[@davidhart6291]

[@MalikBarrow16]

Andreas Katsulas, who played the Romulan captain in 'The Enemy", also plays a major character in another amazing sci-fi show called Babylon 5. His character, G'Kar of the Norn species, is one of the BEST parts of that show. I watched B5 after finishing all of Star Trek so seeing him here was such a surprise!!!!

[@RangerChris61]

Second the need for B5 on this channel

[@davidkistler6749]

Echoing both the call for B5 and also the surprise. I didn't realize he'd done any ST episodes until I heard his voice just now.

[@3Rayfire]

And his absolutely iconic voice.

[@Valecan]

I was looking for somebody to mention him in Babylon 5. I think your autocorrect won, I think the Narn would be offended. His character in that show is by far one of my favorite. I think Jen would love Babylon 5 for many reasons, but it would be funny for her to watch it after seeing much Trek because of all the overlap with actors.

[@wilburjunior9949]

Andreus such an amazing actor imo, he shines in B5 ,has an almost Shakespearean quality for me

[@carlosdeferrer3585]

personal autonomy also applied to the Romulan who refused the treatment.

[@noneya3635]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 that reaction to Beverly's stretching exercises and the conversation with Deanna. Man we love Jenn.

[@Grizzlox]

Geordie is a great example of how to write a flawed, interesting and complicated character that's still good and wholesome at heart. It's something many writers struggle with.

[@sidrat2009]

If the Romulan was female, Georgie would have had a facsimile on the Holodeck faster than Wesley could say "Beam Me Up, Scotty!"

[@Grizzlox]

​@@sidrat2009 If that's not a good use for the holodeck, I don't know what is

[@SweetBearCub]

As much as I loved Geordi as a character, he's really creepy with women, and I wish that was never made part of his character.

[@Grizzlox]

@SweetBearCub yeah because no ordinary guy that excels at science and engineering is awkward and doesn't know how to act around women.

[@SweetBearCub]

@@Grizzlox There's a distinct difference between being awkward around women and crossing the line into creepy. For example, he crossed that line with Dr. Brahms in the Booby Trap episode.

[@sidrat2009]

Only Warf asked the recipient his opinion. - The only one. Not even the Doctor asked permission from the patient who was able to speak if he would accept treatment.

[@SweetBearCub]

An interesting observation.

[@MarkEvans-xw5ix]

Exactly this, I left a comment about the same thing. It's the only weakness to this part of the storyline, they did not address the right of a patient to refuse treatment based on their own beliefs. Too focused on Worfs choice they didn't let the characters think about the Romulans choice to refuse.

[@TheBestPill-no2xp]

_"Not even the Doctor asked permission."_ A kink in the armor of the otherwise-inspiring utilitarianism of TNG.

[@TopGunZero]

It actually makes more sense to get permission from Worf before offering a solution to the patient.. There is also the concept of therapeutic privilege which suggests that Crusher doesn't need to inform the Romulan given the alternative is certain death. The discussion of ethics are interesting because you can argue to tell him the origin of resolution may be just as unethical as not telling him.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

LeVarr Burton was quite a famous actor before taking on the role of Geordi LaForge. He was quite beloved by children across the US for his work on the PBS series, "Reading Rainbow". It is a remarkable experience to see him on con panels, and begin to sing the title song, and have the entire audience instantly join in, never missing a word or beat.

[@jenmurrayxo]

I watched Reading Rainbow all the time! Butterfly in the skyyyyy 🎶

[@treetopjones737]

The toughest role to cast in the hit miniseries “Roots” was the central character of Kunta Kinte. Played by LeVar.

[@chunkybladwin3988]

The Romulan commander was played by Andreas Katsulas , a massively talented actor whose best work was probably G’kar, in Babylon 5, recommended.

[@Charles_Bro-son]

I liked Riker's reaction to that dude's attempt to provoke him. Not only being a true gentleman, but also showing true friendship to Troy and not rather seeing her as a prize.

[@nealsterling8151]

Very true!

[@christiansabotta6368]

My favorite part of that scene is when Riker says "That's the first bad move I've seen you make." and Raul's face falls.

[@SweetBearCub]

It was an absolute master class in how to not let someone get under your skin/inside your head.

[@ianburns1167]

Absolutely, THAT is the scene that episode is for. And Riker just wrecks him too. "You know, you're not a bad sort Ral. Except you don't have any *values*. Deanna is just the woman to give some meaning to your sorry existence if you're smart enough to take it. I doubt that you are."

[@williamozier918]

The Price is a bizarrely important world building episode. It is the first episode that "maps" out the size of the quadrants and introduces the concept of wormholes.

[@DC_Prox]

The 284th Rule of Acquisition says "Deep down, everyone's a Ferengi." When they didn't believe Geordi and Data on the other side of the wormhole, it's not just that they were generally foolish, it's because they've been trained to distrust.

