Brainy Blonde

Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 102: Darmok From the Back Cover The Enterprise responds to a signal from the Tamarians, an alien race whose language is incomprehensible to humans. After attempts at communication with the aliens prove futile, Picard (Patrick Stewart) is suddenly transported to a deserted planet with the Tamarian Captain, Dathon (Paul Winfield). While the crew fights to retrieve him, Picard struggles to communicate with Dathon, and a mysterious beast begins to hunt them both. Just as Picard begins to comprehend that the Tamarians communicate by metaphor, Dathon is mortally wounded. At the last second Picard is transported out of harm's way, but now the Tamarians are ready to go to war unless Picard can explain what happened!
