But what in regards to the Enterprise-B and -C? The reply for the previous got here in Generations, which begins with the Enterprise-B’s troubled maiden voyage, and would go on to reside in non-canonical tales outdoors of films and tv.
But “Yesterday’s Enterprise” tells a a lot richer story in regards to the Enterprise-C. Destroyed 20 years earlier than the episode’s setting, the Enterprise-C goes by way of a time distillation and arrives in a modified future. In the unique timeline, the -C was destroyed whereas trying to rescue a Klingon outpost. When the time shift prevented the -C from finishing its mission, the longer term modified and the Federation is suddently within the midst of a protracted conflict towards the Klingons. In this actuality, the Enterprise-D is a battleship, led by an embittered Picard and his military-focused crew, together with Denise Crosby’s Tasha Yar.
Directed by David Carson and based mostly on a narrative by Trent Christopher Ganino & Eric A. Stillwell, “Yesterday’s Enterprise” serves as a correct send-off for Tasha Yar, an unique crew member who died an ignoble loss of life on the “hands” of a blob monster within the season one episode “Skin of Evil.” Yar, and the crew of the Enterprise-C, select to ship the ship again into the previous and full its lethal mission, sacrificing themselves to forestall the Federation/Klingon conflict from ever taking place.
It’s an excellent episode, top-of-the-line within the sequence, and a becoming finish for Yar. However, Garrett places in a terrific displaying as a mannequin Starfleet Captain, embodying the braveness and selflessness that marks the most effective captains. Even although she suffers a surprisingly gnarly loss of life earlier than her ship can return to the previous and full its mission, Garrett stays a compelling determine from Star Trek lore.
Garrett received a nod in Star Trek: Picard, which revealed her statue stood on M’talas Prime. But that’s all we presently learn about Garrett, until you rely the non-canonical Lost Era novels The Art of the Impossible and Well of Souls, which flesh out her character in additional element. In canon, although, Garrett stays a compelling thriller.
As she demonstrated on the sequence Hannibal, Rohl is aware of a factor or two about portraying under-explored fan-favorites. On that Bryan Fuller-created adaptation of Thomas Harris’ novels, Rohl performed Abigail Hobbes, the daughter of Garret Jacob Hobbs aka the Minnesota Shrike, a serial killer solely talked about in passing in Harris’ books.
