Since having sex outside your species is called "bestiality", that particular brand of sexual deviancy is apparently OK in the 24th century... because that green girl (among others) definitely is not human... just ask Kirk. And Spock is, at best, technically a mule. Or, at worst, owing to Vulcan superiority, closer to the offspring of a human and a gorilla (with Vulcans as the humans and humans as the gorillas).
I really enjoy how he takes a strange liking to data, and quickly begins treating him entirely normally. Doesn't get hung up on the "robot" thing at all, and just wants to party and play football with him. It's not curiosity about his nature as an android, but instead seems to be some kind of simple appreciation for Data's straight forward and 100% genuine way of relating with people.
This is similar to Earl Holloman's character on Forbidden Planet interacting with Robbie to get what he wants from a willing friend that doesn't judge his morals. Earl also wanted booze.
I have to agree. TV is dying. We watch shit on our schedule and binge shows rather than wait for one of those (OH MY GOD, I AM SO DATING MYSELF HERE) marathon/telethons.
I'm told there's some short stories that follow all three of these people. Stan actually does become a big hit singer and sparks a revival in country and folk music, and eventually becomes sort of a "Frank Sinatra" type entertainer during the Dominion War. He also kicks his addictions. Oppenhouse fittingly becomes the Federation Ambassador the the Ferengi Alliance, and the woman who's name I can't remember joins up with Temporal Affairs and becomes a counselor for other humans that suddenly find themselves in the 24th century. This includes the crew of the USS Bozeman from "Cause and Effect."
And I bet he’s glad he had the full body treatment. Not that discount head job where they freeze just the head, figuring they can attach it to a body in the future.
"That particular form of entertainment did not last much beyond the year 2040." You know, back in the day I might have called bs but now... I can see it. Even now below a certain age range basically no one watches network tv.
Put it this way lawyers, businessmen, and doctors date back to the stone age. Time doesn't make you smarter, experience makes you wiser though. Most of us would probably believe the earth is the center of the universe unless a few scientists worked out that it didn't. History doesn't repeat itself but it Rhymes.
He went toe to toe with the Ferengi as the Federation's ambassador to them and later became the Secretary of Commerce. I'd say his expertise was quite well used in the future.
That would've been a totally awesome series! Data and Stan seemed to have a good chemistry, they would've played off one another beautifully much like Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell did on QUANTUM LEAP! I would've watched every episode, it would've been a good TNG spinoff!
It´s a little terrifying how close we are to abbandon television as a form of entertainment (most of us use it only as media for other forms of entertainment, like netflix, youtuble, gaming, and so on) just like in this episode.
Marcelo Machado And I don’t see it as a good thing. Television used to be a commonality between people in a community or nation. Many of our values are actually built on things we saw on TV. Now that everyone is watching different things, it deepens the political divide.
Entertainment will still probably be around but the concept of Cable Television will probably will indeed become extinct by than as everything is all stream now, so all our entertainment will go directly online to the Computer.

Holodecks replaced TV, Movie Theaters and Video Games. Holodecks are the next step in Entertainment because you can create or do anything on a Holodeck.
I can imagine that though i bet thats what holodeck tech played a role in replacing television tech in its advancement in such years like the year 2040 and beyond such as the 23rd,24th and even the 25th century though in the 23rd century Holodeck tech was in its experimental beta phase during that century before it became standard in the 24th and 25th century years.
Exactly. Seeing a fictional utopia and then how people react to something unexpected was the charm :D. The more oddballs and unexpected situations coming up against it the better. It was that contrast that made the best characters or episodes. Buck rogers and various other shows had that same kind of dynamic going on. Today it doesn't exist in fiction much.
I can imagine Stan being right about him being a bigger star in that timeline on other worlds doing country and I'd want to see him drink some Klingon drinks and get plastered from time to time.
I love when he cancels that whole big order then just asks for a martini with two olives ( for the vitamins) and then winks. Makes me laugh everytime!!
@@terrathelunatic A pit wolfie is a race car reference, with the pit being the place where they do quick repairs on the race cars during a race. Wolfie refers to racing groupies that, in this case, hang at the pit to meet the drivers. So it basically means he wants to find youngish racing groupies and give them a memorable night. Of course, outside of this one reference, I never heard the expression before.
Stan is from Kentucky and is also a musician which means he likely had his own band or was a folk singer himself. He probably played in bars all over Kentucky or in Tennessee since Nashville was a hotspot for country and folk musicians.
