Too bad its only written words on a page. Stories invented by writers, rather than a more direct showing of ideas. Most people lack such creative talents, which now more than ever arr needed if Homo Sapiens is to survive. THERE ARE TOO MANY SHEEP AND TOO FEW FREE THINKERS IN OUR WORLD :( BAAAAAA BAAAAAA BAAAAAAA

Not, "out of nowhere" he was always good.

Very good observation. I did not pay attention to that. Good analysis.

@@BBCKT What is more important - somebody had thought about it and designed it.

@@piotrd.4850 What good is learning a life lesson when you lose your life? This was bad writing how they handled Ensign Sito. Grow and develop a character just to kill her off. What a waste.

@@frankstyles8228 For one, TNG was episodic series and "Two Man Show" as Marina Sirtis put it. For two - to quote "Peak Performance" "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still loose; this is not weakness. This is life". For three - it can be argued that it was whole point; you can use all your identity, accomplishments and life in split second. Still, it is important that it does not induce apathy. Win some, loose some. Yeah, I too wish we got more 'lower decks' with same characters and 2-3 espisode story arc - but insofar as episode and scene was, it was very, very good. One of more wholesome Worf moments, especially when he joins junior officers at the table.

Worf's attack was to blindfold her. She didn't anticipate it.

Sven Knepper I noticed this as well ☺️

Yooo that makes it even better.

Agreed back when star trek had decent writers...

@Mr Sunshines Who is the dumb ass? the one who uses the same word 3 times in one sentence?

"Do you feel you have been touched inappropriately? Did your boss convince you to do something that made you feel wrong afterwards? If you feel you have been wrongfully touched or exploited, please call Handsoff and Standdown at 555 - Don'ttouchme, and let us fight for you!"

"Show me on this teddy bear where he has touched you"

Do they have a metoo movement too?

If that was the parody I would crack my ass off laughing!! Is that even a phrase ahahhahaah!

"Black Stud Blindfolds Teen and Has His Way With Her"

Absolutely brilliant scene❤️

Worf: Nothing about war is ever "fair".

Victory is its own merit. We live in a dangerous galaxy. We are either predator, or prey. To blind yourself in the name of fairness shows only a lack of respect to your own self, and to your enemy.

Actually, that's a very important lesson too because it helps you eat your ego and look for a solution to the unfairness. If you play into the idea of fighting fair and honorably, despite not being able to see cloaked vessels, you're going to lose more often than not. However, if you admit you're outmatched and say, perform surgery on a torpedo so it tracks a vessel, even when cloaked, now you have the unfair advantage. Admitting something is unfair is the first step in figuring out how to even the odds.

Worf: "It takes courage to admit combat with an enemy you cannot see is unfair." Sito: "Kinda like an enemy using cloaking shields to surprise attack an enemy?" Worf: "Exactly. You should not fire blindly into the dark for fear of a cloaked ship. You should build better sensors to remove your blindfold. THEN who will be surprised?"

​@@MacEwanMousewhere's my damn torpedo?!

Picard says at the beginning “quite frankly I don’t know how you got on this ship”. Then later tells her that he requested her posting. So he lies to her, right after he lambastes her for lying. All so he can test her character before he asks her to go on a suicide mission. If there is any justice in the Star Trek universe there should be a follow up about how she was awarded the Starfleet Medal of Honor for putting up with his bull crap and then doing what he asked anyway. Oh, wait, I see now. He was shaming her into feeling unworthy and that she’d never be able to redeem herself and then offering a chance at redemption, three years of impeccable service be damned. Clever, Picard.

He murdered her.

@@whiplashfatigue1430 She got someone killed and the lied and covered it up. I'm sure the family of the dead kid doesn't care.

@@JAnx01 Revenge for also getting his son Wesley in trouble.

Aw man, it would’ve great if he just sat back and had a yogurt while she waited to defend herself...from nothing.

“Perhaps next time judged unfairly you are, take so many bruises for you to protest-it will not. Mmhmhmhm!” ( chuckling)

@Stella Hohenheim A touch here and there to see how fit and toned Sito is, huh?

@Stellvia Hoenheim no, he couldn't. He's worf.

🤣

You do know he had her assigned to the enterprise so she’d be able to better put the academy stuff behind her, yeah? Like Worf, he knew she was a good officer. He just wanted to develop her. That was very compassionate.

OK fake enough he was testing her but Picard was a dick.Worf looks after his people.

Well put

@@seanbrown525 It was Picards idea all along.

The reason not to like Picard in this episode is he manipulated her into volunteering for a suicide mission.

That seems familiar which "universe" is that?

@@kathrynIS Obi-Wan Kenobi, from the first Star Wars film.

