek is so Mr Warf - sithee"

I miss the days of good TV. I would wait all week for the new episode of STNG to air. Now I might log 5 hours a week total TV time. I just can't get into any of the new reality stuff, save for of course Hell's Kitchen. I hope someday we'll have some great sci-fi again.

Amen! I have Babylon 5 in its entirety, including all the "movies", on DVD. That show rocked! Best of all, the characters all evolved over time, and all had strengths and weaknesses that exhibited themselves with changing conditions. Many times, ST was little better than "Gunsmoke" with space-ships. Bab5 really out-stripped them.

What about "Eureka" on the SciFi channel? There's no outer space element, but it certainly tries to have a hard science fiction element to its plots, and it has great characters and humor, and a long-term plot arc that's not too overbearing (akin to how B5 included its arc). The DVDs are also encased in 100% recycled/biodegradeable materials. The third season of Eureka begins tomorrow.

Yup, definitely one of the best TNG episodes ever.

I hope he remembers to bring his shoes in tonight.

Ronnin

LOL, I am rewatching the entire series now. I'm on episode 6 of season 4! I love B5 too!

Redbelly98

It's a shame that Firefly did not even last 1 full season.

Holy crap, TNG is on Sci-Fi? What am I doing on PF!?!?!?

Evo

OMG!!!! I love so many TNG shows, but that one makes me cry like a baby. <blows nose> I don't think I will ever get tired of that episode. <blows nose>

That was SO GOOD!!!!!

Ok, I am going to stop crying. <blows nose>

lisab

I love that one !!!! Can't wait...it's on in about 2 hours...

Evo

Don't miss it!!!! It's even better than you remember! <blows nose>

Second that, i can not understand though how people can re watch some thing, i mean you know what is going to happen.

Redbelly98

With a good show, you catch things the 2nd or 3rd time around that you missed on the first viewing.

Then there's the "Rocky Horror" phenomenon as well.

rewebster

that was a good one--and that's kind of how I see it, too-

-the struggle, the letting go of inescapable fate, and the acceptance of a future unfulfilled (the planet)----from a trapped but only partially involved situation (the Pickard)
