That scene between Data and Tasha Yar in 'The Naked Now' actually led to a heartbreaking moment in the season 2 episode 'The Measure of a Man'. While Data is being questioned about himself in the proceedings to determine whether he is to be treated as Starfleet property, Captain Picard asks him why he keeps an image of Tasha Yar in his quarters. After initially being hesitant to betray Tasha's confidence even after her death, he reveals that she was special to him and that they had been intimate. It was one of the most powerful moments in that episode, and I think it showed how much Data appreciated Tasha for sharing such an important aspect of the human condition with him.
data is my fave st character ever
The look on the Jag's face is priceless
More of a man than most human males.
yeah, but its also kinda weird they gave data a working dick..... i mean its not for reproduction. pretty funny tho, you can imagine him saying like "performing hardening function now" or something.
@@adamvifrye2690 Well, we are talking about a mad scientist who made a perfect gynoid replicant of his own wife, and made her so well she eventually left him, sooo.....
Geordi wasn't the only one. Reg went a lot further with his Crusher and Troi holograms.
But at least he had the decency to be horrified when they found out, and not expect them to behave like the holograms he'd made. Barclay had a rather better grasp of the difference between fantasy and reality.
@@Seal0626 Indeed he did.
And a few season later his questionable holodeck addiction came in handy. I doubt they could have beaten Moriarty the second time without Barclay's ability to not only tell the difference between a holodeck but his ability to create programs so precise that other people couldn't tell.
@@jessewilley531 and quite possibly his respect towards Moriarty, which I think was a major calming factor, stemmed from this.
Incidentally, Moriarty's character in those episodes perfectly matches the canon Irene Adler. Not evil, nor even wilfully antagonistic; but having a personal goal and the confidence to demand it, to do what is necessary to achieve it, and over all to have independence.
WAY further! That man was screwed up.
@@Seal0626 I've read the entire Holmes canon, and I sort of agree there. But then Trek Moriarty was created to defeat Data. There is no emotional less logical than compassion not just for a friend, but an enemy. At least at the time. it'd be the human emotion Data would have had the most problem understanding.
"Tell me about your sexual organs." That's the best pick up line EVER.
Only if it's from the girl to the guy maybe.
Hey, I'm bi and it works on both sexes. 😜
God gave me these four steps via divine revelation. He said anyone who does all four are guaranteed a divine revelation of their own. They are the mustard seed of Faith, the bare minimum amount of effort he's willing to accept before he reveals himself to you personally. Believe or not, do for yourself and see. Forgive your parents, break down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. There's deep spiritual significance in these steps. Every one is important, and it's the least God accepts. Three books of the bible will be enough for the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. I'm not talking about signs, feelings, etc, but am honest to goodness one on one conversation with God. An actual meeting. Unmistakable, and unable to be misinterpretaed. He told me that he's guaranteed the steps to work 100%. You just need to do them guininly. It's not hard. Do those steps in that order please. It's all True. I promise,
@@KEVMAN7987 If you said it right it would come off a cute. If not creepy it just depends on context.
This whole thing is only a problem because people are so repressed in our society. Talking sincerely about your sexual organs, mind included, is good for you.
After making out with Holo-Leah, Geordi should've deleted the program and erased his cookies.
Perhaps so. But Geordi really wasn't that much of a pervert. Especially considering some of Quark's holodeck programs.
Barclay's fantasies were even worse.
Image the obscene (& legal) ways people would use holodecks today if they were actually real. Just saying.
For all the talk of security throughout the various series, their private-personal data is surprisingly accessible.
@@ABQSentinel True. Hopefully civilians had a little more privacy rights than Starfleet officers.
I believe Geordi may have erased his cookies on the Holodeck offscreen. Badum-tiish!
@@kanedaku Exactly. 😁 Just like someone might delete their browser history after watching porn.
The worst job in the Star Trek universe is whoever has to clean up the holodecks. There's probably bodily fluids everywhere after a few days of solid use.
I'd modify the transporters to remove any 'organic' substances left behind! A quick sparkle and all that problematic DNA is beamed into space...where it would probably encounter some kind of alien probe, impregnate it, and form the monster-of-the-week.
@@daveryder9617 the REAL origin of the Borg!
OMG BWAHAHAHAHAHA. I can't stop laughing.....
