“Darmok” — arguably the best single SF episode of ANY SF series.

Nah. "Inner Light" hit much harder.

Crap! You win! But it is close.

To live an ENTIRE life, be YOU and yet eventually just live that life. As always I go with the premise. Picard had children. As far as he is concerned, real ones. That he loved, reared and let go to the world. A wife, a community, stature and belonging.

The life that Picard, Captain of the Federation Fleets flagship would never ever known. I know the flute motif showed up again but I felt for him so much (despite my earlier post about him being a bit of a Nancy boy). The joy and later pain would have been unbearable.

Thanks for correcting me. I always like “Darmok” for the idea of conversing in concepts and not just structure. And Paul Winfield.

But “Inner Light” is in a league all its own.
