I like how the computer considers it a design flaw for the ship to be bigger than the universe.
To be fair, designing a ship that's bigger than the universe you're going to use it to travel in would be a pretty serious flaw. It's just not one that comes up very often.
As the bubble reality changes, the computer’s memory changes too, causing it to believe that things have always been the way they are now. It refers to the hull breach as a “design flaw,” because as far as the computer is concerned, the Enterprise has always existed as a ship with the front chopped off, which would indeed be a “design flaw”. That’s what makes this scene hilarious to me.
@@NoogahOogah it is indeed a classic example of computer logic and why it is useful but only to a degree.
@@NoogahOogah I dunno. She mentioned the previous image or scan results, asking the computer to superimpose it.
The computer complied. So, it “remembered” something that perhaps it should not have.
@@westmcgee9320 it was asked to super impose the image of the universe on the current status of the ship as that was the previous image she had asked for. The updating of that image showed the collapse erasing the ship.
Having a ship bigger than the universe it was supposed to travel in is a very Douglas Adams kind of "design flaw".
I had to restrain myself from upvoting your comment. 😁
@@Dowlphin me too, once I saw your comment
42.
that wasn't the design flaw...are people really that unintelligent? the design flaw was explosive decompression brought on by missing pieces....wow people are dumb
This episode is all Gates McFadden and she's wonderful in it.
One of the very few episodes centered on her. She was one of the better actors on the cast and was criminally underused in the series and especially in the movies!
I somehow missed this ep
@@Josh_Fredman Why producers hated her? Maybe she complained about something?
It's a shame this episode relies so much on Wesley the Wonderboy.
@@miguelaprendizaje.2918 While I'm not sure what took them so long to use her skills. Right after this episode she got pregnant and she was back to not being used much to hide the pregnancy. edit: missed the "not"
Computer: "That information is not available"
Beverley: "I wasn't talking to you"
Half my conversations with Siri and Alexa.
Guess 'Majel' doesn't malfunction as much as both of them, huh 😊
Same here xd
"Well, there's nobody else in this universe to talk to!"
"Can they get me out of it again?"
"That information is not available."
"I'm not talking to you."
Always loved this exchange.
I loved it when they let her get snarky.
"I wasn't talking to you!"
I've had moments like that with google assistant.
That’s me and Siri. 🤣🤣🤣
"That information is not available, but here are some search results that are similar to--"
"No, Computer stop!"
Phew, thank god Beverly thought to ask the question of what the universe looked like, and the computer knew how to render it, and she knew Wesley's experiment, otherwise she would have been lost. I wish Q acknowledged Beverly's solution to the problem as she proved humanity could think outside of the box, something that Picard still had trouble with in the final episode of the show.
Excellent Point
Bring on the mariachi band! 😅
@@Sithvulcan76AU CONTRAIRE MON CAPITAN! SHEEEEEE'S BACK!
Solving this kind of problem would've gotten a smug golfclap from Q if Picard had done it, yet Beverly just gets a "wow, that sounds like it sucked."
Damn... I hadn't realized that until now.
Solving this kind of problem *did* get a smug golfclap from Q when Picard did it. Bev doesn't even get acknowledged by Q for doing this.
Conclusion: Q is racist against redheads. Or maybe people with a full head of hair. Or maybe sexist (based on Voyager, probably this one). Its hard to tell.
@@ComradePhoenix Maybe he's still metaphysically sore from her working the kink out of his back. >.>
@@ErickC Yeah, at the end of TNG he even makes a big deal of it. "That is the exploration that awaits you. Charting the unknown possibilities of *existence*."
@@ComradePhoenix I was unaware that redhead is a race.
As the bubble reality changes, the computer’s memory changes too, causing it to believe that things have always been the way they are now. It says a “design flaw” is responsible for the escaping air rather than “the universe is shrinking” because, as far as the computer is concerned, the Enterprise has always existed as a ship with the front chopped off, which would indeed be a “design flaw”.
