JustinHOST
Was his name Darmok or not Darmok? I don't remember.
KevinHOST
Hmm.
JustinHOST
So he's stranded on a planet with an alien character, and they've n- the Federation was never able to actually communicate with his race because, to them, the, it sounds like English, but it's just, doesn't make sense.
KristenHOST
Yeah.
BrianHOST
You're just like, "When are they gonna kill this guy?" And then finally, perhaps controversially, "Darmok."

Jackson LansingGUEST
Like, if you're like, I'm just trying to get somebody onto Star Trek, and I want you to know what my particular take on it is, I see Star Trek as military fiction at its core.
Jackson LansingGUEST
I think what it actually is for me, it's not for every writer, it's just for me, it is a naval... drama that's what star trek is at its core everything comes out of the naval drama but the naval drama is really really core um the so and balance of terror to me is the best naval drama episode of star trek ever created i just think it's the the freaking best until star trek uh last starship issue 10 which is my attempt to out balance of terror balance of terror um so go go go read uh last starship issue 10 i'm really proud of it Issue, second one is Darmok.
Jackson LansingGUEST
Darmok and Gelada Tanagra is just Darmok.
Jackson LansingGUEST
Again, preternatural perfect Star Trek episode.
Jackson LansingGUEST
If I'm trying to show you what Star Trek is, I show you Darmok.
Jackson LansingGUEST
Not because now it's not a Navel episode.
Jackson LansingGUEST
Now it's just a show about understanding.
Jackson LansingGUEST
It's a show about social understanding and about radical acceptance and seeking understanding of other people's beliefs rather than judging them based on them.
