KEY SCENE REACTIONS - The Wounded (TNG S4E12) | Star Trek Journey 193

Cardies first introduction, they get a lot more love later.

Ah yes, the start of the "Colm Meaney can f#(%ing act" phase of Star Trek.

For me, the big question- Was the thing with the Cardassian suordinate looking at the control panel legitimate or was it a work to get Picard to trust Macet more?

Note: Marc Alaimo, the actor who plays Gul Macet, last appeared as the Romulan commander who confronted the Enterprise at the end of season 1 when they were both investigating what they didn't know at the time were Borg incursions along the neutral zone. Great character actor and in general the three actors who played Cardassians really sold the Cardassians as a race- not like the Romulans,people who will appear all smiles then stab a knife in your throat.

Been waiting to see how you guys respond to Chief O’Brian’s enlarged role in S4. Can’t wait for the full edit on this one!

Thanks for this. A great reaction to a great episide.

As much as I kind of wanted to see a Captain Riker / First Officer Shelby version of this show after the Best of Both Worlds, you just can't ignore the gravitas and pure acting skill Patrick Stewart brings to the table, episode after episode. Is he the greatest actor who has ever starred in a Star Trek series (and I've seen them all)? Probably.

I always forget the Cardasians have that weird helmet and skin colour in their first appearance. The birth of another classic Star Trek species.
