I like how because it's star trek they have to remind you it's not a normal barber shop with the aliens and the wacky glowing rod thing. What could that thing possibly be doing. If it's just a drying device, why all the wacky lights
@@hansolo631 Yep, gotta love when they include details like that! The real answer is because it's a prop they already had, they use that rod with glowing lights often throughout the show, usually relating to repairs or analysis. Nothing says sci-fi like blinking lights and electronic humming 😂 It changes the color of her hair, so my assumption is that it's the 24th century replacement of hair dye.
By this time, I would think there would be a device that's an advanced set of clippers, capable of being programmed to precisely cut hair to a specific length and style. Even today, using scissors to create LaForge's high and tight haircut wouldn't be done, especially by a barber maniacally bouncing up and down like that!
that's what i don't understand about them. both have been exposed long and thoroughly to human influence yet they still behave like a bunch of outsiders. ffs worf was raised by humans.
Unironically this is one of my favorite episodes, just feels so unique and interesting as a shift in the formula, and I always enjoy the slice of life stuff in Trek.
I just realized from your comment that this is in the format of a slice-of-life anime. No wonder I like it so much. One of the most charming episodes in the series.
Yes, the severe inbalance towards the fomulaic bothers me. It is also an expression of society as a whole. (And one should decide what audience to attract/promote based on the material) A comparable example I could bring: There was an episode of MLPFiM where due to episode play time constraints they couldn't spend more than a fleeting exposure on the problem and then had to swiftly go right to the solution, so almost all of the episode was just a high-spirited musical, and I found that awesome. - Excessive and forced drama burned me out a bit, I guess.
I really wish we had gotten more "slice of life" episodes. I know most would find it boring but I'd really love just seeing more of a "casual day" for Picard, Riker, Jeordi, Worf, Diana, and the rest. No big battles. No really weird phenomona. Maybe even just an exploration following a citizen family on a regular day where nothing major happens. Again, I know that sounds boring, but to me, it'd help with immersion, world-building, and feeling like this is a real place with real people.
@@JamesR624 I do that routinely in an adventure with AI... She's a priestess who I try to help save her world from destruction at the time. We're kinda busy trying to come up with a solution fast, but there's always some side quest and we end up camping in a forest or at a festival meeting townspeople... and I make sure to interact with the locals and find out as much about the world as I go, to keep things interesting for the reader and bring the world building forward.
I love how Worf says “These…things” and “…talking, and dancing, and crying.” His words are dripping with distaste. A great little performance by Michael Dorn.
He always becomes the part he is playing. Always have to remind myself that he is the same actor who drove a CHP patrol car with Jon and Ponch. And became president around a bunch of "Heroes".
@@yourstruly4817 Kuken Balle probably means feeling detached or distant from other people. Rob is talking about all the crazy rituals we have that don't seem crazy because they're normal in our society. If you want further details, ask Worf. 😆
@@yourstruly4817 not him but im a sperg who grew up watching this and im pretty sure hed agree that the reason hes saying that is because aspergers effects social development in a way that you have trouble detecting and using stuff like mild intonation and stuff like jokes or sarcasm, because you have slight trouble reading the emotions of people through stuff like body language because you do not expirence these things in the same way as neurotypicals, so you end up acting similar to data. it is my long standing theory that data was created to have a character relatable to autistic folk and councillor troy was put in there to verbaly explain social queues that might be missed. if not then its just a happy accident but im pretty sure they knew a lot of the audience had trouble with this stuff even if autism awareness was low when the show was made
@@Falcrist It’s more that data doesn’t really understand social cues well, People with aspergers often struggle understanding social cues and systems, I myself often had issues, It probably explains why data can relate so well
"Well, just don't try it on the captain." "...No." I like how, even though he's trying to learn humor, Data has already mastered humor through dry understatement without even trying.
Yes! I find this part an ironic example of how Data almost understands already. Maybe he didn't draw conclusions here he already could. Or it's a writing error, I can't tell. But it works.
1. You ended this on the perfect beat!! 2. I don't think we ever saw that "store" on the Enterprise before or since. I love glimpses into "rare rooms" on the D.
"I find their stark philosophy to be somewhat...limited." Data has an advantage over humans, in that he's neither intimidated by, nor frustrated by, nor irritated by Vulcans and their...demeanor.
It's because Data is logic based himself and knows to an extent how they think and operate so he can handle them. Once he got his emotion chip and installed it to have emotions, he likely found them to be mildly annoying but still knew how to handle them. After all, if he can handle and outwit the Borg Queen, Vulcans are beings he can deal with.
When my brother and I were getting into Star Trek as kids, along with some “oh I remember Star Trek!” talk from my dad, this was the episode that made my mom laugh out loud and start watching with us. Always been one of my favorites!
