The delivery of Worf's, "...my guess, superior Klingon technology", was delivered in only a way he could with his usual Worf dry personality and humor. My god, I did a literal LOL moment.
First off, it isn't superior Klingon technology. It's Romulan technology the Klingons stole. The Klingons couldn't cloak a boiled egg with a feathery down comforter. How they ever reverse engineered the Hur'q warp drive is beyond me. Still, cute scene.
Seven: "Admiral, we're now cloaked!". Geordi (livid): You stole the goddamn cloaking device from MY bird of prey!" Picard: "Geordi! I would never deceive you and I would never steal from....(Picard's voice trails off in shocked realization as Geordi also realizes what's happened and closes his eyes). Picard (softly): "Jack". Geordi (in a barely audible whisper) "Sidney". Two fathers fighting with each other and suddenly realizing that both of their kids are behind this whole thing. This is brilliant writing and brilliant acting about two fathers who have no control over their grown-up children, which makes it timeless.
"two fathers who have no control over their grown-up children, which makes it timeless." More like two fathers who realize that their children are doing the same stuff they would have done 30 years ago :D Geordi even said so himself^^
First rule of parenting: When there is something shady going on, ask yourself if it's something you would've done as a younger person and if the answer is yes...well you'll know who the culprit is. Like, thinking back to when my parents would catch me, I'd be like "How the hell did you know I did that?" and they'd go "Because I know you" I'd ask "How do you know me like that?" and they'd go "...not important. Now stop asking questions, you're in trouble!"
If they wanted to be actually true to Star Trek than they darn well had to replicate the effect. Discovery and Picard changing things like the warp effect sounds has been just one of many embarrassments the franchise has had to endure for years.
@@hurin1932 The... warp sound effects..? Did you watch any of the tmp movies? Or Tos to tng? Cmon if your gonna hate at LEAST find something better to nitpick about.
"Wasn't that a gift from the Klingons?" "And it will be again, that's the beauty of... wait, that doesn't really work here, does it?" "It certainly the hell doesn't."
Seeing the Enteprise-A was so cool. Jack's line of, "I've always been a Constitution man" was exactly how I felt. That entire scene and Seven's speech was just incredible writing.
That’s the thing with this season… line by line, scene by scene, frame by frame… it’s all so so well thought out and full of meaning ❤ spectacular series in every way
The fact that this ship is cloaking from the HMS Bounty with the Enterprise-A in the background makes me feel like the TOS crew is there too in spirit!
The exchanged looks between Picard and Seven are priceless! Without a single word Picard and Seven speak volumes through just their glances at each other as they watch the perpetually rude and dismissive Shaw stumbling over his words in hero worship upon meeting Geordi. These are great actors.
I thought it was so funny that Shaw takes every possible opportunity to Zing Picard and Riker, but meets LaForge an completely blows his wad over him! 🤣🤣🤣
I'd have really loved it if Geordi and Shaw geeked out together fixing the clocking device whilst the 'kids' stand back and watch. Seems like a missed opportunity in favour of a Geordi/Sidney moment.

Geordi"Have you any idea Jean Luc how many Federation treaty you violated?" Picard "Well I guess you have to include it to my tab" That's Picard's start to become Kirk moment there.
The real question; what treaties did he actually violate? Romulus was destroyed, and the Romulan Star Empire fractured into multiple different factions. The treaty of algeron should be null and void because one of the parties doesn't exist anymore. Unless the federation has a similar treaty with the klingons, there isnt a treaty to be broken.
I know. And when Data looks at Geordi at the end and says Geordi's name almost in recognition. Somehow the most emotional reunion out of all the ones in this episode and two words between them.

Because Geordi wasn't responsible for the shenanigans Shaw listed off. He specifically blames Picard and Riker for that, but Geordi was the guy who made sure the ship survived it all and to do that you have to be legendary...
to him Riker and Picard made the rest of the crew do what they did. Geordi was an introverted nerd the entire run of TNG who had to hologram a girlfriend, so he didn't get much attention. The most infamous he would get is when he got mind controlled by the Romulans to try kill the Klingon governor.
