@@Eternal_Tech They're literally asking for money for their Paypal; "Buy me some beans". Seems like profiting from anothers work to me. I love watching content like this, but it should really be taken down.
And his recommendations are always shot down
What the fuck's up with the shitty frame rate.
Worf gets no respect.
That said grabbing a gun then moving into punching range is a dumb move even for a Klingon.
To be fair, she was right next to the Captain and there was no reason to suspect the possession would make her stronger than normal
So why when I play apex legends everyone closes to melee range to shoot their gun.
He doesn't know if shooting her would hurt Tori. A stun might not do anything and more might kill her
First rule of combat, consider not only your target but also what is beyond it.
If you miss, what might you hit? In this case the answer is the Captain.
The way to protect anyone from your line of fire is to put them behind you, not behind the target.
I would also note though it is a testament to his awareness of surroundings; there was a flash of green light but no one else seemed to react to it, and it seemed pretty clear he recognized her as a threat immediately. And mere seconds from having been, essentially, drugged into unconsciousness. And as many people elsewise have pointed out, it's not like there's a reason for him to think that she suddenly would be able to break the laws of physics with the amount of force she can exert. But I do think its fair to criticize internal security processes; any fleet would bury its admirals in shame if their vessels were taken over by enemies, whom don't even know the language of those running the ship and the tech they use to do so, as regularly as Starfleet. Hell I think Carnival cruise would hang their head in shame if they had a security record to match Starfleet.
>Conceal this information as long as you exist
>tells the senior officers the whole story a few hours later
Lol, Yes but that was the whole plot of the story. He was given conflicting orders by the Picard who woke up who didn't know that Picard told him not to tell Picard anything!
What choice did he have but to reveal it? The Paxton had taken over Troi, again, and were again threatening to destroy the Enterprise... Picard successfully negotiated the first time... you've got to hope that he can do it again and help fix what they got wrong the first time... and Data doesn't have the grasp on human nature that Picard does.
Alright so Data should have just been like
"I agree with the lady here, yall fucked up. I didnt tell them anything , i swear"
After the material information had been revealed or unavoidable.
They failed the first time and Data was discovered.
Picard: Satisfactory?
Alien: No. What if he downloads his files into an inferior version of himself and that android ends up in a lab where people can access his memory?
Picard: Do you really think something so ridiculous would happen?
:)
Lol.
Your knowledge of the future is extraordinary.
Data would delete knowledge of the aliens prior to transfer.
Thankfully it was like trying to upload the cloud to a Commodore 64!
That compound certainly works quickly.
Maybe Compound ADTH is vaporized cocaine.
Enterprise compounds are always on fleek.
Basically aerosolized meth and rhino horn.
@@enthusiasticpaunch and a wee bit o tiger blood
@@trumpanzeeslayer4036 for the skin...
That was the most pathetic worf takedown I think there ever was.
True, but props for recognizing an alien threat even in the body of his friend.
Hahha flick of the wrist

Worfs spine has left the chat
@@diamondrel5190 oh fuck 🤣🤣🤣
4:10 "Here we are... again." Always makes me chuckle. Picard's realization at his own tenacity to solve a mystery.
I've gotta admit he's consistent. His favorite holo-character is detective Dixon Hill. He's an obsessive amateur archaeologist. And in "Lonely Among Us," the entity targets him specifically because of his insatiable need to explore.
@@PrestigeLearningPicard's meddling almost caused the destructiom of the Enterpise & crew. He should have listened to Data.
I've watched this episode a few times, and I realized that the crewmen behind Worf's station are just diligently continuing their science work like nothing is happening... The one guy in the background turns around, is like "eh, just another day" and goes back to work. 😂
I love how Worf has literally never successfully defended the bridge. Always been throw about the room or told to stand down.
Star Trek TNG is in fact, a list of missions where Worf has failed to do his job properly.
