YMMV / Star Trek The Next Generation S 7 E 4 Gambit

• Complete Monster: T'Paal, alias Tallera, is a member of a Vulcan isolationist movement that wants to violently purge Vulcan of all alien elements, believing outsiders are a threat to Vulcan purity. Tallera wants to recreate an ancient Vulcan doomsday weapon, the Stone of Gol, that allows a Vulcan to increase their telepathic abilities and kill with a thought. Tallera steals a part of the Stone of Gol from a museum on Vulcan and secretly hires Baran and his mercs to find the other parts of the Stone of Gol by raiding ancient Vulcan ruins across the Quadrant. After Tallera obtains the Stone of Gol, she uses it to kill some of the mercs she hired when they complain she did not deliver the reward she promised. Tallera uses the Stone of Gol to try to kill Picard and members of his crew before she attempts to use it violently to purge Vulcan of all alien elements.
• Like You Would Really Do It: It is safe to say that not a single viewer believed that Picard had actually been killed off.
