POPULARITY
Peak Performance (Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), S2 E21) was recommended by Kayodé Lycaon / Kay·o·deh Lie·kay·on, who said: I picked this episode for one line from Picard to Wesley: “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”That quote was life changing for me. I had spent my entire life struggling with being bipolar. Parts of my brain just do not work. I was one of the brilliant kids in school but my grades never showed that. I couldn't focus on homework no matter how hard I tried. Later in my life I had manic episodes that took control over me and I couldn't stop myself from saying things I shouldn't have. I've lost jobs and friends to episodes.Captain Picard made me realize I was trying my best and it was not my fault that my best wasn't enough to meet anyone's expectations.The other parts of the episode also resonate with me because I'm always trying to find ways around my own limitations. I don't need to do things the way people say I should. I can what works instead, even if it means breaking a few rules.Peak Performance first aired on July 10, 1989, written by David Kemper, and directed by Robert ScheererThe Enterprise and USS Hathaway face off in simulated combat maneuvers.

Az Enterprise legénységét egy hadgyakorlat végrehajtása miatt a Braslota rendszerbe vezénylik, a tevékenységet pedig a zakdornok egyik mester hadvezére, Sirna Kolrami felügyeli. A gyakorlat alatt Picard kapitány Riker parancsnokra bízza az elhagyott és rossz állapotban lévő Hathaway csillaghajó irányítását, amivel az Enterprise szimulált lövésekkel és találatokkal ütközik majd meg. Míg Riker összeállítja a csapatát és felkészül az összecsapásra, Data váratlan vereséget szenved Kolramitól egy Strategema játszmában, ami miatt az android teljesen elbizonytalanodik és visszavonul a szolgálattól.

“Shall we play a game?” (Said in computer voice, please). Concerned about crew readiness since their run in with the Borg, as he should be, Picard arranges for a training exercise that pits him and the Enterprise against Riker at the helm of a rickety old starship, The Hathaway. Riker and a crew of 40 including Geordi, Worf, and Crusher, are overmatched, but are determined to give the Enterprise a run for its quatloos. Sounds like fun, except the whole thing is overseen by a Starfleet observer, the persnickety Kolrami, an arrogant master of strategy whose haughtiness gives Pulaski the red ass to the point that she manipulates Data into challenging the Zakdorn into a game of Strategema. Data enters a shame spiral when Kolrami easily defeats him and hides in his quarters doing endless diagnostics while their appointment with Riker and The Hathaway looms. Can Picard shake Data out of his digital navel gazing? Can Riker and crew defeat the vastly superior Enterprise with Jean Luc in command? And what the Hell are the Ferengi doing here?
Today, Captain Picard doesn't realize that he's in the military. We find the most awkward shoehorn moment in TNG history, and we ask the question, "How does one cheer for a Strategema match?"
The basics of social security and why it's important.

Peak Performance. Games have a tendency to bring out the best or worst behaviors in players. Competition is innate to human nature and challenges are difficult to resist. Riker challenges Kolrami, a grandmaster of Strategema, knowing he has no chance of winning. We see the USS Hathaway's hand picked crew led by Commander Riker take on the seasoned Captain Picard in a battle simulation to prepare them for the Borg. The strategies used range from predicable to unexpected, especially when they encounter the Ferengi. In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Lee Hutchison and Amy Nelson with special guest Zachary Fruhling discuss "Peak Performance," a season two fan favorite episode. We relate different components of competition, challenge, reputation and failure to the game of life. It is possible to make no mistakes and still lose; that is life!