Well somebody who can make it onto the bridge is usually pretty powerful
They keep using Worf to show how powerful something is. "If it can beat Warf it must be powerful." However, after so many times of showing Warf get beat, it starts feeling like Worf isn't that powerful. The scenes of him destroying people other than Klingons are too few and far between.
Worf always lost fights on TNG because he was constantly rushing up against beings far more powerful than he was, which they were encountering due to traipsing around the galaxy. DS9 was much better for him, as he was mostly encountering regular beings and not some energy being-possessed type.
@@CellGames2006 DS9 actually has an episode where Odo whips out a data pad with a list of incidents on the Enterprise where Worf failed to do his job
1:34 And now you know how Troi became such a turn-on to Worf.
Also worked on me!
How did Worf become a "turn-on" for Troi ? After all, Worf was worried he would injury human (or half) females and Troi was on the smaller size.
@@menacelurkingyet8345 I was subtly referring to their romance that was kindled in the last couple seasons of TNG. Personally, I thought the 'ship was a bit ill-conceived, and the writers never really developed it into anything particularly meaningful or interesting. You win some, you lose some...
@@zagnorch1336 It would seem the writers agreed with you, because Worf ended up with Jadzia-Dax on Deep Space Nine and Troi ended up marrying Riker in Nemesis.
To be fair, it was the only real character development on the show, even if it came out of nowhere!
You know it's serious when Worf doesn't recommend weapons.
He might have missed and blown up the planet XD
Data to Worf: You'll only harm Counselor Troi's body.
Troi's body: I'm going to snap Worf's wrist like paper.
What I never understood is the part about making it seem that only 30 seconds have passed when in fact it was days. Wouldn't that fall apart pretty quickly as soon as they spoke to anyone outside of the Enterprise?:
"Hey Jean Luc, it's me Robert Picard, your brother, why didn't you call me yesterday like we arranged?"
"Robert you silly goose it's only Monday!"
"Jean Luc, it's Wednesday!"
*Checks with Starfleet HQ*
"Good lord!"
They were to have passed through a wormhole. They can play havoc with space time and would be an acceptable excuse for time dilation.
They would've known something had happened at SOME point then, yes.
But in this case they realized it one day after they all feel asleep and found plenty of other hints something was wrong - with more temporal distance chances were they'd just say "Eh, must've happened at some point in the last three months, no biggie".
Since they travel at super speeds, relativity comes into play and there's always a difference between the time that passed on earth and the time that passed on the ship. It makes sense they would just trust the computer and not worry about whatever spacetime anomaly made a 1 day difference to the clock in their travels
@@KipdoesStuff Yup, basically a "well, that was a weird, useless AND detrimental spacial phenomena, let us never go there again." Or at least, that's the idea - however they never quite counted on humanity and the effect best described in the ooold "There is a phrase in Vulcan for 'The Particular Moment You Understand What the Word "F---" Is For'" meme.
@@HolbrookStarkthe only time they travel at relativistic speeds in our universe is while they're under inpulse power. Warp has them shift into subspace to travel, and I dont believe they've ever indicated that time dilation is a feature of traveling in subspace.
I was having trouble with my heart and was on (what I presumed) was my final bed, for about a month. As I was dealing with all of that I caught your videos, I was never into star trek growing up, but for some reason your clips were edited perfectly to keep my attention, these videos brought me A LOT of comfort when I was going through a terror every single day. I now love TNG.
its been about a year and I just heard "did anyone here subscribe" and it just made me feel at ease. that and the "I love beans" intros are just heart-warming to hear for me now
It's a small story, but I just wanted to say thanks.
Very uplifting ! A small stone may only make a ripple in the water, at first, but one day that ripple could form part of a mighty wave. In this sense, our actions - like a simple upload of TNG, could yield peace and calm to someone far across the planet, years later. This is a powerful reminder to all of us to always be mindful of the ripples our own actions can bring about. 😊
Glad you're doing better, thanks for sharing 👍
I'd say @AlexTrev006 and @spk1121 already made the essential comments. But, this is the kind of comment I love and I'm very glad to read that you made it through that month - and are presumably doing quite a bit better!
