"Commander, do you always see like this?" "Only when I'm high, sir." "And is it your *custom* to intoxicate yourself before going on a mission?" *cough cough* "We're on a mission?"
"All routes are equally dangerous." "Well what's the _least_ dangerous route?" Fortunately, Data is too polite to point out the stupidity of that question. :-)
@Főfasírozó The risk factors could be obscure enough that, even though one route might actually be safer than another, it could be impossible to distinguish the chances of from another accurately. At least I think that's what he's saying?
Equally dangerous in terms of likelyhood to cause injury or mission failure. Least dangerous in how severe that injury would be. But yea, that's was pretty stupid and that's the only out I could give him
Just to say, as a half blind person from birth, scenes like this demonstrate to me just how inclusive this show really was and this was fifteen years before I was even born. Years later, every time someone throws me a particularly hurtful remark, I always find my way back here
I feel like this show really influences a certain type of people. We got this show. It impacted us. Picard is still a role model of mine, and the day Patrick Stewart passes away will be a hard hit. There's a reason I still fall asleep to this show being on.

@@undrhil Quite frankly, Jean-Luc Picard was passionate about Data's skills, potential and personality. I remember in the pilot episode "Encounter to Farpoint" during his inspection tour in the engering room he had fun seeing Chief O'Brien and Data interact about a metaphor that Data didn't understand. While reviewing the entire show, I saw that Patrick Stewart made several episodes of the show, but almost all of the episodes have in common the fact that they are centered on Lt. Commander Data. I do not know if it is a coincidence or a voluntary choice, but the storys was good 👍👍
Malik Hedir That wasn’t the pilot episode. That was the series finale “All Good Things” where Picard was transported back to the crew’s first mission by Q.
The place looks like it has been hit by a train, clearly a catastrophe has occurred. Lets put on the happy music to show off our cool future tech on this dangerous mission.
The Visual Acuity Transmitter was the one thing I liked about this episode as for the first time it allowed the crew to see what Geordie sees through his V.I.S.O.R. now that was really neat even if it didn't last for very long as Data and Geordie did mention it's range was limited.
This was suppose to be a representation of a "live feed" camera. Sadly with all their technology, warp-speed, transporters, shields...the concept of a live feed camera was to unreasonable/farfetched to ever use again lol. Goes to show how difficult it is for the writers, knowing what real future tech to use or leave out, isnt always easy. (and keep in mind this was written in the late 80's)
That's definitely not the reason we don't see this again. They regularly communicate across hundreds of light years in real time over subspace. Using the VISOR as a live feed is pretty tame in comparison.
They would have been better off using the helmet cams the Colonial Marines used in Aliens. All kidding aside, why the hell doesn't the away team transmit a video feed back to the ship so Picard doesn't have to keep asking, "what's going on?"
@@callumwearne7870 And this the only time during the series where they use Geordi's visor in this manner. There are dozens of episodes where Picard is asking the away team, "what's going on?", "report!", "what do you see?:, etc. Really is ridiculous that they never send back a video feed of what the away team is seeing or dealing with.
We have to remember that this was created in the 80. A time when video was downloading a 5 second animated gif that took 5 minutes.

For those who who wish you could see like this, here's the downsides of using a VISOR: Wearing a VISOR is a very painful business because of the extremely large amount information being fed into your visual cortex all at once.
I remember him saying that in the first episode. There would also be the draw back of the visor malfunctioning or being broken, or even just getting knocked off like when he was on the turbolift.
This always seemed like Picard was intentionally playing stupid. "Jordi, what's that you're eating... A ham.... Hammmm burger? A hamburger? What is it made of? What does it taste like?"
WHOA that's Geordi's visual acuity ....amazing. I bet he's around 20/800 with the visor on. Because it looks like he sees shapes and light emanations. This is fascinating to see what HE sees ....now I see how he walks around and navigates.
@@Emp6ft10in True, I do also remember in one episode where Beverly Crusher said she could give him human like vision but he declined, I suppose from his point of view, he was born blind and likely got used to that kind of vision he sees so it's normal for him. It begs the question, why wasn't he giving much better vision at birth, surely they had the tech at that time to do it and he would have had normal vision then.
@@paul1979uk2000 blind births are probably rare. there might have been medical debates about removing/replacing baby-geordi's eyes that concluded he should try to keep his biological eyes intact; they might find a way to fix them later... so they set him up with the external hardware (visor) to let him see & let his eyes grow 'normally' purely to keep their options open
@@PyrokineticFire1 Maybe but I suspect it had more to do with wanting a diverse craw and considering what Star Trek was all about, having a black woman on tv and all that, having a blind crew mate as well as an android played right into that and very likely having a Klingon that just 100 years earlier was an enemy but now is a crew mate, this is basically what they wanted to show in Star Trek in the olden days, that anyone can be a part of it no matter what background they are from.
It kind of regresses, being as the visor isn't too comfortable, at least as a prop as the actor Burton states. Then again, VR is pretty much replaced by the holodeck.
the health and safety measures in the 24th century are amazing arent they? " lets beam ourselves into a disaster zone wearing no protective gear apart from spandex jumpers and flat soled shoes :)
And the visual acuity transmitter seems to have a really lousy mic to record the rumble of the derelict ship that their communicators cannot record! What an age we live in!
You would think they would have demonstrated this to Picard in a conference room before using it for the 1st time on a damaged ship getting ready to explode....but what the hell...there is plenty of time to ask questions ....
I'm not sure why they couldn't send a probe over there either. We used "snake cams" and small drones that had 1080P video transmission capability in rescues and SWAT incidents since the time when the show aired. Someone should have talked to the rescue workers in the '80s and '90s about their tech. Then people wouldn't be saying WTF don't they give the "away team" cameras?
"Yes Geordi, shove your soft, fleshy face right into the part of the bulkhead that's losing integrity and flashing like there's some evil attempting to escape. Closer. Cloooosssseeerrrr. C'mon, Starfleet doesn't pay by the hour... or at all... whatever, anyway, hurry up!"
It was in season 1 -> Riker had no beard and Geordi had the red uniform, unfortunately I no longer remember which episode this scene is taken from. Can you tell me please ?
Season 1 Episode 20 "Heart of Glory" Backfills some of Worf's lore, and as far as I know it's the only time we see a visual transmission of Geordi's viser until the Klingons do it again in "Generations".
@@Hudspethtb Thank you for your response, I also remember an episode where Geordi was kidnapped by Romulians, they had conditioned him to kill a Klingon ambassador and his vizor was also hacked by the Romulians, I think it was in season 4. At the end of the episode Data save the day.
You'd think Starfleet having assembler tech to make almost everything they could produced a set of eyes for Geordi instead of wearing a low tech visor. Sometimes the show contradicts it's own tech lol
I've said this before why do you need a doctor in Star Trek? You do replicate them through the transporter and put their current brain patterns into their twenty-five-year-old bodies and nobody gets old. All you need is f****** Chief O'Brien.
So.....a blind guy that can see......and a toy that's more humane than human.......go into a bar with an human with real organs? And all hear an invisible person voice at same time and talk back as a conversation
It's really just character introspection, a scene to get to know a person more and on some level it is character development for those learning about Geordi's sight, especially for those on the Bridge.
Geordi's visor as an additional all purpose sensor was a short lived concept. The first two seasons of TNG are just silly in comparison to the rest of the show.
"An undefined form, standing in a visual frenzy!" This has to be the most accurate description of Riker, anyone has ever made.
I love how Picard is just so fascinated by seeing through Geordi's eyes and Geordi in turn is happy to explain how he sees to his captain.

