Would you consider getting rid of the beans and the good lord phrase at the beginning?
@@joemunch58 I'll probably change the intro at some point in the future but the beans are here to stay 🖖
I will unsubscribe and watch other channels on Star Trek. Thanks for letting me know.
@@joemunch58 No worries 🖖
I don't get it. What is it about beans people don't like and where are the beans? So far I enjoy watching your videos on Star Trek TNG.
As told before, if the Enterprise had another officer istead of Data, the whole crew were dead at the end of Season 1.
Considering it's a TV show they would have just saved the day in other ways.
Don't forget plot armor.
just ignore all those times Data went completely insane, or got temporarily reprogrammed or possessed by a transmission from a far away star system.
I'm sure Wesley would have picked up the slack. What a Gary Stu.
@@ILikeMyPrivacytbt
Wesley: "I'm telling you, captain! I think data's been possessed by an evil antivirus from the gamma quadrant!"
Picard: "Wes, how the fuck could you possibly-"
Beverly: "Jean-Luc! 😡"
Picard: "......🙄"
Anyone else get goosebumps when Data says "That is an order.." so matter-of-factly?
He raises his voice when giving the actual order to Worf, but lowers it for the following line, in a very plain and Data-like way, contrasting with the urgency of the situation - and it works brilliantly.
Remember that Data is the second officer - it goes Picard, Riker, then Data in the line of command. Data can order everyone but Riker and Picard around!
What got me was when the computer answered Data and said, " A receiving system designed to modify the elector-magnetic spectrum and carry those messages directly to the human brain. If any human being was around when the computer said that, the episode would've ended right then and there. LaForge would have been immediately arrested. But, Data just had to be thorough like an android.
Not me. Data knows what he is doing
Do it!
And what may be easy to overlook here is the weight of Majel Barrett's performance during this sequence. "The patterns are identical." She was just so good.
And you thought Patrick Stewart was great at emoting...
She is just great as the computer! She was the first Siri.
Had the pleasure of meeting this fine lady while she was shooting a movie in my town. She talked with us all night at a local bar/lounge.
Computer: The patterns are identical.
Data: *I* (looks at camera and claps hands) *DENTICAL*
@@davidrobertson2826
Marisa Tomei: "Hold my Tab."
Can we stop for a moment and appreciate Worf's mindfulness here?
The second officer is ordering him to arrest one of that officer's closest compatriots- who happens to be the chief engineer- COMPLETELY out of the blue.
And his response- a simple, soft "Sir?"- conveys absolutely everything it needs to- "Are you sure", "is this a joke", "did I just hear you correctly"- in roughly one second.
Data confirms, and Worf is off.
I miss TV shows where people actually acted like adults. Those were the good old days.
And imagine how Worf's fellow Klingons would feel about him taking orders from an android. Worf was always special.
And then, of course, Worf is completely powerless against two random Klingons.
Terrific acting from Michael Dorn in that one-word response, too.
Is this later than the time where Worf was questioning Data's orders? Because that's great for the character arc if it is
3:53 and onward - can we take a moment to appreciate the construction of this sequence? It's just Data talking calmly (as Data would) with the computer, figuring out the mystery, then walking into the hall and getting in touch with Worf, taking all the proper actions in the proper order. Nothing flashy at all. The power of the scene comes entirely from purposeful shots, Spiner's delivery, some well-placed music, and the viewer's knowledge that the stakes are colossal.
Yes, and with modern trek it would be people running around, screaming orders at each other and probably an explosion or two.

Actually, there is one bit I noticed. Maybe it's just inexperience on my end but Data's voice sounds more intense. It's still monotone but you can 'sense' a level of intensity. It's effectively the closest that Data gets to shouting.
@@peytonmac1131 Lensflares too, and a rookie female redshirt who saves the day because she's special.
Yes of course! I Support This!
The pacing, suspense, tension, angles.
We NEEED this back in Star Trek.

I miss it so much!
Viq Me too.
I've said it so many times. They just do not write stuff this good anymore.
hopefully there will be a third season of the orville....
New Trek isn't Trek.
Right? This scene accomplishes so much with so little in terms of VFX and CGI. Just great writing, subdued music that comes in when it needs to, excellently developed characters, and _real tension!_
All suspenseful acting between Data and the computer aside, nobody ever comments about how Picard is just carrying a conversation by himself in the cargo bay as he entertains a bunch of klingons.
