Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

i need to brush up on my star trek lore

all i was thinking was "why is tasha yar a romulan?"

(edit: it was a later episode after the actress left and came back in a one off episode where she plays tasha yar's half romulan daughter, from another time line)

@benroyce Tbh she was a better romulan than a head of security

@farah

She didn't like the role. She left TNG because of it. I don't blame her, it was just a badly written character

Show threadbluestarultorJun 16, 2025

@benroyce @farah TBH, her best episode was like the worst episode of the whole series. I freaking loved her when she actually got some action scenes, actually got to be taken seriously, but I feel like they had zero idea how to make her work.

I guess they actually switched Crosby and Sirtis at the eleventh hour and it's clear knowing what role they actually auditioned for. Crosby could bring such warmth. I can only imagine how different it would have been if they'd left everything alone.
