Its pretty funny how easily she comes to that conclusion even in the context of the episode. As a rational person and medical proffesional, Crusher should probably assume that the actual cause of the happenings is at least less likely than the possibility that she had gone mad. Later in the episode, they do a better job of clarifying that Crusher has actually considered the possibility of madness, and decided that if that were the case that she ought to try to ignore it and press on with her investigation as anything else would be "giving in to the madness". In a sense, she's looking for another explanation because if she really were insane, she couldn't do anything about it. The initial reveal in this scene is still pretty funny, Crusher basically asks the computer if she's crazy and then takes its response (no) to be unquestionable proof, despite the fact that if she was insane or under the influence of some psychic phenomna, that she'd probably still get the same answer from the computer due to her altered state of perception feeding into itself. When taken to extremes philosophic ideas are really counter to any kind of plot development, and its not surprising an episodic show doesn't fully encapsulate the philosophic concerns of "What is perception? What is sanity?" But I'm glad they tried to tackle tough subjects on occasion even when they sometimes resulted in accidental comedy

Namely, the part where he desperately tries to convince the crew he's powerless now and asks what he can do to to convince them of his mortality, to which Worf dryly replies: 'Die.'

@@brian4804 The title should be ironic though, so a compilation of violence should be more like "TNG is a show about peaceful exploration and coexistance."
I love this show. I really miss the 45 minute episodic, 24 episodes per season trek. A lot of it was filler but it allowed for a lot of character exploration / growth.
Filler is underrated. I find i have less patience for going hard on the same storyline for sixteen or more episodes, it's emotionally taxing. And if the story is stupid, you can't just chuckle and move on, you have to deal with it all season.
The great thing about a mostly episodic show is that it's so easy to just jump in and rewatch a random episode without missing out on much. Plot-heavy shows can be good and all, but if you want to rewatch them you'll probably have to commit to the whole thing

“There’s nothing wrong with me. There’s something wrong with the Universe.” That’s the first thing God said when he tried to rationalize his first mistake.
One of the most insane episodes of TOS. Spock's Brain is scooped out by mentally challenged amazones, from a gender segregated planet, and used as computer, while his brainless body is taken along the search for his brain.
I mean if you made a show serious serious serious every second the show just becomes a figurative straight line, lacking any form of intensity because it all becomes the same. The newer Star Trek shows end up going gritty gritty nihilism dark dark dark with no semblance of hope or happiness, and it all just ends up becoming monotonous.
Unfortunately, it's an ingredient that ST:Discovery lacks. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of _those_ pricks who tears down the show like a self-entitled man-baby. In fact, I kinda like the series, but if their idea for levity is overexposure of an annoying character (i.e. Tilly), then I'm sorry but I'm not amused.
1:38 oh my gosh I remember seeing this out of context and thinking "Oh, it's funny because British child throws temper tantrum" but once I saw the episode and context, its comedy gold.
Data and Worf and Spot - Data’s tell him he’s a pretty cat and a good cat and Worf’s I will feed him and Data’s perhaps that will be enough , never gets old😂
That scene always makes me cringe: they found it acceptable to make that cat hang there in Michael Dorn's hands for all those seconds for a bit of comedy. And how many takes? Yes, they could have done worse-but they also could have chosen something better to do.
Reminds of of Star Wars when Han and C-3PO mentions ‘let the rookie win’ and ‘wookies rip arms out of their sockets when they are upset’ or something like that.
@@smadaf If the actor playing Spot was truly uncomfortable, he wouldn't have been nearly as well behaved. I'm sure it was nowhere near as bad as the gender modification surgery and ensuing pregnancy for the Genesis episode. 😺😺😺
So glad you included the bit where Picard is creeped out by Data when hes trying to sleep. I always cracked me up how Data stares him down as he turns around
"Heh heh, I'm a role model." That line gets even funnier when you realize Sir Patrick Stewart is a fan of Beavis and Butt-Head. The delivery is absolutely on point, lol.
Besides Picard reciting Shakespeare to save Lwaxana, I love the bit in Manhunt where Picard gets Data to crash their "date" by telling them boring anecdotes about other cultures' ceremonies. "Data, this is fascinating! Don't you agree, Mrs. Troi?"
One of my favorite exchanges is missing: When Q becomes a mortal, but nobody believes him. Q: "What must I do to convince you people?!" Worf: "Die." Q: "Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books, lately?"
Jerry Hardin as Samuel Clemens is masterful and underappreciated. He serves no absolutely necessary plot element (that I can recall) but really makes the episode.
It's been my favorite line in all of Star Trek, perhaps in all of media, ever since the episode first premiered way back when. "CAPTAIN! I PROTEST! I AM *_NOT_* A MERRY MAN!!!"
I might have included the famous line about the quadrupling, or more, of a female Betazoid's sex drive, with Rikers accompanying grin. Otherwise, great stuff! 🖖
I remember reading an interview with Brent Spiner back in the day and the article talked about how he was a trained comic actor and he was worried about it being boring to play Data. Of course then he realized playing Data allowed him to be like the ultimate "straight man". Of course you can see a little bit of the comic and a little of the straight man roles in clips like these.
As talented as Spiner and Frakes were, why did they and the directors consistently miss that the line "An endothermic quadraped, carnivorous by nature," is a statement and not a question? "Felus Cattus is your taxonomic nomenclature," full stop. "An endothermic quadraped, carnivorous by nature," full stop.
I've seen the episode I don't know how many times, and yet I've only just noticed Worf extends his pinkie when holding his tea cup. The Son of Mogh is posh as fuck!
2:02 I love how he doesn't realize at first, and when Troi says "Data!", he just looks down and it still takes him a second to realize what just happened
Okay I died laughing. The Mii Channel music makes it funnier! Good stuff. That said, I feel like this is just cherry picked silly moments from the show, and I am okay with this. Because a totally 100% serious show would be boring.
Ok, heres the thing: You EARN moments of levity in a serious show. You show nuance to the characters and break the tension. You endear the audience to the characters and know them to be serious generally while allowing them to have multiple layers. We used to call this WRITING!!!!

