Stephen Lee RIP, who plays Chorgan, is also in a movie you might like Jen if you haven't seen it already called The Negotiator with Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey.
From what I can see, only one person has ever reacted to it on YT which is interesting considering it is a pretty good movie I think.
Yuta: “I do not feel pleasure or passion. I haven’t been able to for a long time.”
Jen: “She’s come to the right place.” 😂😂😂
"Is she evil? That music just told me that she's evil!" 😈😂
14:28 Best reaction EVER! Completely honest and adorable at the same time.
When Captain Picard made the suggestion for shore leave for all who want it.. and Riker said he's pass that the rest of the crew.. and Picard stood there for few seconds lo9ing at Riker as if to say: I was meaning you, Number 1. Take some down time, you deserve it.
Imagine growing up with aspirations to join Starfleet. You have to work really hard and get exceptional grades to be accepted into the academy. You graduate with the highest honors and have the good fortune to be posted to the Enterprise - the flagship of starfleet. You are assigned to the bridge as navigator. Then, out of the blue, a super-smart kid who has a senior officer mom and a family connection to the captain knocks you out of your position. There are three bridge shifts and the kid gets the primary one with all the senior officers. I’d say the Enterprise has some justifiably salty navigators.
Starfleet nepo-baby
as Gene would say, no-one in the 24th century would care
Gene's opinion was that workplace conflicts and politics would have been resolved and would not exist by the 24th century. While Gene was in control, during the first few seasons, he was insistent that no friction between the crew be shown. Good point about Wesley, the writers seem to have missed that his promotion could engender resentment
@@seanmcmurphy4744 Well, thats like in sports where if you can shoot a basket, hit a ball, or run fast you can make millions from a natural talent. Wesley still had to go to the academy, but his knowledge has saved that ship a number of times. Any bitterness from the crew would just be jealousy that they aren't as smart as Wesley is naturally.
I have knowledge of the “Roddenberry box” that asserted that conflicts within starfleet no longer existed. No greed, hunger, jealousy, etc. The writers hated this because while it’s a great way to look at our future, it is difficult to write television without conflict. After Gene’s passing, the series started to allow more conflict on the ship. For an example of how some of the passed-over navigators might have felt, I think the last acts of the season six episode ‘Tapestry’ are a good example of.
Next Jen never misses, so I never miss Next Jen.
Next Jeneration
Deep Space Jen

Jenergize!
Make it Jen
"She hasn't aged a day."
Jen's got it.
The part where one of the gatherers says "so I claim his possessions"..
That guy wooed marina sirtis (troi) and they married. True story.
They lived happily married lives together until he passed in 2019. May he RIP.
Why can't I remember any of these episodes? It's like I'm seeing them for the first time! THANKS JEN 😊
Not by smoking lots of weed.
Soon she will get to a whole run of episodes we all remember well
It’s been awhile since I last said this but it’s Sunday and you know what that means….Star Trek Sunday is here once again with our beloved Captain Jen 🖖.
Always a joy.
Jen is like ASMR
It’s mental relief and my happy place
❤
Best thing about this episode for me is the lovely Lisa Wilcox who also played the kick-ass Alice in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 & 5.
Yes, Riker likes sampling other... cuisines... right, cuisines.
Jen is one clever and funny commentator
Time to energize aboard the U.S.S JENTERPRISE . Make it so ! 🖖💙🖖💙🖖💙
"She's come to the right place."
Niiice.
Sovereign Marouk was played by Nancy Parsons, known for her work portraying the hilarious role of Coach "Ballbreaker" in the Porky's movies.
It was tough to see Riker firing and upping the setting each time for such a conflicted character as Yuta.
Holy moly! THAT'S WHERE I'VE SEEN HER!!! Thanks Paul!
I think she also plays an alien in a later season
1:51 This woman they're talking to is the same actor who plays the annoying teacher, Miss Ballbricker in the "Porky's" Trilogy.
The actress playing Yuta was Lisa Wilcox, the 'final girl' in A Nightmare on Elm Street Parts 4 & 5.
