I love this ep for many reasons. First off, if you ever encountered someone who had never encountered a sci-fi film or story and they asked you what was the point of it, what does science fiction do better than other genres, you could explain about exploring basic social concepts like communication in a narrative manner and show them "Darmok" as a stellar example. Second, and a little more simplisticly, it's just a nice story about the importance of listening. It's perhaps especially cool that they placed a middle aged white male actor in a position of having to listen to a black male actor for this (though the extensive makeup makes it rather less heavy handed than it might otherwise have come off.) Thirdly, the writing was just well done. The whole speaking in metaphors trick could, very easily, have come off as stupid sounding. The writing team (assisted by fine performances by the 'Tamarian' actors) managed to make it sound natural, or at least reasonable.

As someone interested in and fascinated by language, communication, and storytelling, this was one of my favorite episodes of Next Generation, and as a fan it was the only episode I sought out and bought a script of. In some ways, we already communicate this way. People who've never seen Star Trek, Star Wars, or many other popular movies, films, and TV shows will nevertheless know and understand references from them. So much of our popular entertainment depends on storytelling that uses well known and familiar plotlines, themes, and tropes: the villain, the wise old mentor, the young hero setting off on a quest, the damsel in distress, the rascal with a heart of gold, the loyal sidekick, etc. You can say things like: "My boss was being a real Vader today" "I need this project done at Warp Speed" "He had to MacGuyver his way out of that situation" and most people will understand what you mean.

This is one of those episode of TNG that could and should have won an Emmy just for the writing (And for other aspects of it too). I have seen interviews with College/University Professors in linguistic who actually show this episode to students to show and study the intricacies of communicating between people of different languages. This is also one of those episodes that I think off when I roll my eyes at people who talk about TNG being too intellectual and theatrical: The very beauty of TNG precisely IS that it is intellectual and theatrical! I understand that there are Sci-Fi fans who expect their Sci-Fi to be "Fast & Furious" styled action with "PEW-PEWs!" and "BANG-BANGs!", but there are tons of such Sci-Fi shows; one does not hire Sir. Patrick Stewart as the lead role and expect that kind of a show. To paraphrase "someone" : Star Trek goal is not shooting lasers and dominating alien species, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence... Like the possibility of being stranded on a foreign planet with someone that speaks no common language with you!

Rewatching this, I just got why the alien captain was willing to risk so much. How isolated must the Tammarians have been in a galaxy full of cultures, full of being that are all unintelligible to them? How alone must they feel when everyone just stares blankly at them and moves on. The whole "alone in a crowd" pain. No wonder that brave soul went to such lengths. Well, thats what I read into it anyway.

@@JaceFincham I'm sorry, but it took me ten seconds to find an ancient Chinese flood myth, featured among the 500 listed worldwide. In the land of China, there are many legends about a great flood. One of those comes from a group of people known as the Nosu. According to their legend, God sent a personal messenger to Earth to warn three sons that a flood was coming. Only the youngest son, Dum, heeded the messenger. He constructed a wooden boat to prepare for the coming flood. When the waters arrived, Dum entered his boat, and was saved. After the waters began to recede, the boat landed on the mountains of Tibet, where Dum had three sons who repopulated the Earth. Interestingly, even the Chinese character for “boat” possibly reveals the story of Noah and the other seven people on the ark. The three elements used to symbolize a boat are: vessel + eight + mouth (or people) = Boat.

This type of communication learning reflects real history. People would show up in caravans or exploring ships to remote places, meet people with languages they'd never encountered, and learn enough to get by through what is basically osmosis of shared experience. They also teach it in as a more consistent set of methods in military and intelligence language schools.

