The episode that I have just begun to watch, after fer not watching one yesterday is The Arsenal Of Freedom and I just don't have it in me to write about this one, though it stands out as one of the episodes I most remember, it does not lend itself well to a review in verse and if you've been reading the reviews of late that were written in prose, they have been lacking.
So what's a Trekkie to do?
Well, I can at least write a little, which is the other thing that the reviews have been, light on detail.
They've come to a planet totally lacking in people. Selling weapons is profitable, but the people of Minos, the name of this particular planet, which was never mentioned again because how often would you reference a planet with no people?
The people of the planet had become rich by selling weapons, which was clearly good for a time but things got out of hand and all the people died.
Oops!
I'll grant you weapons are needed, but you best be careful not to make a weapon that is smart enough to kill you, which is what must have happened on Minos, which had been under study by the Drake, captained by a friend of Riker's that he had gone to the Academy with.
The first Away Team that went down consisted of Riker, Data and Yar.
Riker met up with an image of his friend who was intent on getting information from him and advised as he was from the bridge that there was no one there, Riker didn't tell him anything and in fact lied about about the name of the ship and started to speak nonsense.
The image dropped and a floating robot was there and it attacked, encasing Riker in some bubblle that prevented the Away Team from being beamed up.
It was then that Picard decided to order Dr. Crusher to beam down with him.
They weren't of any help in the effort to free Riker and were in fact fired upon and dropped down below the surface, with Crusher getting seriously hurt with several lacerations and a loss of blood as they fell 11.5 metres or 38 feet, rounded up.
That's a long fall.
Picard was fine though, which is odd since he is much older than Dr. Crusher.
In any event, he was fine and Laforge, who he had left in command had to face attack from the planet killing 607, which Laforge determined would best be resolved with the separation of the saucer section, which was a tactic that stopped being used early on in the series.
The long and the short of it was that The first Away Team had to survive 4 rounds of those killing robots while Dr. Crusher was seriously hurt, as mentioned before and we found out something interesting about her life and Picard was able to find the solution to the whole matter, with some help from Data who was able to take the fall like it was nothing.
Notably absent was Wesley Crusher which stuck out to me.
They ended up "Buying" the 607, even though that purchase didn't get the Enterprise Battle Bridge off the hook as they had to take care of it themselves with smart maneuvering above the planet with Worf and two crew we never saw again,
You know that I liked it and I am ready to to watch another episoode of the better than I remember it first season of TNG, though I am not sure that I am ready for the writing of another one.
What's a slightly out of his prime Treklkie to do?
Why write on of course.
Symbiosis sees the Enterrpise studying a sun that is undergoing unusual activity that will cause some power issues, but they gots to study things like this and surely something is going to happen to make the episode exciting,
A freighter in distress on a nearby planet should do the trick.
And now I remember this episode and it was about an idiot captain making a run from one planet to another and the crew encounters a problem that is beyond their ability to repair.
Six are aboard the freighter and due to their inability to repair the problem with a coil beamed over from the Enterprise, they have to beam the six over.
The cargo is first beamed over leaving the Enterprise to try one last time to save them all.
Two are lost as they could not maintain the transporter lock on them and no one seemed to care about the two people lost.
Except for the Enterprise of course. The people from two different worlds were only thinking about the medicine that was being used to keep the afflicted people alive..
The unafflicted showed no signs of compassion for the others and were clearly better off by their "City" Dress versus the "Country" dress of the sellers.
They were also unaffected by the disease and surely the world that had been on the verge of space travel as was known by Data thanks to the records of an encounter from long ago.
Oh. The Ornarans, or afflicted Country folk, were the ones who had space travel while the jerkhole City folk, the Brekkans provided the medicine.
Or as it turned out, a narcotic as the plague had been cured two hundred years ago.
The jerkholes had addicted the Ornarans and their whole existence was benefitted by the drug that they claimed was a medicine.
They unsubtle presentation was of the subject matter was criticized but I don't care, I'm not minding the "unsubtleness" of it at all as I don't find it unsubtle. it's straight forward, I'll give you that, but, I'm good with it.
The Ornarans however needed parts for their remaining freighters and Picard denied them the use of those parts which was sure to disrupt the agreement between both worlds as without the freighters, which were sure to breakdown completely and deny the Ornarans of their drug.
It would suck for both, but moreso I think for the Brekkans who lived off the good work of the advanced people, who's suffered from a plague two hundred years earlier that they were denied the cure of because of the conniving and heartless Brekkans
The two Brekkans that beamed down with the Ornarans were not going to be happy once their lie was discovered.
In fact, one could imagine that they were imprisoned as the best alternative. It was either that or they'd be killed. I'm sure they'd take prison over death.
I could watch another episode but I'm good with two.