It's a very good episode, I love seeing Picard's skills at diplomacy. The ending is a little melodramatic for me though. There was nothing stopping Riker from simply physically taking Yuta into custody. She didn't have a weapon that could harm Riker, or anyone but Chorgan, and Riker could've also stunned her until she passed out, so the ending is engineered to be exciting for the audience. Other than that, awesome episode showing humans as peacemakers, which I love.
Jen I absolutely love your enthusiasm while watching these episodes. You clearly love this series!
Love going through the series through your eyes. I completely forgot about this episode. Thoroughly enjoyed re-watching this.
This is wild, I must have watched TNG start to finish at least 3-4 times over the years but have never seen this one before. Literally nothing about it rings any bells, unlike every other episode you've watched to date. Kinda stunned to be honest, I thought the only ep not shown here was the 'totally not about the iRA' one...
YES, THIS was an espiisode. THE ACTRESS who played an assassin was a major star in the 80s.
That actress was might-FINE-too. Lord have mercy. LOL.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e INDEED
Picard was directly behind Uta when Riker vaporized her, I'm guessing Picard later was like, "Yeah about that..." I always liked this episode, its great to watch full length.
Lisa Wilcox played Alice in the The Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Master and The Dream Child films.
and the
WALKER TEXAS RANGER
SAVING GRACE
And Nancy Parsons played Ms Ballbricker in Porkys.
@@MINKIN2also as one of the mad Killers of "Motel Hell".
'Lieutenant, are you wearing your hair differently?'
Jen: She hasn't aged a day!
Riker: She hasn't aged a day.
*Jen points significantly.* :D Easily my favorite reaction in this episode! X)
Indeed, I had a great time! Love your reactions, Jen! :)))
That Troi episode did have some subtlety to it as well, I get the feeling the start of that episode was "hey, let's explore the ethics of a telepath using their ability to help the captain and crew" and the love interest was just sort of a vehicle to do that.
I literally do not remember this episode in the slightest. Which is uncommon, I remember most episodes word for word.
Riker is really into vaping.
. . . chicks.
DUUUUUUUDE! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
It's mainly the Federation who use phasers, with Romulans / Klingons using disturptors and others using more exotic weapons like laser whips or phased plasma rifles.
What makes the phaser unique is its adaptibility: it has several stun settings, modes good for cutting, drilling, burning etc, and of course a kill setting. This fits right in with Starfleet; an optionally lethal/non-lethal weapon that is more like an advanced multitool than a space gun.
Disruptors are more like space guns. They have far less out of combat applications than a phaser, and are commonly used by Klingons, Romulans and Cardassians. The Federation has banned at least one type of disruptor for humanitarian reasons.
I like how they handled Riker here. I was in security and bodyguard work in my younger days, and there were two times that I almost had to drop the hammer on someone. Fortunately, I did not, but even coming close really effects a person. As you said, you do what you have to do. I would far rather get shot at while protecting someone than do the shooting.
What?
@@mattstrathis4328 Actually having to kill someone is a difficult thing, no matter how much it needs to happen sometimes. They didn't have Riker talking about what a good shot he made, or just blowing it off as no big deal. They handled it well.
Agreed, had to chase down someone who ran through the main gate at Ft. Sill when we ordered him to stop. Having to actually lock and load my 9mm, chase someone down and do the whole get on the ground thing showed me that even the prospect of taking a life in a justified setting as an M. P. was never going to be my bag. Finished my second tour and studied psychology instead.
@@noneya3635 I have far too many friends who have been the military in one capacity or another who have had to take a life. It changes you, which is probably a good thing. My when my grandfather taught me how to hunt, he always said that if you ever reach the point where killing doesn't bother you, it's time to stop. I've known a couple of guys who were in service for far too long. There's a point past the 'thousand-yard stare' where men are truly dead inside, and it is not pretty. I'm glad you got out in one piece, mentally and physically.
@@JKM395 Honestly i have a hard time conceptualizing how anyone "gets over" killing someone for another persons political beliefs. Even if one is rah rah rah USA all the way from birth, at some point you have to realize that wars are two rich dude's arguing over land and or resources. And the "others" you're ordered to call the enemy and kill have done you no harm and vice verse. Once you see this it's a no brainer that killing in war is just state sanctioned murder. NOPE!
