1/2
Here’s one of those episodes that I bet people who don’t usually like Star Trek would still like. It is a very far out but yet basic idea. Even with the Universal Translators, sometimes you just can’t understand what someone is saying. Here, Picard meets a race that speak only in metaphor from their mythology — they’re whole way of thinking is different from ours. For example, if I wanted to express to you the concept of romance I would say “Juliet at her balcony.” It’s pretty nuts. In fact, there’s a whole website dedicated to the language of this episode.
Oh, and yeah, that’s the dude from Wrath of Khan who got the worm in his ear with Chekhov. . .but here he’s got a fish thing on his face.
