| Jan 29, 2019 at 17:28 | comment | added | Mazura | Not Darmok? Then check out the movie Enemy Mine. | |
| Jan 29, 2019 at 14:46 | comment | added | jdm | It's a bit of a stretch, but could it be Where silence has lease? The alien, Nagilum, is vaguely amphibian looking and laughs a bit. Picard is not on a planet, but has a scene alone with him. And the alien talks about the Humans' "construction". | |

| Jan 29, 2019 at 0:56 | comment | added | gidds | I wouldn't call ‘ugly bags of mostly water’ an allegory — it's a direct description (albeit a pointedly unfamiliar one), not using symbols or story or metaphor or simile or hidden meaning or anything but literal description. (Unlike the Tamarians in ‘Darmok’, who spoke only in allegorical reference and allusion.) | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 23:37 | comment | added | Valorum | Presumably you're referring to this handsome fellow. vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/7/78/… | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 22:08 | comment | added | Marcel | Sorry people. But this alien looks a lot like the captain of the old starship that left a log message on the episode: " Booby Trap". Any clues? Thanks for your feedback! | |

| Jan 28, 2019 at 18:07 | comment | added | Verdan | Was the term they used for us "ugly bags of mostly water"? | |

| Jan 28, 2019 at 17:03 | comment | added | Cupit | I was thinking it could also be Armus in "Skin of Evil". It has an evil laugh and at the end of the episode, Picard is alone with it on the planet before he tricks it and beams out. | |
| Jan 28, 2019 at 16:29 | comment | added | Valorum | The amphibian-like alien laughing is most likely from Darmok | |
