So in the end, Picard was repeatedly forcibly kissed by a male alien.
These aliens probably don't have any concept of gender either.
It's ALIEN and you are worried about GENDER? 😅
The idea though is that they committed sexual assault as a social experiment
Several showers and bottles of mouth wash still can't get rid of that thought out of my head.
Not just any alien, Eric Pierpoint!
Picard, when a gorgeous, lonely woman with a crazed glint in her eyes asks “Do you love me?” five minutes after meeting her, you say “YES, DARLING! NOW AND FOREVER!” 🤣 Seriously though, when Picard figured out the door was locked and Anna was lying to him, I thought this episode was about to turn into the film Misery.
Season 7 of TNG: the gift that keeps on giving for savage reviewers! 😂
It's coming... Soon we will get to the ghost episode....
In the home stretch!
Maybe review generations before ds9.
Good Banter! Gives me a smile.
Liked the "impressive biology" comments.
Yea... this was pretty bad. The actors did the best they could with a sloppy script.
I've never seen this episode. I wonder if they just chose not to put this one into syndication.
i thought they meant they wanted to experience all those things as their new friends would relate to them, not that it was their first time ever. makes a lot more sense that way, like they knew about love ofc but not human love, etc.
I give it two grades. An A for being a laid back episode. A C- for a lack of creativity. I liked it more when it first aired. The episode does not age too well.
Season 7 is when the show started to get bad again, just like the fish returning to where it was hatched to die.
"This one feels more like season 1 or 2" was also my thought when i just watched it recently on TV.
I got so sick of Anna whining "Looooove meeeeee!!!!" over and over again.
The only good interaction in this whole episode is the antagonist ambassador with Worf. Make a whole episode of that!
Its probably easier to count the number of episodes without shapeshifting aliens
Either that knive was dull af of that roast beast was in the shoe sole stage of culinary outrage
Picard was pinned on his back by the drag queen for longer then I cared to watch.
The Picard jacket uniform was something they made for Patrick Stewart because he had shoulder surgery or something and the regular uniform was uncomfortable for him.
Pero me pareció very neat, good looking jacket indeed, I always wanted one of those
DS9 must do DS9
The dress uniforms are ridiculous. They just look like an untucked shirt.
Agree. Given the mega-budgets they had by the last season, and knowing that most military dress uniforms are of seriously good grade material (they are Dinner Jacket/Tux/Morning Suit/Ceremonial equivalents) that was bad by the costume dept. Looked like they were bought off Amazon at Halloween.
Every day we grow closer to my favorite Dr.Beverly episode. Best episode in the entire series.
Enjoy it like a 99 cent gas station wine.
Yes, I think I know the one. It's a blast, that's for sure, but Masks is a very strong second !
That episode may just break a ratings record. No other episode can hold a… candle to it.
😁