Wait, what? They both got busy right after the events of Nemesis? Sorry, wasn't following the series. That revelation is a shocker. I remember in Generations, he wanted kids after his brother and nephew Rene died. Well, I guess he made sure to continue the Picard name.
@@raul_jocson_ considering the Defiant device was a loan from the Romulans, yeah I bet theres a few layers of Decidedly Romulan Mumbojumbo clogging up the works. The klingon cloaking device is probably much simpler by comparison.
@vismortis that defiant was destroyed when the Breen frist enter the Dominion war, along with the cloaking device, which was given by the Romulans. The present Defiant is the replacement.
my favourite scene is the one before this when Sid confronts her father, reminding him who he really is "my crew is my family, you taught me that and I'm not afraid to step up and help them, you are" great writing even better acting
It always troubled me how they left Geordi by the wayside as far as exploring Data's human connections. Yes, Picard was somewhat of a mentor to Data, but Geordi was the closest thing to a best friend that Data had.
I am FOREVER GRATEFUL to Sir Stewart for doing this for us. I am so tickled, chilled, teared up, jumping out of my seat thrilled this happened. Live long and Prosper Trek Lovers!
Up to now watching season 3 is like watching the original STNG series but with everything cool i've always wanted to see and happen, all the scenes and moments are all so well crafted and the Nostalgia is out the space window AND WE ARE FINALLY GETTING WAY MORE SPACE SHIP BATTLES, the Titan is getting the screen time it deserves. A pure delight for all Star Trek fans .
1:12 - 1:25 Too bad Riker is on an away vision. Otherwise he would've sat down with Jack and Sidney and said "let me tell you a story about my first assignment aboard the USS Pegasus!!" 🙄
I can't help but wonder given the clear reverence Shaw holds for famed starfleet engineers like Laforge how he would be behave towards others famed starfleet engineers like Trip (Enterprise), Torres (Voyager), Miles O'Brian (Next Generation/DS9) and of course the great one himself Scotty (Star Trek Orginal) if he met them as well.
Scotty left the Enterprise in a small shuttle to parts unknown, so it's unlikely Shaw would have met him. The others are well known but not especially standing out in Starfleet lore. Torres' biggest achievement as an engineer was building the Dreadnought, which was essentially a WMD meant to fight Cardassian and Federation ships trying to stop it. Miles was not an engineer per se on the Enterprise, where he was Transporter Chief. He had a great reputation for keeping DS9 in orbit and not tearing itself apart, but had a good Bajoran crew and the genius that is Rom (not sarcastic, Rom is an engineering whiz). His reputation was made by surviving the first Cardassian War and then rising to command council status on DS9, impressing even the Cardassian ladies.
@@SantomPh first this was a hypothetical meeting, which should be obvious given the fact I clearly stated at the start of the comment "I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER", I never said he would meet them or could Torres was the chief of engineer of the only Starfleet ship ever to explore the Delta quadrant. And her achievements go far beyond that missile, she was promoted to chief engineer when Maquis and Voyager crews combined, over other star fleet officers who were original par of the ship's crew, which is a show of her level of skill as a engineer. Her skill and ability also proved vital during many missions for voyager and help the ship survive, just like Laforge when he was chief engineer of the Enterprise. Her part in the Voyager tale would have earned her a lot of respect among Starfleet. Miles achievements on DS9 and Defiant would have more than earned him a high level of respect as a engineer given everything he did. Yes he had a good engineering crew but a large part of the station operations was also thanks to him. It was stated multiple times on DS9 that everything went fine when O'Brien was around to keep things going, but whenever he left the station things started to go wrong or malfunction, despite his genius engineering crew being around", and this too has been stated multiple times on the show, showing how important O'Brien was in the running of the station. The fact that he was offered the position as a professor of engineering.in Starfleet academy again shows his level of skill and the respect he had in Starfleet as a engineer.
