This episode lives rent free in my head for decades, but why did you have to release it while I'm stuck at work :(
Uhura always wore earrings. Earrings that signify something, I guess. Hard to think of many times when crew members altered their uniforms. Scotty finally wore a kilt with his dress uniform, and Spock wore the IDIC necklace in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" as Gene wanted to make money off of merchandise. Those were both third season additions. Maybe Ensign Walking Bear would have had something, if they were willing pay the animators a bit more.
Michelle Forbes has another fantastic performance in Battlestar Galactica, if you ever decide to continue that show.
I'd rank this episode as just being below YE, BOBW, etc. Michelle Forbes is just a better actor than most of these people, and she isn't trapped in a child friendly, one dimensional role like most of them. She has way more attitude and edge to her than the guy who runs around cartoonishly telling anyone who will listen how much a warrior he is and how much honor he has. Ro gives the impression she would take Worf or Data out and not lose too much sleep over it. They're all G rated, and she's PG.
Your enthusiasm for ST is underwhelming...
Every other episode you guys make comments that just make me go "I can't wait until these guys get to DS9" Maybe I'll be wrong but I think there are going to be at lease some arcs that you love.
They regularly make comments which make me think they'll love it - and then also comments which make me think they'll passionately hate it. It will be interesting to see that's for sure.
While reviewing the episode Josh unknowingly wears a sweater that at the bottom has a Klingon logo and a Cardassian logo.
An S with an attitude is our Ensign Ro. One of my favorite episodes. Thanks for the reaction dudes. 🖖
This episode is SO important to the future of the entire Star Trek canon across future shows.
3 scenes with Guinan - 10-Forward, Ro’s quarters, and Picard’s ready room.
The earring issue was always crap. If Worf can where his bandolier, she can wear her earring.
Agreed. However, I suspect Riker made an issue of it only because it was Ro. He had a problem with her before she came on board and was looking for a reason to find fault. If it were anyone else, I doubt he would have said anything about the earring.
3:05 not Josh taking a shot at both political parties🤣
When Josh mentioned last season he'd lke a crew member who would shake things up a bit, i smiled. I knew Ro was coming soon. She is one of my favourites.
It. Be. Gins!
In TOS the Klingons and Romulans were proxies for the Soviets and Chinese Communists. The Cardassians are just straight up space Nazis.
Cardassians and Bajorans were inspired by the IDF and PLO.
I remember when this episode came out and how happy everyone was to have a Starfleet officer who ruffled a few feathers. Finally! You gotta love Ensign Ro. One, because every line out of her mouth is perfection and two, because Guinan says you have to!