@@daveryder9617 Funny. And was there some unofficial rule that said never show a bathroom or a toilet on a starship?
@@seandunn176 i WISH i was a good artist, if i was i would totally rule 32 that shit.
That episode where Lwaxana Troi is getting married, and every guest had to show up naked, because that's the tradition. They did'nt show the wedding tho, but I remember what Picard said:
- I'll be at the gym.
😂
Classic!
"This Dude's Bulge" guy was one of my High School's Drama Teachers.
He was on my Mom's favorite soap opera when I was little.
His name is Jay Louden
@@MikinessAnalog It sure is.
@matt fahringer that one was pretty tame to be honest. Labyrinth had been out for years but that time and just puts the TNG one to shame.
Best of Both Worlds, Part 1
Shelby: _"Data was available. I took him, we came. I don't see your problem."_
When Riker told Troi that he "brought something back from Risa" her first reaction ought to have been to tell him to get to Sickbay!
And sanitise the seat he was sitting on
oh, thats hilarious :-)
YES! That's the _perfect_ reply!
The most hilarious thing about Risa was that Riker asked Picard to buy a Hoghan figurine (that's probably not how you spell that), well knowing that the figurine will get Picard into quite a few cringy situations.
I am surprised that the Season Two episode "The Child" didn't make the list. The scene in question is when an alien light enters the ship into Deanna Troi's bed, and crawls up her hoohah, causing her to moan in pleasure before waking up, and then later realizing that said alien light had impregnated her.
And no one seems particularly perturbed that Troi was forcibly impregnated by a roaming space light. Big ol' WTF.
@@mattrobson3603 I can only imagine that was the compromise (a glowing light vs anything else) to telling that story...
What makes it even more awful is that all the crap Deanna went through in that episode - being violated and impregnated by an alien entity, going through pregnancy, birth and parenthood in a matter of days only to have the child die tragically at the end - is never brought up again in the show. It's never mentioned or referenced again, never reflected on, nothing is ever learned from it. They put the character through a very traumatizing ordeal for the sake of creating one episode of cheap drama without any real emotional payoff down the road.
@@jennyr1625 Actually, I believe the episode was originally written for Star Trek; Phase 2 (The 70's era sequel to TOS that fell through, and the pilot script became The Motion Picture. Would be interesting to know who was supposed to get pregnant. (Chapel or Ilia would be the 2 obvious choices.)
@@nathancline4000 There was a fanmade 'the child' episode made (it's on youtube:startreknewvoyages). It is actually better than the TNG version I think.
10:29 I prefer Gates' description that Beverly was "in love with a lamp" - making this the original "I love lamp."
A Horga'hn.
Do you seek jamaharon?
@@skidawg22 😁👍 Somtimes.
The creepy bit with Geordi wasn't that he snogged a hologram. She wasn't real, and wasn't enhanced by the ship's AI like Minuet or Moriarty. The disturbing part was what happened when the real Leah Brahms visited the ship, as you said.
Quark's holosuites on DS9 ... he's basically a ferengi pimp running fantasy brothels filled with disposable illusionary prostitutes. Or so it's said..
But he had one wealthy/desperate/threatening customer with a "special" request involving a certain female officer from the station. She happened to find the notion repulsive,, nearly attacked them, eventually punished them in particularly nasty and humiliating ways.
@@pwnmeisterage Yes, the episode "Meridian" were Quark's customer wanted the holodeck program of Kira ?
It might have been inappropriate. But just imagine how people would use holodecks if they were real today.
At the end of the day, it was just harmless fantasy like watching porn.
And that as detailed in other Star Trek materials, she marries him.
@@BTScriviner Maybe he found another woman named Leah.
Moral of the story: Ladies, stop snooping around trying to find your boyfriend/husband/ANYONE else's porn stash. No good shall come of it, it's a fairly undefendable violation of privacy, and it was absolutely none of your business to begin with.
Sorn: "Tell me about your sexual organs." Any man: "Oh crap, what have you heard? I have a cream I bought from a Uridian on Rigal 8 and he promised it would work!"
Firstly, you should REALLY do an episode like this for DS9 (and what the heck Voyager also).
Secondly, one moment you didn't include was the episode where Riker was being held captive in an alien hospital, where the female (I am assuming nurse) offers to help Riker escape if he slept with her.
I guess do Enterprise too while we're at it, though Dear Doctor is more controversial than inappropriate.
