@@Goofy_Shorts1 I have to agree with you on that. As much as I loved Voyager, the writing, character development, and character display throughout the TNG series is too hard to top.
Ah yes, one of the best Barclay eps... as cool as it is to see Barclay a nervous wreck and still overcoming the odds... you sometimes want to see them reach their highest potential and win
@@sharpnova2 honestly, kinda agree. It’s not the the TNG cast is bad, it’s just that they don’t stand out as much as the TOS or DS9 crew to me. Worf had his moments but didn’t really get fleshed out till DS9. Troi had her job done by Guinan a good chunk of the time in big moments. Crusher was meh. Riker had moments as well but I feel they kind of forgot of to write Will Riker post Best of Both Worlds. He was so ambitious and fiery but became to safe. It’s exactly what J.P Hansen said. He looked like he was standing still. Geordi was alright. But I feel he had some weird episodes (Aquiel) and wasn’t that greatly written. Picard had some great episodes and great moments. So did Data. And Dwight Schultz is acting his heart out whenever he plays Barkley. I honestly wish he would have been Helmsman/Jr Engineer. Make him a bridge mainstay cause Wesley Crusher didn’t bring much and even though Ro has some interesting moments, they didn’t do enough with her.
For real!!! Beverly was moved to tears because of his acting choices. She was feeling Cerano in that moment, and it was surprisingly, and brilliantly, stirring.
oh yeah...she was ready for him. i loved how Dwight Shultz took the character of Barclay and made it his own....he totally outclassed and out acted all of the rest of the cast there. of course . they are all great actors but sometimes i felt their characters were a bit wooden or typecast as they were created as such. It is a good thing when you have an actor as good as Mr. Shultz showing us his true talent
They suffered because Roddenberry was on this dumb schtick where people in the future have overcome petty conflict. That made them all boring, and only later were writers able to swing things away from that.
@@NerdilyDone I disagree to an extent. In the early episodes of TNG, at least the way everyone describes it, Gene Roddenberry didn't seem to clarify the nature of conflict properly. An overwhelming majority associate conflict with negativity and so many writers ascribe negative traits to characters to artificially create drama. TNG excelled under the head writer Michael Piller because his own dealings with Roddenberry forced him to realize what Roddenberry really wanted was a new way of telling stories... to have conflict derived organically, which doesn't require petty conflict. Star Trek characters are the embodiment of people who have learned to resolve conflict constructively rather than destructively due to an introspective nature which humanity has cultivated in the 24th Century.
Yeah, I believe The A-Team’s Murdock was his first screen role in his early 30’s. Before all that he was a traveling actor for different stage gigs. Fun fact: one of his audition pieces for The A-Team was a spot on and hilarious Truman Capote impression.
I'm gonna get annihilated for this by the Star Wars fans, but Lt. Reginald Barclay >> R2D2. R2D2 had the advantage of having been designed to be able to do what he did. Barclay was born average, cared about it, and fought to make himself better, his whole life, saving countless lives in the process. I mean, I love R2D2, but Barclay is also one of the great characters of filmed science fiction, so ably played by Dwight Schultz. The major dramatic role that I will always remember him for is J. Robert Oppenheimer in "Fat Man and Little Boy", about the Manhattan Project to build the first atomic bomb during WWII, that also starred Paul Newman and a young John Cusack. The movie was maybe not the most successful film ever, but it was competently done, and Schultz leant a hell of a lot of edgy energy across from with Newman's corpulent General Leslie Groves. It wasn't until years later that I realized that the guy that played Oppenheimer was Murdoch from the A-Team, and Barclay from Star Trek. Underrated actor if you ask me.
I've tried to find the exact version and it's proving elusive, nor does it match the 1950 film adaptation with Miguel Ferrer as Cyrano. Truth be told, I find this particular phrasing ("And when you let fall your tears for him, some few will be for me") quite a bit better than the other versions I've found (typically: "You wear those sable mourning weeds for two, And mourn awhile for me, in mourning him." from the Thomas/Guillemard translation). The original French reads as: Je ne veux pas que vous pleuriez moins ce charmant, Ce bon, ce beau Christian ; mais je veux seulement Que lorsque le grand froid aura pris mes vertèbres, Vous donniez un sens double à ces voiles funèbres, Et que son deuil sur vous devienne un peu mon deuil. Which more-or-less translates to: I don't want you to cry less for this charming, This good, this handsome Christian; but I only want That when the great cold takes my bones, You give a double meaning to these funeral veils, And your mourning for him becomes some mourning for me. In fairness, the play is a LOT wordier than this carved-down mini-monologue done for the sake of television brevity and the benefit of Schultz's performance, and other characters in the original scene (Le Bret and Ragueneau) are omitted to leave it just to Barclay and Crusher.
@@bryanekers3472 agree, I actually prefer this version such that it's difficult to hear the originals. "Wordy" is fair characterization. In fact I think the writers should have written their own version of the entire play. Lol
Is there a specific version of Cyrano that they are reciting in this version? I love Barclays version and im trying to find a script with the same words
The original play is in French, so when translated, it gets altered. I've read one version where Act 4 was completely rewritten. Here, Schultz/Barclay adds "and handsome", which isn't in the original, and which I believe is an improvement on the line If it helps your locating, this is near the conclusion of Cyrano's death scene in Act 5.
plz aliens in UFO's watching us. don't let us die by WMD - look at how beautiful she is. many of you, are citizens of the Earth, as much as many (or more) than many of us. yes, you have been here that long. and for what? - to watch? we can almost handle Global Warming - but time is running short. just help inspire us - to better ourselves. our 'World-Leaders' lack wisdom, knowledge and courage....but, we have no choice in the matter. you do.

