This video was funny. Thxs🎉

Are you guys doing season 6 soon?

When Giles explains away the school's non-reaction to the events as "people tend to rationalize what they can't, and forget what they can't", on first viewing in the 90s, I bought that explanation. Hearing it again now, I was like, wait...that's the exact opposite of how people react. They freak out at the slightest, unexpected thing and buy into the first conspiracy theory about it.

Wait, in this episode he says that Humanity was exonerated by the Q however in the finale he tells Picard that the trial never ended. So much for continuity.

:D

Unsubscribing again until you review DS9 and Angel. ❤

I'm so mad I'm going to resubscribe

I love how all species in the Star Trek universe are genetically compatible. It gives that kindergarten level of scientific plausibility.

14:52 What are the practical applications of *anything* Geordi can see with his VISOR? He can see tachions. He can see gravitons. It's a post scarcity, post capitalism society. People do jobs for fun. Whoever built the VISOR, put those abilities into it because they felt like it The Federation is against genetic engineering because of The Eugenics War, but scientists still want to tinker with people. and Geordi can understand what he's looking at, because it came with an instruction manual.

The speeds that they travel in Star Trek are several orders of magnitude slower than they need to be to align with how long its shown for them to get from place to place. I blame Star Trek and shows like it for the widespread delusion that humans can go to Mars, let alone become "a multiplanetary species". We have NO good reason to travel to Mars. We're not going to live there, it's not going to be terraformed. It's just a massive waste of resources that just speeds our demise as a species. Hinting that Guinan has powers on par with Q was a big mistake. It's never referenced again, and it creates massive plot holes. Like why does she never use her powers, when there were plenty of times they would get them out of a jam. How did the Borg manage to defeat a race of Q-like creatures? Makes no sense whatsoever.

The guy who plays Shao Khan also played several different demons on Charmed

I always felt like this was a more realistic story about trying to communicate with an alien species. There's no guarantee the aliens even have a concept of language the way we do. For all we know the first alien species we meet communicates only by smell and can encode complex ideas into scents only their advanced olfactory senses can interpret. Like that Kingon from the Drumhead encoding communications in strings of proteins and then injecting himself with them.

This episode was definitely an A+ episode that was very memorable.

This is a case where the premise itself undermines the entire episode. If you can forget that, you can enjoy this episode a lot. Based on what we know about the transporters, even back then, it should have been a trivial matter to transport Moriarty out of the holodeck and provide him a physical form. I guess they can't do that, because it illuminates another "problem" Star Trek has created for itself, which is that everyone is immortal. There's no reason why you can't just take someone's transporter pattern and re-create them.

You're overlooking the very important difference between having the meeting on the bridge vs in the meeting room: they get to sit down. 😆

Just working my way through the episodes (the review, not the actual show). I think your grading was a little on the high side, not leaving much room to go up. While I generally agreed with the comments and the relative ranking of episodes within season 1, if it were me I'd have knocked a full grade point off each one. While I was a big fan of the show when it was on, I was pretty young. On sober re-watching, there's a lot of crap, a lot of mediocre episodes, and fewer than I remember truly good episodes. In the whole series, I'm guessing there's about ten "A" episodes, none of which were in season 1. Looking forward to watching the rest of your reviews, as they are entertaining and often quite funny.

1 of my favorite movie's of all time

C minus?! Damn, b. You b crazy.

In New York City in 1972 and 1973.This was a staple on t v during the holiday season

Commander Remmick, aka guidance counselor extrordinare David Deaver.

Entertaining round-up! 😅👍👍

Push him off the cliff, then say "There, now you have experienced gravity." ACDC plays, as he dons his sunglasses and walks away in slow motion.

"How about we do a little Binar action of our own?" Sorry, I don't do 101. I only do 010.

The commentary about pulaski seems to miss the fact that data is utterly unique and there is nothing in the federation like him, except maybe Lore. Pulaski has never dealt with anything luke data before, and she's skeptical that he's really intellegent because he's the only being of his kind.

The actress who plays Dr. Pulaski also played one of McCoy's nurses in TOS. I like to pretend it's the same character, and it's no wonder she's just like McCoy after working with him for an extended period.

Galen, nice callforward to the episode where he pretends to be an Archaeologist on the mercenary ship.

All the lines on the colony set were dubbed, due to the background noise of the aqueduct. The only difference is that Hines' lines are dubbed by someone else, because he was unavailable at the time they needed to do the dubbing. He demanded his credit be removed after hearing how awful the performance was.

