Tasha Yar / Denise Crosby Waves Goodbye In "Symbiosis"

This very short clip is from Star Trek: The Next Generation Season One, (when Denise Crosby played Chief of Security Lieutenant Natasha Yar). In 1987/88 Crosby decided to leave the show and even though her character is killed by Armus in "Skin of Evil", they shot the preceeding episode "Symbiosis" last. Look in the cargobay in the background, you will see her waving goodbye to the camera and her fans! A pure and true TNG moment.

Hey, thats too sharp (for?) a piece of observation. I had to replay this and finally caught the moment at 0:21 - are you an insider? Or got this from somewhere?

[califortune]

Not an insider, just a fan. I grew up on TNG, I love this show with all of my heart. I know lots of little details about it like you wouldn't believe. I'm still bummed out their voyage ended with Nemesis.

As an example of another little detail, one of those gentlemen there, "beaming down", is Merritt Butrick, aka David Kirk from Star Trek II & III!

Blink and you miss it. Great. Touching little moment. Thanks for posting!

[Grayvorn]

That is brilliant. Tasha's was probably the most shocking character death I've ever seen.

[horaciosi]

Every time i hear the sounds that the door makes, i always think about this scene

[WambliPeta]

DUDE! That was awesome! How many times have I missed that?!? Thank you 8-)

She jumped ship too quick and, unfortunately, the brass killed her character to release her from the show. Ha, should have entitled the episode "No Way Back". Really sucked because she had so much potential, but alas, the moment has long since passed...

[uzimodem]

she said later it was a BIG mistake leaving the show. Actors, jeez!

[cmsahe]

Hey that's the boyfriend of Khan!

[bentbob09]

AWESOME!

[wadyano]

that was cute of her.

[AngryOfMayfair]

That is pretty cool actually.

[Valkyrie7]

I was VERY shocked and very sad when she died...

[GloriousMaximus]

Ugh Tasha was my favourite character for pretty much all of the Star Trek series. I was so pissed when she died.