Well considering the ships in that museum was the only cloak I think they had access to. The Defiant that had a cloak was destroyed at Chintoka when the Breen entered the war siding with the Dominion.
I love Shaw just completely getting star struck at meeting Geordi. :) That's his hero! And the look shared between Jean Luc and Seven. :D Not sorry that I officially love Jack and Sid. :D They are their fathers' children, for sure. LOL! Just the shared realization and tired sigh of "god dammit" from both Jean Luc and Geordi. THIS IS STAR TREK!!!,
I love that in this season, when Stewart raises his voice he sounds like the old Picard, strong and decisive. Not the whiny old man of the first two seasons.
Its a shame shaw was killed off at the end of the season. Yes, his character is an ahole, but his type are needed as well in any organisation. And i kinda like the fact that he is able to see the good in other ppl even if they don't see eye to eye on many things
Sydney: We're phasing in and out, its not installed correctly. I think we need to either oscillate the power resonators or adjust the reflective index. Jack: Oh is that all. -_- These two are getting along well.🤣
I wish I had this to binge out on in the next few days. Thank you for putting this video up. This series is a good blast from the past. Thank you so much!
2:30 - 2:52 Love the classic Trek's morality debate among away team members whether they should transport the newly found 'alien entity' even though it may endanger their own lives 😉
Great idea! Next season we can all watch these guys putter around the Starfleet Retirement Center babbling jiberish while drooling in their pudding. We are lucky we got to see this much of the TNG crew before we lose them like we lost most ofthe TOS crew. Let's not push our fortune further.
After this episode aired Terry Matalas tweeted to say that if he was asked to do another series he would call it Star Trek Legacy. And you can see how they are setting it up. TNG offspring, Voyager standout, a Wolf 359 survivor, even a possible security officer from earlier Picard and a DS9 baddie.
@@carriew5106 I have a feeling that next episode we will see another addition. There have been rumours for some time that Alexander Siddig is flirting with a comeback. Also the next guest of Ready Room is kept secret from Wil Wheaton due to spoiler reasons.
@@diekrassekresse852 Yep, I don't think they are done. And Janeway has been mentioned so many times I wouldn't even be surprised if she appeared at some point. I would love it if Colm Meaney appeared at some point in this season of Picard (and he obviously worked with Will Wheaton on TNG). For a possible Legacy show casting the Dax character is ripe for a reintroduction. I thought about Nog, but then remembered that Aron Eisenberg also sadly died a couple of years ago.
The Romulan Free State maintained the Treaty of Algeron in the Star Empire's stead following the Romulan supernova. As such, the terms of the Treaty allowed Starfleet to place Coppelius under its protection. By the 31st century, Vulcan reunification had been achieved, presumably nullifying the Treaty since it resulted in the Romulans joining the Federation.
I can just imagine the ship there, some Lieutenant going "SIR! There's a... ah... Starfleet ship... decloaking to starboard?" and the rest of the bridge having to take a beat and digest that. Little wonder they never fired a shot.
"Do you know how many treaties this violates?" One since the Romulan Star Empire no longer exists so this only violates the Khitomer accords and the Klingons should be fine with it considering their Chancellor is head of house that Worf belong to.
the Khitomer accords do not have a clause against using cloaks. The remnant of the Romulan state still acknowledges the Treaty of Algeron, so the Feds will still honor it. Picard wanted to borrow a cloaked vessel from them to spy on Spock on Romulus because the Enterprise D had no cloak of its own
Also even if it did violate Khitomer, which it don't, the Klingons would have likely given it a pass since it helps keep the OG Borg from becoming a galactic power again.