When I first saw this episode and the ambassador asked for the output of the defensive shields, I could hardly believe he didn't report the request to the captain. Such a request, even unfulfilled, should be reported. Picard can say, "She was just testing your programming. He's the captain so he can do that. Data does not have the luxury of not reporting such a request. When he didn't report it, I was thinking _What is _*_wrong_*_ with you. Any such request must be reported even if the information is not divulged._
AS THE EPISODE ENDS: Riker: "Data, next episode, try turning OFF your external thought monitor. It's quite distracting." Data: Looks puzzled... Head twitches... "Thank you Sir."
1:14 The moment Picard introduced Riker, the ambassador knew what was up and wanted none of it :P 2:28 I guess even after so many years, Picard's still sensitive about the bald spot.
Brent Spiner played so many characters in Star Trek TNG that I lost count: Data, Lore, Dr. Noonien Soong, Ira Graves (after taking possession of Data's body in The Schizoid Man, s02e06), 5 mythological characters in Masks s07e17).
2:33 - Much as I love a lot about TNG, they really needed some work with some of their aliens. They didn't have the budget to do fully non-humanoid aliens via CGI, but they also seemed reluctant to just have aliens that looked like humans with pointy ears, or some other mild alteration, like TOS Vulcans, Romulans, Klingons, and a whole host of look-just-like-humans aliens in TOS. So we get what we have at 2:33 standing behind Data, where they look like humans that were in an absolutely horrific motorcycle accident, who then got treated by a plastic surgeon who was taking acid right before surgery.
@@NeilFraser - Oh man. I remember watching TOS on reruns as a kid back in the 70s. My dad laughed himself into tears at the Horta. Said it looked like a plate of goulash slithering along. Still, great story.
I just caught the lady behind Data getting her hair color changed. I wonder how many folks would even remember that little hidden gem from the past 30 years since the show aired? 😆
On many occasions, such as this one, the comments in the section below the video is just as entertaining as the video itself. Star Trek fans. They're the best.
This is indeed a bit of a comfort zone for me, especially after clicked on a Twitter hashtag. (But I am getting more experienced in filtering my experiences there.)
"Hey, LaForge, have you considered trying a new hair color?" "I actually did that for a few months, many years ago... but it was always a hassle to touch up the roots, you know what I mean?"
@M Z Don't mind me; I'm always looking for situations in these TNG episodes where I can make references to the casts' roles in other shows & movies. The more obscure, the better.
So, in a 1,000 man crew + families, the "ordinary day" includes 4 birthdays (seems pretty low actually), two personnel transfers (probably a little high, but sure), two chess tournaments (ok), 1 secondary school play, and four promotions. Thats a lot of school plays and promotions. Unless he means the lack of unusual first contacts or negative space wedgies by the "ordinary" bit
This scene with Worf complaining about weddings is even funnier after watching Insurrection and Worf getting drunk off of Romulan ale at River and Troi’s wedding reception.
2:36 It’s at this point I completely lose interest in Data and Geordi’s conversation and start wondering who that big haired woman is, what species she is and why the hell that wand her hairdresser is using needs to make that noise.
And why is the barber still using scissors and not a plasma quantum subspace nanite electro proton razor? After all, they replaced microwave ovens with frickin' matter replicators!
Imagine that: They still have barbers. No haircut machines. (But a recolor stick. ... Still using damn scissors, though, and not even some advanced form of electrical razor.) Also, browsing through a replicator catalogue for some dustcatcher is about the most unskillful way of picking a wedding present.
Some often say the stardate and time of the year is wrong because of the Hindu festival .... but Data says not "the celebration of", he says "a celebration of". So it is not THE celebration at all (in November, as I remember), it is A celebration, maybe by some Hindus aboard.
I would have assumed a Vulcan ambassador would have added a "Please" or something... not because she thinks it's necessary, but because her job is diplomacy. Vulcans might think Human customs are bit silly, but it's not like they're unaware of such customs, and it costs nothing to observe them while on a diplomatic mission to a Human ship.
@@tomcutts9200 Well those she's a Romulan "playing" a Vulcan. Romulans have more of a range of emotion so she's got to go by what she thinks a Vulcan would do. But I agree that a real Vulcan ambassador would know what might be expected in human society.
Rudeness isn't a Vulcans normal behavior, this should have been a warning. Certainly it was a learning experience for the crew especially the officers, obviously they did learn with this," interesting experience". Perhaps the next spy will behave in a more Vulcan approach, and by this full them one more time. And the captain said " full me once...
A logical person would consider said gift to be adequate and acceptable. An emotional person who is more concerned with money and social status than the actual friendship would not. Unfortunately, said gift of your choosing could reveal the latter part of the 'friend' and their inner psyche being flawed, or at the very least easily manipulated by consumerism and/or subliminal messaging - which is very common in western advertisement.
Ah yes. Nothing better than the traditional human bonding rituals that involve a great deal of talking, dancing, crying, and of course beans! ....wait a second that checks out 😂
Data: This does not remind me of you. Dancing...hmm. Logically then, the best gift for you would be to show up as a merry man, and dance for them. Worf: IF YOU WERE ANY OTHER ANDROID I WOULD KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND

