She snuck through a plot hole.

She transported to the bridge using the cargo bay transporter

That main turbolift shaft is much slower than the other 3. Though at least they did show Picard putting the lift on hold so it might explain it slightly.

Nice catch.

Also did she .. wave.. at the camera as the door was closing ?

@TheLacix Wow. Interesting! Didn't notice that before.

how did I never notice that

Is this channel about the staging and blocking of the actors? The way they board the turbo lift is practically a ballet. Mostly when I watch this episode I’m waiting for Tasha’s farewell wave, so I miss what they do.

xD she does wave! Wtf! xD Question though; are you saying this was the actor's last scene that she performed in the show?

@@pepperVenge it’s one of the greatest hidden Easter eggs of TNG. Skin of Evil (where she was killed) was filmed before Symbiosis, but was aired after, so it’s moot which was her last episode. Denise Crosby was written back in to a couple of epodes in subsequent series of TNG. There is playful debate about who, if anyone, allowed her to break the fourth wall and wave bye bye to the audience.

Wow never noticed that before.

It's a message actually which I find is even more relatable today.

I was so excited about that episode and it didn't disappoint.

@@OlaBetiku I would love a conversation between Admiral Picard and Capt. Freeman about the ethics of his choice.

I'm surprised that large numbers of the Onarans didn't commit suicide in the process and I'm even more surprised that they didn't seek revenge on their Braxian neighbours for tricking them for 200 years. I'm surprised most of all that the Braxian civilization didn't collapse as they'd committed all their industry and agriculture to growing the drug they used to make their neighbours into drug addicts so without outside help, the Braxians were screwed.

We'll all be dirt by then.

it changes their development, thats the problem

@@AnvilMAn603So what?

@@elfinstuff8934 Theres a episode on Enterprise where Archer and Phlox have a argument about using a vaccine the doctor created to help a world which doenst even have warp capabilities. Most, myself included, believe that to be the first instance of the prime directive there and the whole idea is simple by Phlox, what if this disease is to be? What if the race ends up stronger because of it? Why should we rob this specie chance of evolution for our concept of "mercy"? The point of "not interfering" is not just because we are better and they are not but rather we(they) cant access what is to happen and what is not so changing it with help from a far better tecnological race is cheating their normal evolution and progress. Imagine if someone came to Earth and give us everything we ever need, sooner or later problems because of that will start pop up because we didnt learn how to make such things, how to use it, the sacrifices that took us to "improve" ourselfs but rather someone better gave it to us and messed with the order of things.

disasters and tragedies are apart of societal development and growth, perhaps the type of society that goes to the stars peacefully and with strong enough infrastructure was the one that suffered unaided with a terrible event @@elfinstuff8934

@@elfinstuff8934Because we can’t know what any interaction in a system from outside the system will cause. “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Having a highly advanced, indistinguishable from magic civilization solve a problem teaches the lesson that solving one’s own problems is a waste of time. Simply wait for the magic peoples to solve it. In this episode, the addicted people may have been robbed of a philosophy borne out of dealing with withdrawal from the drug. Or perhaps a medicine. Maybe their law and governance is changed by the addiction to better deal with social ills.

Yes thats Tasha Yar as Good Bye

Yes, it was Denise Crosby's last regular performance as Tasha Yar. 'Skin of Evil' was filmed prior to 'Symbiosis' .

The Federation doesn't play Fuck Around and Find Out Here is a clear example of why The Prime Directive exists even though it is a different show kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLCJds2S3rKcmY0.html

How so?

@@user-ug2hk3go6i He pwn'd you.

You stop one planet from destroying itself which inevitable affect the development of neighboring planets.

Stay out of it.

Perhaps excessive energy use?

Assumes there is a God, perhaps we are on our own. And while we cannot save everyone, the goal of trying to do so is worthwhile.

Besides the Onarans would never have believed him, that their precious miracle cure was a drug.
