- I've gone cross-eyed! Heaven's Gate! My word! Why let's just call this "Rich and Mike talk some more about TNG episodes they like" this has gone off the rails! Let's not continue to confuse ourselves. We should have thought this out more! Either way, Rich and Mike talk about more TNG episodes. Maybe they'll talk about more in the future?
One thing I can tell you as of right now, neither Rich or Mike have watched a minute of Star Trek Discovery season 3 so please stop asking. Mike and Rich have only watched the first episode of Lower Decks and then abruptly stopped, never to return to it.
Mike gets Romulan "phaser" wrong, Rich corrects him and they move on.
RIch gets Farpoint Station wrong, 3 minutes spent making fun of it.
@@Absolutely_Nobody And Mike is a sociopath. No one's surprised.
* sigh * and yet life goes on
This is an abusive relationship
Its always easy to tell who edits and it's usually mike when rich is made fun of. And jay does all the other ones
And everything in the universe is as it should be.
My favorite monster of the week was the barrel that destroyed Worf's spine.

Forget the top 10 theme, just make a series of you two discussing every single episode in chronological order. Do what's right.
Exactly ... Cinema is dead anyway
How ironic, that in 20 or so years we will talk about our favorite episodes from 7 seasons of RLM TNG TALK instead of whatever that current garbage... 🖖
This is the way
@@jimm2100 we have spoken
Screw it. Do the whole series by Stardate and force compliance from the non-trekkies.
That bit where they go 'some people say they don't care about Star Trek, but just love listening to us talk about it'. Here's me shovelling snacks into my mouth going "ohhh that's me! That's me they're talking about. Do more talk about the Star Trek".
That makes two of us. Though in the meantime I'm few episodes from finishing TNG, and I must say, it is much better than I expected. Not perfect by any means, but definitely worth a watch.
Womble and RLM is the crossover I didn't know I needed.
RLM is responsible for me binging all of TNG for the first time in my life.
Oi, it's my favourite Arma 3 streamer, Socialist Wombat!
Hiya Soviet. Fancy catching you here. o7 Nice to see you again sir.
"It's a fun, single episode."
"But it ruins everything."
Mike's analysis of the impact of Parallel Universes on character importance is the perfect description of Rick and Morty.
@@The_Tauri Just don't mess with space-squirrels.
They're both right and that's the beauty of it all haha.
It's a metaphor for this episode, when you spend a lot of time talking about all the things you hate about one of the episodes you think is the best.
I'm surprised neither Mike nor Rich understood the scene at the end of "Timescape", which isn't at all a Season 1 "Data doesn't understand metaphors" scene. It's a scene where Data, supposedly well along in his quest to become human, is seeking what's described by the human characters at the beginning, where a set span of time seems to expand or contract depending on what's experienced. Data understands the metaphor just fine. He's just disappointed he can't _feel_ it.
For those who don't know: They put the TNG people in a runabout as an excuse to build those sets and get it paid for by the TNG budget instead of the DS9 budget.
Really!? So they could take a bigger financial hit on TNG which they were in a better position to afford?
DS9 needed to build all their other sets.
@@LeonSKennedy7777 most of the sets for TNG were already built by that point; DS9 was a lot newer, so they still had to finish a few more things.
And yet they never used them? I am struggling to remember any episode of DS9 where they seriously used anything other than the bridge section of the runabouts. Defiant had four (bridge, engineering, meeting room / cafeteria, crappy bunk quarters) and Valiant (another point for that loser episode) gave us the captain's room!
@@eleSDSU What's odd is how similar some of those sets look to Voyager rooms.
I would buy a blue ray box set of Mike and Rich talking about every single Next Generation episode.
I wish they were still making commentary tracks, cuz that'd be perfect
I personally loved how the entire plot of every single Romulan episode of TNG is to trick or eventually trick the Federation into war, and then Sisko successfully managed to trick the Romulans into war and it took him a single episode
@@redeemer66666 Garak saved the alpha quadrant.