When it was said the band was getting back together. There was a few groans! Yea ok! But baby this group has been rocking it! Rock on and MAKE IT SO!🖖🏾

@@annoraxgames777 Temporal Internal Affairs yanked all future tech off Voyager and placed it under lock and key to prevent "damaging the timeline"
So Shaw a former engineer is nerding out on Laforge. Probably the only TNG crew that he likes.
Because Geordi wasn't responsible for the shenanigans Shaw listed off. He specifically blames Picard and Riker for that, but Geordi was the guy who made sure the ship survived it all and to do that you have to be legendary...
to him Riker and Picard made the rest of the crew do what they did. Geordi was an introverted nerd the entire run of TNG who had to hologram a girlfriend, so he didn't get much attention. The most infamous he would get is when he got mind controlled by the Romulans to try kill the Klingon governor.
LeVar Burton's acting at the end when he said "data" gave me old school chills of TNG.
Awesome!!!!
The moment Picard and Geordi realized just who was stealing the cloaking device made me crack up 😂
1:08 2 dads recognizing the shenanigans of their kids.
And they’re both so grounded. 🤣 This episode is fantastic!
Wait, what? They both got busy right after the events of Nemesis? Sorry, wasn't following the series. That revelation is a shocker. I remember in Generations, he wanted kids after his brother and nephew Rene died. Well, I guess he made sure to continue the Picard name.
There is something undeniably awesome and incredible about seeing a starfleet ship cloaking. It's like an upgrade long overdue finally coming true.
Why they stole the Klingon one and not the one that works with starfleet tech is interesting. They could have grabbed the one of the USS Defiant.
@@vismortis superior Klingon technology... obviously 😉
@@vismortis The Defiant cloaking device probably has DRM protection all over it. I'm pretty sure Klingons are all about open source tech.
@@raul_jocson_ considering the Defiant device was a loan from the Romulans, yeah I bet theres a few layers of Decidedly Romulan Mumbojumbo clogging up the works. The klingon cloaking device is probably much simpler by comparison.
@vismortis that defiant was destroyed when the Breen frist enter the Dominion war, along with the cloaking device, which was given by the Romulans. The present Defiant is the replacement.
This was an awesome episode. I’m really starting to like Captain Shaw too.
“Yeah, it’s been a weird week…” 😂😂😂
The music for this scene was amazing, and the way it starts to swell at 3:27 gives me chills.
I have to admit that I like Shawn’s sarcasm.
my favourite scene is the one before this when Sid confronts her father, reminding him who he really is "my crew is my family, you taught me that and I'm not afraid to step up and help them, you are" great writing even better acting
If you didn't tear up when Geordi gazed and whispered "Data", please dismiss yourself from the fanbase.
It always troubled me how they left Geordi by the wayside as far as exploring Data's human connections. Yes, Picard was somewhat of a mentor to Data, but Geordi was the closest thing to a best friend that Data had.
O arbiter of all fandom, gatekeeper of dramatis personae, bestow upon us your favor like a fart in the gentle breeze!
I am FOREVER GRATEFUL to Sir Stewart for doing this for us. I am so tickled, chilled, teared up, jumping out of my seat thrilled this happened. Live long and Prosper Trek Lovers!
" And you, stay away from my daughter."
Classic 😄
Up to now watching season 3 is like watching the original STNG series but with everything cool i've always wanted to see and happen, all the scenes and moments are all so well crafted and the Nostalgia is out the space window AND WE ARE FINALLY GETTING WAY MORE SPACE SHIP BATTLES, the Titan is getting the screen time it deserves. A pure delight for all Star Trek fans .
1:12 - 1:25 Too bad Riker is on an away vision. Otherwise he would've sat down with Jack and Sidney and said "let me tell you a story about my first assignment aboard the USS Pegasus!!" 🙄
Before that, he would just have a huge panic attack haha.
Most INCREDIBLE Picard Episode so far over 3 seasons.
This season just gets better and better. Welcome back the next Gen.
