The thing that annoyed me about this episode was that it is nearly impossible for this race's language to evolve the way they said it did. You still need some way of describing the metaphors that you use to communicate or no one will know what the fuck you're talking about. The alien captain was sitting there like an idiot because he couldn't understand what CP was trying to explain to him, because SUPPOSEDLY he was incapable of understanding language that described a thing instead of language that is like a thing that describes a thing.TL;DR this episode was fun but total and complete bullshit; more so than many, many other ST episodes.
>>371707Because when we want gritty realism and hard facts, we turn to science fiction.
>>371707On top of that, how were they supposed to communicate the detailed technical information necessary to, say, fly a spaceship?"Our ship, with its shields up, right now!"