"I've seen lots of Star Trek: The Next Generation, I think it's a lovely show - but there's one episode, the billing for which is so fascinating I've actively avoided ever seeing it. I love the idea so much, I'd rather think about it. Forever. The episode is called 'Darmok,' and the synopsis simply says that Captain Picard is trapped on a planet with an alien who can only talk in metaphors. Wow. That sounds brilliant. How does that work? What happens? How does it end? I've got no idea - not seen it! But it keeps resonating with me. In 2008, I wrote a Doctor Who episode called 'Midnight.' Is it like 'Darmok'? I don't know. But stripped down to its essentials, it's a story about a hero, an alien, and words. That's practically the same billing. Maybe the two shows are profoundly different, but I know for a fact that all those years of wondering about 'Darmok' led me to that script." - Russell T Davies

Whenever I see this episode, I can't help but try to imagine how other Enterprise crew members would have behaved had they been beamed down with the Tamarian captain: Riker: upset that the Tamarian captain wasn't female, Riker just sulks the whole time. Data: finds the partially invisible beast more intriguing, and spends most of his time trying to study it rather than learn the Tamarian language. Worf: kills the Tamarian captain for the crime of trying to help him kill the beast. Geordi: is able to see the beast all the time thanks to his visor, but ironically gets killed by it anyway because that makes him overconfident. Deanna: does surprisingly well in combat because she can sense the beast's location but otherwise spends most of the episode complaining about the lack of chocolate on the planet. Beverly: gets wounded by the beast, but manages to stitch herself back up. Does not even bother trying to learn the Tamarian language because she's a doctor, not a diplomat.

Just realized I hadn't seen any Galifrey Gals in awhile! Decided to check on any new videos. I seem to have VERY good timing! Widely considered among the BEST Star Trek Episodes! For obvious reasons. So many emotional moments; Picard's fury at being beamed away which is effectively abandoning a "good man" to die, his heartbreaking explanation to the Tamarian crew that their Captain is dead, etc. It's also nice (if unspoken) that the Tamarian ship & crew is a mirror image (or rather, a copy) of the Enterprise and crew. Notice how the 1st officer ARGUED with his Captain when he suggested the dangerous "Darmok & Gelad at Tenagra" plan? EXACTLY what Riker would have done with Picard in the same circumstance.

Now Cestis 3 is one of the largest and most successful outline colonies. Now the children of Tarma are nowhere near as aggressive as the Gorn. And Kirk had a successful first contact with a hostile race. This is NOT the federation’s first contact with The Children of Tarma.

Like the internet, this was a culture that communicated in memes. And what's funny is that not only are "Darmok" memes now a thing, but people have made "Darmok"-style memes out of other Star Trek memes. If you have a confusing sign that can be read one of two ways, you can say, "Data and Lore, in the hallway", and everyone familiar with that meme will know what you're talking about. Or if you see something you're exasperated about, rather than post the Picard "what the hell" meme you can simply say, "Picard, his hand outstretched". Or if it's stupid, "Picard, his face in his hand."

Patience aside, Picard trying to decipher what Darmok is saying is like a Baby Boomer trying to decipher what a Gen Z kid is saying. "You ship them?... the Hell? Acting sus? Are you on drugs? F this - One to beam up!"

I have seen almost all of Star Trek (I think there are a few TOS episodes I haven't seen, and I'm behind an episode on Prodigy), and I agree, TNG-era Picard is the best Captain we've had. That said, I think Sisko came extremely close, and Discovery's Pike was the happiest I'd been about a Star Trek Captain since TNG.

Sisko and Kirk are the captains you want during war. Picard is the captain you want for peace time. All of them great.
@StarkRG

@@Jar0fMay0 I don't see it that way at all. I think they'd all be adequate for both peace and war. Sisko had a lot more empathy for the people around him, including his direct opponents (except when he was hunting down Eddington), but he could also get hyperfixated on Bajor which made him unpredictable. That unpredictability is why I'd prefer to serve under Picard than Sisko.

Many people think this is the best, or at least the most important, episode of ST:TNG. Ursula K. Le Guin, perhaps the greatest SFF writer of the 20th century, cited this episode as the reason that ST:TNG was more nuanced, more complex, more important than ST:TOS, and perhaps more than any other SFF video media.