I can't help but wonder given the clear reverence Shaw holds for famed starfleet engineers like Laforge how he would be behave towards others famed starfleet engineers like Trip (Enterprise), Torres (Voyager), Miles O'Brian (Next Generation/DS9) and of course the great one himself Scotty (Star Trek Orginal) if he met them as well.
I refer to Scotty as the: Miracle Worker.
Best thing with LaForge in that regard is that he's met and worked with both O'Brian and Scotty. So Shaw's in the presence of that continuity.
Scotty left the Enterprise in a small shuttle to parts unknown, so it's unlikely Shaw would have met him. The others are well known but not especially standing out in Starfleet lore. Torres' biggest achievement as an engineer was building the Dreadnought, which was essentially a WMD meant to fight Cardassian and Federation ships trying to stop it. Miles was not an engineer per se on the Enterprise, where he was Transporter Chief. He had a great reputation for keeping DS9 in orbit and not tearing itself apart, but had a good Bajoran crew and the genius that is Rom (not sarcastic, Rom is an engineering whiz). His reputation was made by surviving the first Cardassian War and then rising to command council status on DS9, impressing even the Cardassian ladies.
@@SantomPh first this was a hypothetical meeting, which should be obvious given the fact I clearly stated at the start of the comment "I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER", I never said he would meet them or could
Torres was the chief of engineer of the only Starfleet ship ever to explore the Delta quadrant. And her achievements go far beyond that missile, she was promoted to chief engineer when Maquis and Voyager crews combined, over other star fleet officers who were original par of the ship's crew, which is a show of her level of skill as a engineer. Her skill and ability also proved vital during many missions for voyager and help the ship survive, just like Laforge when he was chief engineer of the Enterprise. Her part in the Voyager tale would have earned her a lot of respect among Starfleet.
Miles achievements on DS9 and Defiant would have more than earned him a high level of respect as a engineer given everything he did. Yes he had a good engineering crew but a large part of the station operations was also thanks to him. It was stated multiple times on DS9 that everything went fine when O'Brien was around to keep things going, but whenever he left the station things started to go wrong or malfunction, despite his genius engineering crew being around", and this too has been stated multiple times on the show, showing how important O'Brien was in the running of the station. The fact that he was offered the position as a professor of engineering.in Starfleet academy again shows his level of skill and the respect he had in Starfleet as a engineer.
That moment...
"...Jack."
"...Sidney."
🤣
@Jean m Well, they might go with Crusher-LaForge.
Not just any BoP, the HMS Bounty’s Cloak, the one with the Whales!
Well considering the ships in that museum was the only cloak I think they had access to. The Defiant that had a cloak was destroyed at Chintoka when the Breen entered the war siding with the Dominion.
I love Shaw just completely getting star struck at meeting Geordi. :) That's his hero! And the look shared between Jean Luc and Seven. :D
Not sorry that I officially love Jack and Sid. :D They are their fathers' children, for sure. LOL!
Just the shared realization and tired sigh of "god dammit" from both Jean Luc and Geordi.
THIS IS STAR TREK!!!,
YEEESSS.
Even if this is the end. If this is The. End.
Let it be Such an end.
1:52: Stargazer: WTF is happening behind me?
Enterprise-A: Dude, your cloak is malfunctioning
Titan-A: Yeah, its been a weird week...
better than when those schoolchildren disturbed the whale containment area and had to be beamed offboard with ten tons of water?
Bounty: *moan*
Worf and Raffi should have their own Star Trek/ undercover Miami Vice series
Bring back Tuvok to be their superior officer who keeps telling them they're loose cannons and they're off the case.
@@theevilascotcompany9255 Klingon versus Vulcan, that would be an interesting arguement
Agreed 👍
No wolf sure tuvok and jainway
Every time I watch this scene, when Geordi sees Data again I tear up. Excellent acting by Mr. Burton and excellent composing by Mr. Barton.