@@redeemer66666 I choose to give the Emissary the credit cause after finding out the truth, he could've called it in and chose not to
In The Pale Moonlight, not only my fav ep of DS9, but in my top 10 of all Star Trek.
IT'S A FAKE!!!!!
*"All it took was a Romulan senator, the lives of 4 people... and the self respect of one Starfleet Captain."*
Watching all of these talks has convinced me that Troi and Guinan should have been combined into one character called Guinan.
Lol Phantom Menace Plinket Review. Nice deepcut.
I’d only be onboard with that if Marina Sirtis played Guinan in black face. The show can’t afford to lose her huge Khazar milkers.
Whoopi Goldberg was a big star in the 1990s and I have absolutely no objection to her presence in The Next Generation, but to give Guinan all of the same qualities as Counsellor Troi was a major error of judgement and a cruel slight against Marina Sirtis.
I thought she was Greek?
I appreciate Rich's consideration for putting episodes on his first few lists that he believes would be good for new viewers who've never watched TNG. I happen to be one of those new viewers and now I'm hooked! Thank you guys for introducing TNG into a lot of people's lives. The show has given me a greater sense of imagination and optimism.
I can't think of any better pandemic-watching experience than TNG. I hope they never take it off US Netflix.
Wasn't the point of the final scene of Timescape not that Data didn't understand the proverbial nature of 'A watched pot never boils' but that time is something we experience subjectively? When he turns off his internal chronometer, he is no longer counting time pass in an objective manner. Then he is indeed surprised by the whistle. That is a more human experience of time. It's deep, dudes!
@@Medavelvan I bet you could find someone to model and 3D print you one.
Always loved the episode where Data, Riker and Worf were in a casino that was a place set in a dime store novel. It produced my favorite quote of Worf when they find a deceased man in one of the hotel rooms. Data states, "It appears he died in his sleep." Worf replies, "what a horrible way to die."
I lot of folks hate that episode, but I thought it was alot of fun.
They mentioned that.
I learned how to play craps from that episode.
Why are you repeating part of the earlier video
That's a personal favorite too! Not sure where it would rank, but on my most recent watch-through I jotted down episodes that I particularly enjoyed and that made the cut, so probably top 20-30 for me.
Hell yeah. Next do a “bottom 10”
More TNG content is always 🔥🔥🔥
honestly just have them recap every episode so watching TNG becomes obsolete
Top ten bottoms.
I would watch them just discuss every episode.
@@Xxx_EvilSmurf_xxX they'd get Jay in for that one
RED lol. “Rich and Mike watch all 156 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation”
Let it be known that the Prune Juice scene is a vital scene that influences Worf forever. Long live Prune Juice, Warriors Drink.
That's because it finally makes him regular. That's why Klingons are so pissed off all the time; they don't eat vegetables, so all that damn raw meat they eat has them constipated.
@@trekadam30 he loved it after a single taste. he probably didn't shit his pants instantly.
regular bowel movements were an added benefit of a great tasting treat.
possibly why he kept drinking it
@@PyrokineticFire1 Yup.
@@trekadam30 Tis widely known that "Qua'pla!" actually means "have a good crap!" in Klingon. A reference to a good solid splash.
Tamarians would say "Darmok. Finally after Bran Fibre."
I definitely forgot that that was the beginning of the time travel/ Enterprise C episode until they discussed it.
The one where Picard lives an entire life of an old man in a long extinct civilisation. I thought about that episode for a long time after watching it.
That moment when he grips the flute....😭
Same, sometimes night dreams could almost be like that EPIC
The Inner Light
And it's named after a Beatles song. "The Inner Light". One of my favorites.
"And now we live in you. Tell them of us, my darling." The ending minutes of that episode brings me to tears every time. Around 7-8 minutes I will never forget as long as I live.
Can't hear Picard deliver the "unbroken sentence" line without hearing the Pogo remix now
Dark Materia Picard Song for the win.