_I happen to have a bit of sentimentality for the "I love beans" song as well - though not tied to anything so significant. But, still, totally agree there, also (i.e., in addition to nicely edited clips etc.)..._
Goddamn. What an awesome anecdote. Incredible how these clips can help influence our lives and lifestyle right to this day.
This is 6 months after the fact, I know, but thanks for making my day today.
Yes, here we are again with another opportunity to see Worf being thrown around in an implausible manner.
They erased the memory of everyone on the ship. One of those moments where you realize how horrifying life on the Enterprise must've been for all the children onboard.
And the woman!
Just another day of drudgery for the lower decks. How is a memory wipe of yesterday's turbo lift maintenance not a blessing or just déjà vous
@@JosephDoherty-v4iim sat here chucking about an Ensign who never existed having to undo his work from the day before.
The short-term memory. Long term remained.
Better not let the crew know. Imagine what people might do if they realized no one could remember it. That would be a good twist!
01:44 Troi starts speaking.
Crewman in the back turns around.
Troi speaks of destroying the ship.
Crewman goes back to work.
Oh, another alien threatening to blow us to smithereens. How predictable!
Those tetris aren't gonna play itself.
Well that’s just the average Tuesday on the Enterprise.
Maybe he's the one crew member who understands that his attention to his station is paramount, and the senior officers are able to handle the intruder.
@@sherpajones "They pretend to pay me, and I pretend to work"
"No. Understand, Commander. We did not find a planet in this sector. We passed through without incident. No significant discoveries were made. This conversation never happened...and I was never here."
"Yes, mister Jones."
"I'm sorry. No such person exists."
And the torpedo hit the hull, and I was never here.
I don't know why the Enterprise even has a crew. Data and the computer can do any shield modulation or medical procedure instantly.
Because exploration is not something humans do just to learn... exploration is something we do to experience for ourselves.
Technically that'd just be a probe like the Voyagers we've sent outside our solar system. While they can send data back to us, they don't exactly work as replacements for first contact scenarios or on site research.
There's only one Data. There are plenty of redshirts.
@@lekoman
Nano swarm avatars in constant communication with our telepresence room would do it
but Data can't repair the ship during a fight.
One of the coolest mysteries TNG ever did.
I think crusher losing her mind in limbo was pretty intense too.
I feel the time loop episode was the better mystery. It wasn't a mystery to us, but it sure was to the crew.
I mean it’s no Dixon Hill...
I wonder if the Paxons are hiding from Q.
@@scottys1423 Probably... Best mystery is the one where an anonymous No. 1 nearly gets the enterprise to destroy an unknown species. They are too weak to do it without a Starfleet vessel. cool...
2:57 "I'm not sure that you're going to be able to integrate it into your program". Of course he's sure, he worked with Data for a long time and also knows very much how he works. I think he does that remark to show that Paxan that, in fact, Data will follow the order of his captain no matter how unusual.
I think is brilliant writing, like pretty much all of TNG.
I mean, it DOES cause a paradox, does it not? Picard orders Data to disregard Picard who orders Data to...
I'm sure Data's sophisticated enough to figure out and apply other means of locking that last order in. But to be honest, that's exactly the kind of amazing system that puts Data on a level higher than a machine that simply follows orders that are input to it. Not only does he FOLLOW ORDERS, he recognizes that certain values override subsequent orders...regardless of the possible outcome that would occur to his very existence (remember, as part of interrogation, Picard warned that Data would possibly be stripped down to the wires to determine why he did not obey orders).
That truly puts Data out there as the perfect Starfleet officer. And Captain material.
TNG is written for children; I estimate about age 9.
@@Pooua curious to know which Trek series you consider grown-up? And please don't say DS9 or Voyager.
