At least they made one episode about the junior officers on the lower decks.
Which later became an actual series about that.
Now if only they could meet the crew of Discovery.
Imagine Boimler meeting Saru or Tilly
Sorry nope TNG is one of those series I can only recall the episodes I like lol.
When the Bough Breaks
I don't think we've ever seen so many Enterprise civilians in one room together other than 10 Forward!
That did in fact feature one never before seen civilian who was never seen again
I suppose we could also count episodes that focused on a child... "The Bonding", "New Ground", "Hero Worship", "Imaginary Friend", "Rascals".
True. I specifically tried to leave those out, because children kind of needed a separate category.
Imagine you're a civilian doing a job on the Enterprise (like a waiter or barber), minding your own business, suddenly "RED ALERT RED ALERT" the ship shakes and you get tossed from side to side. Then the alarm stops. You have no clue what happened and your kids are scared. Later a mysterious light wanders through the corridors, engulfing a person in front of you who disappears with a blood-curdling scream. You still don't know what happened. At night you go to sleep in the cabin, and you are woken up by a bizarre being who shouts "RESISTANCE IS USELESS, YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED!" and he's about to grab your wife. The security guys come in, they shoot him, he screams and emits sparks and the security guys go off to handle another emergency. You still don't understand what's happening...
I like Schisms for a lot of reasons. Added to that list is that the group of people featured in the counseling session, that they have to compare experiences, is a civilian woman... Just like there without any explanation, because that should just be commonplace, civilian people of all types just being there for whatever reason, and also being subject to the phenomenon of the week.
I mean forgetting Guinan, isn't Keiko technically also a civilian?

So hang on if they can bring back to life frozen people who technically are dead death has no meaning.
That was always sketchy to me too. I guess we have to assume 24th century medicine is drastically better at resuscitating people whose heart had stopped, AND that just as they were close to expiring, they already had the cryogenic system prepped for the very moment of death to be right when they immediately freeze them. Plus we have to be talking about death in terms of the heart stopping.
This is one of the reasons why civilians, and most certainly children, should not be assigned on Starfleet ships.
It's weird. A broken neck or stab wound will still kill, or even a fear induced heart attack. But you can literally restore a person who's been mixed with another on a molecular level.
BUT, BUT, BUT, Transporter
All they'd have to do is run them through that with their last pattern and restart their heart. BAM!!!!!!!! cured of broken neck and death
