Right on! THAT is Star Trek. The modern shows (yuk) should take a cue from this episode, with big ideas, moral dilemmas, and dont tell you how to think, but give you something to think ABOUT. This episode, if someone has never watched it before, and I had to pick an episode to show them the essence, that would be it.

The line that hits the most for me is, "That action injured you, and saved me. I will not forget it." Data's true gift was crystal clear understanding of events. Riker was feeling guilty, and Data cut through it knowing that in the grand scheme of things, he did him a solid. Data is the realest one.

Data is the truest friend you could hope to have. His logic wouldn't allow Riker to wallow in self pity for the predicament he had almost put Data in, and he presented it to the sullen Riker in a way that evaporated his remorse and allowed him to see the nobility in his actions, when all Riker felt was his bitterness in being bound to the trial duty of taking a legal stand against his friend. So wholesome to see Riker beaming as arm in arm the two friends went to Data's party in that final scene. May we all have a friend like this❤️

@Tuning3434 3 ай бұрын

I do understand why they started with LeVar on the bridge. When TNG started, he was probably the most well know actor in the cast due to Reading Rainbow. But moving him over to engineering was amazing, they noticed LeVar was pretty good in the technobabble and having him the chief engineer really helped out to flesh out how well LeVar and Spiner gelled with eachother. Besides the obvious Kirk - Spock - Bones triumvirate (unavoidable, because a core element of the series design), I think only O'Brian-Bashir did it better (completely unexpected, but the actors and characters just clicked during the early seasons of DS9).

I have to respectfully disagree. They played it completely wrong. No way would Riker smile/get excited at the prospect of winning the case. He just got done explaining he has no desire to prosecute at all since Data is his friend. I guess they felt the need to be heavy heanded / completely over the top to make sure even the dumbest in the audience realized he found something, but in doing so they lowered Riker's IQ by about 100 points to borderline mental disability levels. If I was the director, I'd say show him curious about reading something big he has found, but then immediately go dark at the realization. Smiling is just completely out of place and out of character. One of the only few issues I have with this otherwise great episode.

'Ship shape & Bristol fashion' is a phrase meaning in good and seamanlike order with reference to the condition of a ship. The expression had its origin when Bristol was the major west coast port of Britain at a time when all its shipping was maintained in good order. Some Bristol born friends of mine were visiting the ST TNG sets when they were shooting this episode and got to meet Patrick Stewart afterwards. He's got connections to Bristol, having acted here frequently at the Bristol Old Vic theatre.

@nicholascross3557 3 ай бұрын

Fact is that the old port of Bristol, on the Severn Estuary, had a tidal fall of about thirty two feet, meaning that some ships broke their spars on the quays when the tide went out. To avoid this, the spars would be folded, literally inside the 'ship shape.' So while today it is meant as 'in good order' originally to be "Ship shape and Bristol Fashion" meant 'properly prepared.' Sincerely, a naitive Bristolian.

There's a building on the Pomona College campus of the Claremont Colleges which is called Oldenborg Center (the 'Borg for short), and it is a big cube and it is full of exchange students and international students, so nobody really talks to each other cuz no one speaks the same language, and people just sort of pass each other in the halls with their faces in whatever they're studying, but they all have the same goal in mind and are very serious about it... and apparently this image really stuck with some of the guys who were working on TNG, and they brought it with them and inspired the Borg of the Trek'verse.

The crazy thing about that scene is it was not in the original script. They told the writer (Melinda M. Snodgrass) that they had Whoopi Goldberg coming in that week (they suddenly realized she had to be in it to fill their contract with her), so quickly write her a scene to get her in this episode. So she wrote that Picard/Guinan scene.

There was an early episode with Data where it was shown, in a round about sort of way, that he had actual feelings and really didn't need the plot device that comes along later in the series. Data was captured and put in an illegal, private art collection. The evil Collector's female assistant, who has befriended Data, helps him escape and is murdered by the Collector in the process. While Data is pointing his phaser at the Collector, he is beamed back to the Enterprise. As Data is in the transporter's pattern buffer, the computer says that the weapon had fired and it was set to kill.

