At the 2015 reunion of Voyager in Las Vegas, Wang noted that although he had always been a big science fiction fan, he wasn’t a fan of the modern iterations of Star Trek. Lutan: As much as I like the episode. One of Trek's worst episodes. I also loved the little scene between Geordi and Data about telling a joke, and even the character developement of Picard accepting Wesley as a part of the crew was executed really well. It's openly offensive - racist and sexist and prehistoric in its thinking". [2] The episode wasn't well received amongst the cast and crew but Maurice Hurley thought that the basic premise held promise. I watched "Code of Honor" on Netflix the other day and really enjoyed.

It is littered with stereotypes (verging on racism), and features one of my least favourite characters in the Star Trek universe, Lt. Tasha Yar. One of Trek's worst episodes. "[11], Garrett Wang gives the episode indirect credit for his getting the role of Harry Kim on Star Trek: Voyager. But the concept of having a guy say 'I have to have somebody kill my wife and this is the person' is a good idea. [6], Staff writer Tracy Tormé was not pleased with the "1940s tribal Africa" theme of the aliens,[2] and because the combat scene towards the end of the episode resembled the Kirk versus Spock fight in The Original Series episode "Amok Time". Thumbs up. But it became too baroque and fell apart. I saw this episode again today (after I last saw it some 15 years ago), and I actually quite enjoyed it. I disagree.

It will enhance any encyclopedic page you visit with the magic of the WIKI 2 technology. Enterprise should have just left when Ligonians kidnapped Tasha :P That would be awesome. Anyway, this isn't a primative world. Katharyn Powers, He said that "this isn't just bad television, it's openly offensive, and it seems to do its best effort to undo some of the most important lessons the original series imparted some 25 years after we're supposed to have learned them. Liked the 90's vibe to it as well. Directed by Russ Mayberry. I'd describe it as just "there", just like "Encounter at Farpoint" (although EAF was ahead of this ep by miles, of course). Now there's an evolved sensibility. It is. 46:22. I find it odd, Captain, that a man of your experience has such difficulty in understanding ordinary politeness. The men marry the women and get all their lands and possessions and if the husband wants another woman then they can fight to the death on some jungle gym bars. Hilariously bad episode and fairly typical of the early period of TNG when they were trying to rehash TOS themes and stories. Is she supposed to be some kind of Amazon warrior? [5] Michelle Erica Green of TrekNation thought the episode was very slowly paced, and that the fight scene at the end was "clunky and awkward",[7] suggesting that this had something to do with the opposition of the cast and crew to the episode overall. The episode was received negatively by reviewers after the series ending, including being described by one as "quite possibly the worst piece of Star Trek ever made".[3]. [2], "Code of Honor" aired in broadcast syndication during the week commencing October 17, 1987.

Just saw this episode for the first time in almost a decade due to recently purchasing the first season on blu ray. Steven Crowder does a series called "Change my mind." I've been rewatching this show from the beginning on Blu-ray (I have not watched these episodes since 2002, when the DVDs came out). Random Trek #23 – Code of Honor (TNG) Posted by By Lee Sargent 20/10/2020 No Comments. Race is a total non-factor here and I am frustrated by those who think CODE OF HONOR is a racial episode when race or skin colour is not discussed or mention at any point in the episode. I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like. Though that may not have been intentional it's none the less the result and author's intent, or lack thereof, doesn't mitigate what this is. Club in April 2010.

Two further attempts to get into the franchise also resulted in him coincidentally watching "Code of Honor" once again. And who created Star Trek? The racism and sexism in this episode is terrible, but I find it a bit harsh to give it only half a star. Badly in need. I just about wanted to smack her. I'd rather watch shades of gray a dozen times than even think about this one, let alone watch it. We get a Tasha Yar episode, and let's face it, she's not really capable of leading an episode by herself. View production, box office, & company info, Gene Roddenberry (created by),

It would be interesting to see how this society has progressed since the 1980s. [7], Jamahl Epsicokhan on his website Jammer's Reviews, gave the episode half a star out of four, describing it as "absolutely terrible".

I kept waiting for Lutan to offer everyone a 7-Up. Because, again, visual medium. "[3] Overall, he said that this was "quite possibly the worst piece of Star Trek ever made". Fontana. The fight to the death is particularly inept; stunt sequences have rarely looked so cheesy. To which Data would reply, "I will perform a diagnostic of my positronic matrix."

A rotten apple is a rotten apple and it doesn't matter if it's not "quite as rotten" as another rotten apple. Star Trek. It's easy to criticize this episode, one could focus on the wooden plot (and plot holes) and write paragraphs. I mean, she is such a terrible actor.
