Loving the alternate names of each anomaly. :-)

Captain Janeway: "Alright. Let's get started before my headache gets any worse."

6:34 That episode actually addresses one problem I have with shrinking stories. That normal air would be literally too big for shrunken people to breathe. Lucky they got shrunken together with a space ship.

What about Worf's quantum fissure that bounced him around the Trek multiverse.

There's a missed opportunity on the TNG episode "Cause And Effect", they could've made a spin-off TV series about the USS Bozeman asjusting in the 24th Century.

The Nexus does not destroy planets - Soran caused the supernovas which altered the Nexus's path. The supernova shockwave destroyed the planet.

Soran lost his entire family to the Borg invasion of his home, then he gets a chance to get them all back... only to have it be snatched away. THAT is what drove him nuts. Thankfully, it didn't drive all the other El Aurians including Guinan nuts. What about the time that Sisko was stuck in time? And Jake had to die at a specific time for it to end?

I have a Star Trek poster magazine from the eighties about The Tholian Web. The opened out poster used to be hung on my bedroom wall, at art college. It's now folded up in a book case.

Technically, it’s not a “pre-Frazier” Kelsey Grammer. It’s before the Frazier series, but not the Frazier Crane character, who was in full character in the last few seasons of Cheers.

Why do people believe the Nexus destroys planets? The planet's destruction was due to a Level 12 shockwave from the star's implosion, not the Nexus.

That subspace fold in #2 has actually hit earth 3 years ago. For some unknown reason, it affected in the first place health care personnel, who had to act out their urge to sing and dance and make videos of it. I'm glad that this mystery is finally solved!

6:31 I suppose I should inform you that Kelsey Grammer had been playing Frasier since like 1985 on a show called Cheers. 8 years prior to his own show spin-off.

More anomalies for another top 10 list: - The Imaginary Anomaly (DS9: If Wishes Were Horses). - Type-4 Quantum Singularity (VOY: Parallax). - A sector full of anomalies (ENT: Anomaly) - Tyken’s Rift (TNG: Night Terrors) - Cosmic String (TNG: The Loss) - Quantum Filament (TNG: Disaster) - Hazardous Spatial Anomalies that caused floors and walls to fade (TNG: In Theory) - Unexplained Temporal Anomaly (DS9: Children of Time) - A void inside a spatial anomaly (VOY: The Void) - Dark Matter Anomaly (DIS: Season 4)

Those writers do love their anomolies.

This was a good list. I particularly liked the alternate names for each one.

The "In a mirror darkly" one certainly was a confuser, given how they managed to snag a future Defiant (NCC-1764) from another universe, considering we'd had experience of the mirror lands in TOS and DS9 being in a same-same timeframe, but somehow the interphase was not just a thing that turned ships green, but wibbly wobbly timey wimey'd them elsewhere too... :S

All systems stable 🎵 All systems stable 🎵 The #2 anomaly is my favorite! So, I'm re-watching Subspace Rhapsody. 😄

TNG S2 E2 "Where Silence Has Lease" was just trippy. Nilem face just materializing in space was just unsettling.

This was a great read in article form. But Tom C. just adds that extra little something. Good stuff.

There was also the Voyager episode season 2 episode 6 twisted which distorted the ship.

Thanks for the chuckle I got from the alternate title of #5. I knew exactly what it was going to be as soon as I read it, and definitely needed the chuckle. The alternate titles also made me feel as if I was watching Police Squad. :D

Can someone clear up the All Good Things anomaly plot hole for me? The deal with the anomaly was that it was larger in the past and smaller in the future. The part I get. BUT, shouldn't it be still shrinking until the Pasteur creates it with the third beam, at which point it ends? Since Admiral Riker arrives further in the future after the third beam converges, shouldn't there be no anomaly for him to witness?

That 3 nacelle Enterprise D with the phaser cannon is awesome. A great military vessel alongside the defiant and a tweaked Texas class.

Only just started watching this but if the distortion ring from the voyager episode twisted is not in this then I am going to have a serious problem with this list. That thing literally rearranged the layout of the ship and uploaded and download a ton of info to and from the computer and head Janeway more than a little loopy when it made contact with her. if it doesn't qualify as a mindbending special anomaly I don't know what does

Let's get a part 2 that includes the Galactic Barrier and the Tykens Rift

Kudos to Jack Kiely for the highly amusing script! Excellent presentation!