Was gonna leave the same comment. What an infectiously fun song
@@dank.sinatra Great music video too... so impressed by what he did in post (changing the uniform's color, match Data's eye effects, etc.)
I feel like he should've said "incredibly long, unbroken sentence" instead of "long, incredibly unbroken sentence". A sentence is either broken or unbroken, there's no "incredibly" about it.
@@gregbauer4433 You know I'd argue a sentence could have an incredible nature to its unbrokeness, especially defining incredible similar to preposterous, like, the story Picard tells about the unbrokeness of the sentences is almost too neat to be believed as true, though only as a proverbial description, of course. :p
Next episode should be: "Guilty Pleasure Episodes"
Episode after that should be: "The ones we are supposed to pick as top 10" (Just to finally get the Inner Light done)
One after that should be: "Funniest Episiodes"
Then "Worst TNG episodes"
Then "10 more episodes we like"
Then "Best Data episodes"
Then...
Basically just keep doing this forever
But everybody knows why Inner Light is good. It's at the top of loads of lists and talked about. Fuck sake I even learnt to play the song from it on a real whistle 😂
"Best holodeck/time-travel/period setting episodes"!
The 'worst' list will just end up being most of season 2. 😆
@@Zahgurym memory fades but no1 worst episode would be the one with the electric whips
@@pj4433 lol, the title could have been "Meet the Ferengi"... definitely a cringe worthy episode.
Picard: “Suggestions”
Worf: “Recommend a full spread of photon torpedoes” everytime lol
That's so true, that was his go to, you could just imagine him on DS9 with Dax
Dax: "Dammit this draw is stuck"
Worf: "Photon torpedoes full spread!!"
Star Trek: Picard never really happens - Jean Luc has Irumodic Syndrome.
Worf Plan A: Do you want me to shoot them with Torpedoes?
Plan B: MOAR Torpedoes?
Plan C: ALL THE TORPEDOES!
Honestly Picard had toned him down,as on DS9 Worf was questioning Sisco, as Sisco was attack 1st during the klingon/then dominion war.
@@petewillson205 he stabbed his brother in the heart because he asked him to and destroyed a load of Jem’hadar warriors in hand to hand combat in that dominion prison. I think Worf is mentally unstable.
This series should be called Mike ruins TNG by Pointing Out Every Set Mistake only Noticeable in HD
I think that should be a seperate series!
@@jerome1lmyour wish is fulfilled
Rich seems horrified that Mike is trashing the "Darmok" mask. He's not the only one! 😩
It can actually never lose value since it's one of a kind.
Augustus Saint Clouding your childhood memories.
Mike and Rich at TNG with masks flying.
Evans and Stoklasa, the mask hurled!
@@robertbogan225 It will only rise in value.
Rich: "This is my, I don't know, sixth? Pick."
Mike: "Doesn't matter [we're gonna do 17 of these top tens]."
I sure hope so.
It's interesting how "MacDuff's" conversation with Picard in "Conundrum" seems to be the character using the same justifications he might use to quiet his own doubts about his mission (hijacking and brainwashing a superior force to attack an enemy that's effectively defenseless in comparison). Like, you can imagine whoever "MacDuff" is in his day-to-day life telling himself the same story in the mirror, about saving lives by ending the war quickly.
I'm really suprised and shocked more people haven't been reviewing this show.
I mean, Seth McFarlane and lots of famous people loved this show, Star Trek is comicly known for having a passionate fanbase and lots of other garbage movies and shows get reviewed, but I guess since it's an older show, it wouldn't trend on RUclips or something?
"Thank you for joining Mike and I, as we talk about the last 18 episodes that we've avoided forever, in the 17th installment of this series. This is the 'Gaaaaaawd, WHO CARES' episode. We will celebrate it all by setting fire to Darmok's head, and as you can see Mike has already started to drink the kerosene entirely, so....this episode might not last long (depending on how much oxygen is left in the studio at this point)...."
@@rfrolicarts ditto actually.
