Can't wait for "Nightcrawler - part 1"
"Lt. Bobby, as acting captain you should've stayed on the ship. Our 47 most senior officers have already been kidnapped!"
"Not this ti-AAAGH"
Nah data would just keep sending first officers so HE could stay in the chair
The X-Men BGM is a nice touch 😂
Picard is the father that Riker never had: sober, caring and talented. That is why he didn't want to become a captain. He didn't wanna leave "daddy" behind again.
Im gonna call. All these poker puns really makes me want to fold on this episode

Riker actually still retains his Q powers, but does not know about it. That's how he gets away with things. Everyone is scared he'll erase them from history or worse, if they don't cater to his every whim. Q po Psycho Riko.
so that's why every woman wants him
So Haruhi Suzumiya?
I remember liking this episode when it aired. It certainly has it faults but I liked some of the elements of this episode; phaser blasts that werent super slow motion, a ship with stealth characteristics, seedy people at a bar and so forth. I did not recognize the actress from Star Trek III, good call.
Just once, when somebody goes to their superiors "I have to do this - it's PERSONAL!" for the superior to reply, "I know it's personal, that's why I'm putting somebody else on it!"
I've seen all the episodes. Seeing this one covered got me to think, "Oh, yeah, that happened." I'm looking forward to seeing part II covered, since I don't remember much about it (not a good sign).
That leader Richard lynch guy looks like a more beat up John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne
RICHARD LYNCH
.R.I.P.

suffered massive burns
that scarred him
Congratulations, no one ever has referred to Ozzy Osbourne by his full, given name, you are the first.
Good review. Agree that this plot was a bit obsurb like others. C grades seem appropriate.
There are many reasons not to like these two episodes. The premise is absurd. Everyone acts out of character, even in ways that should be detectable in-universe. The mystery and tension are contrived. The entire thing depends on no one in the universe recognizing the most famous Starfleet crew. Even with all this, I still like these episodes. Maybe because it's finally something fun after the long slog so far through Season 7, which actually started at the end of S6 with a two-parter worse than this. I agree with a C+-ish rating, but it feels better than that for no good reason. Richard Lynch was a good casting choice; his scenes are fun.
Do you recognize some of the most famous Naval admirals and their bridge staff? How about very prominent airline captains? Because, if you don't....
@@sportosp-0158 If I were in organized crime, I'd probably recognize the head of the FBI. And if I personally didn't, one of my fellow criminals would.
@@dycedargselderbrother5353 Not the same comparison. Also, there are how many Starfleet officers that have never met the crew of the enterprise? The only reason they would know what they look like is because of personnel files, which those outside of Starfleet don't have access to. There are how many Starfleet personnel also? would you really presume to recognize each and every one of them? No. Also, because the Enterprise crew isn't really the "head" of Starfleet.
Consider also: How many times have you gone out and saw someone who looked like someone else? C'mon man
@@sportosp-0158 They don't have the news in the 24th century? All information is classified? C'mon man. Picard was also Locutus of Borg. I'm pretty sure he'd stick out like a sore thumb, if not by appearance then by his booming Shakespearean voice and thespian mannerisms.
@@dycedargselderbrother5353 Picard should have at least worn an eyepatch and used a french accent as a disguise
I always thought it was odd that no one in the bar could tell what a transporter beam looks like - given the special effects we’ve seen, someone being vaporized and someone being transported usually looks very different (vaporized people tend to dissolve from the point where they were hit and disappear completely, whereas transported people tend to break into particles)
maybe their transporter weapon was deliberately designed to make it look like it vaporizes the target . sort of how Sloan faked his death when he was "vaporized" and was actually transported

What bothers me at the beginning is them using all kinds of OBVIOUS starfleet gear. You'd think if they were trying to pass themselves off as NOT starfleet, they would be using a variety of gear. A dated starfleet phaser, a klingon disruptor, a romulan tricorder, a nausicaan dagger, a ferengi communicator. A whole variety of gear to make it anything BUT obvious what organization they're from. You wanna look like a ragtag band of mercs or something, you gotta play it up. You think a Russian trying to do some kinda false flag op is gonna go in with an AK and an MP-443 wearing a ushanka hat after having some vodka and borscht?
Why are closed caption subtitles disabled for this video? You usually have them enabled.
Guys, Watch Babylon 5.
A funny mistake is rat boy says Picard is about 2 meters tall. 2 meters is about 6'7". The American writers probably didn't understand the metric system and assumed eh a meter is about the same as a yard so mistakingly thought 2 meters is close enough to 6 feet.
So they would say he is about 180 CM?
That seems like referring to someone as being "about 70 inches" tall instead of saying 5'10".
Oth, I get 2m is to imprecise and granular to be useful. Every one except children and little people are "about 2 meters" in height .
PICARD: So I'm not as tall as you expected? SHINZON: I had always hoped I would be two meters
@@macmcleod1188 Well the metric system may be ok for scientific stuff, for practical people things it blows. So yeah users of the metric system would have to say he's about 180cm, though I guess they could say he's "17 Decimeters, 8 Centimeters" but that just doesn't flow off the tongue like saying he's "5 foot 10"
Maybe they are using Federation Meters and 2 of those meters are approximately the height of Picard.
@@qam2024 As a metric system user, I'd say "1 meter 80".

the ORVILLE episode 1
beamed a tree to a
KRILL ship
This is one of the better eps of S7 IIRC. I kind of liked seeing Picard out of character altho the villains were pretty stupid😆. I also enjoyed the brief cameo of “Sandra Huxtable” from The Cosby Show.
I think the spelling was 'Sondra'.
@@jcjc4164 You’re right, thx!
Wait... if Picard, Riker, LaForge, Data, Worf are not on the ship, who has the bridge?
Troi.
plot hole
the USS ENTERPRISE D
can scan warp signatures
from a distance
the only thing that blocks
a ship's sensors is a
cloaking device
Criminals/mercs are going to have to trust other people they dont know, they have no choice, hence why so many careers fail or are short.
Star Trek: The Next Leg Up
I get why Nick doesn't like this. For me, it was such a forgettable episode that I have to struggle to remember the plot points when deciding whether it's good or bad. Just dull and forgettable with a fake death that fools no one and builds little suspense. The second part isn't any better from what I remember and has the lamest reveal regarding the superweapon, which completely kills any tension built up by this 2-parter. If you are going to do a 2 part episode, either tell an interesting story, or use it as an opportunity to make long term changes to the characters or the overall plot of the franchise. Neither happens here, just a ho-hum story stretched into two episodes because 'reasons'.

Sorry, I laugh every time you pronounce ‘duty’ as ‘doodee’ 😂
I don’t understand the purpose of this video. By now almost everyone has seen these videos. What’s the point of reviews? I would have rather to watch the actual shows. To your point, it took me a while to enjoy the next generation, but then I liked it more than first Star Trek.
They managed to get one of the worst actors of all time to play the bad guy in this one Klaus Kinski. Yeesh. Saw this guy in a lot of B movies. None of them any good.
You didn’t tell us who ‘Wrinkles’ was. I thought he looked like a reincarnation of Phil Spector, who I recognize from the Wall of Sound and the narcissistic murder of his ex-girlfriend…
