Saucer section separation at Encounter At Farpoint Picard made Riker do it. In Generations Picard was on the surface of the planet and Riker and LaForge handled the saucer separation. In this scene Picard has Laforge re-assemble the saucer section and main drive section. I think Picard just doesn't know how to do it. When do we see him do it? Even with the Borg and talks about separating the ship he's on the Borg ship at the time.
Mr. LaForge...when I left this ship it was in one piece... Standard "Picard Love" It sounds like a reprimand, but it is really letting Geordi be Captain for a bit longer.
love how Picard knows when to give his senior officers like Geordi room to grow into future command. I mean really Jean Luc can't always command forever.
@@glst1974 one of the most memorable moments for me in TNG has always been when he has a talk with Riker about him turning down the promotion of captain to his own "lesser" ship. The dialogue in TNG is amazing and my favorite of all the ST series.
Actually he is a good guy. My oldest daughter wanted to ask him a question at a convention and he called her cutie. She was about 5 at the time. Her question was why didn't he have his visor on?
@@pcguysoffgridcabin There was a similar situation at a convention I read, when two parents met Michael Rooker, and they had their little kid. The little kid asked him how come he wasn't blue. So Rooker responded that he had to pretend to be a regular person when he was on earth, so he had to not look blue, and his hat was covering his fin. The kid's mind was blown. :)
The respect from Picard is evident. I remember that episode Laforge had to deal with a lot of stuff including being constantly questioned by others. He did great.
Cloaking only prevents visual ID. A good officer knows their engines will leave a "wake". It may be faint, but it's there. You just have to look for "spatial anomalies" (I believe that's the term.)
@@tenhirankei even so, in a moment of desperation (everything going too fast, maybe this is not your everyday post and you are filling in) it is not a bad idea.
You'd think they could devise a way to radiate scattered omnidirectional "noise" which would reveal the outlines of cloaked objects. Like dispersing a bag of flour in the air when there's no smoke to reveal an invisible opponent. Foolish Starfleet folks need to spend more time playing RPGs.
Geordi had a smile that could light up a room. I always thought Geordi was the most personable of all the main characters. I remember seeing an episode of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood where LeVar stopped by. He seemed right at home with Fred Rogers and seemed like the nicest guy you could meet. I want to hang out in THAT neighborhood.
I like the responses to Geordie. "Worf How fast can you get a weapons lock? "Fast" Here's your chair back Captain. Not before you get the rest of my ship back.
this shows why he was more than an amazing engineer: he was an excellent captain. Worf didn’t question his orders, merely sought clarification and accepted the answer. he might not have been seen as capable because of his zealousness as an engineer but he was a great commander
As a child this episode resonated to me as being something young black children could endeavor to have all the tools you need to save the day; mentally foremost. I talk to my father and he felt the same way with Sidney Poitier and the movie “ In the heat of the night.”

It's too bad they didn't use the saucer separation a little more often through the series. I know it was an expensive special effect, but the idea was pretty cool.
Old comment and this is just my personal opinion…. The problem wasnt with filming the saucer section removal process…. The problem i feel was the fact that the didnt create a dedicated filming miniature of the saucer and of the star drive section. This meant in order to film a sequence of them separated you have to take apart the primary filming model of the Combined starship…. Which meant all during the process of disassembly and assembly it was unavailable for normal filming, and ran the risk of an accident making it completely unavailable for ANY filming
The other problem is the 4 foot Enterprise model (the fatter one with the paneling) they built for later seasons was built as 1 piece. For Best of Both Worlds, they had to break out the ILM 6 foot model out of those scenes which took twice as many people to move around and use.
@@LordTalax because eventually people are going to realize its the same take, over and over and over again. Its why in TOS the sequence of the enterprise orbiting a planet usually wasn’t used for much else than an act break or a “back from commercial” segment with a voice over from the most senior officer

Johannes-Wesley Ladage yeah and what’s really cool is he is in the Star Trek MMORPG Star Trek Online, and he’s a full Captain (commanding a Galaxy class ship, of course)
Interesting, I watched this as a kid and Jeordi was a role model for me. Now that I am an Engineer and I reflect on my leadership and where I would fail, I think I would not have reacted like Jeordi when the Captain said that. I would have immediately launched into a self-explanatory mode where I might ramble off the course that led me to that decision instead of just "getting it" like he did and realizing the Captain was being a bit sarcastic in a good way hinting that he should finish his assumption of command by rejoining with the saucer. They did a good job showing how the future leaders are way more mature and aren't plagued by negative thinking, unlike me today who has a bit of an inferiority complex and battle with imposter syndrome.
I heard is more as a "You can continue to be acting captain until you put it back together." Butere there was a slight "I really would like to have my quarters back in the ship" undertone there too.
I though he said: "its going unresponsive" but ether way its normally caused by latency. i expect that most of the ships resources we're being using by the shields and weapons, causing latency in helm control. Reallocating additional system resources should solve the problem.
In the comic Star Trek: Countdown(prequel of 2009 reboot), Geordi retired from Starfleet and start building his own ships. He created future Spock's ship the Jellyfish.
Geordi was such a great character i wish they fleshed him out more, he had some good episodes focused on him but he did,nt have as many as he should've.
Geordi put that plan together very quickly. Shows his chops as a tactician, and his skill as a leader was also on display. Geordi should’ve been in command more often.
I met Mr. Burton at Toronto FanExpo this past August and went to his Q&A, he was absolutely wonderful and just laughed when I apologised for wearing an Imperial Officer's uniform rather than a Starfleet uniform when I got his autograph.
"You broke it you fix it" training a future commanding officer. Not just commanding in good times see how to fix a broken ship. One of the things I always loved about Star Trek was effective use of orchestral music. Not modern mess but on occasion.
Nice to have seen Geordi in a command position, wish he continued on and ditched engineering. He had much more ability in command. Could've easily have had a ship of his own in the Dominion war if he wasn't fixated on staying in engineering as a support employee.
Geordie was great in this. It's a shame they didn't build up on his command aspirations as a counterpoint to Riker who was given command opportunities but kept turning them down.
This is a great example of somebody having a truly outstanding understanding of what they, their team members and the tools at their disposal are capable of doing. This scene is brilliant on many levels and stands the test of time.
Not even a lifting from "Mars", but the whole damn thing. Crazy how pervasive and evocative a piece of music can be, either in a show or as a piece of concert music.

