Headscratchers / Star Trek: The Next Generation S5E12 "Violations"

Go To

  • Any idea on what happened to Jev? No mention of whether he was brought to Justice for his crimes under Ullian law.
    • All we got was an explanation from Tarmin, his father on how he deeply regretted the incident and the usual speech from Captain Picard on how we must be vigilant that despite our civilised natures we still have that seed of violence planted within every one of us.
    • Seriously, TNG writers? Ever since in the habit of being so detailed mid-story and then totally condensed every end-episode. We wanted to know what became of Jev if he was deported back to his homeworld to answer for his crimes and all we got was Tarmin's resolution and another Picardian Speech?
    • It's a pretty solid criminal case and it's likely that Jev was Put on a Bus to Hell. In the end, it wasn't about him, it was about the devastation he left behind. His father was having to come to terms that his son was a monster and that it wasn't his fault. Not to mention identifying, locating, and helping Jev's victims heal.