Oh yeah, definitely Voyager! If only for the infamous 'Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turn into lizards and have lizard-babies together' episode. Also, I seem to remember when Neelix and Kes were first introduced to the crew and the series as a romantic couple, Neelix made a point of saying that Kes was ONLY TWO YEARS OLD or something (I know it was supposed to be because her race/species aged at a different rate than other humanoids, but even so...) I think that was why I could never get fully on board with their romance - it always felt a bit creepy/predatory to me. I mean, why make a point of saying that, if she just looks like a normal adult, unless you're actually TRYING to add a bit of 'edginess' into it?
@@Maerahn I think it was 9. Their species lives till about 20, I do believe.
Bebe Neuwirth played the nurse. Kelsey Grammer had a role on an episode. I always hoped to see Cliff Ratzenberger and George Wendt sitting at the bar in 10 Forward.
@@crazydud3380 Kes was 1 year & some months old when she joined Voyager. In the episode Elogium, she states she is not even 2 yet. She was 4 years old when she left Voyager. The episode Before and After shows Kes in the morilogium phase of the end of her life, in advanced old age, at the ripe old age of 9.
How the heck did "Hollow Pursuits" not make this list?
"I am the goddess of empathy!"
"Muzzle it!"
No. I think we should let it play out.
I just looked up the transcript to quote the version of Deanna when Barclay beats up Riker, but then I found out it's the 69th episode of TNG... nothing I could quote could match that fact.
The quote will never not make me laugh
@@rokkenrobyn6462 I've got one that can beat it, at least if we take it out of context. Lt. Cmdr Shelby: _"Data was available. I took him, we came. I don't see your problem."_
The worst scene is in TNG "The Child" where Deanna is raped and impregnated, and then the men of the cast are discussing "what to do about it" and questioning her about who the father is, with zero concern for her after the assault.
Typical Berman era script.
Slaps forhead....
@@titusmccarthy what does that mean?
@@loulfw2513Google “Rick Berman.”
The best part of Data being "fully functional" is that it was brought back up in First Contact when the Borg Queen tried seducing him.
And he remembers how long it's been, to the second..
Which means we have an exact chronological fix of First Contact in relation to TNG.
“DINNAE LIGHT THA CAAAANDLE!”
"or I will be burying another Howard in the cemahteddy"
*DONT LIGHT THE FUCKING SEX CANDLE*
The Kissing Holograms was kind of addressed in DS9. Basically I thought that it was absurd that a starship could have this kind of holographic technology without the rule "Don't make copies of real people, and then do stuff with them!". Only on DS9 does Quark run into the apparently new rule when he tries to make a sexogram of Kira, so I suppose Starfleet learned something from Geordi, and Barclay of course.
"In my country this episode aired between The Simpsons and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" 🤣😂🤣😂
I thought he was going to say Fresh Prince of Bell-end. 😁
So much nostalgia hit me when he said that cuz it's true and my brain instantly brought up an image of the TV schedule from back then.
England?
I can remember that billing starting at 6 pm on a week day showing on the BBC.. If I'm not mistaken lol
I guess you could say, after watching that episode, that Adam's life got flipped, turned upside-down.
Lol, Adam you forgot Menage a Troi, the episode where Lwaxana literally has to seduce a Ferengi in an attempt to save herself, Riker, and Troi from the Ferengi. And then there's the episode where Lwaxana is pretty much horny for the entire runtime! 😂
So...almost every episode of any Star Trek she is on?
The look on Lwaxana’s face when she realises she’s been jacking off a ferengi ....
In DS9 Lwaxana has a virus that when she passes it on to the station's crew they all become infatuated with someone they could not have. She insisted that since she wasn't affected, she was not the source.
I can see this episode also getting banned. The last thing anyone wanted was someone trying to excuse their inappropriate behavior on a virus.😉
Let's not forget that both Trois are transported out of their clothes.
Ooh, 2nd list!
It just occurred to me that with a crew of that size, having only one ships counselor on the entire ship is crazy. When all that mess with Barclay happened, Troi should have had at least one backup counselor to hand Reg off to.
Yah Reg and the holodeck fantasies would make this list for me before a little head explosion.
