Star Trek Battles - 4 - Federation vs Tamarian

[@jherrenor]

The wonderful thing about this episode is that by the end when Picard is talking in the Tamarian language, we know exactly what is being said.

[@Greippi10]

Tamarian's are the true master race. Their language made little sense until I realize memes are the same thing.

[@jamessuhr4074]

Yes, like memes, it's not something you understand at first, it's something you get used to, something that takes time and experience to be able to understand, but also something that's very hard to explain to others.

[@randomkitty2555]

Just imagine a Tamarian engineer trying to explain how a warp drive works.

[@thomasn3882]

That's the fatal flaw of the Tamarians, which makes their kind of communication unworkable in the real world. It is inconceivable that any people would communicate with each other that way.

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

@@thomasn3882 there's a lot of inconvenient things people do because it's in their culture. and this episode does show Tamarians do develop new metaphors just like we develop new words ... + I'd be down for a language constructed completely out of memes

[@spikedpsycho2383]

@@thomasn3882 In the expanded universe, it is explained that Tamarians have a fundamentally different brain structure to most humanoids, as such experience concepts such as time and self differently. The story explains that Tamarian children learn the stories behind the metaphors, and thus their meanings, repetition. No different than we learn words. Variations of meaning in metaphors were conveyed through subtle vocal and gestural cues that the universal translator had previously missed, no different than we use "Cool" or Cool for temperature or good condition. In fields such as engineering and programming, a musical language was used to convey precise equations, numbers and instructions; thus explaining how Tamarians could effectively operate starships and carrry out scientific/technological feats

[@aarondaines6067]

I think Riker in this scene actually did a great job of displaying to the Temarians the lengths humans are willing to go to to defend eachother, while also displaying no real desire to fight once Picard was safe. The Temarians likewise were not hostile but they did have a goal. By backing off and trying to pull distance rather than go all out with photons and full spread, it might just have been enough to make the Temarians hesitate destroying the Ent. They also accepted the hail pretty much instantly demanding an explanation, so really this scene is a pretty awesome first-ish contact between two powerful species imo 💯

@RJMPublic The Enterprise really needs a third weapon - maybe Kirk's corbomite device?

[@michaelheath2866]

Well at the beginning of the episode it's stated that the Tamarians are about equal to the Federation in terms of technology so it's not surprising their ship would be formidable, probably a flagship for such an important mission. The Tamarians clearly felt they had much in common with the Federation and I don't think they had much luck contacting other races before this. So they were willing to do whatever was necessary to communicate. Picard never forgot the sacrifice the Tamarian captain made, and at least in STO, he gladly saw them join the Federation not even 30 years later, pretty quick by most standards.

[@drewber80s]

I like how the /Enterprise/ channelled its phasers through the forward torpedo launcher; I find it gave a more bad-ass-looking way of firing them than usual! It also seemed to give a more rapid-fire effect! I’m guessing it was all part of the modifications to knock out the Tamarian’s scattering field generators. The Tamarian ship is certainly bad-ass, too - everything from its weapons to its design! I like how the green colour of the weapon’s beam complimented the red glow from the engines. This reflected the bridge’s colour scheme, I find, as well! Awesome episode, in every way!!

"Darmok" spelled backwards is "Komrad"(comrade). It seems like a stretch, but an interesting one nonetheless.

[@MateDrinker33]

Evan Washington: I'm not sure I believe it myself, but that's actually an extremely interesting observation! Other Trek personal and place names have certainly had stranger entomologies; for example, the name of Ferengi people are widely believed to be copied from the Indo-Iranian generic term for a Western person (variously spelled in our alphabet as "Farangi", "Farang [also actually appears in Thai due to being barrowed from Hindi]", or even as "Ferengi" itself!).

[@normanroscher7545]

@@MateDrinker33 The Klingon word for boot is "das". One of the authors writing "The Undiscovered Country" needed this word, for the gravity boots. So he started looking around in his office and his eye was caught by a VHS cassette of the German movie classic "Das Boot" (literally translated "the boat", "das" is just the German gender neutral, singular, definite article). :-)

@@MateDrinker33 more precisely, it connotes (European) foreigner. it's a small leap from foreigner to generic baddie.

I like that you're posting a video series of "Star Trek battles" but include battles like this one where half the battle is negotiating, and it's resolved through talking instead of pew pew- Star Trek TNG included a decent amount of the other kind (which is somewhat realistic and fine in moderation) but this captures the essence better.

[@KostasHolopain]

Late to the party, but here's my two cents. I think that the Tamarian language is just a metaphor to convey the message that the more we learn about someone's history and culture, the more context and perspective we can provide ,therefore the more effective we are able to communicate. It happens here on earth to a lesser, but still very important degree- for example when Henry Rollins, in all good faith, visited a favela in Brasil and tried to do something positive for the people, he ended up nearly causing a riot.

[@MrMello247]

Not to mention that the Tamarian ship was probably at point-blank range or close to it at that point. Torpedo detonations at that range would've done a lot more damage to the Enterprise--especially given the compromised state of its shields--than they would've done to the Tamarian ship. Though I do admit that at one point, I thought Riker was going to give another "commence rapid fire with all weapons on full" order like he did with the Husnock a few episodes back.

[@Damorann]

Riker did well : he tried to retrieve the Captain from a perceived kidnapping. Disabling the emitters only shows he didn't want to destroy the Tamarians. Sure he could've used torpedoes, but those do heavy damage and if they had destroyed the ship, it would've undone what Picard and Dathon endured together. He didn't know the Tamarian's shield strength so it makes sense to take a shot at disabling before killing in this situation. Military shortsightedness often leads to more pain than gain.

[@valen123456]

There is simply the option that the Tamarians simply had a bigger main gun with more power channeled to it, a Glock is more advanced than a tudor cannon but the latter is still the more powerful. As for the language it is more subtle than ours not less complex. I have heard that a spinoff novel discussed the learning and instruction aspects, apparently Tamarians learn to speak by reenactment and repetition with a music language to represent maths ("Friends with the Sparrows")