If the Shelliac view humans as a lower form of life, why would they have negotiated a treaty with them? It would be like if I negotiated a treaty with a bunch of raccoons. Makes no sense.

I loved this film as a kid. I always thought at the end that he was actually seeing God watching over humanity. Dude is pretty much talking about the all seeing eye. Not to mention the last scene is in a church solidifies the idea that what he is seeing is actually God imo.

That's actually the hand posture for the Masenko, and not the Kamehameha

Your poetry has some real Bing Bong Bros energy.

So this episode was rated DD?

Clones are super outlandish because the aftermath of Eugenics wars made all genetic engineering, especially cloning, super illegal and taboo.

An hypothesis is grammatically correct.

thumbs up 6:55 <3 i love robia lamorte, so graceful, so brafree!!! tv was better back then before all the woke shit, just compare old charmed to new charmed... sad times

The interrogator on Babylon 5.

Yes in TNG they did have some of the crew with the folks in a relationship being stationed at 2 different locations.. Also Picard is known for not taking shoreleave/brakes from the ship. Only way to seam to make him want to get off the ship is give him heads up that Deanna's mom will be coming to visit the ship like when the crew was trying to get him to go to Risa.... He was on the bridge saying he is to busy, then Deanna says "Say you know my mom is coming on the ship at the next star-base" the Picard is like "so tell me more about this Risa place...."

The foresight of suspecting Beverly is going to take the Enterprise into the star... and you rifling it off as a mere joke. This is the stuff of legend.

You guys are going to think I'm arguing semantics here but, if you want to know what data really is, he is an ANDROID, not robot.

This episode was just stupid. As if a few guys from the Federation could get into the heart of Romulan power and do something. This episode was propaganda at its lowest level. Neral disappeared from the episode and Sela remained. Completely illogical. I perceived Spock very negatively. He was a seducer with his Surak ideology and thus put Romulans' lives in danger. I never understood the enthusiasm for this borderliner.

Have you checked out Tsutaya in Japan?

Guys, I'm sorry, I really want to like your commentary..... but you suck the joy and fun out of every episode! Nitpicking every single little detail! It's science fiction for God's sake, if you're unwilling to suspend even the slightest bit of disbelief, then why are you watching? And frankly, at times your comments are totally nonsensical... Ro is sent on a deep cover mission, and yet you find it odd that she would have answers available when she is asked basic questions by the group she was sent to infiltrate? You think it's "obvious" that life is hard in this region? Firstly, Americans fail to recognize when life is hard for the guy next door, nor do they care. Secondly, it's "obvious" that conditions are terribe in Sudan, that doesn't mean anyone does anything about it. What in the world does "obviousness" have to do with anything? This episode effectively illustrated how the "enemy" is relative. How one person's terrorist, is another person's hero. How what's "right" and what's legal are often at odds. I'm shocked that you could miss that. Well, truthfully, I'm not that shocked because your videos have a tendency to miss the point consistently. Guys really..... if you have zero appreciation for a series, then why are you watching it? I know you're aiming for "funny" but you're mostly succeeding at bitchy, and frankly... stupid.

Gotta say, I really disagree with the idea that Troy should have been looped in for any meaningful conversation. Yes, this is the only Star Trek series to involve a full-time therapist, but that doesn't negate the existence of friends and confidants! Amanda had a connection and friendship with Beverly, so it's hardly surprising that she sought her counsel and advice. You can't expect every character to go running to a therapist every time something is hard! Also, I thought Amanda's hand motions were fantastic, and frankly, cool! She's a physical girl, existing in a physical world, but coming to realize that she can control it. I find it believable that she would use physical gestures to manipulate the physical world around her as she realizes that she can! Importantly, when she undertakes her greatest Q action of all, at the end of the episode, she does it without any gesture, because she has come to truly understand that she is not bound by the physical world. She has come to understand that her will alone is enough.

I stick with you ;D

You did not mention that F Zero GX has a custom ship building feature. That was the icing on the cake for that game!!! But I'm a sucker for a decent custom creation mode.

24:15. Is this where you passed the game to Giles, and he them comes in to that episode of Buffy after that really intense game of doom?

Beverley was angry because Russell was going to beat her kill count.

you know who would have made a better captain ahab than patrick stewart? Nick cage, balls to walls nick cage as well.

Spectre is a big letdown after Skyfall. It remains my least favorite Bond film of Daniel Craig's tenure, with Skyfall being my favorite - so, it's somewhat odd that Sam Mendes directed both. I think my ranking of Craig's Bond films is: 1. Skyfall 2. Casino Royale 3. No Time To Die 4. Quantum of Solace . . . . 5. Spectre
