Really enjoyed this episode. Not deities, more like this species cast several messages in bottles. I like seeing Jean-Luc in archeologist mode and disagree regarding the view that it's "meh!" The conflict and distrust between the participants in the chase is so reflective of the different nations of Earth. Stupidly combative, blinded by it and not seeing the worth of anything apart from their own ideated nationalism. Though it didn't surprise me at all that it was the Romulan that contacted Picard at the end. They are, after all, related to the Vulcans and some see the worth of a unification between the two.

2024-03-15 01:00:00 +0000 UTCThe ending rang more powerful now realizing how Picard would later lead the effort to save Romulus, has Romulans living with him in his retirement and has an “adopted son” Elnor-a Romulan.

2022-12-19 15:00:08 +0000 UTCWow - people remember "Joan of Arcadia!" That show definitely didn't make me tear up more times than I'd like to admit... nope.... And I agree with Kat about the jumbled pacing/tone of the episode. The jump from the personal stuff with Professor Bitter Old Man to this interstellar mad mad mad mad galaxy stuff was jarring. It seemed to me the writers just had the idea for this explanation for why there are so many humanoid races in the galaxy and tried to write a story just to get to that as the climax.

2022-12-03 15:17:57 +0000 UTCPersonally I really like this one, didn't find it boring or slow at all when I first saw it and I still don't. Loved seeing the interactions between the alien races and the explanation as to why they all look similar.

2022-12-02 07:00:14 +0000 UTCThe real question here is whether these aliens created the other races. I think the dialogue suggests maybe that life on those other planets would've developed anyway, but that that life now has parts of their DNA in the mix. Also, no one brings up the fact that the Federation would never do such a thing. It would be an extreme, extreme Prime Directive violation.

2022-12-01 17:11:54 +0000 UTC"cloaked vessels can’t fire"? Maybe "this one can".

2022-12-01 01:49:46 +0000 UTCOne of my all time favorite episodes. All 4 major factions of the alpha quadrant together on the same mission essentially and it answers (canonically) why so many aliens look so alike. I love the interactions between Nudaq and Ocett.

2022-11-30 21:14:31 +0000 UTCPicard has made or been involved in numerous attempts at reach out to the Romulans before and been disappointed ("The Neutral Zone", "The Next Phase", "Unification") so caution on his part is understandable.
Raja
2022-11-30 18:08:04 +0000 UTCI never really attributed the alien as being God in a way, but then again, I don't view things of that nature with a theological lens. If anything though, the episode in context provides evidence for intelligent design. lol

2022-11-30 05:15:04 +0000 UTCOh wow! I always assumed it was implied the Romulan vessel destroyed it while cloaked, but now I think about it all these years later, cloaked vessels can’t fire. … Whoa. Learned something new all this time.

2022-11-30 04:07:59 +0000 UTCInteresting Factoid I found on memory alpha The final episode contains no explanation for the destruction of the Yridian ship attacking Galen's shuttle following a single phaser blast from the Enterprise. However, the original teleplay contains a line by Data immediately following the ship's destruction that explains this ("The Yridian vessel was overloading its power generators. That, combined with the phaser blast, caused it to explode").

2022-11-30 02:45:38 +0000 UTCI guess, before this discovery, the ability of virtually every humanoid species in the galaxy to interbreed wasn’t seen as unusual in-universe. Nice job, Paula, with the Joan Osborne lyrics. Hadn’t thought of that song in years. St. Theresa was another good song of Osborne’s. And nice ensemble, Kat. It’s got a distinct, yet understated, 70s vibe.

2022-11-30 01:00:04 +0000 UTCGreat reaction video, ladies. One thing, though, and i might be the only one who thinks this. At the end, when the Romulan makes that overture of peace? I kinda feel that Picard left him hanging. I dont know....is it just me?
Sal Sanchez
2022-11-30 00:50:54 +0000 UTCTo me this is the quintessential "MEH" episode...neither good enough nor bad enough to be overly memorable in any way. Katrina is right that the final interaction between Picard and the Romulan is the major redeeming quality of the episode.
John Welch
2022-11-29 20:48:52 +0000 UTCI'm always going back and forth whether I want to headcannon a connection between the two species or not. Like, spread out and evolved into them. But maybe a little TOO implausible.

2022-11-29 19:36:04 +0000 UTCI was so looking forward to this one... then Paula... Ill get over it. Will Shepard?

2022-11-29 19:35:24 +0000 UTCMaybe this episode also explains why it is possible for interspecies crossbreeds like Spock, K'Ehleyr and many others in the Trek Franchise? Also, the actress who plays the ancient alien (Salome Jens) will go on to play a prominent (and not so benevolent) role in the latter seasons of DS9.

2022-11-29 19:34:37 +0000 UTCJoan of Arcadia is the TV show you ladies were trying to think of.

2022-11-29 19:32:59 +0000 UTCPersonally, I consider this one of my most underrated episodes. I feel like it flies by and has a really good story.

2022-11-29 19:32:34 +0000 UTCI'm anxious for episode 24!
The Real NC Picker
2022-11-29 19:30:58 +0000 UTCIt's hilarious that the biggest discovery of all time for all worlds is never mentioned again. Also I think the show Kat was thinking of if Joan of Arcadia.

2022-11-29 19:13:44 +0000 UTCSo "The Chase" or "Why All the Aliens Are Humanoids: The Episode." The actor playing Professor Galen was an old Hollywood actor, Norman Lloyd. He was born in 1914 and though he acted in theatre and did a TV movie and a short, his first major film role was in the 1942 Alfred Hitchcock film "Saboteur" where his character fell from the torch of the Statue of Liberty. When he filmed this episode of TNG in 1993, he was 79 years old. He died AFTER you guys started reacting to the show in 2021! He was 106 years old. His last movie in which he played a role was released in 2015, after his 100th birthday. Legend.
Nolan
2022-11-29 18:55:08 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favorite TNG episodes. It conveys hope for the future cooperation of all alfa/beta quadrant species and also explains why the majority of aliens in star trek are humanoids, unlike the few exceptions like the Tholians that are crystalline based. Thanks for a great reaction. :)

2022-11-29 18:52:07 +0000 UTCI'm so looking forward to next weeks episode. :)
Mike
2022-11-29 18:10:00 +0000 UTCSo you have this labeled as "Lessons" and it should be "The Chase". Just FYI. Great episode
