r/TNG

I'm rewatching TNG after like a decade and while it wasn't a surprise that the first season is rough around the edges this episode still managed to surprise me. I don't often feel physically ill when watching bad television, but this scene really takes the cake. Whomever felt necessary to come up with Tasha's I was continuously raped between 5 and 15 and therefore let's have fun line should have been put on a rocket on a one-way trip to deep space well before dying from natural causes.

I don't even mind that the kid saved the day at the end, I'm just annoyed by the shoddiness of the whole the ship can't move, because it's missing a bunch of computer chips from a panel and oh no, a clump of star matter is heading for us thing, because that's definitely the danger when a star explodes right next to you.

Kudos to the actors trying so hard to sell the awful writing. Poor Denise Crosby really drew the shortest straw on this one and the whole show really. What were they thinking coming up with the same character twice for her and Michael Dorn?

So I have seen this episode a bunch of times but connection one is a favorite access and connection two is a bit different.... Twenty Two is the name of the episode , s02e17

So the episode which aired in 1961 is a bout a woman in the hospital and she keeps waking up in the middle of the night compelled to take the elevator down to the basement and a stunning nurse with black hair and those amazing eyebrows pops out of the morgue and says "Room For One More, Honey" - I finally connected today , after seeing the episode multiples times over the past 2 or 3 decades that the nurse was non other than Arlene Martel (T'Pring Amok Time) - I posted in the ST sub but no images is a bummer , especially when talking about Arlene, RIP 💗

Ok, the other connection . So the woman keeps waking up or perhaps she is in a waking nightmare and reaches for a glass of water on her nightstand. The glass gets knocked to the floor and breaks. But this repeats every night, and even when she tries to avoid it , the glass eventually breaks anyway. The writers of Cause and Effect have had to have gotten the Crusher scenes from this episode .... the similarities are jarring

Anyway, if you have access to the episode , I highly recommend it . The episode also stars a younger Jonathan Harris from Lost in Space

This show accompanied me through it all. Quote taken from the finale

Massive props to Spiner for being such a great actor.

Initially the display was unwatchable, but it got progressively better over the course of about half an hour to the point that it's watchable. It's sort of like watching a worn out SLP VHS tape recorded from a broadcast recieved by rabbit ears. I've got it hooked up to a digital media player over composite. I think it needs a recap, but I'm not skilled enough to do that, so hopefully I can find someone to give it some TLC.

He went from a full on assimilated Borg and was the. in his uniform in his ready room 5 (show) minutes later. Pretty much all healed up. I feel like they could have done 1 if not 2 more episodes on Picards recovery, Picard thanking them for their attempts to rescue him, etc… just seems like a missed opportunity to go in depth on the main characters physical recover

I can’t recall if the Romulans were into torture and mutilation like the Cardassians, but whatever he was shown always makes me feel uneasy.

I mean just look at that face.

Q is back to give Picard a headache in another little scene from my Lego Enterprise-D set - instructions are available on Rebrickable. It was fun researching the available Lego parts to make this version of Q based on his outfit in Encounter at Farpoint. Appropriately, the red robe comes from a judge minifigure!

I may need to design a more appropriate set to display Judge Q... Watch this space! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the minifigure.