@@szahmad2416 If any of them are, it would the TOS. However, I lost much of my enthusiasm for "Star Trek" twenty years ago. I enjoyed TOS when I was a pre-teen, and I still enjoy seeing some of it now, but its flaws are more apparent to me, now.
@szahmad2416 I dunno some episodes of Star Trek Deep Space Nine were almost certainly not for the kids. One was even facing an 18 rating from the BBFC until it was censored
Crew member in the background seems mildly interested only when possessed Troi speaks and then goes back the arbitrarily pressing buttons. Worf getting throw against the wall? "Nope, doesn't involve me."
1:46 (yellow shirt in the background) “Damn…I never knew she had such a sultry voice.”
I laughed really hard! Good one!
Probably playing Galaga.
'Captain, Counsellor Troi just got up out of her chair in a somewhat strange way. I, of course, immediately decided to shoot her with a phaser, as any reasonable Security Officer would. But I also made sure to get close enough for her to disarm me by awkwardly hopping down from the console first'
Data I am going to give you a most unusual order ... I am ordering you to never reveal the location of the beans. Not to starfleet not to my self you will conceal the existence of the bean horde for as long as you exist.
I would not have needed an order to keep the location of the bean horde a secret.
The real question is, why doesn't Data delete that information from himself? he's a computer after all, he could have had it where the moment the crew wakes up, it triggers a program to delete Data's knowledge on what happened.
He's shown in a past episode where he was dating that woman that he can do that.
Maybe Picard is being a bit sly, he has to go along with the Paxans' demands but he'd also like to make sure some record of the encounter does exist somewhere for posterity's sake, in case for example the Paxan civilisation is destroyed by a disaster, or the Paxans ever abandon their position of isolation in favour of war. Or just to subtly help keep the Enterprise from accidentally returning to that planet, a job he obviously failed at in this episode.
The problem is that in the story, Data operates as an intermediary between both species. If Data didn't know what was happening either, chances are they would have gone back to the planet exactly the same way as the first time and without Data to reason with the Paxans, their only option would have been immediate annihilation of the Enterprise. In other words, the story falls apart.
@@imperium3556 "As long as you live." Opening up the possibility if carefully interpreted to leave a record for posterity when he's dying or something.
And the movie Insurrection shows that his memory engrams can be removed. But to your point, he didn't erase his memory of dating the woman, he erased a program he wrote to help him form a relationship with her.
@@imperium3556 Possible but I doubt it, it's not really his style.
Paxans jealousy guard their beans from aliens.
I've never heard Worf's bones actually break before!! Ugh!!
Picard's perfect plan never accounted for his own need to solve mysteries.
Or the Klingon fart that made the paint peel off the walls and Warf saying Captain, I never had any beans.
"Yes, i have done the ceremonial beating of Worf".
Watched this episode for first time yesterday. Absolutely brilliant. Followed by first contact which was equally as good
Watching these clips always puts me in the mood to watch an episode of TNG!
My favorite part about this episode is the callback to "Remember Me", where Crusher asks O'Brien to "don't go anywhere", in reference to how he vanished from sickbay under similar circumstances--if I recall correctly, both times he was having a kayaking injury treated.
“Here we are again”... a interesting choice of words.
'to the best of my ability' does not ensure yes.
Edit: Why couldn't Data just delete certain memories/data by order? Like a browser history...
You don’t understand how a positronic brain works do you? lol, nah you’re right. I was thinking the same thing.
This channel is awesome 💯 and the dude's love for beans funny and priceless
I find the Paxans as a species to be offensive. It's their right to be xenophobic and isolationist, but IMO that right ends when it entails assault on others: stunning the Enterprise crew into unconsciousness, wiping their minds, seizing control of Troi, etc. Clearly they have superior power, though, so the crew has no choice but to accede and do whatever is necessary to escape alive. At the same time, the story *is* a good one, and it's interesting to observe a sort of middle-ground race: not a Federation member, not a trading partner, not an outright enemy, but one with which coexistence seems to be possible given some very strange conditions.