A genuinely stirring performance of Cyrano nested in a TNG episode, goddammit I want _this_ Star Trek back
I know, right? This is one of my favorite episodes. There will never be another show like it…even (maybe especially) within the Star Trek universe.
You and me both. It's a shame good writing and well-acted drama is unmarketable. Everything has to be a lesson in social justice.
Yeah bring back THIS Star Trek, with the candle rape ghosts and the frog psychics
@@Goofy_Shorts1 I have to agree with you on that. As much as I loved Voyager, the writing, character development, and character display throughout the TNG series is too hard to top.
Me too. 😢😢😢
Beverly Crusher goes years at a time without getting this aroused.
the next time she'd get that juicy would be from a fucking ghost.
bravo, reg.
@maxacorn. Literally a fucking ghost
Shultz deseves an emmy for that performance.
Always loved this episode, the way he totally seduced Beverly here. LOL
He very well could talk her into it I suspect.
Her weren’t the only thing got wet.
He moved her to tears! She was feeling Cerano, and it was beautifully acted.
well...it's not a haunted candle, but it will work.

Oh, behave yourself. 😂😂😂

Beverly looks stunning in this scene!
It’s funny how much barclay has in common with Picard when he has confidence
This is how you seduce an intelligent woman....
I've said it many times: if you wanna impress/seduce a woman with poetry, steal from Cyrano
See ya later Jean Luc, Bev wants a piece a dat Broccoli.
mfw it's the 21st century and there are people who still think the only response a woman can have to being emotionally moved is arousal.
For real!!! Beverly was moved to tears because of his acting choices. She was feeling Cerano in that moment, and it was surprisingly, and brilliantly, stirring.
The expression on Beverly face at the end says it all Barclay shluld have ask her out instead of troi.
oh yeah...she was ready for him.

He’s an amazing actor. The Voyager episodes with him and Robert Picardo - just great.

It’s like when you see someone finally break out of their shell and own it. Charisma is attractive.
When anyone doesn't understand why I have a crush on Barclay. I present exhibit A
Sploosh.
Does anyone know which translation he is quoting from? I'm guessing it's Rostand's play but I could be wrong because I can't find it.
It's not from any translation. It's pretty compressed.
She weeps, but not with her eyes.
Giggty
@@TheFlyingZulu I was wondering where you were.
Defitnitley sensing moisture.
You left out his "NAILED IT!" smile
Moved me to tears too honestly
Anyone else disappointed that Barclay wasnt in Picard Season 3?
Yeah, for real!!!
I want him back!!!
Inside each of us is a better version begging to come out
Serious chops.
Dwight Schultz did theatre for years before getting into Hollywood. Cool to see that side of him here.
Yeah, I believe The A-Team’s Murdock was his first screen role in his early 30’s. Before all that he was a traveling actor for different stage gigs.

Damn, this is such a good performance. To go from a nervous weird awkward wreck to this. Great acting.

Bravo Barclay!
It's the quiet ones that make most noise.
Fantastic!
Does anyone here know what translation and/or edition they used for Barclay's lines in this scene? It's not the edition on Project Gutenberg.
