    In case you're wondering, the pass Barclay makes at Troi is:

    Troi: "Reg, as your former Counselor, I don't think that it would be appropriate"

      Even as a kid, I felt Barclay's "upgrade" was like the opposite of Lt. Uhura's memory wipe by the _Nomad_ probe (sadly, Miss Nichols suffers from dementia in real life). Both got 'retrained' by alien technology, only to re-educate or in his case re-adapt by their own brainpower. Reg's own genius assisted _Voyager_ , but I think Troi helped his confidence not to think he's "senile" after this episode.

    This is some of the best acting by Marina Sirtis and the scene is so well written. The way you can tell she's unsure if she should mention Barclay's pass at her. The way she shifts her eyes knowing she's about to reveal something that perhaps she should keep private so she's struggling internally a bit. And of course the way she smirks at Riker and says nothing when he asks if it worked ... Showing how women are always 2 levels above men in this department.

    Fusion reactors, should we ever succeed in creating one, would not fall into a chain reaction. Helium 3 would not cool the reaction, it would increase it. I'm nitpicking, I know. But it kills me the writers didn't come up with better reasons something is going to blow up.

      @@3Rayfire, probably. But it would not do any better a job of cooling a reactor, fusion or fission, than He4.
      He3 is considered to be the best fuel for a fusion reactor, because it is so ready to absorb an additional neutron, become He4 and release energy in the process. So my guess is the writers heard about He3, and decided it would sound all futuristic and techy to those who don't know any better. Yes, I loved STNG, but I did catch things like this all the time.

    • @donaldbadowski290
      @donaldbadowski290 2 года назад

      @@MrJustyoutubing , no, it's the writers. They pick out something that sounds all techy, which they don't really understand, counting on the audience to know even less. Case in point. Geordi is trapped on a planet with an injured Romulan. Because of magnetic storms all over the planet, the sensors on the Enterprise can't find him to beam him up. Wesley Crusher comes up with the brilliant idea of sending down a probe to the surface that is emitting a "tachyon" beam, which Geordi's visor should be able to pick up. Geordi walks to the probe and can then be picked up.
      Brilliant, except that tachyons don't exist. They were a hypothetical particle that a scientist imagined, to explore what the world would look like on the other side of the speed of light. In our world, nothing can travel faster than light, but there is nothing stopping a particle already travelling faster than light from existing. OK, cleaver. But we can't detect any such thing even if such a world does exist. The writes thru it in this episode because it sounds cool.

      @@donaldbadowski290 i get you, just putting out a possibility. Its equally likely youre right, if not more. Just thought theyd have at least base knowledge, like the difference between fusing and fission. Or maybe they did know and chose fusion because it requires tech we cant achieve in our time. I like the idea of using theoreticals and conjecture though, cause it does make you think at least for a second ig. Even if theyre talkin out their ass