The Worf and Data bit is awesome. Some other amusing moments. But yeah this episode isn’t too great overall.
There's something about these new alien interaction episodes that I typically don't mind, but agree with all your points. The episode was not great. It felt exactly like a Season 1 episode.
I always forget this episode exists
Riker would be hitting that in five seconds.
Groan this episode was horrible
I thought it was dreadful.
I don't think it's any coincidence that they put their weaker scripts after the two-part season opener/closer. This time, I'm in unison with Robert and Nick. This episode, while not the worst on the season, was completely forgettable, uninspired crap. I don't even know how I would fix it, it's just such an awful premise, exploring emotions you don't have, it's like asking 'why don't you describe what the colour infrared looks like?' If you are incapable of the emotion, being put in the same situation won't cause it.
These antagonist/aliens are kind of like the aliens from The Royale; reading a book about a seedy casino and deciding that is what human life was about. The stuff with Worf, I think, was supposed to be comedic but it doesn't work, Troi's story is light too, but then you have Picard in danger from an alien inspired by the psycho in Misery by Stephen King. It was a riff on Misery that falls flat due to, as they described in the video, the tonal shifts of the episode. Just such auto-pilot writing, which becomes a mainstay of S7.
Grade: D-
Even the shuttlecraft crash was an obvious plot contrivance. The Enterprise could have traveled to the Iyaraan homeworld much faster than a shuttlecraft; I knew the writers were going to stage a crash to advance the terrible subplot.
This episodes appears to be drawing on two TOS stories. 'By Any Other Name' and 'All Our Yesterdays'. The first involves the Enterprise being taken over by aliens, with Kirk & crew deliberately exposing them to human emotions like anger, love, jealousy and indulgence in food/drink. The second involves a woman stranded in the past who lies to Spock and Bones about their not being able to return to the present. Season 7 is when the writers ran out of ideas.
It's not so much running out of ideas as being forced to not have certain ideas because they were stupidly saving them for movies.
Picard's first homosexual experience
Worf would have disemboweled him
There are very few TNG episodes so forgettable that I literally forget them ... This is one of them, and I look forward to forgetting it after I write the end of this sentence.
I would much rather be discussing the Cardassians and Sisko's war crimes.
Why was the mother of the child in the hall way not wearing any rank insignia even though she was in a star fleet uniform? ...
I bet she'll turn out to be a Romulan spy...

probably that

from the episode
FUTURE IMPERFECT
Idk why but I really enjoy these videos. You guys are pretty entertaining.
Not one "stupid". Well done, boys! Love your work.
I'm pretty sure I've never seen this one aside from when it first aired. I didn't even remember the crazy lady wasnt human.
Still a good let-it-run-in-the-background-and-smirk-when-Worf-gets-angry episode.
I think there are some points relating to this episode which many of us were left contemplating; As she locks him in the freighter, why didn't he consider smashing the back door in? Later, when she ran away, he broke her necklace. Would it not be the gentlemanly thing to give her a pearl necklace in exchange? And, if he did, would the ambasidoor have revealed himself or just carried-on with the ruse?
I don't remember this episode, I thought you were going to give it at least a B based on the video but I guess your editing was just a lot better than theirs.
the jokes you two tell are what make this worth watching :D
I remember watching this the first time and wondering when the hell Picard was going to bring up the necklace. It was such a gaudy prop that invited attention, not subtle at all, and the cinematography shoved it in your face. The reveal was worse than my imagination. I thought she might have been a black widow type character who collected mementos from her temporary lovers. Maybe the reveal would be a pit of skeletons of other unfortunate space travelers who "didn't really love her". The shapeshifting thing was boring as hell.
You must construct additional pylons!
I found the episode forgettable, so I'm not surprised to see a couple of D's.
Rip off of the TOS episode "A Rose By Any Name".
This makes little sense. Maybe they spend their lives in those pots
The plot does feel like very basic original series episode
So he kissed a guy an liked it.
HYPE
Seeing murder in Worf's eyes is always a good time, but I agree the rest of the episode was bleh.
Dam right that was the best transformers movie 😂😂 8years older then me and its better then anything Micheal Bay dropped
"Ahh shit what are we gonna do now" My 12 year old brain was like 🤔🫡 yeah thats a legit response, for a messed up situation
Good job none of the aliens found any murder Mystery books
Just unlocked the dark aeon. I had to dodge 100 lightning in a row for that in ffx
Man I _really_ shouldn’t have left that comment a while back about how OP setting 16 is 😂
OP???
@@timmiller1954 overpowered
Alien dude turns into a crossdresser to make out with Picard. Should have fired the ambassador out of the torpedoe tube.
I hate this concept they do where there's an alien race that has no concept that kidnapping someone for experiments is a form of aggression. Even an animal understands what aggression is. They also did it in the episode where Picard gets replaced by a double, except it's even worse in this one because these people were supposed to be opening up formal diplomatic relations. And the Federation just laughs it off like it's no big deal. Isn't kidnapping a starfleet captain an act of war that requires some kind of response? How do you know they won't just kidnap your people anytime they want to run another experiment? I hate this show. The writers are utter morons.