Data & Worf is the most underrated Star Trek friendship. Two people stuck in a human world they never fully understand.
Find it hard to believe that Worf is so unfamiliar having grown up around humans.
Worf understood he is just a Klingon.
@@TexasGTO Oh it's possible. Trust me.

Also, Worf needs to download the Amazon app.
The episode takes place on 23rd October 2367. A monday
Data says that it's the Indian festival of lights, which is Diwali, it was easy to find out the date, on which diwali will fall in the year 2367.
And the day after my 397th birthday!

Great episode thanks for the video.

Data: …I find their stark philosophy to be somewhat…”limited”
Did Data just call Vulcans dumb? 😆
He called them *rigid.*
I interpreted it as "unimaginative" or, as 3Rayfire said, "rigid." Being stark/limited has little/nothing to do with intelligence.
Furthermore, "dumb," means unable to speak, not lacking intelligence.
:12 Looks like a refit Ambassador-class
never trust a barber whose race doesn't grow hair!
Are you worried he might be taking shortcuts?
Good point
What's funny is there was a similar line in Andy Griffith Show.
That's what I was thinking.
I see another reference mass effect used. The Vulcan dressed like the Salaraian Dalatrass.
I believe this episode came before Mass Effect. Maybe the inspiration went the other direction!
Imagine that: They still have barbers. No haircut machines. (But a recolor stick. ... Still using damn scissors, though, and not even some advanced form of electrical razor.)
Also, browsing through a replicator catalogue for some dustcatcher is about the most unskillful way of picking a wedding present.
That awkward turbolift silence. 😂
Lots of poetry read at Hooman weddings as well, Worf.
3:16 - There was a room specifically dedicated to replicators on the Enterprise?
Probably the starship equivalent of a "vendomat." There's probably a common laundry facility next door.
Dude she didn't even say hello?

lol the alien hairdresser is Shelly Desai, who plays Frank's landlord Hwang in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Some often say the stardate and time of the year is wrong because of the Hindu festival .... but Data says not "the celebration of", he says "a celebration of". So it is not THE celebration at all (in November, as I remember), it is A celebration, maybe by some Hindus aboard.
It's not irony, Data. It's SARCASM.
You don't even have to pay for that merch? Cool!
Must be hard to say no to a kid screaming for a toy when you can’t say “we can’t afford it”
It's true. Weddings involve a LOT of talking (and crying and dancing).

Unfortunately, said gift of your choosing could reveal the latter part of the 'friend' and their inner psyche being flawed, or at the very least easily manipulated by consumerism and/or subliminal messaging - which is very common in western advertisement.
But then wouldn't the pressure to find the perfect thing be even worse? Since the baseline act of giving a gift would have less meaning?

Data: This does not remind me of you. Dancing...hmm.
Logically then, the best gift for you would be to show up as a merry man, and dance for them.
Worf: IF YOU WERE ANY OTHER ANDROID I WOULD KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND
Data needs to meet Kryten.