But then I realized 3 more episode and its the end of the series. I finished it and felt the void in me. Still holding from watching the movie, keeping it like a fine wine. lol
I think some people mistake saying it's more serious and has philosophy for meaning it was devoid of humour. I like that TNG had these lighter moments throughout all their seasons, and i think they done it very well. When it comes to newer Trek you could make a compilation like this out of 1 season and you'd be here all day, and not in a good way.
1:38 I think the Ferengi’s actor was struggling not to break character, you can see him trying to avoid eye contact and blinking nervously. He’s definitely thinking he spent two hours in makeup and he just wants this to be over
Ever notice Spot (Data's cat) went from being a male to a female? S/he eventually had kittens in the last season (the episode directed by Gates McFadden, I believe). The writers really goofed up there.

I think some people mistake saying it's more serious and has philosophy for meaning it was devoid of humour. I like that TNG had these lighter moments throughout all their seasons, and i think they done it very well. When it comes to newer Trek you could make a compilation like this out of 1 season and you'd be here all day, and not in a good way.
This is probably one of the best trailers for TNG ever made.
Putting Sub Rosa in a video like this is cheating. Might as well just post the whole episode.
I lost it when Data said vamoose, ya little varmint.
Taking this show out of space from time to time seems to have been a great decision on the producers' part.

Data being a cat person is adorable
Nothing screams serious like the Mii Channel Music from the Nintendo Wii >< Love it
Me: I wonder when we'll get a Sub-Rosa reference?
(15 seconds in)
Me: Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go.
My favorite TNG compilation thus far. Love the music. Great work!
This should be used at ALL TNG conventions.
1:38 I think the Ferengi’s actor was struggling not to break character, you can see him trying to avoid eye contact and blinking nervously. He’s definitely thinking he spent two hours in makeup and he just wants this to be over
Ever notice Spot (Data's cat) went from being a male to a female? S/he eventually had kittens in the last season (the episode directed by Gates McFadden, I believe). The writers really goofed up there.
"Vamoose, ya little varmint"
Thank you for assembling a montage of Stuff My Brain Will Continue To Keep In Storage Right Up Until The Moment I Die.
Humour is as much a part of the human experience as intellect, faith, love etc
Great stuff! I kept waiting for the smiley face in the warp core breach though!

I don't know why, in French, Worf only says "I would give him water". It's a bit worrying.
It IS a serious philosophical show. It's also fun.
My favourite is the one where Troi is a cake
Oh yeah. It was a peptide cake, with mint frosting.
Data - "Lt D'Sora gave me what could be considered a very passionate kiss in the torpedo bay."
gotta love how Data was channeling his inner Bob Wheeler