@Will Hooton Right. I think Picard understood this and this was why he was so accommodating, despite the assault/defense.
Also, as a crew of explorers, you need to be much more empathic to the different demands of various alien races. I think that's one of the biggest lessons of the show.
The chad Paxans laugh at your virgin offense.
Then they don't have the right to be xenophobic and isolationist. If you have no means of enforcing a right when it's challenged, you don't have that right.
@Will Hooton agreed. By the rights of sovereignty they could have killed everyone on the enterprise. They do have the right, just we would to destroy any alien force on our planet that we deem a danger to our existence, whether real ir perceived
if i were the paxans, the enterprise would have been already deleted. there is nothing in their interest to cooperate with such an upper hand, and everything to lose by failing their ruse. but i guess picard caught them by surprise by surrendering pretty much on the spot
"There are over 1,000 lifeforms aboard this vessel, how could you assure their silence?"
"I have their full holodeck histories"
"Agreed"
If you ask Siri to name the tune when the TNG Piano theme starts playing at the end of the video, she will always give a different song. The weirdest one so far for me has been "Hands" by Martek C. I've also been told it is Tubular Thirds by Dave Cook and O Come O Come Emmanuel (Soprano).
Picard's meddling almost caused the destructiom of the Enterpise & crew. He should have listened to Data.
So what this scene tells us is Picard ordered the crew to cover up any indications of the lost day, and Crusher didn't consider the experiment she had literally just started.
To be fair, she was a little preoccupied giving medical care and covering up the necessary medical records of the thousands of people on board the ship
The solo classical piano outro of the Star Trek theme song is immense!!! Thank you
Emergency plan ZZAlpha? Data is obviously the greatest hitch-hiker in the galaxy! 😉
Picard - Data, never tell anyone including me, ever. Data - ok. End of episode - Data - tells everything to Captain
I always thought that erasing Picard's memory was a mistake. He's trustworthy and if he and Data both remembered the first time around, then they wouldn't have experienced the problems. Although there wouldn't be an episode either.
Yeah, but the idea was to only let Data retain it as they couldn't erase his memory, but they could fairly effectively, in theory, get him to keep a secret.
Consider that the borg assimilated Picard. They could easily steal the info directly from his brain.
The aliens don't know that. They're already accepting a massive risk allowing the robot who they can't mind wipe go, why double that with a biological life form they can wipe
I have lived in interesting times. Got to see a lot of Star Trek, from the original to today.
Data saves the ship again but never gains a promotion in seven years and X movies.
Eventually they are going to realize the computer time is off by 2 days and wonder how that happened.
This episode is what makes me believe that Data is the perfect loyal Starfleet officer...and also would make an excellent Captain (yes, I know I watched him take command on occasion...wasn't convinced until I re-watched this bit).
What I never understood from this episode is that supposedly he modified the chronometers to mask that they lost an entire day. By the end of this episode it looks like they lost 2 days. You can't tell me that no one figured out later that two days were lost when they arrived to a star-base, linked up to a communications array or encountered another ship. Translate would have noted that they lost a ship for two days.
The bigger mystery is why this didn’t occur to more people. You, myself, and one other commenter are the only ones who pointed this out. Missing two whole days sounds like a freakish plot hole to me!
@@Creshex8 perhaps he subtly adjusted the chronometers several times over the course of the next few days to adjust for the difference without alerting anyone.
@@lenkagamine4145 this was actually a really good solution proposed by someone else here. The only problem is two whole days is a lot of time to nickel and dime back up to.
@@Creshex8 Well, you could probably change the time quite a bit while everyone is sleeping without alerting them. Two or three hours every night.
So Data only held the secret till the plot demanded he spilled the beans. The plot is a powerful force.
beans are a powerful force
@@scottmatheson3346 Yup, and what they do to Klingons is just not right........the poor bridge crew
Poor Worf. Always a punching bag for being a member of a notorious tough race.
