Probably the closest we ever got to seeing a Klingon crying.

Nurse Ogawa and her reaction lends a certain weight to the surprise, it makes my throat clench a little in sympathetic response. This was peak trek, the ability to illicit emotions so well.

I'm still waiting for Sito to tell me what she remembered. Punctuation is key.

Remembering a close friend lost to an accident. This episode brought back tears. I honor you by trying to excel.

Meanwhile, in ST:Discovery she would be made fun of.

Has she lived I think she’d been great on DS9 especially when Worf joined the show

I knew it. It was always the Kardashians.

Shaka, when the walls fell.

The more I watch old TNG clips, the more I realized it raised me into who I am today. Bravery, compassion, loyalty in a single episode...thank you TNG

This was it. This was what needed to be done to save the show. But they didn't realise it. After so many episodes, we had seen all the main characters interact with each other in any conceivable situation. What was needed was more characters. That's why Ensign Ro was immediately a fan favourite. If they had made these Lower Decks characters - especially the waiter - recurring characters, the show would have improved markedly. But alas, that would have meant less screentime for the main characters (as in this episode), and that was a no-go. And so TNG died. _

RIP Nurse Ogawa.

RIP Patti Yasutake

The Star Trek Universe peaked with The Next Generation. That will forever be my opinion.

Now a days it’s all about character arcs. TNG understood character “refinement”. The characters did not change much, but they gradually became better, deeper versions.

I don’t remember this episode. What happened to her?

Here is my only comment about this future interpretation of humans, We have 3 Starfleet officers who go through years of training and risk their lives for the betterment of humankind. This is contrast to a civilian which serves drinks for a living in a post scarcity society. One is not like the other. How is the bartender expanding human society or holding up those ideals of humans striving for the best. What get an education? Learn something new? Nah I will just serve drinks for the rest of my life and enjoy the holodecks go to love StarFleet.

Why does the hot chick have to die?

Worf: "You guys ever grief-drink with a Klingon before?"

It would have been cool to see Worf mourn.

the riker maneuver! best way to sit a chair.

OMG The music is so good

Dammit…I posted this five years ago…just watched it again. Still makes me cry. When Ogawa gasps, the tears start up. When Worf stands up to walk to the table, it’s full on waterworks.

Notice LaVelle (ensign who got promoted), the guy who thought Riker had it out for him, does a little Riker Maneuver at 1:27.

The most tragic story of all the supporting characters. And I hate the TNG producers and scriptwriters for it. Because every time I watch TNG and then get to seasons 5 and 7, I get angry again about how those idiots treated the character Sito Jaxa. Every time I watch it, I cry like a waterfall because I find her story so damn tragic and I suspect that she had what it takes to become captain of the USS Voyager. There was so much potential in this character and they didn't use it. In retrospect, I could shake my fist at many decisions made by producers and other idiots who worked behind the camera on TV series and feature films.

I'm just saying...I would imagine Picard was feeling guilt seeing it was he who tapped her for this mission

1:54...What a quote!!

Watching this scene after Patti Yasutake has passed makes me sad. I loved her portrayal of Alyssa ogawa

The subtle nods of each lower deck character taking on a trait from their mentor. You could imagine Ogawas lines coming from Beverly, Taurik's lines coming from Data, Sam has that hint of self doubt you see in Riker when he is in private, and Ben has the emotional intelligence of Guinan in fabricating a pretext to tell Worf to join the group of mourners. And obviously Sito dies in battle in the best Klingon tradition.

Amazing actress. Shannon Fill is talented and beautiful. I think she deserved the toughness she got and more but not death. What she did, being such a follower to Locarno and actually letting him coerce them into covering up Josh Albert's true cause of death she deserved banishment just as much as Locarno did. It's not fair Wesley kept having to pay for it most than most being set back a year when everyone kept advancing ahead of him and whatnot. Thats part of why I don't get how stupid fans can be sympathizing for this person who actively participated in covering up a death she was partially responsible for without remorse, until she had to start paying for it unavoidably. This is probably why that stupid kid who caused the boston bombing is still alive. Morons.

Worf should have them do a scream upward as a warrior has died.

I'm here after Lower Decks. Anybody else?

Michael Dorn at his best. *tears*

You gotta love Worf. The moment he is told that Sito considered him a friend, he gets up and goes to sit down with her other friends. Worf is the most loyal friend you could have. There is also that scene in “the outcast” when Worf wants to help Riker rescue Soren and says “A warrior does not let a friend face danger alone.”

Sito should come back as a Cardassian Agent who takes over the Enterprise... next movie?

That bartender learned well from Guinan.

"You shouldn't feel that way, Sam" Well thank you for the advice, space-waiter. Now, how about a Arcturan Mai Tai?

I thought her name was Sito Jackson. It was Sito Jaxa

This and The Pegasus were the 2 best episodes of Season 7.

She was hot

This episode was actually the inspiration for the concept of LD.

They need to bring this group back somehow in Lower Decks. I wonder how their lifes turned out.

When someone says Season 7 was crap I always reference this episode. This was a tantalizing hint of what could have been had the show continued on.

this episode always gets me

This last scene brings me to tears every single time. We are lucky to have grown up with TNG, which set an example of the true spirit of what humanity could become.

Killing off Sito was a travesty!

I wonder how Mariner at first handle hearing that her hero recklessly got one her teammates killed and then conspirer to coverup? Then what did do when Sito was getting ostracize and possibly builled by the other cadets?

While ds9 could have bettet long term storylined tng had some of the best 1 or 2 episode stories

I see Sam Lavelle went to the William T. Riker School of Sitting Down.

TNG should have worked harder on a supporting cast.

What I like about this death over many others is that it's off screen. Everyone, including us the viewers, expected that Sito might die, and when news of her death came, we're left with a sense of wonder about what exactly happened.