Voyager didn't have any counselors at all.
remember, tng started in 1987. ronald reagan had just kicked a bunch of mentally ill people out of the hospitals to live on the streets. many mental health issues were either outright ignored or severely under diagnosed. mental health was not prioritized. the inclusion of any mental health expert was a huge step forward in advocacy for mental health care and the destigmatization of mental health patients.i will forever be grateful for star trek helping me to accept myself.
Oh, please. There would be absolutely no point in making "fully functional" androids if we didn't expect them to be, well, "fully functional".
So I basically grew up with Star Trek because my mom didn't care if I walked in while she was watching it and me and my younger brother laughed our asses off at that guy exploding. We just thought it looked funny. I think I was about 8, my brother 6.
pixelating Troi's words while Adam talks about Dr Crusher ****ing the ghost...
I wasn't offended by the Beverley Crusher part because I was too busy drooling how gorgeous she was.
That scene of Crusher and Troi helping each other stretch has fueled plenty of fantasies for me over the years.
"This dude's bludge"
"Children saw that"
.... I didn't see that...... now I can't stop seeing that
The real problem with the Geordi/Leah thing was when he got butthurt at her and told her off for not responding well to his creepy "romantic" gestures...
EXACTLY. People have fantasies, and people are going to indulge in their fantasies in private. The problem is that Geordi, unlike Barclay, actually begrudged Leah for not being like the fantasy he created.
Also, the idea of LaForge "doing things" in Engineering will now forever cause me to snigger at any mention of "plasma injector"
Careful there buddy. I think you meant SNICKER*
No, I really didn't. Why do I need to be "careful?"
Its something called a joke. But I guess you missed it.
Ive never heard anyone say "snigger" lol. Ive heard "snicker" though. So i thought it was funny.
The #2 Most Inappropriate Moment was from "Conspiracy"--Season 1, Epiode 24. I don't get the comment by Adam Cleary that, "they should not have done this. This was a bad idea." As a fan of horror as well as sci-fi, I thought it was great. Here's an explanation from IMDb's Trivia on the episode as to why they went ahead with it.
"A mold of Paul Newman's face was filled with raw meat and then blown up to create the effect used when Picard and Riker fire on Remmick, but both Rick Berman and Peter Lauritson were concerned that it was too graphic. Dan Curry invited his six-year-old son to watch the episode in order to test how children would react to it; the boy reportedly liked it so much that he suggested the creation of a Remmick action figure whose head would blow up by pressing a button. This resulted in Berman deciding to air the episode uncut with the full sequence included."
Did they make the action figure though??
That's why Quark had Holosuites in his bar...!
Next Gen was new right as I was ahhhhh, coming of age you might say.
All I'll admit to is that I STILL have a crush on Troi....
i mean Mirina Sirtis (Troi) is HAWT so....
@@sinswhisper9588 Think so too...
You should have caught Marina Sirtis at a Con in the 00's. She wore the shortest skirts in Christendom. Yikes.
The fact they used a phaser sound as a way to censor the f-bomb is hilarious.
That's a photon torpedo, TOS era. A similar sound effect was used in some low-quality cartoons, and IIRC in the animated series, a Star Trek cartoon which was generally of good quality.
Thank you so much for making this quality content, a lovely change. Please never stop.
Surprised you did not go over when Riker had the power of Q and gave Worf a female. "You have sex with that" - Geordi
"This is sex" - Worf.
“Is this your idea of sex?” 😂
“But I have no place for it in my life now”
fully functional, conversant with multiple techniques
I bet Odo on DS9 had a wide variety of pleasing techniques for Kira with his shape shifting abilities. 😁
@fus149 Hammer Yep. I can only begin to imagine all the obscene things Odo could do to Kira in bed that no woman had ever experienced. He could give new meaning to the old saying: "She's got a guy in every hole".
In fact for some reason, Kira seemed like just the sort of girl who would really like that. 😁
Isn't Geordi married to Brahms in "All Good Things"? Meaning he never got over her and waited until her husband died/ they got a divorce to swoop in and become her rebound.
Our guy was a master engineer. Her husband probably died in a shuttle which had an unfortunate malfunction.
Enjoyed your presentation and the material. Fun stuff!
This was just hilarious :) Thanks! I needed that :)
This was a good laugh, nice job on the commentary as always
let's just admit that the first season of TNG was a lot of trial and error. They finally found their footing though
I love your videos. Very accurate and hilarious. Keep up the good work. As a Trekkie myself, I happily subscribed. 😂😂😂😂
I haven’t laughed so much in days. Thanks for that! You hit it on the head. I hadn’t really given much thought to how inappropriate some of, most of, this stuff was on TNG.
