John Anderson, the actor playing Kevin Uxbridge lost his wife a few months before filming this episode. He claimed the episode was one of the most difficult of his career because of its subject matter. "How I wish I could have died with her." You can feel the raw emotion in his voice while he's delivering those lines. John died in 1992, 3 years after this episode aired.

One of my more memorable TNG episodes, as one tries to comprehend the scale of Kevin's crime, and as Picard says, what would punishment for such a being even mean for mortals like us. In the end the best and only thing to do, is leave him the hell alone to grieve and deal in his own way about the extinction he committed through anger.

How lovely to hear you say, Jess, that this episode is one of your favorites of Next Gen thus far. It is an immensely terrific standout. A highlight is the guest appearances of the wonderful character actors, John Anderson and Anne Haney. I saw their names in the credits, recognized the names, and guessed correctly who they were, as I said, “These are the people that I’m thinking of, yes?” Their voices alone confirmed that before you even see them. Yes, despite the shared favoring of character focus on Star Trek, this is an occasion where the plot focus is done so well. A most terrifying, odd, yet terrific mystery that underlines the entire episode, and the slow burn of it all is so superbly well done. In terms of connecting the dots, and mind you, this is aided by Picard’s relatability, Picard felt like a stand-in for me in that you pick up certain threads of the tapestry, whilst you’re still unable to ascertain precisely the full pattern until the end. I did love how you caught some things as well. The casting helps as with John and Anne, it genuinely could have gone either way of them being authentically sweet, or sinister. Marina excels in this episode, making a man’s heart break seeing Deanna so distressed, and in the gorgeous blue dress at that. The gorgeous blue dress, by the way, is one of my favorites of Deanna’s ensemble. The color really suits her. It looks very nice. Picard and Beverly showed wonderful concern for Deanna, more than Riker, who yes, you do say, “William, your lady love is in distress. Get the goddamn lead out.” though in fairness, he did clock Deanna’s distress, and I surmise Picard just simply beat Riker to the punch on checking in on her. Two big red flags of what’s up are how Kevin sidesteps the excellence of our heroes. The shuttle matching Geordi’s brilliance, loved your encouragement of Geordi, and how they supposedly fool Worf, which you can tell Picard notes that Worf, in addition to being that good, would not make the same mistake twice. Picard, it feels, has the same thoughts as I did when it starts falling into place, in that he recalls that saying, “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.” My dad would have appreciated Picard’s exact words on the one promise of he won’t set foot in the house again, and he proceeded to beam the couple up. Dad would have gotten a laugh on that one. It all builds to the grand denouement where Kevin reveals all. And the power of the scene is such, that it got me real good, both when seeing the scene itself, and when it reduced you to stunned silence, Jess. John just breaks your heart in his big scene at the end. Because of course he does. My favorite show is M*A*S*H. I’ve seen John’s guest appearance on M*A*S*H among other things that I’ve seen him in which includes Psycho, by the way. He made everyone weep in his guest appearance on M*A*S*H. I don’t even want to think about it too hard as I’ll just start crying again. Hence, it’s no surprise that the man really gets the tears flowing in his guest appearance here on Next Gen. As I see has been commented, John is not entirely acting as he lost his own wife months before the episode was filmed, and it shows. I share your view on the ending. This tends to be a popular read, for three parts. One, as said, there’s no law that’s able to cover the sheer scope and horror of the crime. Two, as again, has been commented on, there’s nothing one is able to do to Kevin. Three, Picard senses Kevin is punishing himself with the guilt, and that in itself is the punishment to fit the crime. Continuing to live with the guilt and pain, unable to die, living in the isolation and fantasy, and knowing that it is a fantasy. This is well summarized by Patrick’s superb line delivery of Picard’s log, which provides a perfect cap for one of the saddest endings of Star Trek. And again, I love that you loved it so, Jess. Other small notes. Worf provided some nice moments. For instance, Worf was a big sweetie in his complimenting Kevin’s gall with the ineffective phaser. And I loved your response to Worf’s “Good tea. Nice house.” line, and I love how you say you’re going to use said line the next time you are a guest at someone’s house. I also am tickled how Worf drinks his tea with his pinky up. Good man. No worries on almost saying the youtube outro. You do record a lot; hence it stands to reason that every now and then you get mixed up what you’re filming. I get days mixed up sometimes, saying a, “Is this a, what day is this?” type of response when that happens. So, again, no worries. Just one of the loveliest Star Trek reactions, Jess, that I so adored and appreciated, thank you so much.

There are certain Star Trek episodes like The City on the Edge of Forever, The Measure of a Man, and In the Pale Moonlight that are continually held up as the pinnacle of what the franchise can be. You don't ever seem to hear The Survivors included among them, but as far as I'm concerned it definitely deserves to be, and is something I regularly point to in these days of prestige TV meaning 8-10 serialized episodes to show just how mature, deep, and thoughtful an episodic structure is capable of being. And not in a showy edgelord way, but a fully genuine one that makes you just sit and think about what you experienced. As noted above, John Anderson had recently lost his wife before filming, and that raw grief is very evident and provides one of the show's most memorable guest performances. Anne Haney also provides a marvelous role, even if it's a bit distracting how well known she is now for a certain other scene involving tea. There was a time when I found myself funny, but today she has proven me wrong. The mystery is pulled off perfectly, constantly keeping you guessing and with a payoff that fully earns the buildup. It's the kind of things our minds are not equipped to handle the scale of, and Patrick and Gates' silent reactions to the monologue add so much to that feeling. And then there's Deanna, where tension, apprehension, and dissention have begun, a concept that easily could have come off as silly in a less quality episode, but between Marina working her ass off to sell the pain and desperation, and the music itself hitting that perfect sweet spot of getting why it could drive someone so nuts while not actually being physically painful to listen to as much as we do, it's one more essential element of what makes this one so great. After all, who hasn't had a moment, probably quite a few, where you get seriously concerned this is the time where you'll finally be driven legit insane by Tripledent Gum? I knew this one would really get to you, and that instant concern every time we cut back to her was even more than I expected.