This is such a good episode. Especially for Commander Riker. I also love the dialogue in this episode.
I was just realizing that Riker could have physically stopped the girl and there should be a variety of nonlethal methods available especially by this time in the future. Of course this would make the story and scene less dramatic and impactful.
An episode that slipped my mind, but as always, I'm happy to revisit the twists with your reaction.
The actress who played Yuta did such a great job in my opinion. Those scenes with Riker, I felt like I could see the pain in her eyes. It doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous. Not the best episode, because I hate when they show the audience what is going on when the characters don't know, but I still enjoy this one.
2:18 Riker is such a Horn-Dog, albeit a Classy one.
4:07 Burn! That was a quality burn.
12:17 Once again, Jen's Serious Girl Spectacles see into the future...
Yuta was hot, even before she got vaporized. I think it awakened something something me as a young lad.
The fact Picard just sat there as Ryker shot Utah aside (it was an artifact/director slip up from the setup of the phaser fx shot), it makes no sense that once he stunned Utah the first time, she couldn't have easily been tackled away from her target.
But, no, Ryker kills her slowly instead. And yes, she was lead in one of the 'Nightmare on Elmstreet' movies.
I guess he could have brought a small team to arrest her, but she was given a ton of chances and warnings. She was haywire, dangerous and didn't care about her own life the entire episode anyway. She was the kind of psychotic that would likely have taken her own life once her glorious, whole life goal of murder was accomplished. Her mind was long gone and Riker actually just put her out of her misery after trying multiple times and ways to get through to her. Had she been forced into some sort of prison/rehab custody of any kind, she wouldn't have suddenly changed then either.
He didn’t even have to go down there at all. Just have Jodie teleport her to a cell on the enterprise.
Other species of the Federation also have phasers, but not all energy beam weapons are phasers. Klingons and Romulans are known for their "disruptor" weapons which "disrupt" the molecular bonds and disintegrate the target in a tortuously painful manner. Most weapons have variable settings from stun to kill to vaporize.
yes, and with several different settings between "tickle" or "weak taser" (that riker used a few times at first) and "kill" or even "disrupt" (which he used next), shouldn't there have been several more settings eg to "immobilize" or "completely stun" ? why did he go directly from weakest to strongest (we saw him pressing the adjustment buttons several times), except to quickly and permanently "solve" the problem of having someone with such deadly cells survive and having to take care of that problem individually in a lengthy future process, and instead finish this episode and all implications permanently ?
Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome weekend ❤
Thanks John you too!
Jen Murray treating everything that is new with suspicion and skepticism. Haha! Let's first establish the truth!
To answer your question, yes, other races had phasers. Klingon and Romulan phasers were called disruptors. I'm looking forward to "Yesterday's Enterprise" my favorite episode in the whole series!
I think it's smart releasing these on Sunday. I find there's not much new content on Sundays
It's nostalgic for me, since Star Trek TNG, DS9, and Voy always aired on Sundays in my area. 6PM appointment viewing with my Mom and Sunday dinner. Good times.
Star Trek Jen is the best!!! 🖖🤗
There are only three issues with this episode that would make it so much better:
1) The Ackamarians on both sides would have warp-capable ships, but limited to Warp 3-5, making it necessary for the Enterprise to assist, as the Gatherers would’ve left decades ago beyond easy reach of Ackamarian patrols.
2) Make the Sovereign aware of Yuta’s nature as an assassin, and taking advantage of Picard’s assistance to purge the Gatherers, while a cabinet member and assistant to the Sovereign is genuinely interested in peace.
3) Riker beams Yuta to a detention cell instead of phasering her, and reveals the plot, also arresting the Sovereign. To cash in on Chorgon’s debt to him, Riker encourages him to continue the talks in neutral space, with the surviving cabinet that was unaware of the Sovereign’s deception.
I think this is a very intense episode. The two sides of the same species story is as old as time. Trying to calm and control and mediate with hateful people. The girl with PTSD who can't feel joy and hides her rage. An officer needing to kill someone in the line of duty. Hurt people hurt people, and this episode has a lot of hurt people.