It's because almost no one comments on the completely normal thing one see in day to day life... and is anything less expected of the most eloquent diplomat in the Federation? 😉
wonder if anyone has enhanced it to hear what he was saying
Know what you mean, it makes a great contrast between the normal (and unsuspecting) goings on with the crew, and the growing crisis that Data is uncovering.
Data: "Data to Lt Worf. Priority One!"
Worf: "Agreed! Whoever did this welding must die a coward's death!!"
You’d think that in the future on a Galaxy-class utility ladders wouldn’t be fabricated as skeletal is that. Proper handholds and larger rungs. There are folding ladders made better than that.
1:18 I love how this piece of information would be more than enough to intuitively put two and two together, but Data has to gather more evidence and eliminate any other possibility before he acts.
Data is basically Rainman, he can tell you how many toothpicks are in a jar, but is otherwise retarded.
If there is only 1 character that I could become, it would be the Lieutenant Commander.
If there is only 1 character that I could become, it would be the Lieutenant Commander.
@@BoopSnoot
No, no, none of that.
Data isn't looking for 'eliminating the impossible' like his erstwhile idol Sherlock Holmes; he's looking for something we would today call "probable cause." He's only looking to establish that it was 1• possible, 2• likely, that Geordi's shuttle trip wasn't uneventful. The shuttle _could have_ been under the influence of a tractor beam; the isolinear chips _could have_ been replicated by Romulans. Data doesn't keep sleuthing the mystery: He stops investigating and addresses the credible threat of a potential spy/saboteur/assassin on the ship then and there. He acts on speculation and conjecture, and like a canny detective ends up being right.
You know, "Computer, initiate a site-to-site transport and beam Lt Cmdr La Forge to the brig, authorization: Data theta-pi-seven-seven-three" would've been a far more efficient and cautious way of solving the problem when Geordi didn't respond.
Yeah but that is not good cinema. Unfortunately the technology is so advanced, it could just magic away all conflicts.
Imagine half a day of lock picking on DS9 reduced to them beaming to the other side of the door.
Doesn't work if he takes off his combadge and the crew knows that particular weakness of the computer's tracking system. Doing it the way he did means someone will actively stop Geordi rather than risk only his combadge being in the brig.
@@darthhauler9947 You beat me to it! Also, who would be better able to prevent being site-to-site transported than LaForge? He might have thought of that.
At this era in Next Gen site-to-site inside the ship was established as still being somewhat risky, as the ship's transporters were really designed to work outside of the ship, not inside of it. Taking a turbolift probably consumed something like 1/1000000th the energy after all, why would you want to? When they did a site-to-site it was usually from somewhere outside of the ship to somewhere else outside of the ship.
@@darthhauler9947 The problem with _that_ is the computer uses your commbadge to identify your location, otherwise you just show up a a lifesign. If Geordi had taken his off, when Data asked for his location, the computer would have identified his location as wherever his badge was, not the person. So Data's method would have been futile as well, had the badge been left behind.
Loved Picard's face when Data explains everything, and that only Kell and Picard were in all 3 transmission locations. Kell says "I formally request asylum" and Picard said "I will grant you asylum once you have been absolved of this crime." Burn!
I remember as a kid watching the first time "Oah you are so dead Ambassador "
@@robaitken4592 I didn't say it out loud, but my brother did.
Plot twist: We find out a reeeeally dark secret about Picard.... :-) I know, but it *would* have made for an interesting What If...
Chief O'Brien saves the Federation from war without even knowing it. He was so underrated on TNG. So glad he got a better story arc in DS9. Not by much, granted, but still better than just beaming people somewhere and listening to the bridge just in case they need him to transport someone somewhere when he was not even involved in the situation.
They should have given him an entire show.... beaming people, one after another after another, while talking to each transportee about recipes. Hot dogs, soups, cheese dishes, maybe even steak.
@@jan_phd and then they could show him in Ten Forward telling his friends about some of the awkward goodbyes he’s had to witness while manning the transporter.
Yup, if O'Brian didn't unwittingly distract Georgi with work then Data wouldn't have been able to conclude that it was Georgi all along in time to stop the assasination.
