Goofs
When Armus "removes" Geordi's visor forcefully to toy with him and Data, LeVar Burton's brown eyes are visible as the visor leaves his face (especially visible with freeze frame). The Geordi character is blind, with fully white eyeballs instead of colored irises/pupils. See more »Quotes
Lt. Tasha Yar: [her final words] Death is that state in which one exists only in the memory of others, which is why it is not an end. No goodbyes. Just good memories. Hailing frequencies closed, sir.Capt. Picard: Au revoir, Natasha.

When the Enterprise answers a distress call from a downed shuttlecraft that was carrying Deanna Troi and another crew member the away team finds itself on a barren planet inhabited a creature made of primordial ooze named /armus. It has an intelligence that is directed at sadism and cruelty.
Unfortunately they lose one of the cast regulars as the creature kills Denise Crosby. Patrick Stewart engages in quite the battle of wits with it until they figure out how and when to beam up their crew. When is most important here as you'll discover.
A nice memorial service for Tasha Yar concludes the episode.