Stan is a simple man who takes life as he finds it and tries to make the best of whatever situation he's in. Be more like Stan. Minus the substance abuse.

Turns out that Data may hay have been right about Television. They predict TV will phase out between 2030 and 2040. Those writers had gifted insight sometimes.
If you watch the first series closely, some of the male extras were wearing women's uniforms. Roddenberry sneaked transgender acceptance into the show in a time when being gay was barely legal.
Correct.. I live with 20 somethings.. traditional television they don't watch. Specific shows via netflix, HBO GO, etc.. yes. More online activities and social mingles than my parents generation. Surprisingly they're big into board games and playing musical instruments together. More like their great grandparents generation.. I shall not be sorry to see TV go the way of the buggy whip, it wasted lots of time.

Star Trek isekai episodes (or portal stories) allow for the writers to explore more of the universe/lore. Modern people don't normally spend time talking about internal combustion engines and fuel chemistry in their everyday lives, but something like this allows the writer to have someone ask about everyday items for the setting.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the season one episodes, mostly because they were still kind of coming up to speed on their character development and writing stories that were a little edgier. But this was one of the better episodes. I liked the concept of discovering people in cryosleep, but just plain ol' people rather than Khan's super soldiers. It was a bit like a first contact style episode, but between 24th century humans and earlier humans. But it also had the little gamesmanship between the Enterprise and a Romulan ship. Lots of interesting moving pieces in the story, all in all.
The only person in the galaxy who apparently prefers replicated sythahol to the real thing. Of course, his taste buds have been frozen for over 300 years, so.
It seemed like before season 3 the replicators served real alcohol. There was an episode during season 2 where a bunch of Irish farmers got drunk on replicated Klingon booze.
This is pretty good Stan the good ole boy in the 24th centruy Banned so hard from Social Media in our time He had to freeze himself to escape the persecution
I love and totally agree with some of the comments about wishing there had been continued stories in some sort of series with these characters. ALL of them were intriguing in their own way (for me, especially Stan). This got me thinking (while reading the comments) how my favorite of the feature films made of Star Trek series were the two that dealt with sort of similar scenarios, reversed: The Voyage Home when the original series characters go to San Francisco and deal with whales, etc. and the TNG movie "First Contact." Time travel stories are generally my favorite type of science fiction so this fits right in in a sense.
1:41 An in other scenes, they describe the artificial drinks as not very good compared to real liquor. But it would make sense that you have a "no drugs and no alcohol"-policy onboard of a starship.
Y'know... it MIGHT have been appropriate. Could you imagine being in space, bumping into an alien species, and inviting them over for music and booze? Yes, even the Romulans. Maybe we wouldn't be at odds with them for centuries.
Who wants to feel old? At the time of this episode, the oldest regular cast member, Patrick Stewart (Picard) was 47. The youngest cast member Wil Wheaton (W. Crusher) was 15. This July (2019) Will Wheaton will celebrate his 47th birthday.
I remember watching this the first time in college in 1987 and we sort of went “Why did they pick such an OLD MAN as a captain?” Our criticism was somewhat valid, Picard looked old. I was 19 then so 47 was old, but Picard looked 60 to me.
@@leonandrews7180 I was in high school myself. So, how's the "over 50" category there, old man? It's funny, when I look at those old episode, Picard doesn't look as old to me as he used to. To be fair, at the time my own parents were 43. My parents have always been old to me, even when they were in their 30's. I think "old" is like fusion. It's always 20 years older than we are. When I was 17 (in 1987) old was 37. Now I'm 49 old is 69.

I don't see TV, or at least web shows going anywhere after 2040. After so many decades it's still as popular as ever, and that's less than 20 years away.
TV not existing in the future is absurd. That's like saying books or videogames wouldn't exist in that future, which they definitely do in the Star Trek Universe.
Very few people I interact with still "watch TV". Yes, they may stream a video here and there but that's not the same thing. Streaming a video you are specifically choosing what you want to entertain you, not the other way around, which is how network TV always operated. It is already vastly different than in the era this series ran, where the typical family home was watching network TV. These days, it's about the household selecting choosing what form of media they want.
