In the next film, Picard DID! 😂😂

Sounds like something that he would say and how he would say it.

Facts

I especially love it because just before saying that he pointed out that everyone else's judgement could be affected. Only to add that they are doing the right thing.

it would be funny if riker said don't eject the core and geordi did

where real men cried

That was a double entendre, too. Geordi was also referring to 'crapping himself' (figuratively), and Riker caught that reference. A little humor in the middle of a life or death situation is a very common coping mechanism.

I love how you can hear him entering the ejection sequence as he's saying "Subspace weapons are unpredictable"

the ensigns smile was pretty spot on too. alot of hot trills in star trek

Cdr La Forge had good lines in this one

I hate that line. Would Geordi really eject the core without authorization? Seemed out of character.

Honestly without him in the series it would of been weird and much worse

@@eXcommunicate1979 He knew Riker well enough to know what the order would be, given the circumstance and the distinct lack of choices available. That's why Riker smirked after Geordie's line.

@@eXcommunicate1979 I more interpreted it as he was already putting in the neede codes and as soon as Riker said "eject" all LaForge had to do was punch the "Do It" button before Riker finished speaking. It wasnt anything more than two senior officers who have served togeather now on three seperate ships knowing exactly how the other thinks and LaForge beijg ready when those extra seconds count.

That's why the effects during that scene look so good! I wondered about that. The CGI in this movie is mostly not very good, even for the time, but some scenes in the Briar Patch look OK. That explosion is epic, though.

CGI still can't do it better.

useless information that I am happy to know now. Thank you.

They should have just kept ILM. Didn't Paramount learn from "Star Trek V?" Bad things happen when you fire ILM (this time, it was allegedly because they worked on "Galaxy Quest" and Paramount has absolutely no sense of humor when it comes to parodying "Star Trek.")

From what I’ve heard, ILM was busy with SW Episode I at the time.

worf had some of thee best one liners, not just in Insurrection but through out TNG and the movies.

And in the next film, Picard actually does it! 😆

@@JustJay1281 DS9 had some of the best Worf moments where he ws literally carving through other Klingons and Jem 'Hedar. The episode where Worf reassures Sisko that if the Jem'Hedar First were to kill Sisko that he wouldn't live long enough to boast about it. Sisko approved. Worf had some of the best moments. 😀

Love how so unconcerned Worf is.

Actually, I recognize the joystick design: it's a Gravis PC flightstick, probably 1 of the Blackbird models from the 1990s onward. Gravis became a fairly big brand name in the PC game controller market, starting w/ their relatively humble 4-button gamepads & rapidly expanding (thanx 2 an aggressive marketing campaign) 2 joysticks, flightsticks & mice. For a while, they were giving the venerable market giant Thrustmaster (revered 4 their sexy "military accurate" FCS flightsticks as well as rudder control & HOTAS accessories) a run 4 their money. The Blackbird models were cool because they were both shorter & lighter than their Thrustmaster counterparts, plus they included a throttle dial control (which the Thrustmaster FCS did not; a separate HOTAS throttle was the only option if U wanted 2 avoid using your keyboard) & the more expensive models had a thumb-operated "hat switch" (basically a small knob which behaved like a directional pad). The most advanced Gravis model had a larger base unit & more buttons, but the overall design of the flightstick was the same. When I 1st saw this scene I literally LOLed -- because it was hilarious 2 think that 24th-century engineers designed a popup manual steering column 4 the bridge, then had the following discussion: Starfleet Engineer #1: Hey, the design spec calls for a multi-button ... "flightstick" ... which is supposed to mechanically extend out of & retract back into the top of the column. What the devil is a "flightstick"? Starfleet Engineer #2: Oh, that's old tech from the late 20th century thru the early 21st. I've got an old flightstick my family's been passing down for generations -- still works! Engineer #1: Seriously? Think we could incorporate it into this modern starship design? 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

@@zenkim6709 Specifically it is a Gravis Blackhawk Digital. I have the exact same one still hooked up to my old antique Win95 Packard Bell pc. Got alot of hours with that thing playing the likes of Descent and Descent Freespace.

I used to have one. And I laughed so hard when it popped up. Why mess with perfection. It worked 400+ years ago, it will fly the damn flagship just fine.