@@DrownedInExile oooh thanks

Maybe if she had stretched out with her feelings she could have beaten Worf easily. Is so, she could have made her first step into a larger world.

Same universe but a different galaxy. Also, that was in the past. Star Trek is in the future.

LOL it shows she has knowledge of other languages but it also demonstrates an abject lack of intelligence in being able to utilize that knowledge when she put a blindfold on for a "fight to the death".

@@johnnyreb1209 maybe she knew worf wouldnt actually kill her because that would be ridiculous

It would obviously not be to the literal death, since it's a test to pass to the advanced class from the teacher conducting the test.

That was sort of the point i was making on the original post. Either she knew it wasn't a fight to the death so it didn't show she had any character OR she blind folded herself for a fight to the death because shes dumb....

It was foreshadowing her death later in the episode.

Show her this video!

So your teacher blindfolded you like in this video?

Did yiu try blindfolding her and kicking her ass?

Then your teacher has failed you

You should have e told her like a 10 year old did on his math test. His answer was, Jesus is the answer. To all things.

@@timhallas4275 that's is so wrong. I've seen young men with no character. Unfortunately there's a lot of people who have no character and it's these ones that have slime balled their way up some ladder that will hire their own.

@@timhallas4275 Your misogyny is showing.

@@jjj1951 I didn't say that one cannot redeem oneself for past mistakes... I said that one should not be given a pass on those mistakes because of conditions created by politically correct bias. I tell you now, that in modern American society, there is a movement toward favoritism of those who have achieved the least and now demand an equal share of the product of another persons hard work or skill. Females have accomplished less than men in science, construction, civilization in general, and yet today, they demand an equal share of the credit. The same is true of the "people of color" as they like to call themselves,, conveniently leaving out Asian and Polynesian peoples. Most of what we call civilization has come from the efforts and talents of Caucasian and Asian MEN.. So why should they now be denied credit for their accomplishments, in order to give a share of the prize to those who have contributed far less?? I say, you should be grateful that you are able to enjoy the benefit of their efforts. Call that what you may, but I ask only that the fruits of my own labor in this world belong to me, and that I may share them of my own accord, but not have them stolen by leftist politicians.

Early onset alzheimer's.

As you age, new memories are weaker and old memories are stronger. Think it like age, when you are 10, 1 year was forever, 1/10th of your life, but as you age, that year holds to you less, a year no longer feels like a big deal when it's 1/50th. It is why you can quote movies for when you were a kid, but new movies do not stick without a few rewatchings. That is your memory, that is why nostalgia can fuck with your judgement.

Or, perhaps it is because hers was such a memorable, but short-lived character. Ens. Sito had shown extreme promise upon her posting to The Enterprise. It’s too bad that she was “sacrificed” so soon.

Fun fact! After they filmed and watched the episode this was the reaction of the producers and writers' staff. They said "Oh god, why did we kill her off!!?!" They even debated trying to find some way to claim she had been captured, not killed, so she could join DS9 but in the end decided that her death had too much weight. But they all admitted it was a mistake.

Basically, I pity that each season did not contain some intermittent lower decks story arc.

Oh, really? I forgot about that, it's been a while.

Then Picard let her die.

This episode is unique. Way more heartbreaking than Spock dying in Wrath of Khan, imo.

@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 spock's death had meaning, sito redshirt's did not. Puts the tos redshirts in a different light. I dont think I could handle a series where they gave every TOS redshirt a compelling backstory like sito’s.

@@0biwan7 It put TOS redshirts in a different light? See, I don't get most Trek fans because they seem to think only in terms of lore and canon. I only care about the writing then and there, and Spock's death had no build up whatsoever during the movie. Felt like a Hollywoodian tearjerker (something TOS never had!), especially having a damn Vulcan-Romulan shed a tear at the funeral for maximum heartstrings-pulling.

@@0biwan7 And I realize the irony of disliking a Vulcan crying while not caring about canon lol But I do hold sacred character integrity though.

There are no Klingons like Worf. There is only Worf.

He is.

@@coreyander286 what

There should be a stand alone Klingon movie or series.

Have you tried reading the fan scripts? It's heartening.

JJ Abrams took the same steaming shit on Star Trek as he did Star Wars.

I actually love the ship and the idea of the spore drive, too bad those good ideas are being squandered

Admiral: "Why did Lieutenant Edward die, Captain?" Captain: "Because he was an idiot." Q (off-screen): "I don't think he was an idiot, but YOU ARE, mon Capitaine!!"

Olive View is not part of UCLA. It’s a County hospital. Taxpayer funded.

I'm glad someone else here commenting in recent hours remembers what happened. Things did not end well. Pretty sure Worf felt ok, as she died with honor. How Picard felt is unknown. I think most of the time he was pretty chill with sending people to their deaths. In fact, there was a whole episode that said watch rank is pretty much being cool with ordering people to near certain death.