2:05 - Well now in November 2021, linear TV is dying, with hardly anyone watching the normal stations, all now watch online, streaming, on demand. By 2040 it would not surprise me if any form of TV would be dead and gone.
really wanted to have an extended episode on this. does anyone know if any of the books delve into the things raised in this episode more? they did a good job, but there was so much more that could've been discussed with all of this. for one, the wealthy guy might have enjoyed learning about the Ferengi.
b. free, the "wealthy guy" does get mentioned in a novel. He becomes an ambassador for the Federation. I don't remember the novel as I read it 20 years ago. The funny thing is that I do remember that when meeting Picard again he ordered a Coke or a Dr. Pepper or some other carbonated drink from the replicator. That stuck with me because he said he had to program it into the replicator. I assume it's because it has no nutritional value so a starship wouldn't replicate it and because the recipe was so old. Also, because it was "fizzing," the novel version of Picard thought it looked like it came from a chemistry experiment. I read somewhere else that he is mentioned in a second novel. I would imagine the character does rebuild a reputation for himself because that's the kind of man he is. But I don't think that, working for the Federation, he became "rich" again. His "wealth" would come from respect for his accomplishments, perks for being an ambassador, and self-improvement.
Yes, I found out that all three appear in a couple of different novels. The wealthy guy was ambassador to the Ferengi! Which I immediately thought of after watching the clip. Later he goes on to serve as Economic Secretary for the Federation or something like that. The woman goes on to serve as a counselor for time-shifted peoples. The musician, well, I couldn't find anything out there. There are two moments that were interesting in the show for me: where he asks for a copy of the WSJ, and the other guy asks to watch TV. And in both cases -- nope, we do not have those on the Enterprise.
@@USSMariner Like real alcohol it may be an artisan produced product where there are a handful of small bottlers on or near Terran space that make and ship soda pops galaxy wide as a kind of luxury product much as genuine Scotch is still made on Earth and shipped around. Some people will pay for the real thing either due to superior taste or because it is "bad" for them.

As they say, the only thing that never changes is change it's self, get ready, be ready, it's always coming...
It would have been interesting if they had followed up on all three of these characters.
I think I'll sign up for one of those Pit-woofies, my memories are fading and I need new ones!
I could watch an entire Star Trek series of this guy.
1:41 An in other scenes, they describe the artificial drinks as not very good compared to real liquor. But it would make sense that you have a "no drugs and no alcohol"-policy onboard of a starship.
Except for the Romulan Ale that Guinan keeps behind the bar for special occasions.
STERNO NEVER TASTED SO GOOD
I loved his character it was funny!
I gotta get me a couple of low mileage pit wolfies and help them build a memory!
I'm from the mid west and this sure don't make no kind of sense.
I reckon it has to do with hookers though.
@@StormsandSaugeye It does lmao
Gotta love the "mitchell" slide guitar. Lol
MITCHELL!
TV only has 19 years left!
This episode gave us a subtle hint of what was to come with the Borg.
Y'know... it MIGHT have been appropriate. Could you imagine being in space, bumping into an alien species, and inviting them over for music and booze? Yes, even the Romulans. Maybe we wouldn't be at odds with them for centuries.
I wanted him to say lordy lordy or gee willikas.
this guy is the best part of the entire season
No television beyond 2040. That's 20 years from now.
I SERIOUSLY doubt it.
Who wants to feel old? At the time of this episode, the oldest regular cast member, Patrick Stewart (Picard) was 47. The youngest cast member Wil Wheaton (W. Crusher) was 15.
This July (2019) Will Wheaton will celebrate his 47th birthday.
I remember watching this the first time in college in 1987 and we sort of went “Why did they pick such an OLD MAN as a captain?” Our criticism was somewhat valid, Picard looked old. I was 19 then so 47 was old, but Picard looked 60 to me.
@@leonandrews7180 I was in high school myself. So, how's the "over 50" category there, old man?
It's funny, when I look at those old episode, Picard doesn't look as old to me as he used to. To be fair, at the time my own parents were 43. My parents have always been old to me, even when they were in their 30's.
I think "old" is like fusion. It's always 20 years older than we are. When I was 17 (in 1987) old was 37. Now I'm 49 old is 69.
Shut up, Wesley..... er, Eric! lol....
I don't need to be reminded #&*@!!! how old I am....
@@xaenon Maybe not now, but how much longer before the senility sets in?
@@erictaylor5462 Senility? Bring it on! Not only will I have something for people to chalk up my 'antisocial' behavior to, but I won't be able to recognize or remember the shitstorm that is the modern world.
Senility? YEAH, baby! With a side order of Alzheimers and a pitcher of beer, please..... lol
Stan
The younglings have created a new definition of that word..
But for the record, I was there when it was written.
I don't see TV, or at least web shows going anywhere after 2040. After so many decades it's still as popular as ever, and that's less than 20 years away.