@@mycroft16 Hell, IIRC the US Navy uses XBox controllers to manouver search craft. If it works, it works!

If it works

Hahaha yep, that face that says: I'd like to be a son'a myself

Every damned time with Riker...he's like catnip.

Ensign Perim! Sadly RIP the actress, Stephanie Niznik. She died in 2019.

That Conn officer is like "you can shove something down my throat"... (too far?)

I'd like to trill her.

When he ain't readin' he leadin'... jaja...

Well he is the boss down there.

Agreed but he ejected the warp core without orders. He would never do that in the TV series

@@ChrisCamaro He absolutely would

@@LynxPrints Precedent?

And in the next second with the Enterprise swooping around that pocket of gas. The ship hasn't changed shape but suddenly it's giving off an attitude of "About time, Commander. Those bastards made me eject my warp core...I _liked_ that warp core!"

"If it doesn't, then they'll be teaching people at the academy not to do it for a long time to come!" Damn DVD releases always being different from the theatrical.

There is only one Riker maneuver. And this isn't it. 🙂

@@user-bi3di3rk4lthen what is?

I loved when Riker said, We're through runnin from these bastards".

Given the dystopian depressing USA party political episodes of Picard and discovery being led by a character more annoying than Nelix and early Westley Crusher combined ...I'd take this TNG in a second The bar is so low now

Generations was more of an extended TNG ep, with the same ship and uniforms as the series. Soran had fused the chip into Data's neural net, which became a weakness the Borg Queen was able to exploit in First Contact so they must have found a way to remove it.

Just the Jerry Goldsmith score elevates the TNG movies from feeling like extended TV episodes.

I could not have said it better!!

@@ryancarroll3957 I'd even watch Nemesis again versus the garbage that Kurtzman and Co. have been pumping out. I gave Strange New Worlds a chance and of all the current Trek it was borderline watchable.

Gates was gorgeous. But the worst of the bunch. Now she's creepy looking and honestly, not one single ounce better of an actor she once was. Actually, I think she's worse now.

When they do that for 20 years together, that's how it works

Agreed they are like a lovely family, the Waltons,not the Addams 😂😂😂

So true.

I laughed out loud when he said that

Not that we care about such things in this day and age... Uh-haah...

@@Grimlock-ry8fg I do so - 1 for you !

I'm sure Gene said that line to Susan Sackett on a few occasions back in the day.

I mean, to be fair, it's Roddenberry, he just might. XD

The E has such an iconic shape... it manages to look sleek and graceful, but with just enough edge and presence that you know you don't want to mess with it.

​@@mycroft16 The fact that it has the firepower to blast apart basically any for makes it much scarier

They may taken a few punches in the first round but now they got their second wind and going all out.

That's her "I'm through running from these bastards" expression.

Most of the effects are CGI including the Enterprise. I personally don't think they hold up too well, but YMMV.

Uhhhh that sequence starting at 0:29 looks like it's from a Playstation 2 game. The rest of it looks OK, but *definitely* dated.

Pretty sure a lot of the space scenes still use a model. When the ship had the explosion that didn't look cgi at all lol...

It gets extra flack because it’s a romance story for Picard … and a tale of how evil fascism is … the fascist element of the fan base aren’t getting the usual emotive erections they desire … so it gets slaughtered!! 😂😂👍🏼

its the fact its glorified tng episode and not a very good episode to begin with

It feels like a long episode rather than a movie. However it's not as bad as others remember it. Due to First Contact being so good, it set the bar so high for the next film.

I don't think the script was anywhere close to the level of TNG. TNG never relied upon war like scenes, CGI with big booms, to drive plot. TNG scripts were based on ideas.

Same. I enjoyed it more than First Contact or (shudders) Nemesis. God Nemesis was awful.

"I have a throat"

@@isodoubIet HAHA! Perfection.

Get yourself a partner that looks at you like that.

They should have used a different design for the manual control. It looked like Riker was playing a video game in the middle of the battle. And the way he had to lean over to use it looked awkward.

Wtf was that shit at the very end? 😂

PLOT Torpedoes

Well, torpedoes do have a range of millions of km and can be fired at Warp too. Also bear in mind that full impulse couldn't be used. If we assume that maximum impulse is around 74 000 km/s (could be higher in normal space) then it stands to reason that torpedoes wouldn't necessarily have similar speed limitations as starships... they are after all launched at faster velocities and wouldn't need to worry about speed limits inside the Briar patch... so, there's that. Phasers on the other hand I think are limited to 300 000 km range.