Barclay did the exact same thing but made holodeck duplicates of his own crewmates including Deanna Troi as "The Goddess of Empathy"!
Yep. Personally, I think what someone did in the holodeck should be their own business (like watching porn on the internet).
But Barclay replicating crew members he interacted with everyday to simply fuck them was slightly creepy.
But at least he got confronted by Troi and had to answer to her about it.
Yeah But , ..... We all know that Barkley Hit That ' in his Holodeck fantasy of Counselor Troi " C'mon now , and she has to know that Barkley , looks at her in a certain light pertaining to his fantasies of her because of it , js !
@@jacksonheathen2092
Why would he have to be confronted about it at all? Unless he started doing that to the real Troi, then it's none of hers or anyone else's business.
It's been ages since I saw the episode "Booby trap", but I didn't have a problem with Geordi's actions. If I remember correctly, the episode started with his crush Christy (or something like that) breaking up with him. He did not intend to have any romantic relations with the hologram of Leah Brahms, it just sort of happened. I can understand that he was under a lot of stress and had a fresh heartbreak under his belt, and he did stop himself before things went too far.
The issue I have with Geordi is when he met the real Leah Brahms. Wow, that was creepy. And when she learned of the hologram and rightfully called him out on it, he ranted at her that she was being judgemental and he only wanted to be friendly... er, no dude. Best you can do in that situation is to explain that you didn''t do it on purpose, were emotionally confused at the time, realized you messed up so shut off the program after that one kiss, have never run the program again since then, and offer A SINCERE APOLOGY! His reaction there was so much worse than anything he did in "Booby trap".
@KatKaleen - second that!
Plus, the follow up really addresses the creepiness by have the real Leah be an actual person with agency.
If you watch the episode, Holo-Brahms came onto HIM first.
So that's like drawing someone's face on your hand, and then it _convinces_ you to f*** it.
If a woman wrote down her fantasies in her journal, it would be considered normal, healthy behavior. However, if someone were to read her journal without her permission, then the reader would be considered to be in violation of her privacy.
Geordi did the 24th century equivalent of writing down his fantasy in a journal. However, he used a computer and unlike a journal, he was not in complete control of the story; the holodeck computer had some control. Leah Brahms accessed Geordi's holodeck program without his permission, which is the equivalent of reading Geordi's journal, violating Geordi's right to privacy.
Leah Brahms owes Geordi an apology.
@@Eternal_Tech That's beside the point for two reasons:
1. It's not like person A found person B's diary and knowingly decided to read it, it's more like person B forgot some pages of their diary in the toaster oven's manual and after the toaster oven malfunctioned person A stumbled across them when checking the manual. It's important to note that neither of them had any malicious intent, Geordi didn't mean for the holo program to take that direction and - as I said - did stop himself in time, and Brahms had no idea she would find a private situation in a holo program specifically created for work/problem solving in a crisis.
2. Geordi didn't rant at her because she invaded his privacy, he blew up because he was frustrated and embarassed. Frustrated because the real Leah was so different from holo Leah, highly critical of his work on a professional level and exceedingly cold on a personal level, which would not have bothered him as much had he not foolishly assumed that they'd have a friendly connection. Embarassed because he KNEW what he'd done on the holodeck could be seen as offensive. I'm not gonna go down that rabbit hole because I'm pretty sure there's a 10,000+ word essay about the moral and psychological implications of recreating real people for holodeck simulations somewhere out there on the internet and this comment is already long enough.
Overall, both of them could have handled the situation much better. Frankly, my first reaction would've been: "La Forge, what the hell is this? Explain yourself!" and, you know, the way things progressed in "Booby trap", I don't think I would've been mad anymore after he'd explained it.
The part where you try to explain "The Higher Ground" was worth the price of admission.
Loved it! Laughed all the way through. Good job!
#6 "Children saw that."
Some children: "Hell, I've got bigger".
K Collier typical America prude... if he had a huge rifle in his hands instead, Adam wouldn’t have mentioned it
@@iriswaldenburger2315 Who are you calling American?