I was starting to wonder when this list would feature a series other than Voyager. The Delta Quadrant is crazy...

The two that stick in my head that are missing are the quantum filament from Disaster, and the Void from The Void. I am sure there are others if I think about it. But I am guessing there will be a part two of this list.

Perfect video for Tom; always down to get wierd

Ahhh "Cause and Affect" one of my favourite TNG episodes.

In a Mirror Darkly was a brilliant tie-in with ToS's Tholian web episode.

Why not the "Ship that took a little trip" Anomaly

I bet there are countless events that twisted everything up temporarily -- but then were fixed so they never happened. And nobody wrote or depicted them so they'd be easy to miss...

Great video

Well done

5:34 Brilliant alternate name.

Never mind all that - why does Data have lights in his head under his skin? What is the point of them? Why don't we see light bleeding out of his ears when the room is dimly lit? Or his nose? Did Dr. Seung just make his head out of a parts bin? I'm no electronics expert, but if he “Light Emitting Diode” is basically just a specialised type of diode with similar electrical characteristics to a PN junction diode meaning an LED will pass current in its forward direction but block the flow of current in the reverse direction, then why not just use ordinary diodes? These are the questions nobody asks, for some reason ;)

"This IS Ceti Alpha V!"

I always had the question about the Bozeman. So for the Enterprise it was 17 days. for the Bozeman it was 90 years. So what was the Bozeman crashing into before the Enterprise showed up ? What was making the Bozeman continue in the loop for 90 Years minus 17 days ?

4:19 A ship-wide Tom Riker situation? And in a way not the only one on Voyager.

'Hello Starfleet, I'm listening...'

DS9 is my favorite but I never understood the Defiant being picked for a science mission, you know, the ship that has no science labs and is better served I don't know, fighting the actual war.

5:43 the solution is to Vent the main Shuttle Bay, not a precision tractor beam to hit Nacelle

What about the time Tom Paris made Transwarp and started changing. Then he kidnapped Captain Janeway in the crew found them both as early amphibians on a planet, but left too early to find out they had babies.

Number 5. The Groundhog Day Anomaly.

6:17 Temporal causality loop.. not casualty loop

temporal casualty loop? Don't you mean temporal causality loop?

My headcanon is that most these anomalies are caused by the effects of the Q Civil War running forward and backward through time.

OK, given that you made the twisted comment before you even started to list, that would definitely have to be on here. Another one would have to be also from Voyager that one where the guys shuttle from a couple hundred years ago got caught in that anomaly that jumps around the galaxy.

I like to think that the entirety of 'Picard' is some kind of 'anomaly'. I loved 'Voyager' (2nd only to DS9), and 'Picard' fairly ruined it for me. It's just my opinion, but I think the crew and passengers of Voyager would have been better off remaining in the Delta Quadrant.

Mercy! Toss salad, and scrambled eggs anomaly.

So glad the Delphic Expanse didn't make this list. :D

Is it weird that I now want to hear a Dr. T’Ana cats song?

The Sound of Her Voice DS9

Temporal 'casualty'? LMAO!

🖖

If there was an echo of Guinan in the nexus why wasn't there one of soran and once he made it into the nexus even tho picard and kirk went back , they stopped a version of soran not the one who got into the nexus.

How can you call this list "mind bending anomolies" without including the one from Twisted? The one where they were literally bending.

Nooooo! My mind is bended!!! I need a mind meld to help! Or Saurian Brandy! Or Romulan Ale! 🥹🥃🌎😮

I hope that heaven is like the nexus.

If you need help grokking temporal paradoxes, consider a (no pun intended) _nonlinear_ approach: Time isn't a line but an _orbit_ where perturbations are "chaotic" in the mathematical sense (some result in completely alternate histories while others just even out in the end).

Spatial or Spacial?..... that's the question XD

Voyager had way too many time and spacial anomalies, in fact way too much weird things happening. Enterprise is similarly plagued. More timey whimmy than Dr Who. 😁

Then, never to be addressed again. Yes I know they already did that list.

Add a comment...

Third, claimed my spot on the podium.

are you insane? You made that twisted comment at the beginning but didn't put twisted on this list? That is totally messed up.

CAUSALITY, not CASUALTY

Second live long and prosper everyone
