Plot
The premiere of the fifth season was the second part of the previous
season's cliffhanger episode. The war between Duras' family and Gowron's
heats up and Duras appears to be winning. They have had the help of the
Romulans commanded by Sela. The Federation wishes to stay out of the fight
since it is an internal civil war but Picard convinces the Fleet Admiral
that the Romulans may be involved and therefore the Federation should be as
well. Picard sets up a blockade to prevent Romulan ships from sending sup-
plies to Duras' forces and eventually, Duras' forces are defeated by
Gowrons.
Sela, in one of the strangest (but predictable) twists on the show, claims
to be Tasha Yar's daughter. Since Tasha died childless in "Skin of Evil", it
seems impossible for her to have a grown up daughter much less one in a
position of command in the Romulan Empire. For the answer, one needs to
look at the events in "Yesterday's Enterprise". In that episode, the Enter-
prise D encountered Enterprise C in an alternate history where Tasha was
still alive on the D. At the end of the episode, she returns to the past on
the Enterprise C. When the Enterprise D returns to its correct history line,
all memories of the encounter vanish and Tasha's existence on the C was
forgotten. However, Tasha was captured by the Romulans when she returned to
the past on the Enterprise C and eventually married a Romulan General and
had a child by him. Tasha was eventually executed for trying to escape the
Empire and Sela, Tasha's daughter, now has a hatred for Picard since he sent
Tasha back on the Enterprise C.

Goofs
- In part one of this story, Worf said that he would be serving on the
Bortas. Yet, in the second episode, he is serving on the Hectar, with no
explanation about the transfer.
- Also, Picard says to Guinan that Yar died a year prior to Guinan joining
the crew. However, "Skin of Evil" was the fourth to last story of the
season, and Guinan is first seen in the second season premiere "The
Child", suggesting only 3-4 months between the two stories.
- Picard refers to the battle on Narendra III as taking place 24 years ago
to Sela, and 23 years ago to Guinan. But, of course, Guinan senses time
differently...
- When Worf is given his family name back the blood on the knife is red not
pink as in Star Trek VI. )