Regarding Mikes viewpoint for "Parallels" I'd argue that the episode did a good job of showing just how much their choices matter. While there might be "7000" others, there was very clear differences between the universes. Just like how Riker had a clone who went on to become a Maquis, each "RIker" is there own person.
I guess what I'm really trying to say is, if it wasn't for Parallels, we wouldn't have concrete evidence that "Star Trek: Picard" is in an alternate universe.
Mike was off base when he said "Parallels" made it meaningless when dead characters could be replaced with parallel universe duplicates, that would still mean that the duplicate's universe was missing their version of the character. Besides, only Voyager was stupid enough to do it with Harry Kim.
Parallel universes isn't the problem, it's when EVERY possibility gets its own timeline that makes characters' choices seem pointless. Owlman had a good monologue about it in that Justice League movie.
"their" own person. Not "there"
@@tartrazine5 The characters' choices matter to the versions of the characters that made them. Just like your choices matter to you. If there are countless versions of you with other choices in other universes... that doesn't actually change anything for _your_ life.
"You're not gonna see boom shadows in Star Trek Discovery"
"You're no gonna see quality entertainment either"
The first or second episode in discovery they must have have shot the scene from the wrong angle. Because the shot of captain georgiou on the bridge is reversed. The delta badge is on her right side.
@@csciabar Hahaha. That would make sense. I never noticed.... probably because I was too busy vomiting in disgust at how crap the show was....
For the original broadcast, there was a thing that was called “safe action” and “safe title” areas. The boom issue you cited would not have been seen by the audience.
Mike - You're not going to see 'boom shadows 'in Start Trek Discovery.
Rich - You're not going to see quality entertainment.
Awesome :)
Finally, the video to bring a fractured nation together.
A little something to help mellow out election eve.
No.
Goddamn it dude stop watching everything I do I literally just saw you on a Korone clip
Hope your doing good justin
@@Kurdtzdopelgangr yay Korone/RLM fan connections
I still come back to watch these TNG RLM episodes years later, they are very comforting
So comforting!!!!
This is officially what Denise Crosby felt about her role in the show:
"I was struggling with not being able to do much with the character. I had all these ideas and couldn't do them. I was just stage dressing." Ultimately, Crosby decided to leave the show. Her character was killed by the alien creature Armus during the episode "Skin of Evil."
She had far more to do than Crusher or Troi, especially Troi, who only appears in about half the episodes of season one.
Damn, that kinda surprises me considering I always saw Tasha as a very bland character.
If she was trying to give some flavor to her and the executives told her no, I can see why she was mad at the final efforts and legacy of what became of that character.
I always thought this was kinda a weird decision. It was still the first season, they had a whole bunch of stuff they had to establish. I would have gave it at least one more but I wasn't there so what do I know?
Data slept with her! Lol
@@MissMillsonxx She left during the first season? I don't know anything about Star Trek. But of course in the first season they're not going to give the actors much wiggle room with characters.
"I've never trusted Romulans, and I never will. I can never forgive them for the death of my parents."
They are _dying._
Yep, I was thinking this very thing as they mentioned Worf’s racism lol
That's... arrogant presumption

@@jstr4life 🤨
You guys remember when Guinan meets Q and she does these tiger style kung fu hands? And Q calls her a dangerous creature? That was pretty great.
I remember her stabbing his hand with a fork
@@seeingeyegod That's later when he turned human. This was when they first met after "some dealings" 200 years prior.
@@urdnal I think he calls her a dangerous creature again when she stabs his hand.
I thought she way about to shoot Force Lightning when I saw that for the first time.
I was expecting Picard to be surprised but when you realize that he was aware that Guinan was not human it made it awesome. I don't remember if it came up before, but that's when I found out that Guinan wasn't just a random bartender.
One of the best things about Yesterday's Enterprise is the fact Worf isn't in it. He doesn't coincidentally show up commanding one of the Klingon ships to attack the Enterprise. The Mirror Universe, and other things like Stargate, lean on that trope incredibly heavily, so it was nice to see they restrained themselves.