True.
What doesn't make sense is that it holds an image of what the ship is supposed to look like - ie with an intact saucer section - despite the need for that design to exist outside of the limits of the universe.
I always liked that little detail.
@@bobagorof that’s a good point. However, since the outline isn’t captioned, maybe the computer is just guessing at what should be there. Or you can just dismiss it as being a fluke of Dr. Crusher’s mental universe.
The design flaw is the ship having been designed to be larger than the universe.
@@tylisirn the design flaw is: “no ship structures exist ahead of bulkhead 342”. We know that’s because the Enterprise is bigger than the universe, but the ship’s computer doesn’t necessarily make that connection. If bulkhead 342 was sealed off, it wouldn’t be a design flaw.
This is one of my favourite episodes, it shows and proves just how great an actress Gates McFadden really is.
Check "Gates" McFadden's wikipedia page. Did you know that Gates is her middle name? I didn't find this out til a few days ago! She was actually a really well-respected choreographer before she took the job acting on STTNG! She goes by her first name, Cheryl, when she is credited for choreography, and by her middle name, Gates, when she is credited for acting!
Yeah, SAG rules are pretty dumb. No SAG actor can use the same name as another SAG actor. It's the reason you have a Michael Jordan and a Michael B. Jordan on their rosters.
Mean while the "universe" shrink consumed the bridge being that it was at the top of the ship while Crusher monologued
I wish the writers had the good sense to script her going into a turbolift to go somewhere -- anywhere -- away from the outer edges of the ship while she monologued and figured out her problem. Then, when she realizes she's needs to get to Engineering, she could have redirected the turbolift to take her to Engineering, and the episode woukd have continued as normal.
3:12 Beverly: "My thoughts created this universe. Can they get me out of it again?"
Computer: "That information is not available"
Beverly: "I'm not talking to you!"
TNG predicted dealing with Alexa 25 years early 🤣
If only the Computer was programmed to say “sorry” just for a show off. 🤣🤣🤣
Gates McFadden was loved by all and is STILL an underrated actress. Love ya, Bev.
“A flaw in the ship’s design.”
Yeah, nothing at all strange that we just left some sections open to vacuum.
I love how the computer just keeps rolling with the rapidly changing nature of reality without missing a beat.
It is also a good example of the gymnastics of a small mind in denial. Anything can be made to fit the small universe coherently.
That’s Majel Barrett for you! She was the wife of the creator of this show and the voice of the Enterprise computer.
Hi, from your future. We have some developed conversational AI since you left this comment, and I can assure you, the scriptwriters got this 100% correct. In fact, we’ve discovered that artificial intelligence is every bit as dumb as the real kind.
I've always loved how this episode shows beverly's brilliance.
Talk about keeping your head while under extreme pressure. That's true "steely eyed missile man" stuff. No wonder she got her own command!
I'm so glad that Gates got an episode to truly shine in. And she did!
I enjoyed the irish lantern episode.
@@Aeroldoth3Scottish, actually.
In the span of 13 seconds, the 'universe' has shrunk enough to destroy a quarter of the saucer section. 30 seconds later (4;17 seconds of life support left), it's virtually at at the bridge. Yet 47 seconds after that (3:30 of life support left), the bridge is still there. Gotta love that plot armour :D
It is unfortunate but it has to move faster in pictures so we can see the changes
Note that when the turbolist disappeared that the disappearkng followed her AROUND a corner rather than keep .moving normally.
I cannae do it Cap'n, I gotta have 4 minutes!
The computer doesn't know the universe is getting smaller, so 4 minutes at the current state of the universe/ship
More like, the graphics team were a bit too eager to eat up part of the ship. The computer mentions the time remaining.
3:16 just casually pre-empting siri a couple of decades in advance.
0:45 I love that the computer says "a flaw in the ship's design" rather than blaming damage, because as far as the computer is concerned, the bow of the ship never existed in the first place. But then the art department drops the ball, and shows an outline of the missing sections.
