The Wounded

This Story: Season 4 Episode 12 (production code 186)
TNG Overall: Episode 86
Trek Overall: Story 185, Episode 188
Airdate: 28 Jan 1991
Teleplay by Jeri Taylor
Story by Stuart & Sara Charno, Cy Chermak
Directed by Chip Chalmers

Notes

  • The first episode with the Cardassians, who would become a major character in Deep Space Nine.
  • The only episode where a Cardassian has facial hair, head gear, and their disrupters were pink.  That all was changed for subsequent appearances.
  • The first episode with O’Brien having a major role vs the minor/background character he’d been prior to this.
  • Marc Alaimo plays his first Cardassian here (Gil Macet), although not the one he’s most famous for (Gul Dukat).  This is also his third episode of TNG, and the third different race he’s played.
  • Dr. Crusher does not appear in this episode. Other than Season 2 when she was not part of the cast, this is the only other episode she doesn’t appear in.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek TNG Ep 86 - The Wounded - 28 Jan 1991 2/2 Gunton, the Warden in Shawshank. First ep with O'Brien in a major role, and it works well. A lot of time spent on relations between people who used to be enemies that are now not. Very good ep, lots of personal/racial tension.

The Cardassians never looked like this again.