What was her name?

@@NinjaOnANinja She looks like Shailene Woodley

@@gregvandalen2252 found her, she is Shannon Fill. Ty though mate

It's in my top 5 next gen eps.. just great.. I'll admit I teared up at the end

Somehow, in DS9 episode in gas giant, he forgot it.... and had to be mentored by O'Brien.

It hits all over again watching the Lower Decks animation.

Oh. So that's why they call it Inner Fight.

How do you think he learned that lesson in the first place?

He didn’t lie about it?

Kirk's antics, especially the Kobayashi Maru test. Jesus Fucking Christ, the arrogant ASSHOLE-ishness of the 23rd century!

Watch the whole episode -- this clip shows a deception by Picard, necessary to the plot. He knows exactly what he's doing

Picard was then OUT of Academy and while he threatened himself, nobody else was killed.

I think this was just Worf taking it upon himself to get her to see that yes she made a mistake, but she doesn't have to be abused for it.

Picard obviously tested her resolution and mental strength of facing difficulty and high pressure in attempt to asses her readiness for risky mission. Worf just help her to deal with that i reckon.

Yes, one of my favorites to. I showed it to my daughters when I felt they were old enough. The episode she first appeared in "The First Duty" is another favorite. Must admit I really struggled for the first couple seasons to like this show and frankly wouldn't have been too disappointed if it was cancelled but it's fantastic how good it got and phenomenal episodes like this, and others such as Dark Page, The Inner Light & Lessons are my favorite TV episodes period.

I'm pretty sure Worf's test was planned with Picard to see if she would go back to Picard and tell him that he had judged her unfairly. Or at least, that's my interpretation.

@@RichardJolley same here. Choosing a candidate for such a dangerous (and secret) mission couldn't have been done without a careful and thorough planning. So the bosses devised this test to see if the person they already laid their eyes upon, was actually up to the task.

As another bajoran ensign, turned admiral in another franchise said, "You know what they say about best defence..."

Thanks for her name. I found the episode knowing that

she looks different now though: wallofcelebrities.c*m/celebrity/shannon-fill/pictures/shannon-fill_1789682.h#ml

Be careful what you wish for.

@@swanofnutella4734 Exactly. So long as Wokesters are in charge of Trek, I want NO new anything. I want more of _The Orville_ which although intended as a comedy/drama mix, also understands how to make a point without being preachy and bitchy about it. _Orville_ is the actual new Enterprise...

There's literally an animated show called Star Trek: Lower Decks geared towards an older audience, it's funny while still tackling heavier tones. It's great and produced by actual Trek fans, completely separately from the current live action shows.

Nope, Ro Laren was perfect es she was. It was a pitty that Michelle Forbes decided not to gu "full Star Trek" at that time, nut on the other hand it brought us Kira^^

same incident. She was one of the Nova squadron with Wesley.

Compared to this talk, Wesley was vivisected and nailed to the wall...

Because he knew Wesley long beforehand, and had a relatively significant role in the kid’s teenage life. He expected better from them all, but especially from Wesley.

@@a.dykeman1980 Wesley should have been thrown out of the academy .

@@timhallas4275 Wesley would have, but one of the other members of the Nova squadron, upon his own expulsion, formally recommended/requested Wesley not be expelled.

In some ways, tender worf is more frightening than aggressive worf

Which brings you to "what if?"

The same way the Wokesters murdered Star Wars.

There is nothing wrong with speaking harshly to a subordinate who has willingly made a serious mistake. If she is weak, she may quit (good). If she is strong, she may become stronger (good).

@@Shozb0t But he was being a jerk about holding onto an incident from three years ago. Kind of like how some were holding onto a trivial comment by a soon to be POTUS from decades previous.

Did you ever watch the whole episode?

Being harsh is imperfect? There's a time to be nice and a time to be harsh. I hope someday you will learn that.

Just part of the job of being a Captain, yes most are very cordial and want to win the respect of the crew, but sometimes they have to be tough. ex Navy

Picard would be open to the possibility that he was wrong. He also made his share of stupid mistakes in his youth.

Being fired doesn't mean that sticking up for yourself was the wrong thing to do. It shows that it was the right thing to do.

@Thelondonbadger I did not learn a valuable lesson, I stated that you can never know what someone else is thinking!

@@eyescreamcake I never said it was the wrong thing to do, I said you never know what another person is thinking!

@Thelondonbadger So, when your boss is in control of the narrative, writes the progress reports, controls the way you look to corporate, your going to sit there and teach "them" respect, how to speak, how to act during a reprimand? RIGHT! Your not going to turn it back on them, you're delusional! I didn't want to quit, but I eventually left. They also do this to control your pay raises.
