I’ve rewatched “Legacy” (Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 4, episode 6). The episode is pretty interesting and dramatic. The plot – a rescue mission for a crewman, who was taken hostage on the planet Tasha was from. Seems simple, doesn’t it. Well, it would be, if the planet wasn’t being torn apart by some kind partisan civil war and if one of the fractions, which promised to help Federation (Enterprise) rescue the crewman didn’t have Tasha’s sister among them. (Spoilers!) She came on Enterprise to help, she got injured on a mission, grew close to Data, whom she reminded of Tasha, and even started thinking about joining Starfleet and made Worf think that Starfleet will be lucky to have her because she’s brave and selfless. She led them to the final rescue mission and then… betrayed them – it turned out that she led them inside the base of the other fraction not only to get the crewman back but to disable their defence systems and let her comrades attack this base. She was even ready to kill Data to do so. He and Riker didn’t let her, took her on the Enterprise and then returned. Data has experienced his first-ever friend betrayal and doubts if the trust is worth “feeling” this.
Another fake book cover using character sprites from Star Trek Timelines. I’ve wanted to do one with a historical figure and decided to use Amelia Earhart
Tasha Yar understands being unsure of your gender identity or sexuality and having no way to explore it so you’re confused and a bit frustrated because you have no clue who you are. It can be a really difficult feeling to not be sure of these aspects of your identity, because for some people, they can be important factors in what makes you “you”. Even if you can’t explore it, you’re still valid. She hopes you’ll be able to explore your gender and sexuality in the future. Until then, hold on. It might not be easy to deal with all of this, but she believes in you.
I would love to see a confrontation between Ishara and Sela.
I think Ishara would try to manipulate Sela into giving Romulan support to the Coalition. But of course, Sela would prove to be much wilier than Ishara could handle.