@lancebakore497 3 ай бұрын

I never viewed that as an act driven by emotion, but by pure emotionless logic. The collector was guilty of many things, and murder was the final atrocity that he would commit. As Starfleet and the Federation have no death penalty, Data was going to be sure that, to save others, he would execute The Collector and he would trouble no one ever again. Or Data was telling the truth that the prototype Mark IV Disruptor malfunctioned due to the transporter. We'll never know, and that's the beauty of science fiction: when it is well done, it allows the viewers or readers to draw their own conclusions.

It and the two parter Best of Both Worlds (which you ABSOLUTELY MUST watch) give a sudden, very real sense that the Federation can be utterly destroyed, and very quickly. The introduction of the Borg changed Star Trek, and raised the stakes drastically. Q Who and Best of Both Worlds are also required viewing for the film Star Trek: First Contact. I’ll also add that I’ve always interpreted Q’s purpose here as warning the Federation. You remember them looking at the ruined planet and saying it was identical to what happened to the outposts along the Neutral Zone? That strongly implies that the Borg were already on the Federation’s doorstep. If Q hadn’t done what he did here, it is likely that the Federation would have been caught completely off guard, and much sooner than any of them might realize.

So, the term “jumping the shark” refers to the show “Happy Days” when the character known as the Fonz infamously jumped over a shark on water skis in a particular episode. This signifies the point in a show or long-standing franchise when it defies logic and starts to go downhill. I mention this because in this season of TNG, Riker grew a beard and, coincidentally or not, the show not only improved from what came before, but gradually got better as the show progressed. Since then, the term “growing a beard” has become the opposite of “jumping the shark” regarding the quality of a TV show and/or franchise. Anyway, glad you’re still enjoying TNG.

Honestly, I don't really like the TNG movies. I liked how TNG ended with All Good Things.

@jowbloe3673 3 ай бұрын

Plenty of episodes that are better than the movies. Other than *First Contact,* I don't consider the TNG movies to be all that good (although I think she would appreciate Generations as well for obvious reasons).

@@jowbloe3673 Don't like Generations because of the ending. Don't like First Contact because while scary and fun and exciting, the story itself makes no sense. Yes, I want a bit of logic too. I do like Insurrection as it is the most TNG-like of the movies, but other people find that one lacking. Sure, it was less thrilling than First Contact, but it really did feel TNG, and maybe too much so, hence I label it as a TV movie special. Also don't like Nemesis because it lacks in storytelling and the villain is too generic.

Those were great episodes. The Measure of a Man is one of the best pieces of television I've seen. Browsing season 3, the episodes that catch my eye are: Yesterday's Enterprise - a great alternative world episode relying on Guinan and Picard Deja Q, because...Q Sins of the Father - an essential Worf episode The Best of Both Worlds - essential for the Borg and Picard

There is another "courtroom drama" episode in a later season. Season 4 episode 21. The episode is called "The Drumhead" Guest starring the great Hollywood actress Jean Simmons. Some great acting and very well written. Highly recommended with another great performance from Patrick Stewart.

@@admscotty704 I think she treated the first episode in season 1, which was 2 parts, as 1 so if she does that for all episodes that are voted on that have 2 parts, maybe we can fit in Drumhead?

@@admscotty704I was never a fan of the Klingon episodes in TNG. But I like the science fiction-y episodes and also I'm a sucker for any Barclay episodes, so if we're talking about season 4 I would add _Remember me_ and _The Nth Degree._

If you like episodes centered on Data you have to view 'The Offspring' from season 3. That episode alone show that the ruling on Datas 'humanity' in The measure of a man was 100 % correct.

I'm glad you're dealving into the ST-NG series, it's my favorite science fiction series. Data is probably my favorite regular cast member and Q and Guinan are my favorite recurring guest characters. Guinan is a mysterious and very interesting character and Q is a character that grows on you after a while. He reminds me of a trickster god. He doesn't necessarily mean humans harm, though his presence often causes danger. In any event, I'm glad you're doing this series. I hope you will watch an episode called "the inner light". It's in season 5 so it may be a while before you get to it but it's one of the most touching episodes in the whole series. It never fails to make me tear up.

And there's been multiple movies, TV shows, and even video games that reference the idea of stranded Japanese military post-WWII not getting the memo about the war ending. It's become quite a trope.
