Always liked this episode. It clearly shows how mankind will always mankind. How something as simple as words of wisdom, meant to help. Will eventually be used for power and corruption. Along with the arrogance of people closing their eyes to the possibilities of the unknown.

There was a Canadian Sci Fi series in the early 70s called. The Star Lost, great concept but the producers cut the budget to nothing, hired horrible writers. A huge ship with hundreds of biospheres escapes Earth to find a new planet. A few hundred years into the journey, an accident destroys the Ark's bridge, killed the entire command crew. The ship locked down, cutting off each biosphere. Ark had been drifting for hundreds of years, most of the people in the domes no longer knew it was a ship ruclips.net/video/ars0DCQijqU/видео.htmlsi=a_XrCUH-yyZ-Gt7u
Someone in ancient Egypt calculated the circumference of the Earth with surprising accuracy. That knowledge was present during the Roman Empire. And yet centuries later a good portion of Europe believed the Earth was flat. Even if there are attempts within the first few generations to keep knowledge alive, those people were adrift, waiting for outside help that may have never come. No wonder the knowledge that they are on board a spaceship was forgotten.
@@MiguelCaroline I probably would to bc something as big as that would be a hard thing to jostled everyone who's been living there know that this isn't a planet this is a ship and that there lives have been a lie technically
It's space, not the ocean. There is no "drifting," really if their heading was set and they were at full speed. They should still be able to reach their destination so long as they were headed exactly in the right direction, and something doesn't deflect them off course or slow them. The ship would otherwise maintain its speed due to inertia. Physics for the win!
The chances of arriving at the planet at the right point in it's orbit after this would be ridiculous, you'd reach the solar system eventually, but you'd never be able to get to the planet or land once you got there.
The quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson was so incredibly spot on. I doubt too many younger generation ever read Emerson, Whitman or Hawthorne in current public schools. It was required in the 1960’s. As an aside, this story was so very much Star Trek TOS than just about anything to come out of Paramount for a long time.
Imagine receiving a distress call, with the technology to instantaneously arrive at the traced last known coordinates to help, doing so, only to realize you're two centuries too late, and that whoever left the distress call has kept drifting away, never to be heard from again. Now imagine the distress call you got was a one time use, meaning you're the only and last person to have ever caught sight of their existence.
This bothers me because in this situation engines wouldn’t be super important. Hear me out; space has no resistance. Once you get up to speed there’s no point in using engines because nothing will slow you short of a gravity field or a rogue planet, and both should have been calculated for before launch. I mean I get it, steering is still important, but it’s not like it will affect your arrival time
That could be the problem though maybe they were ment to only be used to get up to speed and then shutdown. The ion storm could have slowed them or even stopped them and their engines were not ment to restart, because they should not have needed to restart the ones that got them up to speed. Though, I haven't seen the show yet.
Those malfunctioning engine would be quite important when they arrive at their destination and want to slow down so they can leave the ship and land on the planet. A rocket that can accelerate at just 1G - continuously - can reach a sizable percent of light speed in just a year. (better than 90%)
@@lazaruslazuli6130 yeah but by the time they get near their destination they can hail help from the easily space faring civilization. I get that it can be an issue, just seems in this situation it’s a solvable one
@@blakeetter280 In your underworked imagination.

After a little digging through the movie database I believe this is from Season 1, episode 4 which was titled If the Stars Should Appear. Liam Neeson's role in the show was uncredited.
The thing about sci-fi shows is they hop from planet to planet and star system to star system like it’s a drive to the local shops. They fail to convey the sheer vastness of space. Even Star Trek Voyager’s supposed 70 year journey was cracked in 7 years!
I mean, she did travel back in time and save them several decades of travel by taking a shortcut, simultaneously dealing a pretty strong blow to the Borg... but yeah, unless it's a specific plot point most space shows sort of forget about how incredibly vast and empty space really is.

Is that Seth Macfarlane? Creator of hit animated comedy TV series Family Guy and voice actor of Peter Griffin, Brian, Stewie Griffin, and Glen Quagmire in the hit animated comedy TV series Family Guy?
Why, why didn’t they have him say; this vessel was built by people with a particular set of skills. As such we can sustain life aboard this vessel for thousands of years if need be.
So the guy who trained Batman, Kenobi, found the chosen one who would bring balance to the force and rescue his daughter from the criminal underworld, also is on the ship to visit a distant world, and I have just been watching stuff on my phone
“If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it.”
It reminds me a bit of the scene in Wayne's World (the 2nd one I think), where Wayne is at a petrol station and talking to the old guy attendant, played by some bit-part actor, who proceeds to deliver a heart-felt monologue about relationships and love... he stops the old guy and says into the camera "surely we can do better than this?" The old guy is replaced by the film crew with Charlton Heston who delivers the same monologue - only it's 100 times more emotionally convincing! 😂😂
A bit surprising that a generation ship would not have the infrastructure to repair their drives. Even a few well placed atomic bombs near the spaceship should be able to correct the trajectory, indeed a Project Orion external nuclear pulse propulsion would be the logical non-FTL approach for such a generation ship with our current technology, and even the asteroid ship mentioned in Star Trek's TOS was said by Spock to have Orion propulsion tubes though that would assume partially enclosed nuclear explosions (note that the re-edited CGai enganced versions of TOS ofyen edit out Spock's comment on the Orion propulsion tubes). Even if they did not have the raw materials, if they had smaller ships woth them, they could scout amd harvest from interstellar comets, asteroids and rogue planets which we're already finding to be more common than we had expected especially with one such asteroid swinging through our solar system recently. Even if Uranium can't be found, Thorium to transmute into fissible Uranium 233 should be plentiful plus easily detected from a distance due to it's magnetic signature. I realize that the offcourse generation ship is a golden age of scifi trope but such a spaceship would also have enough infrastructure to even build another version of itself from rogue planets and or interstwllar comets and asteroids and have even been called organisms in their own right, ai believe the teem "spoam" was coined for them I was disappointed that they did not show a curved interior as would be in an O'Neill Cylinder but used the McGuffin of artificial gravity.
They could figure out how to get to another habitable planet and sustain themselves indefinitely but couldn’t prepare adequately for an ion storm - something they had to know was a possibility (they had a name for it!)?!?

Even if Uranium can't be found, Thorium to transmute into fissible Uranium 233 should be plentiful plus easily detected from a distance due to it's magnetic signature.
I realize that the offcourse generation ship is a golden age of scifi trope but such a spaceship would also have enough infrastructure to even build another version of itself from rogue planets and or interstwllar comets and asteroids and have even been called organisms in their own right, ai believe the teem "spoam" was coined for them
I was disappointed that they did not show a curved interior as would be in an O'Neill Cylinder but used the McGuffin of artificial gravity.

Liam Neeson is the white Morgan Freeman
Their spots remind me of the Krill from DS9
Space is wide and good friends are too few...
Liam Neeson is a damn legend.
Nice writing here. I love this episode.
And worst of all he's all out of Trix
Liam Neeson must be friends with Seth because he was in an episode of family guy too.
Imagine if they had a movie night later and they watched Taken. It probably would have been very surreal for them.
Man...that's a rough way to go. 😔
They could figure out how to get to another habitable planet and sustain themselves indefinitely but couldn’t prepare adequately for an ion storm - something they had to know was a possibility (they had a name for it!)?!?
