which is about the Enterprise comes into contact with an alien race that the Federation has encountered several times over the past hundred years, but they find incomprehensible.

And so the captain of their ship takes Picard by force to the surface of the planet,

and you can't understand what's going on.

And the whole show is basically about trying to understand each other when you speak in a way that is different from somebody else.

It's not about language.

So the alien race speaks in metaphor and example.

So the alien race keeps saying Dharmak and Jalad at Tanagra.

And Captain Picard's like, what is that?

And to the alien race, they're telling a story.

And the story relates to the situation they're in right now.

So in their mind, it's all visual.

They don't communicate through intricate words.

They communicate through examples of what's going on.

And he was trying to teach them how to speak.

It's an amazing episode.