4:48
“Data to Lt. Warf, priority one. Take Geordi into custody.”
‘Sir?’
“You have your orders.”
Warf ponders. “Ug, he better not be taking over the ship again..”
Data said, "That is an order." not "You have your orders."
Data to Worf...I'm strolling in your direction...I'll be there in about 10 minutes...and yes, this is an emergency situation
@@Twister6424 At that pace on a ship as big as the the D? 10 minutes is being very generous. lol
Data: "I can hear you." (proceed to unfriend Worf.)
its Deta
Right about the time Geordi has fully recovered from this trauma, he is captured by Dr. Soran and the Duras sister and tortured some more. Poor guy never gets a break!
..Thinking about that, I look at Geordi's Visor, and am reminded why Furbies were considered a security risk. :-) They need better security on that thing.
@@VulpisFoxfire Yeah, definitely!
@@VulpisFoxfire hmm, also another reason he went to cloned implants...
I really felt bad for him also when Troi sent him to his death in her final exam for her command school.
>LaForge never catches a break
_Laughs/cries in O'Brien_
Worf: "Sir?"
Data: "That is an order." (Now, for a leisurely walk around the arboritum!).
There's a couple times on the show that I felt running was appropriate, but they never seem to get beyond fast-walking.
I could see if it was tight spaces, but the enterprise has large spacious hallways. I guess that's just how they are in the future. :^D
@@Nick-jb4xi Or call a transporter to beam directly to his location. I can't count the number of times site-to-site transport would have solved a time-crunch. I don't recall them doing that even once, probably to avoid that deus ex from being on everyone's mind every time the plot tried to use a time-crunch for dramatic effect. Then they'd have to get into that "we need to find an excuse why Data can't fix this in an instant" as they so often needed to do, only for the transporter. It would fix so many problems.
@@virt1one Not to mention, "Computer, Isolate Cmdr Geordi in a confinement field immediately." "Data to Worf, Geordi's eyepiece has been tampered with, he is a threat to the Klingons, please make sure he remains contained".
And... Scene.
@Nick-jb4xi I’ve heard the sets weren’t big enough for the actors to do sprinting scenes.
Another well done part of the scene is Levar Burton doing a great job of making all his actions seem slightly too robotic, which makes him seem sinister compared to normal without making it obvious as to why.
and when the camera switches to the fish-eye len - you know you;re in trouble!
La Forge: Uh Chief...I wasn't palming a type one phaser. I was...um...um...
Chief O'Brien: No need to make excuses, sir. I know what you were doing. Do it myself five or six times a day. These uniforms are murder are on the family jewels. Gotta do a packet shift.

@@tumbles8350 wear that shit proudly my dude, own your boner bro. It's OK to be a man.
@@tumbles8350 : The actor who played Icheb on Voyager spoke about the uniforms at the 20th reunion. He frequently was in scenes close to Seven of Nine, he had run off and pretend to go to the bathroom or get some food because he had to get rid of his boner.
@@hawkeye5955 True or not this comment is hilarious. 🤣
This episode shows Romulan sneakiness at its most lethal level.
This is so exquisitely stated.
You seriously can't trust them mfs.
"Worf, this is Data. You know, the guy who is always saving the day. Yeah, arrest my best friend. I'll explain later..."
Yes sir. Arresting your cat immediately!
Worf: "Checks out, you got it RoboFriend"
Data: *with irregular urgency* "Take Commander LaForge into custody immediately."
Worf: "... Sir... (?)"
Data: *sensing Worf's hesitation* "That is an order."
*chills*
It shows the advantages of data in a very direct way. Data knows what's going on now, he realizes it's to late to warn Geordi what's happening to him so he knows he has to have him arrested before he can act. He knows Worf is there and can easily over power La forge. However you can tell Worf is confused, these two are both friends to eachother and to him, so Data knows he has to make it an order so Worf will act fast.
The subtleties that Brent Spiner brings to the delivery of Data's lines never fail to impress me.
BatChest
irregular urgency is my life after hot wings
Data is third in command after all... so smarten up Worf
"Take Commander LaForge into custody, immediately."
Just what most of us would like to do when someone won't answer their cell phone.
4:51 Worf thought Data busted him coming back from his hidden stash of Prune juice...
