I always thought TNG was really first-rate television, and episodes like this still choke me up a bit. This is probably because I was just an impressionable kid when these aired live (I was born in the early '80's), but TNG did a tremendous amount to shape what I wanted to be when I grew up and the sort of world I wanted to live in. The Inner Life was another great episode, and I tried really hard to write a research paper on Darmok for a linguistics course in college (professor wouldn't go for it). This may very well have been Patrick Stewart's finest work, and I wish there were TV shows that dealt with ideas today in the same way TNG did 20 years ago.

>TNG did a tremendous amount to shape what I wanted to be when I grew up and the sort of world I wanted to live in. Same here. I still watch TNG episodes nearly every single day. You can learn a lot from them and I try to expose others to the "teachings" that can be gleaned from the show. Always like to see another huge fan who feels the same way I do. By the way, it's The Inner Light. Sorry, huge TNG fan that just couldn't resist. :)
