Ah man, I was a little girl of 7 or 8, something like that, and was cryyiiing my eyes out, choking in tears :( remember it my whole life. So, yea, they did an amazing job there.

@@zea_dj are you 10 now?

@@Jedi_Are_Scum nope, much much older. what exactly in my comment inspired you to ask such a stupid question?

@@zea_dj I was much older than you when I saw it but I found it shocking too.

Gates McFadden is woohooboy.

I kind of doubt that this was a bigger shock than Spock dying in Star Trek II. Especially considering this was the first season of the show and fans weren't yet as attached to these characters as we are now.

@@marcw6875 I think they made it clear that Spock wasn't completely dead when they showed him doing a mind meld with Bones just before. Plus it was a heroic sacrifice to save the crew. Tasha Yar's death came out of nowhere. It was completely unexcepected.

@@marcw6875 I remember thinking when I saw the next episode 'I knew it! I knew she couldn't really be dead because she was still in the opening credits' They just didn't update them for the rest of the season. With TOS the first I saw was Voyage Home, so like the loss of the Enterprise herself, Spock's death never hit me as hard.

Really? I thought tng was pretty good at not killing off random people. TOS did but that’s because they didn’t know how to create suspense without adding meaningless death

In this series Yellow

realistic in the who ..... but not the why.

@@dhinton1 roddenberry killed her off the show because she was doing porn on the side..look it up

This was the episode where we realized “OK this series is going to be a little bit different”

Is this geek humor

And there are never any updates.

Same here... was crying for two days!

Death by hawker is pretty bad

Me too. Tasha was my fav character in season 1 so I felt a bit hollow after her demise.

Idk this is my first time seeing her, she doesn't seem to be that clever or even capable to handle a leadership role when it comes to unknown situations.

Thank's for the advice

Imagine if its the devil

s mc that's a good tip

Data, something's got MEEEEEEEE!!!!

Or have about 500 pounds of oil dri ready to dump on it

All she wanted was to have some more to do than just say: "Aye captain." Certainly this could have been done. This was SO unnecessary. :(

She didn't know how successful the show was going to be or else she would have stayed. It was a large ensemble cast, she should have given it at least one more season. Plenty of other TV shows have had once minor characters given a lot more scenes as the series progressed. Even Deep Space Nine saw characters like Nog and Garak being given more attention as they proved to be popular characters, due in no small part to the actors playing them. But what can you do. While many might disagree with me the worst casting decision was bringing back Gates McFadden. She was dead weight, the worst actor on the show and therefor got very little written for her. Diana Muldaur was by far the stronger actress and people only disliked her because the writers made her antagonistic towards Data, in what was actually a great setup for a slow evolution of friendship that never got a chance to play out.

User so fucking true. Crusher was boring as fuck. And she had nothing to do after she returned in Season 3. Pulasky was way more interessting. Her thing with Data mirrored McCoy and Spock. Very sad this gone nowhere...

Lt. Yar was one of my favorite characters. 😢

She didn't know that Gene Roddenberry was going to die and allow Rick Berman to focus on more than Just Picards, Riker and Data which was his original vision (Akin to Kirk, Spock and Bones). She thought it would be like that for years.

“I warn you”

@AllenSymonds MFW when my overly religious friends try to tell me about their beliefs

I used to think what Riker thought. Now I disagree. I do not believe that pieces of shit like armus deserve to exist. I believe if maggots or creatures exist that are so hateful like that...thing and they can never be rehablitated, they should be put to sleep. We would all be better for it.

@@mirrortoyourweakness9769 Ironically, then that means you agree with Armus in that not all life has a right to exist. The universe can be described as dualistic in that sense. Armus' mere existence proves his assertion to be correct.

^ An animal-loving misanthropic right winger. Hilarious. On your KZfaq page, there's even a trio of videos each displaying the Confederate flag. Finally, you're subscribed to a bunch of garbage right-wing pundits and even straight-up white nationalists. No wonder you don't share Riker's sentiment.

She lived on, in spirit.

I had to give that one a thumbs up that really took some serious thought

Pfffffffft hahha

Boogers to betsy!

