Sarek's failing health was intended to be a reference to the declining health of Roddenberry.
Spock picard mind meld series#
The inclusion of Sarek in his namesake episode, along with a mention of Spock, was seen by the crew of The Next Generation as a breakthrough, allowing them to reference The Original Series more freely in the future. Roddenberry had previously barred references to Star Trek: The Original Series in The Next Generation although he did pursue having DeForest Kelley as Leonard McCoy in the TNG launch feature Encounter at Farpoint. The appearance of Lenard was originally suggested by Gene Roddenberry as an alternative to an appearance by Leonard Nimoy, as it was suspected that it would be too expensive to have the latter actor reprise the role of Spock on television. It is only resolved after the Vulcan mind melds with Captain Jean-Luc Picard ( Patrick Stewart).
It is revealed that Sarek has Bendii syndrome, which is telepathically causing the problems among the crew. While he is aboard the ship, the crew experiences an outbreak of irrational anger amongst themselves. In this episode, Sarek ( Mark Lenard), the father of Spock and a highly regarded but elderly ambassador, is ferried by the Enterprise on his final mission for the Federation.
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the Starfleet crew of the Federation starship Enterprise-D.
The story for the episode was created by Marc Cushman and Jake Jacobs, with the teleplay written by Peter S. It was originally released on May 14, 1990, in broadcast syndication.