I literally only subscribed because I thought the intro bit was clever, and good sound mixing.
0:08 Geez, at least they could have lay down first before getting unconscious.
Such flattering positions
Indeed right?
Like, you know you're going to faint... so why not park your own body somewhere cozy instead of letting it hit whatever it hits?
1:45 I love the way the dude in the back just doing his business
This was one of the two times when Worf looked weakest. The other was when he lost the firefight with a ferengi because of poor marksmanship.
Would be hilarious if Data just decided to tell everyone this random tidbit of info during the the time that he was rebelling with Lore.
Is this the only TNG episode that did a flashback sequence? I can't think of any others off the top of my head.
I know star trek ds9 did a few flash back episodes but yeah for tng I am not sure
@@thewewguy8t88 There is one at the end of season 2 that we don't talk about.
Asking an alien to effect your memory should be a huge red flag, no no.
Odd how Worf saw Troi stand up and immediately saw that as a threat. I guess she was never supposed to leave that chair for the rest of her life.
Even more odd is why Worf drew his phaser and then ran all the way around the console railing to within an arm length of the threat instead of just firing from where he stood. What was his plan there? To kiss her?
YES, you got it he's got a boner for her.......and yes the Klingons are an odd bunch
and 5 minutes later he already defiled that order...
It's funny how Worf runs up to Diana with a phaser drawn. Does he mean to bear it as a blunt instrument? 😆
I like the guy at the terminal behind Troi, “Wait, did she just say something about destroying the ship? Never mind that though, their are datapoints to enter into the system.”.
So did Data have special access or can anyone Lt Cmdr and above release random chemicals into the ventilation system?
This is such an excellent episode...
(If someone's going to make an inappropriate joke, may as well be me) As the Paxan described the bio-stasis energy field defense, did the encounter from their point of view go something like this:
Paxan 1 - There's an alien vessel entering our space
Paxan 2 - Prepare to Cosby that ship!!!!
Paxan 1 - Wait a minute... you want to make the whole crew go to sleep, and then... do very wrong things to them while they're unconscious?
Paxan 2 - The way you say it, you make it sound like a bad thing. Here, try this roofie-flavored pudding pop...
This was a good episode.
I liked the subtle cracking sound when Worf got grabbed and thrown, not very noticeable on first watch, crunching of a wrist breaking.
Data violated the order he was just given. Perfect.
I think this is one of the best episodes of ST:TNG.
One thing about Star Trek that kinda doesn't make sense. Every new species or civilization they meet is so united that they can send 1 single person to speak on behalf of the entire population of the planet (or even multiple planets). I can't imagine Earth ever agreeing on one single person to represent the entire human species 😂
They probably don't have the same sense of self that we do. The "energy" that was controlling Troi may not have even been one of them. Possibly just a defence system, coded to think for itself.
Ooor the US just pretends to be the world government.
What human thought process... you can't comprehend because you're human....
Love that pop sound from Mr Woof's wrist, miss you Lwaxana, you would have been fun in so many episodes. And yea I know she was not in this clip.
He was awfully quick to volunteer the crew for memory wiping.
I'd take a day's worth of memory wipe over death, any day.
Worf always gets his ass kicked. I like how Troy is possessed and yet stronger than Worf.
Even for TNG-standards, that's a horribly bad story :
"Yeah, I'm not gonna tell anybody!"
"Really?"
"Dude, trust me!"
well, the Paxon have erased their memory, now they don't even _know_ there's a story to tell
The alternative was to destroy the ship and hope nobody comes looking.
@@DanielLCarrier Or to kill everyone on board and move the ship elsewhere. Or kill Data and erase everyone else's mind. That's just plot armor.
@3:29 Picard says the name of the species, paxons, Even though chronologically he had not heard the name before.