The flaw is that the ship was designed to be larger than the universe.
No, the design is correct. I was designed to be the whole ship, hence the outline. That's the flaw. The flaw is that design is bigger than the universe.
I really like how the Traveler is lit, and it seems it's not really brought up.
He's constantly lit in an 'ethereal' short of glow. The cool, direct lighting, overlaid over his soft-blue outfit, and pale-blushed face.
Picard: "I'll be in engineering, gotta find my steady side peice"
In this episode Wesley discovers that he's a transdimensional being capable of splitting off and merging whole universes with his eyes closed.
And in all the rest of the episodes, the rest of the crew is like: Shut up, Wesley! Shut up, kid!!
Use the force, Wesley.
Oops. Wrong franchise.
Wesley really did have a chosen one sort of thing to his character, didn't he? Can't imagine why some Trek fans would have a problem with that.
Surprises me that Will Wheaton didn't do a voice role in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
I have netflix which has the series and I really never had any interest in watching the tv show again(saw reruns as kid loved the movies) Thanks to you I've been watchin episodes again but now I actually understand them. Thanks for posting all of these
"Let go of the anticipation, the expectations, the demands upon yourself, and don't think about pink hippopotamuses."
Wesley:"What about pink elephants,?"
Traveler "Shut up Wesley."
Wow, The Wizard of Oz was pretty enduring.
If a thing leaves the warp field (which starts out the size of the universe and exponentially shrinks), it gets erased from history. At first, the homeworlds of the crew get erased causing them to vanish. Eventually this happens to the ship itself once the warp field is small enough - those sections "ahead of bulkhead 342" just never existed in the first place, which is why the computer calls it a design flaw instead of damage or something.
Though it makes you wonder then, why the Enterprise itself didn't just vanish when Earth and Mars left the warp field.
Instead of Picard just vanishing, the whole ship vanishes along side him, resulting in Crusher getting spaced.
So I don't think this is exactly the case.
In the graphical representation, the bridge gets erased while she is standing there...in the bridge...
"Computer, what's happening!?"
"Well, I wasn't going to say anything because you seemed busy but it appears the entire ship is being destroyed by the collapse of the Universe."
I loved the motivational speech The Traveler gave Wesley about letting go and allowing the power within to come forward.
😂
That would mean I'm the one trapped in a bean!
"That information is not available."
"Shut up Wes... I mean computer!"
Beverly having a psychotic break interrupted by a love for beans.
This is what happens when too many people call out from work at once
I remember seeing this episode when I was a child and being creeped out about how the universe was slowly coming closer and erasing all together. The doctor finding no end of flaws and everyone else's indifference to the impending doom coming closer and closer until you no longer exist. Not even memory.
Now as an adult the same scenario terrifies me even more. If I were in such a situation to the point of no return and none existence slowly coming closer to doom me, I would go and find a phaser, a replicator ask it for a strong alcoholic drink (or what ever it can give me since nothing else exists) drink it, set the phaser to its deadliest setting place it upwards inside my mouth and hope it's burn does not last long enough to register as pain.
You are in such a scenario. You are melting. You are dissolving. Non-existence is slowly coming closer to doom you. Entropy gnaws inexorably.
Why bother? Once the non existence hits you, you will never have killed yourself. It goes backward through time. You seek to end suffering but that suffering will soon never have been.
(I'm fucking with you :P)
@@disabledchatzen5276 no. Death is an entirely different thing from non existence. When one considers how all is interwoven and that time probably isn't as we perceive it and maybe not even linear, it seems likely that we don't die but merely move our awareness to a point on the timeline where we are not living, yet in the past we are still living.
And, well, I can't prove this one too you but it is very likely there is some form of afterlife
Yes, being abandoned by everyone else and having something you don't understand killing you is pretty nightmarish, especially for a child.
This doesn't make any sense. The computer couldn't update the structure or update the collapsing warp bubble diagram. As soon as the bubble collapses an inch, all of the bubble reality would have updated including the computer memory of the universe and the ship design.