Shout out to Commander Murray for accurately pre-quoting Riker's classic "SHE HASN'T AGED A DAY". Jen hasn't aged a day since she started this wonderful channel, and thankfully she's only out to infect us with good cheer 🖖
I like how in both this episode and “The Defector” you suspected the Borg. Sorry you were disappointed … lol.
She hasn't done Defector yet has she?
@@scottthompson4589 yes, she released both today
Jen you way better than target audience lol
00:33 Worf if famous about having issues with doors. This is one prime example. :)
Another amazing episode of star trek sunday with the awsome Next Jen! If i had written and directed this episode, I wouldn't have revealed yuta right at the start as the killer. I might have her off camera so the viewers can't see who it is. and the old guy killed first just says "who are you?" then cut back to the negotiations. maybe a second murder halfway thru the episode still not showing yuta, and then the crew figuring it out like they did.
Federation hand weapons are horrific, a full 2 seconds for someone to be disintergrated from the impact point outwards.
Jengage. 💜🖖
Riker's a real lady killer.
In this episode, Wesley was in the navigation chair. Plotting the course is a perfectly appropriate task for a "child". At 10 - 12 years old, I used to be the navigator on (interstate) family vacation road-trips. I was in charge of watching the map, pointing out which exits were coming up, and all in the 1970s with paper maps during an age long prior to GPS. Wesley does often sit in the helm chair, which actually "drives" the ship, but that too is something comparable to what I did at age 12, driving tractors and other farm equipment, mostly unsupervised by then, cutting, raking, bailing and hauling hay, driving (giant) tractors for neighboring farmers at 14 - 16 years old. Wesley was 15 (ish) when the series began. (Correct me on his age if I am off.)
You want the BORG to show up so much! I did, too. TNG is a little sparing with them, but they make it count.
yeah i think voyager has the most borg storylines
@@kluneberg8952 They didn’t hold back.
edit: It was like going to an all-you-can-BORG-buffet. I loved it.
I have no idea why Riker decided the only way to stop her from killing again was to kill her, but other than that I like the episode 😄
Well, he did try to stun her several times. The fact she shrugged them off indicates she is far stronger than a human, and she would kill Riker to fulfill her goal. His options were limited considering she was only steps away from her target.
@@MGower4465 I didn't see or hear any explanation to why she would be stronger, and she was immobilized while he was shooting but didn't actually remain stunned for reasons unknown. It doesn't really matter since I doubt the writers cared much about those details as long as Riker kills her for dramatic effect.
Which is fine I guess, it's just a tv-show so they get to do that whenever they want. I just wish they hadn't left so many obvious ways of resolving the situation without killing Yuta because it never feels like he had to. 😊
@@Cam-yu8wy "I didn't see or hear any explanation to why she would be stronger" - at 13:38 she clearly states that her body was altered.
Obviously, whatever gave her long life without aging, also gave her resilience against damage, perhaps fast healing, etc.
After all, she would become the last assassin of a dying clan - it wouldn't be acceptable if she were to be taken out by some random mugger or a disease, no?
"so many obvious ways of resolving the situation without killing Yuta" - so many?
Like what?
Beaming down Data to restrain her?
They didn't know she is this strong - remember, they only knew of the virus, they didn't know her body was altered, nor how it was altered - and also it's possible even Data wouldn't be able to act fast enough to stop her in time.
Same with teleportation - we are clearly shown that teleportation isn't instantaneous.
It would only take her a fraction of a second to transmit the virus - by the time she got teleported to the Enterprise brig, her victim would be dying.
What other obvious ways?
Remember that Riker beaming down was a rush job - they didn't have time to properly study the situation and come up with a plan.
@@JustGrowingUp84 The only information we are given is that she's been altered to halt her ageing in some fashion and to carry a virus that kills no one but the intended target, and is in some undetermined way resistant to phasers. I'm saying everything else is speculation for us fans because that much detail isn't important to the writers with hard deadlines, which is perfectly fine and presumably normal for most shows. the whole idea is to force Riker, to kill someone he, and maybe some of the audience, cares about, and providing Yuta some plot armor to make the scene more impactful is one way to go, and personally I think it did that.