"All routes are equally dangerous."
"Well what's the _least_ dangerous route?"

"Yes Geordi, shove your soft, fleshy face right into the part of the bulkhead that's losing integrity and flashing like there's some evil attempting to escape. Closer. Cloooosssseeerrrr. C'mon, Starfleet doesn't pay by the hour... or at all... whatever, anyway, hurry up!"
Yeabut then there's the porn in the flash drive he forgot to delete still running on a lower left window
And we never used this again.
Why no go pro in the 24th century?
Ancestors of the inventor sold the patent to the Romulans.
Data having an aura around him-I think it’s more then just being an android.
Apparently GoPros went extreme
Confirmed GoPro doesn't exist in the future.

"that's Cdr Riker"
"To me it's just an undefined form standing in a visual frenzy"
That's what she said.
Geordi sees in Video Toaster posterization.
It was in season 1 -> Riker had no beard and Geordi had the red uniform, unfortunately I no longer remember which episode this scene is taken from. Can you tell me please ?
Season 1 Episode 20 "Heart of Glory" Backfills some of Worf's lore, and as far as I know it's the only time we see a visual transmission of Geordi's viser until the Klingons do it again in "Generations".
@@Hudspethtb Thank you for your response, I also remember an episode where Geordi was kidnapped by Romulians, they had conditioned him to kill a Klingon ambassador and his vizor was also hacked by the Romulians, I think it was in season 4. At the end of the episode Data save the day.
What episode is this?
Heart of Glory
Luckily they can use this technology in the future to detect androids.
Oh.
I wonder why they only did this for one episode?
I love this is forgot what episode this is
Heart of Glory
@@whiteknightcat Thank you I was looking everywhere for the title of the episode.
You'd think Starfleet having assembler tech to make almost everything they could produced a set of eyes for Geordi instead of wearing a low tech visor. Sometimes the show contradicts it's own tech lol
They eventually did. Though it wasn't until the films...
There was an episode in the series where Geordi was offered such a solution. He declined.
I've said this before why do you need a doctor in Star Trek? You do replicate them through the transporter and put their current brain patterns into their twenty-five-year-old bodies and nobody gets old. All you need is f****** Chief O'Brien.
While you can use an EMH to give you an extra set of hands in sickbay, there's no replacing a biological life form.
@@jdb2002 I think the doctor would disagree with you. Photons be free
Visual Acuity Transmitter ...
... and they never used this again.
3:31 they change positions.
So we're just gonna disregard how non living things have an aura around them and he thinks it's normal
Funny they did not carry a camera
Couldn't they have just strapped on a GoPro and gotten live stream images on all away missions?
Sure, until the damn thing overheats and bricks itself.
When a GoPro 24 wouldn't do...
So.....a blind guy that can see......and a toy that's more humane than human.......go into a bar with an human with real organs? And all hear an invisible person voice at same time and talk back as a conversation
I never got what was the point of this scene. Its done once for a few minutes then... never talked about or referenced again.
It's really just character introspection, a scene to get to know a person more and on some level it is character development for those learning about Geordi's sight, especially for those on the Bridge.
Geordi's visor as an additional all purpose sensor was a short lived concept. The first two seasons of TNG are just silly in comparison to the rest of the show.
jumble ^^
Couldn't they just use Facebook live?
They already used all of their quota - so no internet, only voice
FaceTime by Apple
Stimulator7🤦♀️ Star Trek was meant to be set in the future, that’s the joke.
The pre-beard writing was REALLY bad.
It really was.
Back when star trek was super gay
Like what? Who wants to do this? Hahah
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Padding out the script much?
Early TNG was terrible, good lord. Same with DS9. I can't watch either series until season 3.