One of my favorite moments.
It was, and is still, exciting to see each characters development through the series. That's what made the series so great.
Definitely shows Geordi’s command abilities here. He does an incredible job and shows he could easily Captain a ship!
Still green but he had the potential.
This is probably one of LaForge’s best moments, and man does LaVar Burton seem to be having fun in these scenes.
He was also captain of reading rainbow
The moment Worf gains his complete respect for LaForge.
Now that is a Starfleet officer I would have liked to have seen more of. She looks like an Angel.
The first time we saw the Enterprise-D's phasers used in battle.
This episode is one of the many reasons why Geordi LaForge was my favorite character in Star Trek: TNG!!!!!!
You've gotta love that first taste of command. This is the start of his path to Commodore.
One of my favorite episodes.
"Shields down"
"Sir, we're still in the atmospher----" 💥💥💥
"You broke it you fix it" training a future commanding officer. Not just commanding in good times see how to fix a broken ship. One of the things I always loved about Star Trek was effective use of orchestral music. Not modern mess but on occasion.
“Engage.”
“Mr. LaForge, that’s MY line. Get your own!”
"Engage" was used by Captain Pike in the original pilot of TOS.
"Shields down - never mind the enormous heat from the atmosphere."
One of my most favorite episodes
I built a tiny model of the drone using toy pieces 25 years ago after I've seen this episode. Great time and best ST series.
Peizxcv Drones just came out within ten years, how could it exist 25 years ago?
NyuuMikuru1 the drone in the Star Trek episode. I build a crew model using assembly toys. My model cannot fly or anything.
Peizxcv Oh, thanks (Hit me in the head)
@ NyuuMikuru1
Drones are over 100 years old. The Sperry Aerial torpedo first flew in 1913.
Hovering drones have been used since just after WWII.
Nice to have seen Geordi in a command position, wish he continued on and ditched engineering. He had much more ability in command. Could've easily have had a ship of his own in the Dominion war if he wasn't fixated on staying in engineering as a support employee.
I love this episode as Geordie was one of my favourite characters.
Geordi was SO PLEASED with himself. That was a satisfying video. Thanks for uploading it
2nd time in the first season the battle bridge was used!!
Geordie was great in this. It's a shame they didn't build up on his command aspirations as a counterpoint to Riker who was given command opportunities but kept turning them down.
Apparently, Geordi made Commodore at some point
I do like it when we see other crew members who can also do their jobs properly :)
hey rules of the vehicle..fill it up with gas and make sure you return it in the same way you borrowed it...(not in this case but you get the idea)
love that 'mars' reminiscence in the music when the enterprise fires
lol, Holst could've done a lot more planets with warp drive, some repetition would be inevitable.
I like how things stop working and shields fail yet the ship keeps on going without blowing up.
Damn, I remember this episode,ho the memories. Cheers
that 'compensate' button has saved their lives a few hundred times
This is a great example of somebody having a truly outstanding understanding of what they, their team members and the tools at their disposal are capable of doing. This scene is brilliant on many levels and stands the test of time.
The beauty of Star Trek with its depiction of any characters great intellect and contributions.🙂
When you look at it as an engineering problem, it's something to fix and overcome!
“If you having hull problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a breach ain't one"
Geordi episodes are some of my favorites.
Not even a lifting from "Mars", but the whole damn thing. Crazy how pervasive and evocative a piece of music can be, either in a show or as a piece of concert music.
This experience helped prepare him to be chief engineer.
Red shirt Geordie and baby face Riker just hit different in the early seasons.
God you know that Geordi and Leanne banged that night and there was a lot of "Yes Captain yes!" going on. Hell of a job, Geordi, you deserve it.
Probably this encounter that got him the chief engineer position.
Love that smile from Geordi.. "Engaaage"..
And this is the reason why after Tasha's death Worf was promoted to her position or at least a reason.
I can absolutely see how Geordi became captain of the Challenger
Now THESE are the leadership qualities needed to host Jeopardy!