Warriors Drink ™️
It’s interesting that they show how LaForge “sees”. Certainly better than being blind, but you wonder how he can do his job effectively when visual information is so skewed…
There was one episode, I forget which, where Geordi actually explains that. They hook his visor up to a screen and everyone is like WTF dude how do you see anything lol. And he's basically like, yeah it was a mess at first but my brain learned how to sift through the information and only see what I choose to. Pretty cool moment.
@@Supernautiloid Pretty much. He just sees differently at this point. He gets a lot more information than Mk.1 human eyes get, but he's learned to sort it. Same as we learn to interpret what we see into things/people when we're babies.
Honor and Glory
@@Supernautiloid To me that sounds like the same concept or the technique that nearly deaf people use to listen... They lip read, along with the muffled sounds of speech and their brain learns how to sort all of the information and put it all into coherent speech.
This is a great example of telling a story without spelling things out too explicitly.
Data could actually have spelled it out to Worf a bit more clearly.
And to the audience, most was clear from the start. Which severely detracted from the quality of the experience.
Although it also helped make the one plot twist even more twisty.
@@Dowlphin _Columbo_ storytelling, where the question for the audience isn't whodunit but how will this be solved, can it be prevented, etc. $:^ ]
Data: "Take commander Laforge into custody imediately"
Worf: "Sir?"
Data: "The commander has failed to consume his daily portion of beans!"
beans are life.
beans? sometimes im not sure if i dont spend enough time on line or i spend too much
Thank you tjwparso. This is my favorite five minutes and twenty-six seconds of all of TNG.
I wanted to write exactly the same.
I just love the way Data says "That is an Order" like a BOSS!
You know when they bring out the ultra wide angle lens, something sus is going on 😄
visually distorted. causes us to feel uncomfortable by just looking at it.
...and that's how Miles O'Brien averted disaster. "Commander, I hate to say this, but I, the transporter chief, am COMPLETELY flabbergasted by transporters!" The man's clearly working for Section 31.
Pretty sure what's actually being said is 'hey, mind helping double check my work here?'
I agree, someone has to be a member for each series. But the the main question being besides this one and Star Trek:Enterprise with Capt. Archer, Who were the 31s on the other series?
@@beauxr.benoit1374 Hmmm, not sure. I'd have to go with Nurse Chapel for TOS, I think Sec 31 might have flipped Garak for DS9, hence the spycraft games with Julian to get him ready for recruitment, Tuvok for Voyager...The Empress for Discovery, of course, and Boimler for Lower Decks. Did you see him handle that simulation?
O'Brien ask Geordi laforge weren't you the helmsman when you got on board the enterprise ? So you just like read a webpage on how warp drives work and they made you the chief engineer? OK same with me, can you come and explain Transporters to me, Helmsman Laforge? O'Brien says as he explains he went to community college and specialized in how to explain rocks shooting out of consoles when they explode, and now he's in charge of the magic transporter gizmo and needs help.
@@khorudan I haven't seen Discovery or Lower decks, I only have Internet. But thank you for the info, it does make sense.
Given the fact, that Geordi introduced Data to play Sherlock Holmes on the holodeck is s02e03 "Elementary, Dear Data", here Data can play out his mystery solving skills.
And Dr. Palaski would have eaten her words.
4:55
Data: TAKE COMMANDER LAFORGE INTO CUSTODY IMMEDIATELY
Worf: The only crew member without an alibi?
Data: YES
Worf: ....why?
Because I say so, Worf. And after you put him in the brig, you clean up your room.
It’s heartbreaking that well-told, well-acted stories like this have been purged from pop culture, especially from science fiction.
Yeah. Really didn't appreciate TNG as much as I should back in the day, as you got used to good writing and charcters behaving consistently and according to teh situation. I miss TNG, B5, Farscape. All the classics. NOw we have Discovery, and a ship full of teenage angst.
@@fuzzblightyear145 Is this a joke or just poor memory?
@@silentdrew7636 you're right. Might be the rose tinted spectacles of nostalgia. The star wars sequels were making me think that The Phantom Menace was actually rather good 😉
Watch the new Dune if you want a reminder
@@fuzzblightyear145 It's got its charms! It's like an opera. There's no acting talent on display - you're there for the music. And the dialogue's just so quotable.
Love the very minor displays of emotion Data shows by just moving his eyebrows.
