The episode we’ve been waiting all season to watch: the death of Tasha Yar! Whee!

Holy crap, that was a super shit death! I thought she would at least put up a fight! Dang, Denise Crosby got done dirty.

Armus is a psychopathic dick. He bullies everyone else and blames other people for his actions. Presumably, Republicans will nominate it for President.

Worf, you have pronounced the word “Prieto” three different ways, all of them wrong.

There was a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that led to this episode. Even though Tasha Yar was the focus of a few early episodes, Denise Crosby felt the character was getting shunted to the background, and ultimately decided to leave. Unfortunately for everyone involved, this turned out to be a really pointless episode, remarkable only because they killed a main character. And Tasha Yar had the cringiest lines all the way to the end, meaning the writers really did have no idea what to do with her.
Tasha Yar does return in a later season, thanks to timey-wimey shenanigans, and Denise Crosby also plays Sela, the half-Romulan daughter of Tasha Yar (timey-wimey shenanigans), in some of the best episodes of TNG (at least from what I remember), so it’s not all doom and gloom for Tasha Yar (I mean, I have three Denise Crosby personnel cards from the Decipher Star Trek CCG - Tasha Yar, Tasha Yar-Alternate, and Sela - so Denise Crosby is well-represented).
Hopefully, she’ll get way better lines.
