"An evil, tar-like creature holds Troi hostage on an alien world". Sounds kind of dumb? Well it is, sorta. The episode is a total TOS throwback. The tar creature looks stupid, sounds stupid and well is just plain stupid. But, at times the thing was a bit creepy I must admit. He embodies all of the negativity of the planets previous inhabitants. It doesn't understand 'good'. I have a million jokes for this episode that I'm not going to touch... Anyway, it kills Tasha Yar. Yes, she's dead. I couldn't believe that she was only in one season?? Whenever I thought of TNG, I always thought of Yar. And she was only in 24 episodes. Odd. The funeral scene was pretty good. Solid acting all around. I can't say that I will miss her because to be honest the acting of Denise Crosby just didn't hold up to the rest of the cast.

This episode gets a lot of hate it seems online but I actually really liked it. The tar baby monster was a pretty effective villain I thought and it was cool to see a regular cast memember get killed instead of random red shirt (even if the regular cast member was Crosby). The tar monster seemed like more of a baddie from fantasy instead of sci fi (the negative remains of a race of titans?! Doesn't even make sense but has a certain mythic quality about it)
I wouldn't say it was terrible. It got a bit goofy at times, but all in all it was watchable. ....did you really just say tar baby
Tar baby means being caught in a sticky situation which the crew was in this episode
that's what my grandmother calls sugar babies candy ... and she's from Georgia if you get my drift