What a coincidence! I just saw this one today. The suspense at the end when Data starts to put the pieces together is so intense and well done.
This unknowing assassin plot reminded me of the first Naked Gun movie.
"It's a topsy-turvy world, and maybe the problems of two people don't amount to a hill of beans. But this is our hill. And these are our beans."
Hey, it all comes back to beans!
I love how Data turns every stone during his investigation, something even Sherlock Holmes might not do.
I love Data's actions, too, but have you read Sherlock Holmes? The obsessive pacing at all hours to follow and identify every footstep lightly treading the mud? Turning every stone is something Mr. Holmes absolutely did do.
Worf reacts to Data on the comm link like, "Has that android malfunctioned again?"
Gonna have to give him that "second in command" lecture again
@@DanielWSonntag -- LOL!
Once again, we see why Chief O'Brien is the "Most Important Person in Starfleet History"!!!
Well, he did cockblock an assassination attempt long enough for Data to finish wrapping things up. So o Brien came in clutch lol
To be fair to Data walking there he didn't know Geordi was in an emergency situation. For all he knew he was just going to cargo bay 2 to get some beans.
4
No, he knew it was an emergency. Beans are kept in Cargo Bay 7
I just had some Black Beans...delicousness unmatched.
I'm just wondering whether Data knew that Worf would be conincidentally conveniently in that very same cargo bay.
At 1:27, Data should’ve immediately contacted security. Yes, he didn’t yet have evidence that Geordie was receiving signals. But he was obviously suspicious enough to then go inspect Geordie’s shuttle. Riker just finished explaining how urgent the situation was and how big the stakes were. But instead of calling Worf and alerting him to a potential security issue, he decided to do more investigating first. I get how television works. You have to build up the tension so the resolution to the story is more satisfying. But in this case, they made Data look incompetent. Just imagine if Geordie had already killed the governor while Data was walking down to the shuttle bay.
Completely agree. The moment that a connection was made to the visor, Geordi should've been detained.
Yup!!
But the writers needed a really cool scene...They could have had the climax immediately, then had a debrief with Data n Geordi later, but the Data hallway scene is epic!
I wouldn't say it makes Data look incompetent so much as it makes him look like anyone who would rather not presume the worst of a friend. He has a suspicion, but he doesn't want that suspension to be true and so search for evidence before acting.
It's actually one of his more "human" moments.
@@EmeralBookwise your argument makes no sense. If he doesn’t want to presume anything, he would’ve gone to Geordie directly. He didn’t. Because he was suspicious and didn’t want to alert Geordie. But that’s all the more reason to alert security.
@@BigNoseDog: yes, Data had suspicions which is why he doesn't confront Geordie directly and risk tipping him off, but as I also said, Data doesn't want those suspicions to be true and so he doesn't contact security without proof either.
Yes, Data ostensibly made a bad call, insofar as had it not been for O'Brian inadvertently distracting Geordie things would have turned out very poorly, but Data isn't infallible. He might not have human emotions, but just because he's a machine doesn't mean he only acts based on cold hard logic either.
Data even with his mind couldn't put the puzzle pieces together on his own, but using the tools he had available to him, he manages to crack the case.
2:15 Smart Red Shirt! Doesn’t talk to the Main Cast, doesn’t make eye contact. That’s how you survive on the Enterprise lol
Data was just mad that Geordi didn't answer his call.
EXCELLENT music, starting at 1:24, with that Timpani hit. so dramatic and unsettling and tense, just as it should be.
the music really cranks up the tension of these scenes ^^
and the beans song adds the flourish ^^
At the end, Data should've broke out the Sherlock Holmes hat and pipe.
God this scene is masterclass. From start to finish, everything is paced exactly as it needs to be, not to mention every character is at their best here.
Ryker matter of factly states the stakes and lets it be known what must be done, nothing can be left to chance. Simple, solid, to the point, and with gravitas underlying the direness of the situation.
Data meticulously breaking down each clue until he has his answers. And even after discovering that it was most likely Geordi because of the neural link, Data does not simply go confront him, as he doesn't have the whole picture. As Ryker said, "Who, what, where, when, and why". Where as others might have instinctively jumped the gun after uncovering this fact, Data completes the investigation on the transport, knowing more details must be determined. He knows Geordi is involved...but why? He needs the rest of the information to make the most efficient action. Once done, he knows the threat is imminent and contacts Worf, letting him know with a more stern then average voice to do what must be done. That simple "That is an order" may sound calm and simple, but coming from Data gives Worf everything he needs to know that Data isn't kidding around, this is IMPORTANT.
