Daniel fielding will always be the greatest badass lawyer in comedy history

John will always be dan ( the cad ) fielding

ITS A FAKE!

Notice how he does that typical Picard gesture of pulling his uniform down when he is leaving the room. It's a very subtle movement but it shows that he is already inhabiting the role of captain.

Anyone catch the error in this scene? The control panel was hit by Spock who was no where near it! Vulcan power!

Mchattie played a twin pyscho killer in a movie

The Borg episodes of TNG are among the best of the series, and this is one of the best scenes.

THIS is Dan Fielding! NOT the watered-down version we got today!

"Hello, Dan Dan Fielding!"

So many things I could say but I won't

One thing I love about this episode is that, well... Think about it. In this scene, there's a duplicitous, scheming individual willing to use lies and deception in order to coerce his counterpart into a war they would not support if they knew the truth, and an honorable man open to the truth, willing to reconsider his options if presented with the proper evidence, all while trying to prevent his people from being dragged into a war that does not currently involve their nation. With the above paragraph, who would you normally think would be the Human Starfleet Captain, and which the Romulan Senator?

I remember the first time I watched him as Fielding. I was so angry because I wanted to watch FRIENDS but we didn’t have any streaming services we could watch it on, so I sat in my room bored. My mom found me and said “why don’t you do something? go outside, play, maybe chase the dogs around for a bit?” so I explained my (ever so big for a 12 year old girl) predicament. So she dragged me downstairs and we sat in front of the TV. She scrolled for a bit before stumbling on Night Court and said “I loved this show when I was a kid.” I wanted to be a lawyer at the time and had a very dark sense of humor so she immediately put it on and said “you’ll love Dan.” My mom was always right, and I did of course immediately love Dan. I love this show so much.

DeForest Kelley Was Just Jealous Because He Was Originally Cast As Spock Until Leonard Nimoy Showed Up

He didn't know Starfleet would win the war at anycost aswell he found out the hardway

I saw an episode years ago, only once, Dan is dressed as a nun; he fools Christine, I forgot what they said to each other, but Christine soon finds out it’s Dan and she hits him, and hits him again, and hits him again, and all that time Dan is smiling … 😊 Could you show that too, or is it forgotten?

He looks a bit like Willem Dafoe.

FAAAAAAAKE

Absolute class act, like most old classic Trek actors.

Deep Space 9 was the best Star Trek series

Riker contemplates how to be Capt. Riker without Picards shadow over him. Since Picard wrote the book on Enterprise, maybe Riker should not write one either but just be Unorthodox.🎉

"The Dominion is prepared to win at any cost." Funny thing about the Federation though - push them hard enough and next thing you know, they're unleashing a bioweapon that wipes out the Founders in one fell swoop.

I got the whole series, and I haven't even seen the one about the killers yet. I have got to see that one, it looks so funny!

Guinan is such an obnoxious and unnecessary character. Oh... wait! They needed a black character. OK.. But fuck she's boring! Holy shit. That fake pretentious wisdom always gave this wonderful show a smell of... body odor. I mean, really, we needed a bartender? Holy shit!

Whoopi should have stayed Guinan. What a sad creature has she devolved into.

Great scene. Riker always needed career advice. I know why the series kept him as second in command for so long, but realistically, he would have been promoted to captain much sooner.

Senator Vrenak’s scenes really help make this episode to be honest.

Isn't wishing long life and prosperity likewise superstitious?

No pep talk and no chair can make a captain. It’s a shame that there were no leadership courses when this was filmed, to turn any fool into a leader.

DAMN IT...I love this scene. Some incredible writting

Dan is definitely my favorite character

Whoopi always owns the room - respect :)

I noticed Riker tugged at this jacket, just as Picard did, on his way to the bridge. Subtle!

Legendary scene, no booming soundtrack, just two great actors and excellent dialog. The music arrives exactly when it means to, just like Gandalf.

I really like Q. Even when he is saving them he still has a go at humanity’s stuffiness.

The way John portrays Dan gives me strong Dick Shawn vines. Shawn was an actor and a comedian from “it’s a mad mad mad mad world” and “The Producers.” He was known for his jittery and goofy yet energetic and affable presence when performing. Also, he became a silver fox when he got a little older, much like John. It also helps that John and Dick look and sound similar too.

This was a time in Whoopie Goldberg's life where she was a respectable person and someone to be admired and a gifted and funny actress but now I can't stand this Liberal Poisened horrid woman ....

Is " this " ever truly " over " ? We were foolish enough to buy that idea in 1945 and in 2014 " they " came back and the world just adores them.

Oh, G'Kar darling, remember that false confession you had terrorized Londo's nephew into signing? I think you have a pretty good idea of what your Reb sister in arms is trying to say.

Loved seeing him in tv series since his first in Baa Baa Backsheep

Just one of MANY brief scenes that prove undisputably that Guinan was a FAR better Ship's Counselor than Troi ever could be. After all, Guinan had at least 400 years more experience dealing with various situations than Troi did. Just my own personal opinion anyway.

Never quite understood why Riker didn’t just stay as a captain from then on. Ok, they got Picard back. But for most of the Star Trek films, Kirk had TWO captains ( Spock and Scott) serving under him. Couldn’t Riker have likewise been first officer with the rank of captain?

This was a great scene

It was cool to hear a Romulan use my peoples accent.

How is it possible to like Guinan so much yet dislike Whoopi Goldberg.

I wouldn't call this a discussion, really. They don't list the "pros and cons" or have any real back-and-forth about it. Toby just says it should be "impossible" to execute someone, and Bartlet shrugs "it's not".

Did he ever tell you why we were so close?? No Oh 😏... Classic!

Love her in this role.

Throughout TNG and Deep Space 9, some of the best casting and writing was reserved for the Romulan characters.