How anyone ever “justifies” Sub-Rosa as an actually GOOD episode absolutely baffles me. I like Adam’s title for it better. Ta, Adam! 🤣🤣🤣
i do, i love the episode as it uses the same Alien concept from TOS:Wolf in the fold. Sub Rosa is the light side of the idea, where Wolf in the fiold is dark side to the concept
MrVercettti89 well I support your decision then, my friend! And an interesting perspective. Cheers!
Data told the borg queen he was fully functional as well 😂😂😭😭
Great video! While I can see how a lot of these were inappropriate for the time... honestly, the scene with the guy being blown up by phasers is one of the scenes that got me into Practical Special Effects.
'Up the long ladder' was pretty inappropriate too, my family refuses to watch it to this day
I’m a bit confused why he keeps referring to “networks” with TNG. The show was syndicated (at least in the US) so it wasn’t on a network. It was on independent TV stations in the US so no network executives would have had any control over the show
6:51....
The "Hand Puppet"...LOL!😂
Fun video!! Thanks for sharing!! 🖖
I liked the episode with Crusher and the alien. The photography was great as the cottage looked every bit like the cover of a trashy romance novel you might pick up at the grocery store.
I’m almost 60 and I’m rewatching everything. I’m near the end of TNG.
You definitely needed more photon torpedo sound effects during the Sub Rosa explanation 🤣 🤣 🤣
this is literally one of the best videos on TNG I've ever seen! kudos!
I'd forgotten how truly terrible Yar's hair was in The Naked Now.
Reminds me of Amanda Donohoe in Lair of the White Worm
she had hair??
Ain't gonna lie. I loved those socalled "inappropriate" scenes.
Ah yes... I remember the Simpson, TNG, Fresh Prince days... Made it worth getting through school during the day.
That 2024 "throwaway line" is looking less and less like a "throwaway line."
Only two episodes in, they already knew they had to do something drastic to try to make Data and Tasha come across as straight.
Data was asked the same thing by the borg queen in first contact.
Was he fully functional this time?
@@RockNRoll_Knight according to data, he was very fully functional.
the episode where they find out that those bugs are inside the star fleet command's heads and controlling them and they all are controlled by a mother bug inside a lowly ensign is one of the best episodes and endings of TNG , the explosion of his head is necessary as to show it wasn't necessarily him doing all the evil things, but the bug inside his chest , which they didn't see until his head an chest exploded open
They really should have followed up with the episode with the chest monster. They left that plot open about how the signal was going off into the space and they don't know who's going to hear it and then they never did anything else with it! I get why because you know a lot of people were freaked out by the chest monster and everything, but at the same time it would have been cool to see continuation of that!
Another awkward moment is when Beverly has an affair with an alien using Cmdr Rikers body.
I forget, what was that episode story again?
@@katherinkeegan8601 that was "The Host," where a Trill comes onboard to negotiate a peace between warring parties, but, somehow, despite Dax being later established to have been involved with the Federation for a long time, the TNG crew doesn't seem to know about the symbiont (they also have brow ridges, instead of Terry Farrell's spots, & Trills couldn't use the transporter, but it never bothered Dax)...anyway, he's killed, and there's no one onboard to take the symbiont, so Riker volunteers, so the peace talks can be successful...in the midst of all this Crusher had started a relationship with Odan, and when the worm was transferred to Riker, they ended up continuing that relationship (with Troi's blessing), presumably all the way...then, at the end of the episode....
spoilers
...another Trill host comes onboard to receive the symbiont, and but it's now a woman, and Beverley just can't get past her 'current human failings' and see Odan in the new body, as the man she loved (even though she was still cool with it in Riker), so they break up, & Odan leaves
@@lauranolastnamegiven3385
Thanks for the information.
I feel like a victim of the Mandela effect. I remember the episode but I don't remember Riker being involved. I need to go back and rewatch the episode.

@@lauranolastnamegiven3385 I saw one of them behind the scenes show. Jadzia had the ridges on her forehead. But someone in charge saw it and said she was to pretty to have them. So they gave her spots
Levar burton was really hacked off about the episode. He didn’t think it was acceptable that the only love interest his character got in the series was a hologram. Implying that the only love interest he had was his hand wouldn’t have gone over well at all.
"Grounds Keeper Willy" LMAO!
I appreciate that they explained/retconned Data’s “fully functional” programming in the episode with Data’s mother, explaining that they hoped he would one day find love and intimate connections with people. It give the detail MUCH needed context.