I would have liked to see them remove options like the transporter which could have beamed her, Chorgan or for that matter everyone away. Considering the phaser stopped her when firing, he could have kept firing. She could obviously be distracted for a few seconds, it shouldn't have been just Riker...the list goes on. Again, I like the episode, but they didn't set up the scene in a way that made it seem like he had no option...
@@JustGrowingUp84 Riker first used one of the lowest settings twice, then at once went up many steps to one of the highest settings. and while also the intermediate settings might have had not enough power to really stop her, even the weakest already was good enough to "pause" her momentarily and gain enough time to at least try to capture her with physical force (she didn't appear to have extreme strength, and the virus was only dangerous for ONE who would have been able to leave in the meantime) before going to the highest settings. immediately going to the high setting might have been intended "only as a deterrent", but would be inappropriate for a leading officer like Riker.
killing her was only a (imho stupid) plot device to solve in a much too simple way the problem to quickly and permanently finish the episode, and without any need to discuss legal issues, whether and how to punish her, and how to treat a permanent (limited) danger from her being kept prisoner with her deadly abilities. although much less dramatic, it could have been solved (or at least been attempted to solve) in a much more peaceful and non-deadly way. of course, this ending fits the movie law of "villain gets killed in the end" :-(
Hello to all my fellow trackies 🖖🖖❤️❤️
Thanks jen
Yeah, I dont think he did have to kill her, the second stun appeared to be doing cumulative damage, one or two more would have floored her. Im not sure why they wrote it the way they did, they could have just carted her off to prison so its not like itd disrupt the episodic format. If they really needed her to die they should have shown her appear to grow, for whatever reason, more resistant to the phaser not less.
I’ve seen these episodes many times just realized the younger girl is Alice from nightmare on elm street - dream child.
This one always reminded me of Demotion Man...like what would have happened if the cameras kept rolling...between Dennis Leary and whats his face
Sovereign Marouk is from the Balbriker Cluster. She's looking for an elusive race known as the Tallywhackers.
They can be identified by their distinctive moles
0:58
all cultures have phasers or a phaser-like system, most noticeably the Federation (Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, etc), the Ferengi, the Bajorans, the Cardassians (compressors) and the Jem'Hadar (polaron beams).
Klingons and Romulans have disruptors, from which the Federation got technology to develop phaser _rifles_
the difference? the phaser fires a weaker beam that can be adjusted for various roles (as shown in The Enemy, used as a welding beam, or later on in Frame Of Mind settable to "wide beam", or in Brothers, set to repeating pattern)
the disruptor fires a short concentrated blast aimed to pierce materials and energy barriers.
phasers were first developed from laser weaponry and phase cannons back in the 21st century, while at the same time the Romulans had plasma cannons.
mixing plasma weapons with phase cannons, they got disruptors, which they gave to the Klingons during a brief alliance.
after the Borg incident, the Federation started developing pulse phaser weaponry and portable phaser rifles.
they got that by -stea- _studying_ some Romulan designs from captured weapons.
source? TNG technical manual and six months of study in order to better balance a weapons upgrade in Bridge Commander :D
Picard is very calm there.
Basically, Han Solo the species. Here is the nerdiest comment ever: I've always wanted to play a Star Trek ttrpg, playing a Gatherers campaign, using the worlds from the show as our campaign map.
I really like this episode. THe Gatherers are fun.
Awesome reaction of my favorite Star Trek The Next Generation episode!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Disruptors are more common than phasers as they are cheaper and easier to build. Phasers are more reliable for stunning people and can easily be tweaked to have different effects. Disruptors aren't as reliable for stunning as they can still kill when set to stun. Thus they are the preferred option by the Federation.
Rikers favourite food, Horn on the cob,
can't wait for deep space nine.
1:20 "Hunting them down is _not_ what I am proposing."
He's Jean-Luc Picard. He's a _diplomat._ Diplomats are not hunters.
