a lovely job of showing how the culture of the Kalar, the native population, has developed when daily amnesia is part of your life. In particular, a local named Luq (Reed Birney), who helps out the landing party after they’ve been sent to mining duty, explains how the Forgetting, as they call it, is a blessing, freeing you from bad memories and awful experiences. It’s a beautiful bit of world-building, one that makes sense. Cultures adjust to their environment, after all, a truism that Star Trek rarely makes use of.