If I remember correctly they specifically didn't include a Worf cameo in the alternate timeline as commander of the klingons or something similair is because they knew the Audience would more likely be amused by the cameo than stricken by the Irony of the crew getting killed by their would-be friend.
True. And then Deep Space Nine, usually more capable of restraint as a show, drove that one straight into the ground.
@@Dorian-_-Gray Yeah, I think Mirror Vic was the one that broke suspension of disbelief the most.
@@Dorian-_-Gray I think it was fun seeing Garak groveling on a chain, and it makes the restrained moment stand out more. Evil, bisexual Kira? All day man

"If you need me, I'll be in holodeck 4" is the original "I'll be in my bunk."
But Riker has his own quarters with Jazz Trumpet and all. There is only one reason you go to the Holodeck. Lets face it.
@@kleinerprinz99 I think it's a Firefly reference. Maybe some other show too, but Firefly definitely.

When the Wheel Fell
Worf has every reason to be bitter towards the Romulans. His backstory is one of the most tragic in all of Trek.
His family was massacred by Romulans as a kid, then his father got wrongfully convicted of causing the incident making Worf a pariah to his own people.
He had everything stolen from him but he always keeps moving forward, even earning back the respect of his people through his actions.
Most respectable character in Trek imo.
Worf is still a bitch that keeps getting slapped around and losing every fight that matters
Yes, you're repeating what they said in the video very well in a comment on the video

Discovery has 2 months to film an episode. If only they spent more than 2 minutes writing the script.
If those writers could read, they would be offended by your comment.
@@john_squatson Writers who can't read? I always knew they were very "special" people but THAT special? Damn 😁
@@Craplatte pfft, they are WRITERS, not READERS. They aren't paid to read, you know.
Clearly, spending time on script writing would take away from all of the valuable time they are using insulting people on social media and blowing smoke up their own asses in interviews.
The more I watch TNG, the more I realize how "Picard" is an abomination.
I love how in true Trekkie fashion, they keep one-upping each other with nerdy corrections over minor details.
Mikes hate for Parallels is unparalleled.
Just for the bearded Riker it's a total classic.
What's especially weird about it in retrospect, considering Mike's specific complaint about the multiple reality conceit deflating stakes, is that RLM apparently likes Rick and Morty enough to have both appeared in High On Life and had Justin Roiland cameo in a video just before his career imploded.
I wonder if Mike's opinion about Parallels has changed at all, assuming R&M has successfully demonstrated to him that those stakes can indeed be maintained within that premise.
@fakennamel7044You know that Many Worlds/multiverse theory is a real thing in physics? Does the possible existence of other versions of you in reality make _your own_ death seem meaningless to you?
@@TerrenceNowickiAlso, Mike says it takes the juice out of Yesterday's Enterprise. Which is ironic, because Yesterday's Enterprise takes the juice out of Skin ov evil.
“Monster of the week beats up Wesley”. That would’ve been awesome.
that genuine laugh :-)
One did stab Wesley to death in "Hide and Q". And Riker got way too upset.
Thank you so much for this🖖. I don't have a lot of friends and I don't have anyone to talk to about Star Trek. Thank you so much. This episodes mean alot to me. I've watched this episode 5 times already along with the other ones. You really help alleviate the loneliness 🖖

Adam Nimoy is married to Terry Farrell who played Jadzia on DS9 so he is officially winning at life.
Isn't Terry Farrell the one winning at life,. considering she IS Terry Farrell?
I really could just watch you guys talk about every single STNG episode. Like I was just having a shitty day and I saw that there was another video of this and my mood went up like a dopamine hit from "The Game".
Did you make an O face too?
This is the quality content we need in these trying times.
Also, how dare you hate Parallels when that gave us crazy ranting Riker in an exploding ship!
I wouldn't want to go back to an assimilated Federation, either.
That's the good stuff. With frantic Worf in the background trying to duct tape the ship together? So dope.
Minuet? A total fabrication. Our team created that.
