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.

WHY ISNT THIS PINNED

There is an alternate timeline of redlettermedia, where it isn't a Star Trek fan channel, but instead Jay is around, talking to a Wizard about 80s horror movies.

That's a good episode. We can know about other timelines without cheapening the timeline we've been following. Just look at Rick and Morty

I'd say it was (it gets cronenburged). That's a problem with the storytelling elements of Rick & Morty as a series.

If Mike hates "Parallels", he's really going to hate "Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness"... if it ever gets made.

@LordMacKarl Rick & Morty is mostly a comedy and as such the plot is mostly a framework for the jokes. To me the multiple paralell dimensions do cheapen the story but does anyone even watches that show mainly for its plot, continuity, or themes anyway? I don't think anyone's enjoyment of that show is hurt just because the existence of potentially infinite versions of the characters makes their actions insignificant in a way. To me in a story that is meant to be taken seriously time travel, paralell dimensions and other plot devices of similar sort can be as damaging, if poorly executed, as those awful "it was all a dream" endings, all of them can make you think you just wasted your time reading or watching that story.

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.

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"!

I like that Rich gets a chance to talk more. We get a lot of Mike's perspective generally with RLM, which is good, but hearing Rich talk at length is a nice change of pace.

Ro and Riker vibes here. They pretend to not get along, but every now and then an alien wipes their memories and they perform energetic coitus for 6 minutes.

@@DistractedGlobeGuy there's no one I make fun of more than my best friends

good luck. they're not ALL gems.

@@PyrokineticFire1but a lot of them ARE gems.

Considering the end result, I'd say forehead bumps takes it by default.

Maybe I'm just tired of all the forehead bump aliens, but I like when Star Trek gets crazy with other species. I still like the Melkotians in TOS's "Spectre of the Gun" - disembodied floating heads that speak telepathically to each character in their native language and breathe God knows what. They are especially awesome considering this was Season 3 TOS when the budget had been slashed, they were airing during the "Friday night death slot", and Gene Roddenberry stopped caring. So many Star Trek races are bipedal humanoids who breathe oxygen and speak English. The Melkotians had none of these qualities.

all it needed, ALL it needed was a redistribution of facial features. and to not sit there twiddling its fingers (was the same kid in there? he probably didn't know how to act alien) it's the same shit with people bickering about 2d vs 3d animation, _just draw good faces_ and i'll enjoy looking at them for 11 to 90 minutes a pop.

Its so true though

@@gregbauer4433 funny that TOS, with their budget and time, had more original and diverse Aliens than TNG with all its seasons. TOS really went absolutely crazy with big blobs and disembodied things and weird gods or amoeba's. Although watching TOS it got a bit annoying after a while having like a dozen god-like aliens or aliens with near-god abilities of teleportation and whatnot.

Yeah I enjoyed that

totally

There's another practical reason: it would have required either hiding or de-aging Wesley.

Kudos to neither for missing the plot hole that makes the story impossible: Picard didn’t create the anomaly because the Enterprise never initiated a scan in the future timeline. Q created it. He wasn’t there to help Picard save anything or anyone. It was just another of his games.

Far scape

"At this rate, the sector will be completely filled with Enterprises within three days..."

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

I recently started watching it and loving it. And that would be great, as I'm a bit to scared of spoilers to watch this. But I'm also glad I'll have this as an nice way to wrap it all up once it sadly comes to an end.

Pleaseeeeeeeee.

Now THAT would be sequel to Plinket reviews we all are waiting for :)

could also do top eps of ds9, they might be into that too

You know if you let Mike, they will.

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.

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

@@MegaZetathey don’t like Klingon stories which shows they don’t know the first thing about Star Trek. Redemption I and II are the best episodes in the series. Now go and salvage what honor you have left

I would watch an entire channel devoted to Mike and Rich talking about Trek. Make it happen RLM!

My favorite internet movie-guys talking about their love of my favorite TV-series. An almost erotic experience.

@@katey1dog Have you counted how many red shirts actually died in TOS? It's only 25 or so.

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.

"... but what if I had stayed on one of the most successful shows in history?" - Also, probably, Denise Crosby

Yeah, I'm sure she wishes she had a do over on that, but can you really blame her. The whole first season was just horrid, and the only time they let her do anything it was to visit her rape planet or bone a "fully functional" Data. She should've gotten royalties just that scene alone.