I haven't laughed at a video this much in a long time.
The drug statement is 100% true, and the delivery from perspective as an recovering addict is 100% spot on honestly and truth. This was written by someone with experience and I suspect, the actress that played Tasha has it as well. You cannot overstate how good drugs can make you feel. It’s why they are so dangerous.
Being honest with people is seen as better than trying to control people with lies. If you tell kids "if you smoke pot you will become a crazy psychopathic killer lesbian!" they will find out that is not true when they notice someone they know who smokes dope and hasn't gone and murdered anyone. Back in the day though they used to try to put people off drugs with those kinds of lies. It just backfired. So then in the late 80's and 90's they instead decided to just tell us the truth. "These are the different drugs, these are the effects they produce, these are the names they are called and what they look like, these ones are addictive, those ones are not addictive etc." I don't know that it has had much of an effect in terms of keeping people from becoming addicts, but at least it didn't destroy our trust in everything grown ups were telling us.
Enjoyed it, you're gifted.
at a trek convention gates mcfadden shared in the episode when dr crusher taught data to tap dance she was 5 months pregnant with a love child
The Outcast was progressive for its time... right up to the point in the episode where Conversion Therapy works
I give them a free pass for it. It seems more believable than transporters
It didn't "work". The episode clearly shows she's just brainwashed and that Riker is emotionally devestated but have to let it go due to the Prime Directive.

The hologram of Leah Brahms and Moriarty are so similar in creation. Geordi asks the computer to create a character capable to defeating Data which causes the computer to give is realistic consciousness. Geordi AGAIN asks the computer to give Leah Brahms hologram (cant remember exactly) information from a conference which very much brings her hologram to life.
Good video!
the problem with number 6 is that in the summer they put cycle racing onn in the middle of that afternoon. Way more graphic. Also it's not really a bulge, more of a camel toe.
"me and tasha were........ "intimate""
He never would have said that. Proper grammar would be "Tasha and I were intimate."
Yes, I went full grammar Nazi on that. Sorry. Not sorry.
@@NotContinuum The actual line, from Measure of a Man, was: "She was special to me, sir. We were intimate."
If he had said "Tasha and me were intimate." that would have been fine too, since the used of "Tasha" there can be seen as the object of the verb.
@@maisiesummers42 Ooooh! Out grammar nazied! 😁 I was referring to the poster, not the script. However, I accept your point.
TNG: "Drugs are bad."
The Orville: *faces replicator* "One marijuana brownie!"
I'm a tad surprised they never installed a mini replicator that spits out edibles at the press of a button built into the Captain's chair. It's a very stressful job 🤣
The Orville: "Cigarettes are bad . . . for Moclans."
@@joelellis7035 Fucking great show that is.
@@MorgenPeschke It's possibly an optional extra, like the ready room fish tank. Picard doesn't strike me as a snacker...Riker, on the other hand....nibble nibble here, nibble nibble there, and he looks like Apollo in BSG at start of Season 3.
i think you could do a top 10 of sleezy stuff in quarks bar
The way he explained #7 made me LOL
Who wouldn't rather a hologram that wouldn't nag you all the time? lol
i wanna live long enough to see personal holodecks invented just so me and Riker can bang space chicks
@@sinswhisper9588 Pretty sure Riker would rather blow a trombone than bang chicks. He seems rather into blowing things.
Doctor seug wanted data to be as human as he was, so of course he made him in his image a man. Data was an artificial lifeform. Procreation was a feature of all life, therefore why are you surprised and belittling his character?
Here's an idea for a list: "10 TOS worlds you'd like to see revisited." How about Beta III (the original 'Purge' planet), Janus VI (with it's blobby Horta), Mudd's planet (with its civilization of androids), or maybe Eminiar VII ('report to your disintegration station, please')?
Beta III was revisited in Lower Decks. They were considering returning to worship Landru.
I laughed a lot at this, good work.
I was a young adult when most of these originally aired. With all the sex/sexy ones, I just laughed at the cheesiness of them. As a horror fan, I was glad to see some actually scary episodes.
Yep. Burning off commander Remmick's head with a phaser wasn't particularly scary. But the creature bursting out of the guy's chest in the original Alien movie was. 😁
I cant believe the scene from naked now where Crusher grabbed Picard by his manly bits didn't make the list. And i won't even get started on what that freak Reginald Barclay was doing to the holo images of his crew mates. thats like a whole series of videos
LOL. At least he became a standup guy by Voyager!