What about the one with the gay men talking about star trek? You guessed it, that ones true.
And what about the one where I have a hobo beard and I'm from a future where the Borg took over? It's real.
LOLLL
I always thought that when Riker went back to the hollodeck after they revived the binar, that minuet was replace instead Q in drag.
Never happened.
Of Tasha Yar's death
Mike: "It's realistic."
RIP to all those victims of tar monsters.
Realistic in terms of Star Trek.
These things are on a gradient scale.
It’s realistic in that people die in stupid ways. It isn’t always an epic self sacrifice.
Her death was such a shocker to me as a kid, that a main character could die, and like that...man it made stakes real for me. Like for seasons I thought they could always kill another main character.
And then when she comes back randomly it hits so hard
Mike and Rich could literally make a million of these, and I would eat it up and be as excited every single time.
Make it so.
It is so
Is that from Star Trek Picard?

I love that they'll never do this horrible degenerate idea
"The Kes | Seven of Nine Bullsh*t"
"The producers wanted to introduce a new character (Seven of Nine) but they needed to make room in the budget for her. They were going to kill off Ensign Kim due to issues with Garret Wang, so they made him sick at the end of season 3 and were going to kill him at the beginning of season 4. However over the summer break, Garret Wang was put on Peoples list of 50 Most Beautiful People in the World, so the producers decided they needed to keep him now, so they had to choose someone else to ax. Unfortunately they chose Jennifer Lien (Kes)."
"Sorry, you're gonna lose your job because this trash magazine thinks that this other dude has a pretty face." Spoken in true Star Trek spirit, I bet Roddenberry was first in line to accept this decision. =D
Aaaaaand they needed to sex up that show, let's face it, Star trek was kinda sexist in the 90s...
Unfortunately? The show was massively improved by removing Kes
Kes was so cute too 😔

My favorite "they'll never notice on TV" moment was from The Ensigns of Command when they pull up the Sheliak treaty and a lot of it is gibberish and anime references. It actually starts off well but whoever produced the filler text got tired of it about a paragraph in.
wait forreal?? you got a screencap of that 'cause i'd love to see
@@cerberusmutt4252 from Memory Alpha:
"The text of the treaty as it appears on-screen is only clearly visible within the high-definition and Blu-ray releases. The text as displayed on-screen in many cases does not appear to be the text of the treaty itself, but instead background information or gags such as "You might think that this is incredibly clever stuff. Boy are you wrong." and "Rick is initially getting a Kei and Yuri reference into the text. You know, the two cute girls with the big guns. We might also mention Akira, Ranma Nibunnoichi, Urusei Yatsura, Rhea Call Force and a few other animated films. The Federation at this point seems more tangled up in paperwork than the Iran-Contra scandal business. We can do search-and-replace. Come to think about it, that's what the Shellac [sic] want do with the colony on the planet." "

Rich Evans' laugh brings me so much joy for real.
Watching Jack lemmon and Walter Matthau talk TNG made my day
"The sky is the limit." What great words to close out the TNG series.
Then, they show the Enterprise fly towards "the second star on the right & straight on 'til morning."
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!
I love you guys. Rewatching all your TNG episode reviews in the middle of yet another apocalypse... I wish we would be heading into such a wholesome future as TNG portrayed it.
Rich completely nailed it on the head when he talked about not mentioning "Yesterday's Enterprise" in their previous episode....After those two episodes I watched all 7 seasons of TNG and I gotta say, I'm gonna laugh a lot more when Mike references an episode in the future....it really is an amazing show
52:40 The idea that people in 10-Forward often get the first and clearest vantage point of a suddenly appearing anomaly or de-cloaking hostile ship is kind of amusing to me. You would expect to see the carpets and walls covered in synthehol from spit-takes and dropped glasses, especially from the less seasoned crew and civilians aboard.
Borg cube appears: "check, please"
LOL!!!!!
I loved that episode when Riker is running around screaming like a crazy person trying to find his crew
and also that time when the Enterprise transforms into an alien Mayan Temple.
