Would very much like to see them do a "top 10" episodes of TOS. There's a huge wealth of great 60s TV guilty pleasure stuff in there but also some genuinely very well made and massively influential episodes. It also serves as the template for pretty much everything that came after it. So many classic episode formulas originate in TOS as well as the most iconic characters and species in the setting.

On the Darmok episode, technically the Universal Translator is working perfectly. Which is why there's English vocabulary. But their communication is entirely based on metaphor, so you'll never actually UNDERSTAND what they're saying until you learn the context behind the metaphor. That's why Troi's example is brilliant. If you have no idea of what Romeo & Juliette is, "Juliette on her balcony" is just as incomprehensible as "Shaka, when the walls fell". So the logic of the episode isn't as silly as Rich and Mike make it out to be.

In defense of the episode, it does make sense _in a way._ Consider that each of our words is a "metaphor" in the sense that each word carries a meaning shared within our culture. Basically, speaking through metaphor the way they do is like taking one word of English and replacing it with its definition. So in the end, it's still too cumbersome of a language to be totally realistic - at least in the case of human languages since we tend to condense the amount of syllables needed to say something as a language evolves to save time and energy, so you'd think aliens would do it too. But it serves as a sort of *very* simplified metaphor for language itself, and of course works as simple way to create a language barrier that can be overcome and taught to an audience in 45 minutes. As an aside, many other languages are far more context-dependent than English is like Spanish or Japanese, where a native English speaker might wonder how they would easily describe something outside of whatever the current context (trade-off is when you're staying within a context, it's more efficient than English). So a language so structurally different from our own is not a completely _foreign_ concept.

"Remember Me" is actually such an insane concept, how a universe can collapse in a way that carries its own logic to the beings occupying it, no matter how absurd the circumstance. Like quantum horror.

As a kid I think I understood on some basic level that the writers never felt bad for Geordie being blind, and I think that translated to the character not feeling sad about being blind too. In fact I distinctly remember having the take away that he was lucky in some ways, being able to see things that no "normal" human ever could hope to. You could even go so far as to say that this translates to his characterization as a person who sees the value in crewmates that no one else does. He literally and figuratively sees more than most other people.

and not to get on my soapbox or anything, but I truly think that's a wonderful message. in your 80's TV installment of a beloved franchise, having a blind character in your main cast and having that character never be defined by their disability is shockingly progressive. I hate it when media presents characters that have some form of disability as dysfunctional and miserable, their character revolving around their disability. geordie was never defined by his handicap, it was merely a fact about him and he still led a rich fulfilling life serving star fleet, and I think that's wonderful.

I think the Darmok episode goes much deeper than that. It's about reestablishing a communication with our past, and how far the scientific/specific reasoning drifted away from poetic/abstract reasoning (hence Picard reading Homer verses at the end). The most brilliant TNG episode, along with "The Enemy", imo.

The universal translator still worked in the Darmok episode, it can translate the individual words themselves they just don't mean anything because it's a metaphor the Enterprise crew have no frame of reference for that's why there's English words in there, the alien "gibberish" words are just proper nouns like names and places it makes perfect sense. I'm really surprised they didn't get this Troi spelled it out pretty clearly. I love how Mike defended the plausibility of their language though, this was always my favorite episode it's one of the only few times it feels like they're dealing with a truly alien species

The universal translator can decipher the syntax of the "Darmok and Jalad" language, but the aliens use some kind of deeply rooted cultural slang that pulls on important events from their history. That's why people from outside their culture fail to understand them. Rich really touched on this point when he said they essentially communicate using memes.

It almost feels like an acknowledgment of the big problem with Wesley early on, in Season 1 especially - so many episodes are just solved by Wesley Crusher being a super genius who singlehandedly solves everything when the rest of the crew is stumped, because he's better than everyone at everything. Here, he realizes he's out of his depth and his best course of action is to keep the threat occupied while someone more qualified works on a solution.

The funny thing about Darmok, is it makes me think about real world languages. Like as much as people say the idea of a language being based on metaphors and allusions is kinda silly.. lots of human cultures kind of did that. Like the easy example to call out is something like Japanese Kanji. Every character is supposed to be a representation of something iconic. And they can string together complex sentences and thoughts out of those characters. With meanings and compounds that arose as new ideas came into their culture where multiple singular kanji would combine to create a new concept. Like how in Darmok itself "Temba, with arms open" meant to receive or welcome something. But "Temba, with arms open" combined with "Shakur, with closed fists" described together the concept of flanking and pouncing on the monster of Tanagra in the episode. It's just kinda fascinating because as "silly" as it might sound to an English speaker... it is very human at the same time. And makes you marvel at something like how the first Portuguese sailors and merchants who came across Japan must have tried to communicate with these very different language concepts.

In darmok, the reason there’s English words mixed in is because the universal translator is working properly, but they have such a strange syntax based on mythos that the translator can’t put it properly together.

This is super late to mention, but what was brilliant about Picard's moment of giddiness in Booby Trap, is that it perfectly explains why he dropped his guard down, and sets it up beautifully to the point that you'd believe he would be uncharacteristically less careful. You were more interested in him exploring something he had a sentimental attachment with that you didn't even realize what was going on until it was too late! Just like Picard. And it's why he just blows it up at the end, its him trying to move on from the foolishness and sentimentality that got them into trouble in the first place. I love these perfectly executed little details.

When watching this, I remember joy...

Darmok is one of my favorite episodes as a kid, and still today. It really makes "communicating" BADASS. Because you're right, Picard does walk onto that ship and solve the dire situation like _that_ because he knows how to communicate and be a diplomate. It instilled in ME, a little girl at the time, how _powerful_ it is to understand others, even when you don't have first had context about what they're saying, but grasp the emotions and weight behind it. For example; I might not have seen/been invested in the same tv show someone else has been in, but I know what it's like from other shows I've seen, so I might not get an anime reference, but if you're talking about a devastating character death because of their redeeming sacrifice, I GET THAT FEELING. And I could believe that a culture can grow and learn to communicate in metaphor and still be able to explain complex stuff like mechanical instructions because, at least in English, but I'm assuming this is for most language, _We come up with bullshit words all the time._ I mean the word "Bullshit" itself means something is false or deceptive, what does that have to do with the fecal matter of a specific male bovine species. Or a lot of words/phrases that equate animals and their behaviors to actions, To "Bully" to "hound." I can believe that there is a metaphor for EVERYTHING in this aliens culture and everyone knows it, like "just like riding a bike." Or "Waltz" or "foxtrot" it's the verbal equivalent of dance moves that this culture is trained to know. idk I could suspend my disbelief enough for it anyway.

It's as Troi says "Juliet on her balcony" .... if you don't know the reference, it tells you absolutely nothing. It's giberish.

You can’t take an alien metaphor and translate it figuratively. Certain major mythic tropes like “When the walls fell” or “after the great inundation” are probably common to all civilizations. Hence literal translations can impart similar meanings. But “Juliet on her balcony” could figuratively mean she’s lovesick, or suicidal, or looking at the world beyond her small confines, or waiting for a pizza to be delivered. It imparts far less directly and need to be used as a puzzle piece.
