It wasn't until  the creature showed up that it all clicked for Picard.

A metaphor takes one thing as a symbol for something else: Juliet’s balcony acts as a figure for romance, Darmok and Jalad as a figure for communion through shared struggle. Even though Troi means “image” as a synonym for metaphor when she says “Image is everything for the Tamarians,” she also implies vanity in Tamarian speech. From the perspective of her declarative speech, the Tamarians are putting on pretenses, covering over a fundamental thing with a decorative one."]]> 2021-05-26 00:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jlleo004/zjzujxr2wmv6jbtd/wish/1559727867 "Our situation is analogous to knowing the grammar of a language, but none of the vocabulary." - Data jlleo004 https://padlet.com/jlleo004/zjzujxr2wmv6jbtd/wish/1559734977 2021-05-26 00:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jlleo004/zjzujxr2wmv6jbtd/wish/1559734977 "Imagery is everything to the Tamarians.