Those are the guilty pleasure episodes for me.
That room where data has a throne had a great design too. I think it was reused in ds9 atleast some of the structures
Mike nitpicking filmed carpet lint, the world enraptured.
I think it's a nail
Tasha really didn't catch a break, the alternate timeline is more disturbing than tar monster 😬
More like the Yar Monster 😂
Until they pointed this out I never thought of it that way.
I always thought Picard was the most tortured soul in the galaxy, but alternate reality Tasha Yar said: hold my beer.

Scam immediately fails due to obvious out of place anime girls.
@Lassi Kinnunen Spend the next 10 years living in the prison hologram and teasing the Romulans with super secret information the whole time.
Mike: But if the monster of the week beats up Worf, then he’s the strongest guy on the ship.
Data: What’s this crap?
(Shame on you, Mike. Shame)
I just love the way Rich looks at Mike when Mike is explaining something. It's so... respectful and innocent.
Why not Jay here ? Like to see him 'dead inside' when others talk about Star trek 😂😂
He's dead behind the eyes behind the camera
Mike's drunk on TNG, I didn't even know that was possible.
Probably helps that he's also just regular drunk.
Mike and Rich: Your Star Trek talk... Completes. Me.
Rich to Mike - "Is it a curse to have trouble suspending your disbelief like that?" Mike - "mmmNnnnooo" Shows a picture of Riker by a speck.. 🤣
0:18 Timescape
21:50 All Good Things
29:09 Parallels AKA Mike goes on a rant
35:45 Conundrum
50:30 Yesterday’s Enterprise
1:03:45 Future Imperfect
I binge watched all of tng specifically so I could have context for this series, and it was worth it
This should become Rich and Mike's talk about every tng episode. Several more top 10s, then several bottom 10s, then several meh episodes and then everything else.
Rich and Mike are like the Star Trek fan friends I never had.
"Good lord Mr. Data it's a human heart!"
'Yes sir, but it is dipped in chocolate'
God, how did I forget Shooter McGavin was in a episode of TNG.
Guinan: 'Geordie, tell me about.... Tasha Yar'
Geordie: 'LMAO'
Geordie: "I worked with her for about 5 months 2 years ago, then a tar monster killer her, so umm..."
Some of my favorites are Data episodes: The Most Toys (I loved the actor who played the villain, and it was interesting that there was some implied moral ambiguity in Data's actions at the end of the episode); The Offspring (because it was a concept I hoped they would explore, and so much of it was just sweet) and Data's Day (this is kind of a nothing episode, but it's just fun - it also confirms the idea they've pointed out before that the Enterprise is essentially Space Uber.) I hope Mike & Rich might talk about some of them next time! (Because let's be real, this can't be the last TNG favorites list.)
Yeah I remember that episode well. I'm pretty sure that guy had already killed the girl that had been helping him and HE DID attempt to kill him justifying it with the future actions of this man and finding no redeemable, logical or moral reason for him to continue to exist and decided to act. Riker tells him they picked up a phaser discharge
In the transporter that had to be neutralized. Are you alright Data? He says everything is fine but we all knew different & so did Riker.
I also love “Data’s Day”! It’s like a little interlude between space adventures and space anomalies. “Nothing’s going on on the Enterprise lately. Let’s check in on Data’s progress with understanding humans and hear what he’s writing in his diary this week.”
@@michaelscott7916 It was so unusual for his character - I was surprised that they never seemed to address it again (unless I missed it)
@@rfrolicarts No they really didn't , not directly, but in another great Data episode the question of his sentience & if he has a real sense of morality & everything else humans consider mandatory to be considered & respected as, atleast ,equals . His right to literally decline a starfleet scientist's overeager desire to take him apart in the hopes of recreating a whole fleet of Data's is literally on trial here. Piccard defends him & Riker is tasked with trying to prove something he doesn't even believe. Earlier when the scientist asked Riker if he really believed there is a real, genuine & intelligent consciousness in Data & Riker said he didn't believe there was that he knew there was . Piccard defends him and I think it's titled ' The Measure of a Man.' & I have to believe it's one of the best episodes of TNG or any other Star Trek period . Everyone is outstanding in their parts and it's extremely well written and was talking about things that are still holding back society today. Way , way ahead of it's time.