“Yeah, it’s been a weird week.”
Superior Klingon Technology ... nice!!
Love how you can briefly see the Enterprise a in a few shots.
I love how starstruck Shaw is when talking to Geordi. and Shaw's line, "It's been a weird week", is pure gold.
Amazing 😄😄 how Picard and LaForge figured out how it was there kids so quickly... Those kids are crazy good lol...💯💲❤️🔥...
Thank you Paramount for this season 3!!! It's everything I'd hoped it'd be!!!
This whole season makes me feel like a kiddo again watching TNG with a family I’ve lost one by one through the years. Thank you
I love that in this season, when Stewart raises his voice he sounds like the old Picard, strong and decisive. Not the whiny old man of the first two seasons.
well in season 1 he was forced to retire and literally dying of his brain disease.....
i could not have imagined how good this season would be
Picard: “I’ve broken soo many I’ve lost count “😂
I love that cloak effect !!
Me too my lord...
I never tire of the cloaking sound effect.
Its a shame shaw was killed off at the end of the season. Yes, his character is an ahole, but his type are needed as well in any organisation. And i kinda like the fact that he is able to see the good in other ppl even if they don't see eye to eye on many things
Sydney: We're phasing in and out, its not installed correctly. I think we need to either oscillate the power resonators or adjust the reflective index.
Jack: Oh is that all. -_-
These two are getting along well.🤣
press alt-Enter, basically
I wish I had this to binge out on in the next few days. Thank you for putting this video up. This series is a good blast from the past. Thank you so much!
"Yeah, it's been a weird week." LMAOOOOO
2:30 - 2:52 Love the classic Trek's morality debate among away team members whether they should transport the newly found 'alien entity' even though it may endanger their own lives 😉
3:20 - 3:52 Someone should have warned Riker that he is getting too old playing "Star Trek: Elite Force." Or laser tags. Oops, too late I guess 😉🙄
I'm loving this show so much. Why stop at season 3. Keep it going. Especially with all the people that are in it right now.
Short answer - Sir Patrick Stewart is getting too old
Great idea! Next season we can all watch these guys putter around the Starfleet Retirement Center babbling jiberish while drooling in their pudding. We are lucky we got to see this much of the TNG crew before we lose them like we lost most ofthe TOS crew. Let's not push our fortune further.
After this episode aired Terry Matalas tweeted to say that if he was asked to do another series he would call it Star Trek Legacy. And you can see how they are setting it up. TNG offspring, Voyager standout, a Wolf 359 survivor, even a possible security officer from earlier Picard and a DS9 baddie.
@@carriew5106 I have a feeling that next episode we will see another addition. There have been rumours for some time that Alexander Siddig is flirting with a comeback.
Also the next guest of Ready Room is kept secret from Wil Wheaton due to spoiler reasons.
@@diekrassekresse852 Yep, I don't think they are done. And Janeway has been mentioned so many times I wouldn't even be surprised if she appeared at some point.
I would love it if Colm Meaney appeared at some point in this season of Picard (and he obviously worked with Will Wheaton on TNG).
For a possible Legacy show casting the Dax character is ripe for a reintroduction. I thought about Nog, but then remembered that Aron Eisenberg also sadly died a couple of years ago.
The cloak sound is awesome
Why in the ever living f&$k couldn’t we have this in the first season!?! Oh wait Alex
This should have been season 1.. what a complete joke! And waste
"USS Enterprise-A" at the Top Right at 1:53 and she looks Beautiful.
We saw it already smh
First time we’ve seen her since Undiscovered Country in 1991! Wow😮
Updated with modern CGI raytracing lighting. :P
Obsessed with time index 2:57 that warp jump and immediate cloak! Love it
1:35 "Well I guess they'll have to add it to my tab." I swear you can almost see picard adjust willam shatners girdle when saying that line.
What a hell of a scene. Everything from the acting and mood to the graphics was excellent.