Do you know what could beat him? About 400 pounds of oil dry and a leaf blower

@Dr. M. H. she also wanted out of the show to be a movie star. Which didnt work out....

True remember watching with my older brother and we.were like nah she's not dead ....oops she so is!🙈

Exactly. Not everyone dies a glorious death with plenty of warning and time to prepare. That's life.

It's a good way to say don't miss any epsiode as anything will and can happen

_what's wrong with her faaaaaace_

I think Rich would actually like this episode.

I KNOW WHAT THIS IS!!

Correct! Instead he gave them a SJW narrative.

@@AllenSymonds Oooh, you mean the 'proper people' explanation.

As Capt. Picard had said numerous times throughout the shows history, one of the core principles of being a Starfleet Officer is about telling the truth in any circumstance. No matter what. It's the guiding principle upon which Star Fleet is based. Lying would go against everything that he had been taught and trained to do.. 🖖

"and a lot of fun" Yeesh!

Wonder if you'll ever suffer such torment?

I'm glad you did too.

It was awesome kkkkkk one of the best jokes os the program.

That ain't even close to Star Trek.

@@fernandofelipecorreatavare9372 Nothing wrong with a joke. And I'm not against a laugh, even at the expense of something great. The problem is that it's calling itself Star Trek. It aint.

Oh yes, "Yesterday's Enterprise" was much better.

I am glad yesterday's enterprise gave tasha a more heroic death

Chris Peplinski Exactly. Not only does she and the Enterprise-C sacrifice themselves to save a Klingon outpost, but their sacrifice also restores the timeline. Now that is more epic than what happens to Tasha in this episode.

She became The Next Generation's equivalent of a "disposable red shirt."

​@Ian Gardner Yeah, feels like they did all this to make up for Denise Crosby's initial departure from TNG, especially when she got to be on set (as Sela) with Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock.

Don't give up hope Billy, because she is a human and humans have a tendency to turn up when you least expect them too. 😁😁

It's not a blood mark. It's meant to be a burn.

More like a blood blister or burn under the skin where she got zapped... it's not that convincing sure but that's kind of how blood blisters look...

Dole Bob blood blisters are naaaasty on google images.. the human body is a disgrace! It's a wonder how such a disgusting POS could even exist, it's so flawed -_- shame on the designer or the universe for ever making our biology even possible!!!!!!!!!

You realize that disgust is a relative concept and that only our perception makes anything disgusting at all. No shit you would find something so naturally offensive to our sensibilities to be revolting.

it is not blood or burn... its meamt to be something very different from that wich is caused by an alien life form very different from everything they encpuntered before... its an alien stain

She did last more seasons breh. She actually ended up dying to the romulans defending a Klingon settlement 20 years before this happened

She quit the show so they had to kill her of. Worst career choice ever since she didn't star in anything good after. Could have lived with royalties of the show or fans money at cons.

+Cthulhu ah are you here from best of the worst

I do not understand why nowadays do writers feel the need to kill off a character just because the actor decided to leave. They could have Tasha transferred off or leave the Enterprise for any number of reasons and open the possibility of having her return.

PungiFungi It was great tv. I love that the writers handled Crosby's departure that way. They pulled a "Henry Blake." The premise for bringing her back, that was dumb.

Yes, and Guinan can sense when the timeline has been altered and what the timeline should be...which means she must be having fits given how many times Voyager re-set the timeline.

lol

Don't judge. HE'S FULLY FUNCTIONAL, DAMMIT

Disgusting

We have 2d girls, they gotta have something.

I agree

Peter Cullen 💪💪💪

I agree

They don't mention it on Discovery? So? Discovery sucks. And it ain't CLOSE to Star Trek.

This gives me more hope than Religion ever could

No, it isn't. That isn't how reality works.

she should have waited till s2, s1 its always harder to develop characters

And it turned into an Armus

Wanna know what Armus is afraid of? About 450 pounds of oil dri and a leaf blower

Tasha dies from brain's damages due to armus's powers, not from her fall or some neck's break. All martial arts in the world won't help her. And for Riker, Armus wished to torture him, not killing him. You have your explanations.

Lower. Lower. Lower. Too low! Lower.