I always liked Brothers, but I acknowledge that its a dumb episode.
Mike, you incorrectly called a “disrupter” a “phaser”. You…should apologize…and stay off the Dan Aykroyd crystal vodka.
Yeah, THAT'S what he should've dubbed over, not the Farscape nonsensa!
It's worth pointing out that Adam Nimoy is married to Terry Farrell, of DS9 fame (Jadzia Dax)
Update, they are no longer married. That means Terry Farrell is single!
He is a very lucky man !
I follow her on Twitter and I swear she seems like the nicest lady
Those spots go all the way down.
Waaaaaaaaaaaat
MIND BLOWN! I did not know that.
I am that guy that never watched Star Trek, but enjoys them talking about it. I started watching TNG, and I must say I am pleasantly surprised. Also, it took me watching few episodes to understand why are they pissed about Picard and Discovery.
I started to watch TNG because of you guys, I freaking love it so far!
Hang in there, it gets way better after the first season!
Be sure to watch DS9 after!
@@Anthony-jo7up I will :D
@@BlueBoy0 Going back to season 1 has always been a surreal experience for me. Riker’s baby face, the Ferengi being treated as a serious threat, code of honor, and red shirt Geordi to name a few.
It feels like watching some sort of bizarro version of TNG after getting used to the later seasons.
@@theycallmejojo6090 It's pretty impressive that they went from phaser whips and African Stereotype Planet to Best of Both Worlds in only three seasons.
Denise Crosby leaving TNG was supposedly the fault of Rick Berman. Apparently, he treated her poorly, as well as other female members of the various show staffs. Considering that Terry Farrell has unrelatedly claimed to have left DS9 for reasons related to weird, sexist comments made by Berman toward her and other female cast members, and a pretty interesting Twitter exchange between Berman and Crosby from last year, I feel like it's worth taking note of, at least.
What is it with Ricks?
Berman was also responsible for the nixing the recurring storyline involving Tasha's daughter, which is why that plot just kind-of fizzled out after a few episodes when it seemed like it might be going somewhere.
Berman in general just seemed like kind of a creep. Enterprise was more of his creative baby and you can tell with that show's ridiculous decontamination gel.
I also read that Farrell wanted more money, but the problem with Dax is that any actor can play that character. So in the end it's probably a bit of both.
@@unrealzocker She wanted as much money as her male co-stars. Rick Berman did not like that.
@@unrealzocker Although with all the complaints that have surfaced about Berman, you do wonder who started those 'she was demanding more money' rumours. Something that petty seems very much his style.
I always thought it was funny how in Yesterday's Enterprise Guinan is trying so hard to convince Picard to send the Enterprise C back in time even though it means their deaths because it's the right thing to do. And then in Unification Guinan basically says that Sela's existence is all Picard's fault lol. YOU'RE THE ONE THAT TOLD HIM TO DO IT.
All good things is as perfect as it can get for a finale. I dont know anyone who likes this show and doesn't like this episode. It is a combination of great scripting, plot, character and emotion, science fiction, and intrigue. No show has ended this well that I can remember.
MASH’s Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen come to mind
Yesterday's Enterprise would have made for a better Star Trek Generations. Swap out Captain Garret and the Enterprise C, with Kirk and the Enterprise A. Kirk and crew and the refitted Constellation class Enterprise could have had a heroic ending rather than Kirk dying on Viridian 3.
Come on, Don't dripfeed us, Just make this a regular series, The audience will trek on with you.
@31:35 I think it's important to point out there is another universe that mike really likes the multiple timelines. He says "imagine if that was real life! What if there were multiple versions of us too?!" Then he proceeds to eat a brick with his tentacle arm.