Data said it a few minutes earlier in a voiceover. But the voice over was in the future telling the story of the past.
That happened at the McDonald’s near me yesterday. It was closed six months for renovations. All vestiges of former prices had been erased.
I hear ya mate $18.00 for a big Mac
Unusual that Picard would jump to that sort of arrangement so quickly. He's normally a better negotiator than that.
Possessed troy threw worf like a ragdoll😂
Compound W always gets the job done.
Trying to imagine Picard agreeing to an alien species to interfere with the entire crew's short term memories via some kind of unknown neurologic manipulation to save them. Back in the 21st Century, we couldn't even get people to put a little sheet of fabric in front of their faces...
That's why he made it an order without asking the entire crew.
"Computer, release compound B-E-A-N into the airflow system. 5 parts per million"
Hardly enough for even an English breakfast... I suggest 125 parts per million.
They could have erased everybody’s memories except all senior staff. I.e. the main cast.
At the very least, leave Picard. He already has classified knowledge such as the Omega Protocol. It would just be a matter of having the planet classified as off limits for some safety reason just like the region of space where Starfleet first synthesized Omega is said to be naturally unstable for warp drive instead of damaged by an artificial event.
@@Theroha Now that would make more sense.
@@Theroha Picard would have to lie to Starfleet about it, which he can't.
There are so many simple ways this could have been avoided. I'm sure the Paxons could trust the captain alone to retain memory. It feels like all the decisions were made in a rush when they had an entire day to put their plan in action.
@@Hamstray He doesn't have to lie to starfleet. He only has to convince the Paxons he will keep his silence. He can then write a report to starfleet security, classified at the highest level where only the top admiral in that department and the CNC can read it. They would probably read the report and just go, hmm, ok, carry on, and then destroy it or bury it in their ultra high top secret vault.
"If I order him to never reveal his knowledge of you, is that sufficient?"
"Are you joking?"
The thing is as soon as they connect to any starfleet system other than their own there is going to be a discrepancy in what day it was.
3:05 In what sort of armed service is a member required to follow *all* orders, without exception?
All of them
@@xp8969 nope, lol. and there are no armed services in which an officer is allowed, let alone required, to obey his immediate superior's commands to conceal information from higherups.
The cracking of Worf’s wrist sounds like the bending of a chopstick. So creepy!
That is amazing. So many species and hybrid species all have the same reaction to stimulants.... Aerosol stimulant at that
Data cant delete his own memories?
If he did he would also delete Picard ordering him to keep silent.
I like how Picard wakes up then instant Picard maneuver on the shirt
Data's expression at the very end of this episode (not shown in this video) is worth the entirety of the whole episode.
We never got a payoff later from the paxson's story line. I would have loved to have seen data be tested as to his ability to follow pichard's order for all time. Might be a great "pichard" season 3 storyline.
3:05 as a starfleet officer I am required to follow all of your orders, captain. Except for all those times I didn't because of extenuating circumstances or because someone took control of my brain
That's one way to get people to subscribe. A true TNG fan would never disobey Captain Picard. 😂
"There are over 1,000 life forms on this vessel" is such a human-centric line written by the show for an alien to say. Wouldn't an energy-whooshing alien thingie also locate the bacteria on the vessel? I mean, there would still be over 1,000 life forms if we included microorganisms, but we know why the green thingie is saying that number.
Worf's little hop over that wood railing gets me every time.
I would have woken everyone up to a data doing a puppet contest on the halo deck with actual puppets not made by the holodeck and said it was Wesley’s idea 😂
Data: "and then you told me to never ever tell you". Picard: "listen here you little-"
I like how all Troi has to do is stand up for Worf to know something is wrong with her.
Simple reason, she is trying out a new yoga pants jumpsuit, and Warf saw those cheeks and got a boner.......it's not always about the boobs
The Paxtons took control of Commander Trois body. Troi upon waking up surprised""where are my clothes""🤣😂🤣