Worf, with a simple "Sir?" gives off the entire energy needed that would otherwise take several questions: "What do you mean, why Geordi, are you sure, do you mean now, what is happening?" But he doesn't have time, nor does he need it. Once Data gives him that solid confirmation, no other questions are needed. Worf is on the move, and he knows it matters, hence why he did not hesitate to take down those guards when they grabbed him. The situation is serious, and he knows it.
But boy, Geordi's depiction takes the cake. The center frame, slightly deformed view with the unnerving music, the stillness, occasional readjusting, the stiffness while not moving, the slightly faster pace while walking, ALL of it makes you unsettled by Geordi's presence and his current state of mind. You KNOW he's not right, and in this moment, he's dangerous.
Of course the ending is in the next clip, but the climax comes after the tension has been rising for this entire scene, we think Geordi is about to act once he enters the bay, but is delayed by O'Brian's interruption, but rather then be relieved, it only results in even higher tension once O'Brian walks away, as Geordi is even closer now, moving slower, almost stalking his target. Fast movement wouldn't do it here, that would ruin the tension. No, it has to be a hunt, which in a sense almost makes it seem as if Geordi is fighting against it, maybe deep down somehow we'll believe he'll win. Worf steps in, but is blocked, giving a split second of panic that our last second rescue isn't going to work out. Then of course, the ending, the tension is broken with a stunned silence.
Thankfully, Data steps in at just the right time to explain the entire situation, and even THEN it's not a forgone conclusion, surmising logically that even Cpt. Picard may be responsible, showing that even to the end, Data was covering every base, as an android would.
Fantastic scene, great episode, definitely one of my favorites. I just can't stop rewatching it, so much fun.
I just realized how difficult it would be to work on a ship where multiple people had to speak to the computer and have the computer speak back all in the same work environment.
Callcenter-ish.
Maybe that's why the Enterprise D is so big inside. ... So that sound waves can easily dissipate before annoying someone. 😏
Data: Mr Worf. Take Commander LaForge a plate of BEANS.
Worf: Sir??
Data: That is what he ORDERED.
Data: Mr Worf, Take Cmdr LaForge some Custard Creams.
Worf: Sir?
Data: That is an order
"I don't know, chief. Maybe if federation transporters are too complex for you, you should try different ones? Maybe Cardassian transporters on DS9, perhaps?"
Seeing as in order to get those Cardi transporters to work they just need a good kick, maybe that would work out for the good Chief.
You can poke fun at the chief all you want but it has already been stated in lore that miles already had more experience in the first episode of TNG than every single other member on the ship besides Picard. It was stated that had he been an enlisted officer he would have already been a Captain. I believe in this scene he just wanted Geordie to double check his findings as Geordie technically is his boss in these matters. Miles was the Transporter Chief, but Geordie was Chief Engineer and had final say over the work. Even if Miles knew the answers he still needed to go through the proper channels.
Data: Computer, speculate The Who, what, where, when and why of our current dilemma.
Computer: Geordi has become the Romulan’s bitch through signals received on his visor.
Data: Data to Lt. Worf. Take Geordi into custody. That is an order.
Roll credits.
Great sequence, with a fantastic score throughout. Lovely stuff.
Why does everyone always question Data's orders? In fact, isn't there an episode where Data dresses down Worf about exactly this issue? GRAB GEORDI, WORF! NOW!
Even the captain questioned data with hard looks when data firmly told Picard to drop the shields before that energy wave hit the enterprise
To be fair, he does tend to get those looks when he gives off-the-wall orders with zero explanation. He has been compromised a few times himself, after all. This order alone could make Woof wonder whether it's Data or Geordie that's been compromised.
@@taitano12 Woof? Are you Majel Barret in disguise? That's what L'waxana Troi called Worf.
@@DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3 🙄 damn autocorrect. 😆
In fairness to Worf, how many times has Data tried to take over the ship?
This is where Data was good, because it was almost like a Holmes mystery for him, and you KNEW he would doggedly solve it as only Data could haha!
