• ... that "The High Ground", a 1990 episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, was finally broadcast uncensored in the United Kingdom in 2006?

I removed the redirect from High Ground

There was a redirect from High ground to this page. I removed that and replaced it with a redirect to the main high ground article, and gave it a "for other uses" tag to a disambiguation page that leads here. In case you weren't watching that redirect, I just thought you might want to know. -NorsemanII 19:39, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Can we get a detailed discription of the episode, and it's significance?

I see that an anon. user has added in some detail about the episode, which is a good start. However it's very incomplete and there are many inaccuracies in it. Can someone who knows the episode well do a detailed and accurate description of the episode, and furthermore; can we get a more detailed explanation over it's controversy? For one thing can we get the quote from the episode about Irish Terrorism? I would try to do this myself, however I've only ever seen this episode once (because it was banned) so I don't remember a great deal of details. --Hibernian 17:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite of plot section

I'm in the process of rewriting the plot section of this article, and should have it up shortly. Out of respect for the original writers, I really wanted to enhance what was already there instead of just dumping it and starting over (even though the latter would be much easier). I can imagine how I would feel if someone just blasted one of my articles and replaced it. However, there just wasn't much there to work with, so I hope the original authors can forgive me. I did make an effort at least to keep some of the the spirit of some of the original section. Wikidenizen 14:13, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Wow, this plot stills looks really long to me... IMO, there should just be a plot summary, and something at 4-5 paragraphs or so at that... But that's just me of course. :-) — Northgrove 03:03, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

"Censorship" ?!?

Unless someone can provide a link to solid evidence that the UK and/or Irish governments were actively involved in activity to prevent this episode being aired, can we lose the highly emotive and extremely misleading title "censorship", please? The episode undoubtedly wasn't aired because of the highly insensitive and controversial nature of part of the script, I've no doubt - but the overwhelming probability is that the decision was taken by the (politically independent) broadcasters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.33.128 (talk) 22:10, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

I added a reference to a radiotimes article (link found in the video description at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHsoPPynIIc ). Although it has not answered your question, but from my personal opinion, I think the BBC was just being cautious Rombust (talk) 10:39, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I think it wasn't shown because British and Irish mainstream audiences would have been annoyed (to put it mildly) by the boneheaded, tin-eared script. Melinda M. Snodgrass wrote several patronising and utterly clueless Trek scripts based on Anglo-Irish issues and culture. --Ef80 (talk) 17:55, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