Remember: Bullets (or missile) are faster than planes. Rule of air combat. I guess torpedoes are faster than ships too.

They needed to fly slow AF and only being SLIGHTLY faster than the E that moment, thus they would have needed time for that. The torpedo? Doesnt care if it would blow up or not sooner or later so them run at full speed all the time. Wich the sona soon after did too to catch the E again, bombarding her with torpedo's in the meantime. Sad that the E couldnt fight to 100% in the briar patch... otherwise them sona would have ben toast XD

Even the Intrepid class has it. I do not think it was ever shown on Voyager, but if you look at pictures of USS Voyager from below, it is obvious.

Its one of those "features" that was added after the question was asked, "Why dont other ships have a Captains yacht?" I really dislike retroactively adding things like this to past ships. Same thing with, for _some_ reason, most past Federation ships now being able to separate their saucers, despite it never being mentioned before, let alone seen. Its just stupid as all it does is make the lore a mess riddled with holes.

@@SvendleBerries Except it wasn't added in retrospect, the Galaxy class always had it, and can be seen in certain shots, same with the Intrepid class. The only reason it was never seen in an episode of either was because of budget.

​@neq825 I believe Voyagers is called an Aeroshuttle and it used at least once I think? Could be wrong tho. It's basically forgotten once they get the Delta Flyer

@@farsaber It was never used in the show. Though a CGI scene of it detaching was made by production. I like to think they stripped it for parts the first couple of years. Though a throwaway line saying this when they built the Delta Flyer would have been nice.

I thought you were pretty good on the Royals

I only JUST FOUND OUT that a lot of people don't like this movie, which surprises me since I've enjoyed EVERY SINGLE Trek film in a different way... And THIS ONE is just one of my favorites. Hoped you enjoyed the rewatch. :)

​@@TFZ.Every Star Trek? How about Discovery or the JJ Abrams movies? I'd be surprised, considering all the fan hate that just pours out of those IPs in every single appearance. I didn't mind parts of either.

@hyacinthtiger62 I actually haven't SEEN discovery... I HAVE seen the Abrams films though, and while I certainly wouldn't PERSONALLY call them "TREK" in the same way I would call the others, I also found things about them I liked. (I think I liked the second one best...)

All love is unreasonable. That's sort of the point to it.

Strange New Worlds is bringing a more lighthearted touch back to Star Trek.

It's getting better with Strange New Worlds.

Well, at least you have Star Trek Discovery.

@@danieldickson8591 Darn Skippy! Heroes I can root for. Cause he looks like me.🙄

I think the Abrams film's were fantastic and brought a whole new generation of fans to the Saga.

OK, but Voyager, as a whole, was not exactly a high point of Trek despite some good points.

Not the best TNG Movie but it's still better than Nemesis and Final Frontier.

@@briansmith2739 Both Nemesis and Final Frontier were both a result of having to change the ending Final Frontier was a budget one and the original ending of Nemesis ending just didn't work due to time castrates they were unable to improve from an okayish ending sadly

F. Murray over the top performance ruins it for me EVERY SINGLE TIME unfortunately.

the CGI didnt age well at all. Yikes

most likely not since The Borg had no interest for the Baku and had other things to do than going after the Baku. Cannon Lore states the Borg had no use for them either or whatever utilities they could have seen of any value to the collective like the metaphasic healing properties and even if the Borg did come after them they would never have had any tacticle use for the Baku's metaphasic healing properties as a tool.

@@FLAME4564 there’s no canon mention of anything to do with the Borg assimilating the Ba’ku. I hate when people do what you’ve done and lay something down as fact when it’s bloody not.

@@1978rharris Seriously now The borg at the time of the events of Star Trek Insurrection were either too occupied in the delta quadrent or did not have any ships to send thru the nearest part of their transwarp hub to the alpha quadrent and even if they did it would take them a certain amount of time thru Transwarp to reach the Bakku and seriously mate Ive done nothing wrong u idiot.

@@FLAME4564 For the same reason the Borg haven't assimilated the Federation- because they're on opposite sides of the galaxy.