I wonder just how many times did Data save everyone from certain death. That machine is awesome!
I always enjoy watching Data figure out mysteries
I love how Worf's shoulders slump, like he's going "aw shit, I have to arrest my commanding officer? My career is over!"
This was another episode where we can see, how advanced federation computers are. Even though they are not directly sentient (but can apparently create sentient holograms), they can do far more than just compute stuff fast. Recognizing a brain wave pattern in a signal or concluding that the micro deformations of the shuttle's hull are consistent with a tractor beam requires some form of creativity.
Google is trying to create the TNG computer.
All it did was compare the pattern to another pattern something data directly told it to?
Data: _Computer, please solve the currently ongoing mystery._
Computer: _Confirmed. The active mystery has been solved._
Data: _And another productive day concluded. What do we even need those meatbags for?_
Computer: _All active mysteries have been solved._
Mr Data is AMAZING, the crew KNOW that when Mr Data gives such an order he ALWAYS has good reason. Mr Data ALSO knows Jordy is not himself and is being influenced by someone or something
Love it when Data gets into his "nothing matters except saving the ship" mode.
also known as "I don't have time to explain, so I'm going to just give a weird order and demand that you follow through with it to save the ship, but really I had time to explain the whole time".
I love when Data gets serious.
Data: "Computer, do my homework for me"
5 and a half of the most tense minutes ever!
Man, you made me go watch this episode. I hope you are happy.
She's out of focus, but I think that's Jae at Worf's console. So score a Tracee sighting.
0:45 That waveform is actually correct. It shows both analog and digital.
Whenever they showed Geordi's POV, I always thought, "Is that really the best image the Visor could give him? It couldn't transmit full color?"
I think this is supposed to show that the visor is compromised?
So, actually, this has been discussed ALOT in the past. It is intended as an attempt to show what the VISOR shows, everything from infrared to ultraviolet, along with XRay, electromagnetic, and a few other particle emissions as the script needs. The VISOR itself is just a sensor, it doesn't filter out anything, so Geordi's visual cortex has to do all the filtering.
Interestingly, earlier in the episode, the romulan subcommander says that direct access to geordi's visual cortex means that he see's whatever is shown him. HOWEVER, his visual cortex would already be adept at filtering out extraneous or dangerous stimulus, given the visor's function.
@@Donnah1979 I think that is a more or less accurate representation of what the actor could see with the visor on, minus the color scheme, I presume.
@@Donnah1979
No not at all.
It was to show the technology was not fully effective on Geordi's condition.
You'd think in that century, the technologies around could do wonders like fix simple nerve damage and eye sight but his condition could only be improved so much by a technology meant to restore eyesight fully.
@@xBloodXGusherx Well, considering that in the movies, he *did* get replacement eyes...
This was a very good episode and Data was fantastic in it.
I love when data goes next level
The cinematography in this episode is top notch
Also, congrats on 25k. Always have my beans for a late night snack :)
1:18 EM spectrum such as LIGHT SPECTRUM = the human eye --> Geordi's visor.
this comment is not related to the video, but with beans.
this is a quick, easy recipe you can do if you love beans, you wont regret it.
all you need is:
a bit of sofrito(not goya, any other brand but goya). about a spoonful(not a tablespoon or teaspoon) will be more than enough)
a bit of olive oil.
boneless smoked ham(about 2/3 of the packet is plenty. the whole packet is a bti too much).
2 cans of your favourite varieties(yes, 2 varieties not 2 of the same) of beans. in my case that's red and black. but you do you. the two cans are one can of each. just to be super clear.
dice the ham.
put the sofrito and the oil in a medium pan. and mix them up with a wooden spoon on low heat. until they form almost a sauce and they are fragrant.
add the ham and raise the heat to medium/low.
once the ham becomes aromatic you add the beans, liquid and all, to the pan. if you like hot sauce this is the perfect moment to add some.
cook them until the beans are as soft as you like them.
this makes 4 generous servings and its quite delicious.
specially with white rice.
and as always....ENJOY!
Miles was the real hero here if you think about it.
Coming back to this again (LOL) the way Data addresses the computer feels eerily reminiscent of the way someone like me approaches and refines the results from my interrogating the current level of AI... Sort of a 'Super-Google'
The 'waveform' displayed looks like many musical wave forms you see as a dee jay. lol.