The Romulan Free State maintained the Treaty of Algeron in the Star Empire's stead following the Romulan supernova. As such, the terms of the Treaty allowed Starfleet to place Coppelius under its protection.
By the 31st century, Vulcan reunification had been achieved, presumably nullifying the Treaty since it resulted in the Romulans joining the Federation.
the treaty would still stand, only this time between the Vulcans reunited and the Federation.
They must've told Speleers to do that sexy thing with his voice where he trails off at the end of words.
When the cloak was messing up, and Geordi walked in and said " but I do ", I lost it. Perfect.
Was sad to see Riker get caught wanted to see the whole crew back together fighting
Don't worry - there's four more eps
There is still a scene where the entire TNG crew is sitting at the table from the trailers. It will come.
Seeing Space suddenly as the Bridge "disappears" would probably give me an heartattack xD
that was because Sidney and Jack wired the device wrongly, A cloak typically doesn't affect the bridge or internal passages in a ship.
Love how Riker isn’t even bothering with the stun setting.
As a dad with both sons and daughters, this scene really captured the stress and irritation that your kids can induce!
They installed that cloaking device so quickly you would have thought there was a port to jam it directly into
To be fair, Kirk did that as well
It was a jury-rig operation. Get the frequency right, and your invisible.
Get it wrong and you could teleport right into a planet's core
LaForge did crash her ship to be closer to her dad and learn from him ;)
Well, by this time, the cloaking device should be USB-C compatible, right? 😁
@@davidbethke5463 which means you'll have to rotate it three times to get it to fit.
It's amazing how Shaw grows on you. He's an asshole but means well.
I love that the cloak started going inside out lol
1:10 "Dammit, I KNEW we shouldn't have let those kids out of our sight!"
When the Titan-A comes out of warp by the station, they have the engine wind down sound from the Kelvin timeline. Love it!
Yes! I was going to comment this. Picked it up immediately, love the way they’re bridging multiple corners of the franchise.
Jack…Sydney 🤣😂🤣
So far, better than season two by incalculable sums!!
Definitely far far better than season 2
Picard: "Jack".😂
Geordi: "Sidney". 😂
I love how they came full circle
Oh yes. Classical Cloaking effect.
Federation battle cloak(32c) effect is good too but, this one is really good.
Star Trek TNG "The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree"
I can just imagine the ship there, some Lieutenant going "SIR! There's a... ah... Starfleet ship... decloaking to starboard?" and the rest of the bridge having to take a beat and digest that. Little wonder they never fired a shot.
After the fathers growl at each other they go, it's the kids isn't it. Rofl
The cloaking sound is a combo of the one from TNG and the one from the TOS movies. Blended seamlessly. Nicely done!
A cloaking device better sound like this in real life or I will be disappointed. I agree watching the titan cloak with the sound was perfect
@@Arfarf69 Sadly, we'll never live to see interstellar travel.
@@Arfarf69 either that or the wwwwWHHHM from LotR. Some indicator sound so you can tell you're cloaked.
"Do you know how many treaties this violates?" One since the Romulan Star Empire no longer exists so this only violates the Khitomer accords and the Klingons should be fine with it considering their Chancellor is head of house that Worf belong to.
the Khitomer accords do not have a clause against using cloaks. The remnant of the Romulan state still acknowledges the Treaty of Algeron, so the Feds will still honor it. Picard wanted to borrow a cloaked vessel from them to spy on Spock on Romulus because the Enterprise D had no cloak of its own
Also even if it did violate Khitomer, which it don't, the Klingons would have likely given it a pass since it helps keep the OG Borg from becoming a galactic power again.
When it was said the band was getting back together. There was a few groans! Yea ok! But baby this group has been rocking it! Rock on and MAKE IT SO!🖖🏾
oooooh, that angry look "You stole the God damn cloaking device from MY bird of prey?" Great acting.... Great..