Only Beverly would have known the bulkheads were closed because of warp reality collapse. The computer would have a memory of those bulkheads having always been closed with the edge of the universe right behind it.
There would have been no way for the ship to update Beverly with any countdown. But they had to make Beverly look smart and give the audience a sense of urgency.
In my thoughts I have a husband, friends, a useful purpose and am surrounded by love. I have clicked my heels millions of times. Why has my universe never apoeared? Prayers.
This was a great episode!
If the bubble was collapsing at 15 m/second it would be lost in around 48 seconds owing to it being around 700 meters and change.
For is to collapse in 4 minutes at a rate if 15 meters/second the bubble would have to be around 3600 meters.
I liked that the traveler was free balling in this episode.
I love how even in a surreal universe that consists of nothing, exists outside of spacetime, and was created by a single person's errant thoughts, the ship's computer and all systems on the Enterprise function as normal.
*Everybody* ‘This world is an illusion’.
*Me* ‘Perfect. Then you will not have any objections to me destroying it’.
This episode worked on so many levels. Quantum & above.
Use the force young padawan.
"My thoughts created this universe! Can they get me out of it again?"
"That information is not available."
"I'm not talking to you!"
I think you hould change the into to
"And you may subscribe at your own convenience" lol
"Captain we can fix the problems with the UA-cam algorithms. It'll take 15 years and a reaearch team of 100..."
Use the force, Wesley
creepy star trek episodes were always the best but I dont like to be freaked out
But I always hated Deus-Ex-Wesley...
"My thoughts created this universe!"
Tiny universe... obviously...
I've always wondered, would the Guinan in Beverly's bubble-universe (before she disappeared) know what was going on?
Never can help but notice the bubble on the screen eats the bridge while she is still on it.
Wes! Use the force!
The crazy thing is that according to current quantum theory, the actual shape of our universe most likely IS doughnut shaped. A much bigger version of the universe Crusher sees here.
Wait a second...during the "flaw in the ships design" segment, there's still an outline of the whole ship structure where it was disappearing. Why would the computer still render those parts of the ship if they were disappearing? Guess that part of the plot disappeared with the parts of the ship. *shrug
Dr. Crusher asked the computer to superimpose the ship's design on the flaw.
@@allenbooth5193 i know, what im saying is that if the whole universe (and everything in it) was disappearing, the outline of the ship would start disappearing along with everything else as the bubble collapsed
@@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming Allen literally explained it to you and it just flew right over your head.
Ah, what the heck, I'll just come out and say it:
NUMBER ONE! W00T!!!
Wesley pushing buttons with his eyes closed. I always thought he would start a warp core overload doing that, or cut all life support or change the bridge viewer screen saver 😁
This made me think of the last question by Asimov. Their universe was also disappearing in a way, and it was similarly reversed by supernatural magic.
Use the force, Wesley. :D
"Click my heels three times and I'm back in Kansas"
That was a screw-up for her character to know some obscure line from a movie that predates her by hundreds of years. It will make sense to viewers who have seen "The Wizard of Oz", but not to anyone who has not seen it.
Disagree. It's like quoting an obscure line from Shakespeare. Maybe Wizard of Oz is classic literature that children are forced to study at the academy.
3:20 _"Click my heels together three times and I'm back in Kansas. Can it be that simple?"_ - If you gotta ask, probably not. And somehow I got a feeling you won't be clicking those heels.
Man, what a great episode
"Click my heels together three times..." "You are referencing a movie from almost 4000 years ago"
"I'm not talking to you!"
Guess all this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.
One zero too many.
i like the intro so i subscribed
"I'm not talking to you!" Sounds like me when Google Assistant or Alexa pops off and I didn't say the activation phrase. Okay, I usually say something like, "SHUT THE HELL UP!" Kinda same, same.
