Clip of Dwight Schultz as Reg Barclay

[@profblack]

Barclay is one of my favourite characters of all time. Purely because I was with the rest of the crew in disliking him at first but then came to understand him just as they did.
It’s something that not many other shows attempt with such earnestness.

Lt. Barclay is one of my favorite Star Trek characters. New subscriber.

[@TheGreatSeraphim]

They really wrote the character well. Watching him try to hold it together and pretend to be what they expected, but he was far from going into that man yet. They expected him to run when he wasn't even crawling yet. But ultimately cracking under the enormous pressure they put him under, no one can handle that for long.

[@cane6074]

As a kid I did not make the connection about the scene, I knew who Barkley was but I did not know it was him do to the fact he was not a regular character on the show. Years later and seeing it again, I cant help but be very amused now that I could make the connection now, very nice cameo. Its well written as well because if a viewer did not watch star trek regularly, you could just see him as random but euthanistic crew member making an embarrassment of himself and viewer having a laugh at it. But if you were a Trekie, its just Barkley being his amusing and brilliant but awkward self. Robert Picardo and Ethan Philips were great as well in their cameos, a they did not look out place or taped on unlike we see in modern movies.

[@KaizokuShojo]

Love it XD I've been wanting to see this for months.

[@dgodrummer8110]

James Cromwell is such an underrated actor. I have always enjoyed his movies.

[@Stefanthenautilus]

He has such range too, playing a huge variety of characters. In the 90s alone he did this film, Babe, and L.A. Confidential, all very different but all masterful performances.

[@dgodrummer8110]

[@al307antony2]

I hoped for the same thing. Until I realized space isn’t what “they” tell us it or how it’s portrayed in movies. Space= science fiction

[@Enzo-em1te]

Very unlikely in order to do that we need to get to relativistic velocities first, meaning we have to learn about harnessing fusion and even antimatter

[@lorencproductions]

…hopefully withOUT 1/3rd of the world’s population being obliterated in nuclear hellfire though.

[@ThatGuyBrian]

@@al307antony2 Space itself isn't science fiction. The term refers to effectively everything beyond a certain layer of Earth's (or any other given planet's) atmosphere.
However, its portrayal in science fiction does carry varying degrees of inaccuracy. How ships in Star Trek or Star Wars maneuver, for example, are pretty much at odds with orbital mechanics. There's also a good chance we won't see a million other species that are just humans with different forehead ridges - if we ever get to encounter extraterrestrial life at all.

[@christopherdean1326]

@@ThatGuyBrian I'm afraid there are people around today, with access to the internet, who claim to believe that space, as in "stuff outside earth's atmosphere" does not exist. At all. They are of course either trolls, or completely insane, but they are out there. In every sense of the words....

Interesting time travel question - did Zephren really invent the engine for time travel or did the future boys actually "invent it " from memory and assume it was Zephren invented it because that is what is in the history books. Maybe Reg is responsible for warp drive?

[@christopherdean1326]

Well, no. The time travel came about through the Borg going back to stop Cochrane's test flight, nothing to do with what Cochrane wanted to achieve.

[@Dularr]

The time travel is a bit mushy in this movie. They show the Borg assimilating Earth and the Enterprise crew defeating the Borg. Both can't happen.

[@946towguy2]

@@christopherdean1326 Unless it is a paradox and alteration of the prime timeline. Perhaps warp drive was not invented on Earth, but was inadvertently brought there by Vulcans, Ferenghi or some other species crash landing on the planet in the 20th century. Maybe the history only record Cochrane as the inventor because of time travel.