Good riddance. Her acting was dreadful.

Considering how much Worf's character got crapped on over the years of TNG, maybe she wasn't wrong. ...probably woulda made more money though.

I can't blame Crosby for bailing instead of rolling the dice that TNG would do something interesting with her character.

But why is Mike's voice saying farpoint station over Rich's words?

I've never watched a full episode of Star Trek and still can watch a 90 minute video of Rich and Mike talking about it thoroughly entertained. That's incredible skill.

@@danstaifer2028 Because he said "Farscape" and not "Farpoint"...you didn't watch the video, did you? We know who you are...

@@Corbomite_Meatballs I know.... They made a joke about it. I was referencing the joke since he mentioned editing

Is it ?

Just like when Picard carelessly tossed into the rubble that kurlin nescar from the masters workshop

that is an interesting point. i don't think the episode takes a solid stance in nature vs nurture. they weren't blank slates; everyone remembered the skills necessary for their role. i don't know if the implication is that their innate nature is biological or that completely removing that nature would require a total erasure. having their identities forgotten forces them to rebuild their identity based on the instincts honed by past experiences, despite not remembering those experiences. they still remember the repercussions of facts, they just don't remember HOW they know because they can't recall the facts. picard still knows that diplomacy is the best victory even though he doesn't remember the ethics lectures at starfleet academy.

I don't think it'd be that controversial, neuroscience distinguishes between "episodic memories" (particular things that happened to you at a particular time) vs. other types like semantic memory (general facts, word definitions etc.), skill memories (playing the piano etc.) and various kinds of implicit associations and reactions (say, getting nervous in a particular type of situation that's caused problems for you before even if you can't bring to mind any specific episodic memories about past experiences). In the real world there are types of amnesia that mess much more with episodic memories than other types, so it does seem to have different neural circuitry than other types, and from the story it seems like that's what was going on here, we don't have to assume they were the same because they still had the same "souls" or anything like that. Another episode relating to what you're talking about is "Genesis", which a neuroscientist would be more likely to have problems with--the crew are all regressing into animals and Riker turns into some kind of proto-human, and Data says to Picard "His brain is much smaller, sir. I do not believe he can comprehend our language." But then they repair his DNA and all his knowledge and memories are back to normal. I wonder if that episode will show up on the "guilty pleasures" sequel they promise at the end of this video, totally ridiculous science but it does have some good creature makeup and atmosphere.

@@hypnosifl Neuroscience is pseudoscience draped in expensive grants, so it doesn't really matter what it "distinguishes"

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 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 KZfaq 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.

Pretty good episode!

I love Picard’s expression when he reads the novel and it starts with a dark and stormy night. He genuinely looks like he’s considering just leaving them in the hotel

I liked "The Royale" - it reminded me a lot of the TOS "A Piece of the Action" - the characters find themselves trapped in this goofy situation and fighting against it doesn't work, so the way out is just go with it and play by its rules until you win. One minor plot hole is how Data uses his strength to "load" the dice so he can win at craps. The dice should be as invulnerable as everything else in the place - if Data can damage them, why can't he smash through a wall to escape?

Feels like a vault in Fallout: New Vegas.

This is a “Podcast with Effort” - William Shatner

Give RedLetterMedia due credit. This isn’t a podcast. It’s a few videos on a topic. There is maybe nothing worse in pop-cult media than the sort of podcast that’s dedicated entirely to one TV show. Just endless dross and curlicues around an amount of content that can’t sustain it. It’s like those 5-hour rambling “review” videos about whatever 1.5-hour pop sci-fi movie.

That said, she probably SHOULD have stayed for at least a full season before bowing out. But watching other videos on how TNG was in those early days, they had to go through two years before things would shift to the better. Sadly, it was Gene himself holding things back until his death.

@@NickRaven Nah I think he's right. The deflector dish and engineering is more rounded like you'd see from Enterprise A. Excelsior Enterprise-B had this weird oblong rectangular bits going left and right of the sunken dish. The original Excelsior design is closer to what I think you mean, but even that had a more sunken deflector dish. Or am I missing a joke really badly?

They are _dying._

Yep, I was thinking this very thing as they mentioned Worf’s racism lol

That's... arrogant presumption

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.