It's the Dream Master
Oh yes, Stat Trek Sunday
I actually do remember this from the original run.
Holy Demolition Man 😳
Where’s Dennis Leary … perhaps Picard knows of the three seashells 🤔
This is one of those episodes that stuck with me, maybe because Yuta was that hot, but it was an interesting story too. Genetically engineered to assassinate with a touch, a great premise. And you did feel bad for Riker. It was rough.
4:22 - Is Picard saying "Bro, she's here, isn't she?"
I really hope so.
It’s Miss Balbricker from Porky’s
While I liked this episode very much, I thought it was strange that he thought he had to kill her when all he had to do was get in her way and restrain her.
GOOD point.
This is a Riker episode! Once again the Enterprise playboy stRikers again! To bad he had to vaporize his love interest. Ouch! 🤕 Capt Jen i really miss your opening of singing the intro music! I understand why you stopped but your luv for the music is what i love about your reactions and your channel. It gets me singing along and makes me smile! 😁 Regardless i will be here for the next reaction so long as you watch and react!! Thanks Jen ❤️💛 Live Long and Prosper 🖖🏻
In this episode we see Wort’s greatest enemy: doors
I watch first 🥇 great 👍👍
I always kind of enjoyed this episode.
Btw - the point of not having a lot of "killing action" is that it would be just totally absurd and unrealistic. SciFi is sort of fantasy... but the sad thing is that in many shows or movies that seem to take place in our real world... these stories are often much more fantasy then this show.
This is part of why it is liked so much.
These are intelligent people. Selfcritical and learning. Feeling a duty to make the universe a better place and understand the potential to participate in this.
In the end I find it sad that in most shows and movies killing is so much taking place. Do we really need it in all our shows?
Anyway - thanks a lot for your reactions. Still so many episodes to discover and looking foward to many more of your reactions - which are always a huge pleasure 🙂
This is where it starts to get good..
Good analysis Jen. Why were they not able to capture her with a stun setting?
Yuta will always be for me, first and foremost Alice from "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master".
No one should like killing poeple. I haven't watched this episode in a while but I really liked the mystery and the movie and Yuta as a character who's been on this mission for so long she's had to suppress every other personal desires aside or some how modified as well with the innate urge to wipe out the other clan.
Miss Balbricker!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
The great strength of scifi is to abstract our political systems to critique it from a rational viewpoint. However these themes of bloodfueds and tribal violence don't quite translate to star trek. Tribal grudges are very much fueling conflict and war to this day. They may not be cause or reason, but opportunists abuse the existing prejudices. Tho I must say that DS9 delves much deeper into these themes
They all just sit there passively while Riker continually phases Yuta. They couldn’t just restrain her and throw her in the brig?
She beat Freddy, Twice...
I am Big Fans ❤
*Riker vaporizes Yuta*
Picard: “WILL, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! THE SHIELDS ARE DOWN! HAVE WORF TRANSPORT HER TO THE BRIG WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?!”
Lol. Yeah, there were other ways to handle it, but this was more dramatic. X)
@@xzonia1 I generally like this episode but they REALLY needed a few more script passes for the end there.
@@CowabungaWo101 Agreed :)
With great respect to you both, and apologies.
If you notice, AS SOON as Riker arrives, she IMMEDIATELY starts moving closer to Borgha or whatever his name was. I don't think he would've had time to even say the order, let alone Worf to have time to acquire a lock (assuming they released lock of the "delegates," which they shouldn't have) AND actually engage the transporter before she touched him.
Her augmentations made her resistant to phaser stun, which we're shown, as well as the camera looking down last time at the phaser on max, with her and Will then looking at each other knowing he had tried and that the next shot would be the last.
I personally don't think it was poor writing, but it's portrayed in a very quick 90s way so it's all easy to miss.
Just my opinion, take care you two. Be safe out there
Riker: I needed the target practice. Then everyone starts laughing. Then credits.
Kojima does it again
Star Trek: The Next Jeneration
casualties of war 1988 put this on your list if anybody want to watch it
Michael j fox and John c Reilly and other good actors
That woman looks an awful lot like Beulah Ballbreaker
