I get that everyone is going to be frozen from shock for a second or two assessing the situation and figuring out how to react, but Data certainly should have been capable of attacking AND simultaneously calling for assistance with his android abilities, and literally NO ONE did anything else. Troi gets partial credit for calling for security. It should have been done by someone (ANYONE) about five seconds earlier, but in fairness, it wouldn't have mattered as they wouldn't have arrived in time.

      I get the sentiment but a phaser might be counterintuitive when the intruder is inches away from the warp core.

    Although some of the choreography is a bit of a mess, this had to be, by far, one of the most intense boarding actions in all of Star Trek.
    The Borg may be overwhelming, but they are slow and relatively predictable.
    These guys, however, are extremely fast, and could have very easily destroyed the ship had they stuck around long enough to defend the bomb to the very last second. Considering how fast that bomb blew up, they probably didn't have time to eject the core or separate.
    I think the only more intense one in my eyes was the boarding of DS9 by the Klingons.

  • @Yonkage-ik5qb
    @Yonkage-ik5qb 7 месяцев назад

    The weirdest part of this whole thing is where Geordi specified to beam the explosive device exactly 2km off the starboard nacelle. Like, sure he's a genius engineer; it's at least reasonable that, even in that few tense seconds, he was able to figure out what kind of explosive it was using, spitball the yield, and therefore knew how far away it had to be beamed away to be a safe distance. But why take that chance? Transporters can beam over thousands of kilometers, so why not just "max range" or like "1000 km" just in case you're wrong.
    I know, I know. It was so the thing could explode dramatically right off of the side of the Enterprise model. But that still doesn't excuse it in-universe.