Lt. Andrew Dice Clay: "I got a unit you can tamper with RIGHT HERE! OH!!! Yeah, tamper with THIS unit! OH!!!"
Dr Elliot Reed: Not today Todd, Gawd
@@Blue84Stang Hickory Dickory Dock! Nurse Chapel got [REDACTED] by Spock! OH!!!
I love Worf’s response: Sir? (As if he’s saying what the hell are you talking about Data?)
Isn't it just amazing how tense a dialogue between the emotionless android and the ship's computer can be? Now that is acting and masterful use of subtlety. Ever heard of this [insert lensflares, loud music, several explosions, emo reactionary characters] JJ Abrams?
I hope you know thanks too you and your channel I am now watching the entirety of TNG from start to finish for the first time in my life.
The camerawork on this episode was great.
This is one of the best Star Trek episodes ever
It's bean incredible. 💙 T.E.N.
I love the intro and have subscribed.
Absolutely love this episode. My only complaint is when the computer all but says "Geordi's visor!" A little too easy.
About time time you made it to 25k. The bean boy becomes the bean man today but will bean man be able to make it to 27k I doubt it.
Once again Ty @tjwparsofor this content clip. Data's "ace boon".. (Ride or die besty) He'd do anything for him, including save him from ruining his decorated military career.. Geordi L.F. was saved a g a i n.. I'm taken a back.. Such very versatile characters. Damn good jobs writers.
I've always loved hand phasers. Such a perfect weapon- powerful and concealable!
Such great use of the fisheye lens to convey tension.
I don't understand why Worf would take Geordi into custody when Worf doesn't even take custody of his own child.
That's one hell of a burn.
Data: _Mr. Worf, take Mr. La Forge into custody._
Worf: _I KNEW it was him who ate my beans!_
"That is an order"
Discipline is so lax on the Enterprise that Worf didn't even think he was being serious.
Well...normally the orders make immediate sense, or come with a bit of explanation since it's usually good for people to know _why_ they're being told to do a thing, not just that "Person with higher rank is giving me an order, so I won't think about it and just do what I'm told." History has a lot of examples of how that can turn out badly, so Starfleet's doctrine allows for seeking an explanation under most circumstances. _And_ Data's been known to give orders that don't make immediate sense ("Drop the shields" in the episode "Hero Worship" for example), and the order in this case is to arrest someone who hasn't done anything (that Worf knows of) to justify that action. He was seeking a confirmation, which he got. What he _didn't_ get was an explanation, which itself told him something important--There's no _time_ to explain, so he has to do things quickly. You can see how that plays out in the next scene, when Picard narrowly prevents Geordi from assassinating one of the Klingons.
He thought he misheard. I guess he could have said the military's "how copy?" But l thought it was fine
@@BasicShapes That or ask " Did I hear you correctly, arrest LaForge? What is the charge?"..... But the simple "Sir?" I think was much more fitting the other options... I got to admit I did enjoy seeing Data use a more sharper tone to get the point across of "This is no joke, just do it." Then next line back to his normal tone as if the one prior was mimicking what he seen Picard do a few times with odd orders...
I hope you realize you're the one who got me watching this show currently on seaso 3 at the momemf
Data: "Computer. Expand search parameters to include to all known communication signals and protocols, file formats, encodings, encryption methods, languages, musical notations, servo frequencies, and observed natural phenomena."
Computer: "(musical chimes and chirps) instant results for your search parameters, displaying a clickable link."
Laforge: "Computer. Turn on the lights."
Computer: "(angry denial beeping) insufficient data, please specify desired illumination parameters."
Forgot how much I love that episode. Easily one episode that may get skipped over in appreciation. Not that it is the staple or a major turning point. I just think it was well put together.
When this episode was made, Data’s prompts with the ship’s computer foreshadowed today’s AI. Very cool
Just gonna say, love your intro!
Worf, take commander la forge into custody. I am engaging my briskest walk mode
Sir? That is an order.
One of the best lines ever
Data: "Take Commander LaForge into custody immediately."
Worf's thoughts: Holograms, alien shapeshifters, alternate realities, infectious brain altering diseases, Borg implants, transporter clones, time travel, mind control, the Q...
Worf: "Sir?" (what he meant was "What is it this time?!"
