    Man when geordi got stuck on the alien ship and worf was all 'you will die with dishonor! you will not ascend to the 24th heaven!"
    and then they were like 'do you think he understood'

    Yep the flashing lights thing for directions was odd. What if two people were looking for directions?

    I do recall the person who shows Riker how to use the arrows checks out Riker's ass.

    Well, it looks like they were still at the flashing lights for directions in s2 e19!

    There's three shifts per day, four for Jellico's brief command. If something big happens they call all senior officers to their stations because you probably don't want some lieutenant JG in command of the graveyard shift full of ensigns using their wealth of experience in a crisis or a first contact situation.


    Do you reckon they're ever too drunk to be called on shift. Like at one of their poker games

    Not if they're drinking synthohol. I'm pretty sure the whole point of it is the adverse effects can be dismissed quickly. Guinan's stash of Aldebaran whiskey is another story.

    Who watches the watchers: some pyscho dude is obsessed with shooting people with arrows, including picard, and his people are okay with that. no punishment or locking him up or anything.

    Also, their entire belief system had just been turned upside down. I think we can cut the guy a little slack.

    I actually really like that episode. You can see shades of it in Insurrection.

    That is such a great episode. The bridge redress and lighting looks really cool and I like the minor changes to the uniforms.

    I don't think i had seen the Lal episode before :(
    I thought she'd end up pottering around somewhere instead of an emotional thing breaking her.

    It always surprises me how early on that one is. It's season 6 level of quality but way back in s3!

    So I just watched it again (these threads will do that :p) and it really is an outstanding episode.. action, drama, romance, a moral dilemma, a harder Picard but still the same Captain we know and love underneath it... it even has a female Captain who I think served as a template for Janeway in several ways.

    Poor ole Riker gets a pretty hard time though, and that's before the console explodes! :p

    It's an epic scene alright...

    I prefer Picard's line at the end when the Klingons order him to surrender... "That will be the day" as he then vaults over the tactical console and goes down fighting :D.
    That one sequence is far more effective and true to the character than "action Picard" from the movies.

    Wesley even seems competent and professional at 1:43-1:55... This episode really did have everything :p

    Out of curiosity, are people rewatching the remastered versions, complete with the new FX? That's the version available on Netflix anyway, and was really surprised and pleased at how well the transfers looked when I did my own runthrough.

    Such a shame the home release undersold, effectively mothballing the same thing happening with DS9 et al.

    God yeah, I don't think I could ever watch the SD versions again. The HD remasters are light years better.

    I know it was a costly excersise, but I blame the costs per season myself, for why it didn't do well. Most everyone bought their DVD seasons at 60/70/80 euro a pop. Then we're asked to buy them all individually again, for an even higher price? Had the remasters been priced at between €30/€50 per season, more people would have bought into them, and this the numbers would have been higher.

    Secondly, physical media began to die at the stage blu rays were coming out...nobody was going to drop ~€600 on seven seasons of a 20 odd year old show.

    DS9 would also probably be a lot more expensive to remaster HD with all the pew pew pew pew.


    But it could be awesome....

    Got the introduction to lt broccoli today.
    Very good episode about being nice to people. Guinan and picard telling the lads to cop on

    Also iiiii am the goddess... Of empathyyyy

    I kind of agree with riker though. Should be a ban on holodecking your crewmates. Imagine some creeper was reconstructing you to get it on with. The therapy benefits are good but not worth it

    That was the computer taking liberties with Geordie's commands, Barclay's was intentional.

    Oof, those Barcley / LaForge romance episodes. It's very glib to dismiss old media and how "you couldn't do that anymore", but it's hard to imagine how recreating a person in a holodeck and romancing them was EVER a good/smart/non creepy idea...

    Geordie's was accidental and I don't think it's implied Barclay did anything "creepy" unlike Quark when he tries to recreate Kira on DS9. I think Janeway was the only Federation character who intentionally created a holo-partner.
