Star Trek TNG: Episode 32 - Loud as a Whisper

Let me just say, evolution makes zero sense in the Star Trek realm. In this episode there is a famous peace negotiator. He is deaf and can't talk. So on his planet, he has sort of evolved to be able to talk through other people telepathically. How about fucking evolving to be able to hear again? It just seems way simpilar than telepathy. After his speakers are all called, he is forced to use sign language. The moral of this story is .... I have no fucking clue. The actor is really deaf and he does a good job, but honestly he doesn't have any lines so how hard could it be.

This was another one of those Trek episodes that sounds neat, but really makes no sense once you finish watching it and and actually think about what just happened.

I never understood why his "chorus" dedicated their lives to speaking the words of some deaf guy. Don't they have hobbies? Do they stand behind him when he's sitting on the toilet and grunt as he pushes out a tough poop?

Haha. What a bunch of losers. This guy was the biggest snob too, like he's totally trying to make up for his lack of hearing by acting like a total douche