@@stefanschleps8758 Yes ma little spoiled kid. They did and had fun, imagine that. In 25 years, when I am dust and bones, some pisshead turns up and will say the same about your favourite movie Thomas the Tank Engine and friends. 🙄

​​@@rasikkom9605 Lmaooo, got eem! He was just an itch in his daddy's pants in 98.

Exactly. What happened to that "commence rapid fire with all weapons on full" order he called for when they were fighting that Husnock warship years earlier? Granted, they were hampered quite a bit by the Briar Patch in "Insurrection," but last time I checked, the Briar Patch gases would've had little effect on a full spread of torps.

@@ShaolinShadowStroke they would need to spin the Enterprise around cancel her forward momentum and accelerate towards the Son’a with fouled up injectors whilst burning deuterium, all in all it was less risky to run until the Son’a used the isolytic burst at which point they had to go on the offensive because they didn’t have another warp core to seal any subspace tears

There is also a diplomatic reason here Riker doesn't want to fire on someone who is technically an ally of the federation Dumping volatile gas infront of a ship would do nothing if the sonar didn't shoot a self inflicted destruction

@@jasonpeace1991 that too, he cain claim he was attacked but held back his response to merely releasing concentrated gas’s in their path that would have harmlessly dispersed had the Son’a not fired

@@jasonpeace1991 That makes a lot of sense. It's like when Worf took the Defiant into battle against the Lakota in DS9. You could tell he was pulling punches, which is almost unheard of for Klingons. He didn't want to injure fellow Starfleet officers if he could avoid it, even though the Defiant was being hammered early in the engagement. Captain Benteen didn't want to go all-out, either, which is why she balked when Admiral Leyton ordered her to switch from photon to quantum torpedoes.

I have downloaded a 720p and a 1080p remaster of DS9, they don't even look half as good as this!

Having you been watching Season 3 of Picard??

@@tdrewman oh man it was so good

Picard Season 3 was there.

The Sovereign class is such a perfect looking ship. Manages to mix the classic Enterprise look with the sleek lines and curves of the Excelsior and even Voyager. It looks fast and mean.

Almost eerie after just watching an episode of Picard that looks effectively the same but with much more gray hair and wrinkles.

Heck it looks better than when I saw it in the theater. Good times either way.

Except the lack of beard.

"I intend to shove it down the Son'as throats!"

Insurrection was halfway through the Dominion War, Nemesis was three years after.

They addressed that factor. Enterprise was needed for diplomatic envoy purposes to meet up new alliances during the war - plays dead center into Picard's proven ability as a diplomat. Enterprise was a high-brow ship, not one meant for the working class that were sent on missions in the war with high probability of never returning.

A DS9 movie was sorely missed. Imagine a feature length finishing up the Dominion War instead of...what we got.

This was the Enterprise participating in the Dominion War though.

KLINGON WARRIORS: "TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!" JEM'HADAR SOLDIERS: "VICTORY IS LIFE!"

Worf is hilarious and awesome

Props to Michael Dorn. The absolutely deadpan delivery sells the lines. "He wouldn't!" "Yes. He would." 🤣

@@mythigator7406 yes, it's perfect. And you know if a Klingon is telling you somebody is gonna ram you...they probably will lmao

The aesthetic created by Mike Okuda for everything from TNG onwards was for smooth, touch sensitive surfaces that can be reconfigured to the users preference. So it’s not like you can miss it. The tech just moved on from what you like.

Did they? I don’t remember that.

Those are standard polished chrome throttle quads, fresh from your friendly marine supply dealership.

@@Shadowkey392 No, the original series didn't have them.

No TOS did not have those throttles to go to warp, that was only in the JJ Ambrams movies, I'm assuming because JJ is a Star Wars fan and in Star Wars to go to hyperspace you move a throttle. In TOS it was usually controlled by button presses from the helm, navigation, or engineering; kind of changed based on whoever wrote the episode really. What you might be thinking of was for a brief period in the original pilot and sometimes in the first season where there were the grey viewers that looked like lamps at the various stations. As I was typing this though I just remembered the only time in the prime universe that Enterprise had a throttle was The Motion Picture, during the scenes in the first half of the movie Sulu uses a throttle to very gradually go to warp.

NEVER