[@nealsterling8151]

There is so much to love about 3x7 "the Enemy". First, Picards stance towards the Romulans. Normally one would have expected that he would try to sort out a compromise in this situation, but Picard made it clear that he definitely was ready to fight, should the Romulans cross the border. (i love standoffs like that) Also, i love that he is a Character who wants his Crew to make their own choices (at least when it comes to personal matter, which a blood donor is). Lesser show writers had simply made Picard order Worf to do what he thinks is best in this situation. (I'm 100% certain that a certain other Captain would have done this *cough*Janeway*cough*.) Second, Worfs choice NOT to help the Romulan. To me this is the (galorndon...klingon(?)) core of this Episode. It showed, that altough Worf was raised in the Federation, he is still a Klingon at his heart. It's not that i like his decision, but i LOVE that the writers/Producers had the balls to go against what a character would have had normally done in a TV series of the early 90s. Lesser writers would have either made Worf act completely out of character and made him help the Romulan, because it is the "right thing to do" (and the audience has to see what the "right choice" is) OR Worf would have been depicted as the bad guy and his decision as clearly evil. But back then writers had trust that the audience was not stupid. Great Writing!

[@SweetBearCub]

Tuvix deserved to live! You really should get that cough checked.

[@chaddubois8164]

Tuvix is with Harambe now.

[@manny.3248]

The second episode is the most important one out of these two episodes. That's because it introduces us to an unstable wormhole in which one end is in the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy and the other end is in the Gamma Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy, both ends shifting. There are also two other quadrants called the Delta and the Beta in the galaxy. If you ever watch Star Trek Voyager and Star Trek Deep Space 9, you'll see why this episode was important, especially the former, but actually both series.

Michael Dorn was appalled when he read the script and thought the writers tried to sabotage his character. After all the critical acclaim from fans he then realized that this episode actually defined his character by showing the complexities of try to serve two very different cultures. He stood out from the other bland TNG cast because of his inner conflicts much like Spoke did in the original series. Only Data had a similar conflict that made him more interesting than some of the main cast.

It really was a bold move to allow a main character to be less than a perfect good guy.

I always liked The Price because the conflict and the stakes were so different than what we typically see. There was no grand mystery, no serious threat, just a good solid trade negotiation.

Worf and the Romulan refusing treatment was more personal freedom than most people expect or grant. I love STNG and DS9 for hitting those questions. You don't have to like it, but you should respect it. Love old Trek for having that stance. Not everything you agree with, but you should accept. Picard accepting, Worf's decision, while clearly not agreeing with it. Literally what the Federation stands for.

[@tackysum]

Always enjoy your commentary. I believe you are correct in observation about the lack of chemistry between Troi and Ra'al. For me, the problem is the actor chosen to play Ra'al. I think the producers fell in love with his blue eyes and couldn't get past them. He is a fine actor, but the wrong choice for this role IMO. Thanks for making these reactions Jen. I look forward to them all week.

[@erictaylor5462]

Believe it or not The Enemy is somewhat based on another sci-fi film from the 80's called Enemy Mine. In that story humans are at war with an alien race. Two fighter pilots a human and an alien shoot each other down. Both survive but now they must work together to survive. It's a movie you should watch, you'll love it. Enemy mine itself is based on a true story that took place in WWII when a Japanese and American shoot each other down over an uninhabited island. They had to cooperate to survive.

No spoilers, just answering question, Jen! Humans and Romulans had sporadic, limited, isolated contact at best. TNG actually has the most contact with the Romulans, face to face, than Starfleet has ever had. In the first contact war they never saw Romulans. Considerably later, Kirk and his Enterprise saw the Romulans for the first time. I think you saw Balance of Terror? After the sixth movie, Undiscovered Country, Romulus went completely dark and communicated with no one for 70 years until TNG.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

34:01 "I feel like you could lift that episode _right_ out and it wouldn't make _any_ difference at all." That was actually an ethic they tried to follow with _TOS_ and _TNG._ Even really _high stakes_ episodes like _The Best of Both Worlds_ were pretty well insulated as far as their reach into neighboring episodes went. This didn't start to change until _DS9_ came along and there were arcs reaching across five or _six_ episodes.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

[@nealsterling8151]

Just a bit of Trek Lore: The Milky Way Galaxy is subdivided into four quarters, the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta Quadrant. Earth (and the Federation) is exactly at the border of Alpha and Beta Quadrant. In early Trek (especially TOS and the TOS movies) the term Quadrant was sometimes thrown in because it sounded sci fi-ish, but since TNG the lore is much clearer.

[@AXSLA3]

I was told, as a child, a story about a strong blind man colaboration in mutual trouble with a man with normal eyesight but physically crippled, and they, the two of them moved as a single man to get out of danger. (The person telling me the story was my grandmother, and she never watched a single Star Trek episode, any series).

[@MarkEvans-xw5ix]

I think it's also important to remember that the Romulan refused Worf's blood anyway. Would they have forced him to take the treatment? I don't think so, if they didn't force Worf to give his blood, I can't imagine they would force a patient to receive treatment they do not want. So even if Worf relented, Crusher would have another dilemma of the Romulan refusing the treatment knowing it came from a Klingon.

I will always love how they just threw up a couple of mirrored walls in one of the engineering corridor sets and turned it into an impromptu yoga studio. It's so obvious when you look at it, but it still looks okay. That's probably why they start the shot with Gates bent over the way she is, so we're all too distracted to notice the set. Ral is a sleazebag and he knew it. That's why he blew up at Deanna when she confronted him about his empathic abilities. Deep down, he knows the way she uses her empathic abilities is more moral than the way he uses his. She uses hers to save lives; he manipulates for personal and professional gain. So, he deflected and tried to tear her down to make himself feel better. I also don't think he was truly sincere about changing his ways at the end. I mean, he may have meant what he said in the moment, but a few months down the line, I bet he'd revert to his old tricks.