1:25 15 meters per second collapse? I don't think so. That would eat up the Enterprise in a couple seconds, not four minutes. Roughly 576 meters in length, 7.5 meters per second on each end, it would eat away the ship in 77 seconds if it only occured from one end, but since it is centered on the engineering deck, it would swallow the ship in roughly half a minute as soon as it started touching it.
This is one of only 3 episodes where beverly works as a character. the rest of the series she's just a talking head saddly.
She was the main focus on 'Sub Rosa', 'Remember Me' and 'Suspicions' but shared half screen time in 'Attached' and had some good parts in 'Descent Pt 2', 'Ethics' and 'The High Ground', certainly more than a talking head anyway lol.
Somehow I doubt she could sing
"Burning Down The House", "Life During Wartime", or "Psycho Killer".
_«I'm not talking to you!»_
this episode gave me nightmares
Doesn't Beverly seem like she's
Sheltered In Place?
An entire episode comprised of gaslighting a redhead.
I love it.
We create our own reality
1:33 Wesley goes Ultra Instinct
Where do I find the end of this episode? Anyone have a link? I want to see how it turns out.
*Use the Force, Wesley!*
*beep* "That information is not available".
"I'm not talking to you!"
*beep* "Okay, rude"
not a huge trekkie, but isn't the bridge, where Dr. Crusher currently is, at the front of the saucer section which no longer exists?
This episode reminds me of a false hydra. It erases your existence when it eats you.
So we know her thoughts duplicated the universe for a brief time. Like in the initial state, everything was duplicated before it started collapsing. It just begs the question, what if she took a duplicated person out of the bubble with her? Could the bubble be used to copy anything this way and bring it back to the real world?
Detective Crusher at it again.
Finally, some answers!
Use the Force Wesley
Ive just suscribed jean Luc.
That's bull___t math. If the warp bubble is contracting at 15 meters per second and the consensus is the Enterprise is 643 meters in length, then they would have about 45 seconds until destruction. Where did Geordi come up with 4 minutes? 😮
It's always bothered me when she asked for a representation of the change overlaid with the ship schematic, you can see it reducing on the screen and just before the edge of the universe reaches the bridge in the image it cuts away and somehow she gets another full minutes of the universe not contracting through her position.
So Wesley is what 30-40 years senior to Jack?
Use the force erm i mean the warp erm subspace? aaaah fuck it
Another Super Wesley episode.
I don't see anything wrong with a ship the size of the universe. Much safer travels.
So Wesley is using the force
Who is mysterious bean man?
Hey 😊👋🚶♂️
At a rate of 15 metera per secind a 705 meter bubble would be lost in 47 seconds not 4 minutes..
USE THE FORCE WES!!!!!!!!!
It's episodes like this that I can't help but laugh at the Trekkie memes about how Star Trek is all hard science and every other science fiction franchise is "just" fantasy. Star Trek was always science fantasy, guys, and the sooner you accept it, the sooner you will truly enjoy it for what it really is.
words are all wrong. what fanboys mean is "space opera" when they say "fantasy". and "fiction" is always "fantasy" to a degree.
It's not science fantasy. It's still science fiction, just not hard sci-fi like some trekkies pretend
Not hard at all
I agree. However compare this to NuTrek. And this episode looks like hard science when compared. I use to pick on Trekies.
Now Star War nerds and Trekies have all been equally screwed over.
The time has come when we put our differences aside and realize what is going on now with these IP. They no longer represent nerd/geek culture.
But identity politics. And pushing agendas.
Star Trek was always very progressive. Yet they didn't think it was progressive enough.
Coming from a show that had the \/\/oman claiming something must be wrong with the universe, instead of it just being her.
Typical. Ha ha ha ha ha.. Such non sense fantasy land.
Good ole escapism. But that is dead now Jim.
TOS was more science as many devices came to exist. The future Star Trek shows were fantasy.
This woman is so dam beautiful.
How many times have I said "I'm not talking to you." to Siri? 😅
She talks out loud to herself to solve problems… just like me😂
