I recently started TNG and saw that episode for the first time a week or two ago. When she died, I literally did not believe it right up until the end of the episode because of how anti-climactic her death was. I was absolutely sure it was going to be a fake-out.
When the episode ended, I had to look up why she was written out because I was so utterly perplexed.
No spoilers but there’s a hell of a coda coming in “Yesterday’s Enterprise”.
DM: Roll a new character.
DC: name: Sela, race: Half-romulan…
I just kinda like to dunk on her after I heard she wanted a permanent out from Star Trek. Damn it, I’d love that shit, just as random aliens in the background or whatever. Acting like being known for Trek is not good enough for you… pffft.
Remember that at that time Star Trek read in really rough shape. Most of the cast thought TNG was a joke and would get cancelled after 1 season. A bunch of the scripts were leftovers from the 60s that they reworked slightly, so overall the quality of S1 was bad and the cast were also reacting to that.
I can buy that. From some other comments on here, it appears there was more going on for her that we may not know all about too.
One of these days, this event is going to be far enough in the past that my brain can stop saying "too soon!"
Today is not that day.
I guess the clue that it was dangerous was when it got up to De Knees.
oof
Is this the world famous international superstar Rick Evans’ dad in the first panel?

She sprained her ankle earlier that day so she had disadvantage on dexterity checks.
I’m actually playing DnD right now. Too perfect on timing.

We have a lot of RP where characters are RPing with their gods or ghosts and stuff so I dont have to pay as close attention. I still do because I’m interested but I don’t have to take the same level of notes.