I wonder why he thought his drink was so good Scott didn't think his was fit to drink
His ex wives continues to stomp his will to live even in the next century.
Somebody should’ve showed Stan the holodeck.
There's no way Brent Spiner didn't crack up several times at 2:26.
Brent is from Houston, Texas originally. He's used to hearing people talk like that.
That food and drink replicator is the star of the show if you ask me
I would order so much crap lol
the twangy guitar music cues are so cheesy and ridiculous i love them
TV not existing in the future is absurd. That's like saying books or videogames wouldn't exist in that future, which they definitely do in the Star Trek Universe.
Very few people I interact with still "watch TV". Yes, they may stream a video here and there but that's not the same thing. Streaming a video you are specifically choosing what you want to entertain you, not the other way around, which is how network TV always operated. It is already vastly different than in the era this series ran, where the typical family home was watching network TV. These days, it's about the household selecting choosing what form of media they want.
It's funny how some humans get along better with an android than with other humans.
that little smirk data kind of gives when he says inviting the romulans 'would not be appropriate'
Stan was banned on *both sides* of the neutral zone.
This is before the concept of synthehol came to be.
2:05 - Well now in November 2021, linear TV is dying, with hardly anyone watching the normal stations, all now watch online, streaming, on demand. By 2040 it would not surprise me if any form of TV would be dead and gone.
really wanted to have an extended episode on this. does anyone know if any of the books delve into the things raised in this episode more? they did a good job, but there was so much more that could've been discussed with all of this. for one, the wealthy guy might have enjoyed learning about the Ferengi.
b. free, the "wealthy guy" does get mentioned in a novel. He becomes an ambassador for the Federation. I don't remember the novel as I read it 20 years ago. The funny thing is that I do remember that when meeting Picard again he ordered a Coke or a Dr. Pepper or some other carbonated drink from the replicator. That stuck with me because he said he had to program it into the replicator. I assume it's because it has no nutritional value so a starship wouldn't replicate it and because the recipe was so old. Also, because it was "fizzing," the novel version of Picard thought it looked like it came from a chemistry experiment.
I read somewhere else that he is mentioned in a second novel. I would imagine the character does rebuild a reputation for himself because that's the kind of man he is. But I don't think that, working for the Federation, he became "rich" again. His "wealth" would come from respect for his accomplishments, perks for being an ambassador, and self-improvement.
Yes, I found out that all three appear in a couple of different novels. The wealthy guy was ambassador to the Ferengi! Which I immediately thought of after watching the clip. Later he goes on to serve as Economic Secretary for the Federation or something like that. The woman goes on to serve as a counselor for time-shifted peoples. The musician, well, I couldn't find anything out there. There are two moments that were interesting in the show for me: where he asks for a copy of the WSJ, and the other guy asks to watch TV. And in both cases -- nope, we do not have those on the Enterprise.
Thank you. I didn't know anything about the woman or the musician.
@@ensignmjs7058 this is a funny thing since DS9 (specifically Quark) establishes that Root Beer is alive and well in the Federation.
@@USSMariner Like real alcohol it may be an artisan produced product where there are a handful of small bottlers on or near Terran space that make and ship soda pops galaxy wide as a kind of luxury product much as genuine Scotch is still made on Earth and shipped around. Some people will pay for the real thing either due to superior taste or because it is "bad" for them.
Stan, data, and riker in a band together, oh my!
I'm actually shocked TV lasts until 2040. My grandmother is the only person I know who still has one and she's 95
Well at least Stan didn't know about Khan's rule during 1990's and bell riot of 2024 and WW3 of 2050 and also the first contact 2060
Offenhaus was one of the investors in the cryogenic spacecraft Khan was shot into the sky with.
2:06 - "That particular form of entertainment did not last much beyond the year 2040" - Considering the low quality of current streaming shows, that is plausible.
Montgomery Scott might just spit that Martini out, with the two olives. Synthahol?
I don't know about you, but I'm rooting for this dude lmao
My favorite line of his.... "Low mileage pit woffies"
Did they ever find any on board was my question back in 1988...
@@FirstLastOne I guess it depends if they still have stock car racing.

This guy's great!
No TV? Well we do have RUclips.
The last graphic was great.
The line about the Braves makes me cackle every time.
I always wanted to see that steak and potatoes come out of there.
They gotta bring Stan back to the continuity if they do another post-TNG show/movie. Leon Rippy's performance was fantastic.