But what about Quark's holodeck programs ? If holo-technology was real today, people would be living out their worst dreams. Just saying. 😁
@@jacksonheathen2092 Let me be blunt if holo deck and replicator technology were real. I'd never leave my house and be surrounded by a harem of lingerie, clad classic movie starlets and female anime characters. I would commit acts of debauchery not seen since the height of the roman empire lol
@@ArronRatliff 😁😁😁 Same here. I would make Quark blush.
Gaaaah it was funny how many times you used the blast for the edit.
I can't believe I watched every episode. Good times!
Spot on; these are the journeys in Star Trek that continue to both puzzle and shock me. Think you for sharing and for the solidarity.
The thing that offends me most of number 1 on that list is that, a few episodes later on "Angel One", Data had to be told what perfume was for, and what an "aphrodisiac" was. How can an android that claims to be "fully functional" with "multiple techniques for pleasure" not know what those are?
Then again, that was a main problem with Data; he was supposed to be a walking dictionary, an analogue to Spock in the "fish out of water" character archetype, yet his lack of knowledge about basic things that he should've known about through cultural or educational osmosis is so staggering.
Even I can Google that and learn what it's for.
We should really just pretend that most of the first season didn't exist. It will make everyone's lives so much easier.
Many of the first season were retooled from the failed Phase 2 t.v. show written by Roddenberry likely in the '70s.
@@ourkeving That explains a lot.
@@ourkeving don't ruin the fantasy of what Phase 2 could have been.
The weird 'beach music' you had in the background really took me out of the video. Seemed really misplaced
What are you talking about it's perfect for the theme of the video
Geordi: "Look, Leah! I didn't MEAN to make a blow-up doll of you on the Holodeck! Things just... ended up that way!"
First-run episodes of ST:NG were not on the networks. They were syndicated. In Chicago, they were on the station that would become UPN. In Des Moines and Kansas City, they were on FOX stations. So, a few years later, new episodes of DS9 in syndication were on opposite Voyager in some markets; this was not the case in St Louis, which did not have a UPN station at the time.
Fun fact: the KC FOX station you're referring to swapped affiliations with the local NBC station in 1994, near the end of the TNG run, and they've remained that way since. I'm almost certain they also ran DS9 throughout their run.
"This dude's bulge" what bulge?
moose knuckle
Exactly.
I don't think I was offended by any of those. Never though people in shorts would offend anyone.
Tasha and Data is a classic. Why would it offend? This was funny.
Geordi banging Leah Brahms' hologram was designed to raise huge questions. Did Starfleet knowingly collect data from Leah Brahms knowing lonely engineers is a distant galaxy might fall in love? or was that truly an unintended consequence. Did Starfleet copy more from Leah Brahms than Leah Brahms consented to?
This episode may lead one day to legal discussions on whether the likeness of a person can be reproduced like that. And also a big debate of if you have the likeless of a person faithfully reproduced, do you need permission fron the real person to bang the hologram?
When a person agrees to have sex toys molded from their own body, they know exactly what those sex toys will be used for. But Leah Brahms wouldn't have consented to her character being extended to such an extent.
Ster Trek TNG (and in some Voyager Episodes) raised some serious long term issues of humandkind and technology. And that is what made it a good show with issues that are still relevant today. (perhaps even more so because we are starting to experience those issues).
I think once your holo parameters are available in some database, then people are going to do whatever they like with them. Just like if someone uploaded your nude pictures to the internet.
Geordi might have been a little creepy. But Barclay was far worse actually fucking holograms of people he saw everyday.
Then we come to Quark, who made a good part of his income selling holodeck pornography.
I remember watching these episodes as they aired as a teen. With few exceptions, I never really thought about the inappropriatness of them. Watching later I definitely noticed. My point is often times children and teens see things differently than adults. After having children I was looking for what I didn't want my kids to see rather than watching for pure entertainment i guess.
Many years after Dara's IRA reference, Star Trek Enterprise showed off a bombing at a Vulcan embassy which claimed the life of an Earth diplomat. Makes one wonder if Data would have brought up THAT as an example.
Of course not. It hadn't happened yet. Timey wimey and all that.
