05:32 The line "It is Green" is a tip of the hat to TOS, and the episode "By Any Other Name", where Scotty is in a situation involving alcoholic beverages and an Alien, and he utters the exact same line. The scene is a classic.
12:45 Montgomery Scott is the only one who had the Engineering prowess to 'come back'.
There's a reason he was known as " The Miracle Worker"; he's done things you've seen, and haven't seen yet!
Yes, the Kelvan in the purple jumper!! I loved that little homage!
Everything great started with TOS.
Oh man that scene with Scotty on the Bridge just hit me hard in the feels having just losing Nichelle Nichols. 💔😢
😭😭😭😭❤
It's just a gorgeous and sad scene. I actually think bringing back the old crew might've been too ghoulish and also fanservice-y; better to just have the empty version for him to reflect on, all alone :(
Don't worry. They are in heaven. No reason to be upset.
Yeah, this is one I've been looking forward to. Jimmy Doohan gave a fantastic performance, and the appearance of the classic Constitution class bridge was icing on the cake.
100% agree with you Wyld.
Thank god this wasn't in the modern era you know they wouldn't have recreated the bridge they would have tried to make it look modern.
@@hayesc0I actually really like how Strange New Worlds (and I assume discovery but I haven’t watched that and don’t particularly want to) modernized the bridges and the TOS tech in general while being a lot more faithful to the designs than the Kelvinverse movies, for example.
It is heart-breaking and awesome.
@@hayesc0 I don't think they would've done that for THIS scene, which was specifically to evoke Scotty's own memories.
But yeah some redesigns are better than others.
RIP James Doohan, RIP Deforest Kelly, RIP Leonard Nimoy, RIP Majel Barrett... And of course now RIP Nichelle Nichols. Here's to ya lads and ladies
Amen. And add to that, RIP Freeman Dyson, he died at age 96 right at the beginning of the pandemic.
The irony is that all of the major members of the original cast who appeared on TNG (Doohan, Kelly, Nimoy, and Barrett) have also passed.
@@Ambaryerno, no, not all. William Shatner, Walter Koenig and George Takei are still alive.
@@sarahfullerton6894 Shatner, Koening, and Takei didn't appear on TNG.
So, trivia time; you might notice that James Doohan is missing part of his right middle finger; it was amputated after he was shot by a nervous sentry a bit inland from Juno Beach after nightfall on D-Day.
Yeah isn't this one of the few times that they didn't use camera tricks to hide it.
@@cliveklg7739 And yet I still never notice.
But the flip-off finger is the most important one of all!
Re: Transporting through shields.
Now, I understand that it was an honest mistake and I am not trying to make excuses for the writers/producers. However, I had noticed that error when I first watched the show but there is a good way to explain it:
In the episode The Wounded, Miles O’Brien had to transport aboard his former ship to talk to his former Captain who was attacking Cardassian ships. Miles said that it was an older model of Starship which had a flaw in its shield which he could exploit and did so.
Scotty’s shuttle is a much, much older ship on top of being a very small and less powerful vessel than that other Starship (plus, it was damaged in the crash). It is quite possible that such an old ship with 75 year old shield technology might not have been strong enough to protect against the Enterprise-D’s transporters which were more recent technology and quite possibly much more powerful.
Pure head-canon, I grant it, but I think it would have been perfectly acceptable had they come up with that reason even after making the mistake.
It's not a matter of a flaw, it's a matter of knowing the exact frequency harmonics of the shields. Now, an opponent wouldn't know that but an engineer would know the specifications of their own fleet's shield technology. Scotty and LaForge could have given the Enterprise the exact details of the shield cycle so that they could beam them through the shields, something an opponent would never know and hence wouldn't be a weakness.
The graphics show the shields fluctuating. Geordie and scotty would diverted power to the shields where the doors push. Shields failing and power diverted would create large gaps in the coverage midships that transporters could use.
@@dlejon1044 that was always my head canon that the shields were fluctuating and failing so they just found a gap in the shields to beam through.
Doohan suffered a number of health problems later in life, which included Alzheimer's *and* Parkinson's. I remember hearing on or just prior to his death that his wife said there were times it was so bad he couldn't remember who *she* even was, BUT.. he still remembered how excited he was when he first got the job to be Scotty and his time on the show. After his death, and now Nichelle's, the ep means so much more now.
And apart from being the present-day head engineer for the Enterprise, Geordi often seems to be the one on the show who's most inclined to empathize and connect with others in spite of obstacles and friction, sometimes more than Troi for whom it's her job and physiological ability.
This is where most of us learned what a Dyson sphere is.
This is what I love about Star Trek. You can actually learn a lot from it, whilst being entertained at the same time.
When Larry Niven came up with the idea for his novel "Ringworld" he realized that building only a ring around a star would provide enough surface area for the population as well as enough energy as well, not to mention far less mass to be built from.
Yup.
It's where most of us "regular folk" learned about a Dyson Sphere.
Yep! I originally thought it was a ball shaped vacuum cleaner.
Scotty's older appearance is much less of a surprise if you've watched the Original Series movies.
I was glad they still appreciated seeing him as a character despite just seeing a few episodes. I think the movies are a bit more consistent showing his personality, whereas you could easily have more of an "oh that guy" reaction if you've just seen a couple TOS episodes.
Hooray! This one!
Scotty: (tipsy): "The android at the bar said you could show me my old ship. Let me see it."
Computer: "Insufficient data. Please specify parameters."
Scotty: :"The Enterprise. Show me the Bridge of the Enterprise, you chattering piece of . . !"
Computer: "There have been five Federation ships with that name. Please specify by registry number."
Scotty: (with care and deliberation) "NCC. One, Seven. Oh. One. No bloody A, B, C, . . or D."
Computer: "Program complete. Enter when ready."
Great line here. Not so great in Star Trek Timelines, where it's the longest voice line on a card, and it wears out its welcome quickly.
Program.
@@DeltaAssaultGaming Oops!
Edit: Ah, now, there's a distinction here. Is the scenario presented within a holodeck a program - as in a computer program - or is it as in a television programme? Because I was using Anglo-English, as I'm from the United Kingdom. If the latter is true then, essentially, I'm using the correct Anglo-English spelling. If the former, then a holodeck presentation is referred to as a computer program, as in computer software, so it is the same in both American and Anglo-English. American English makes no distinction with the spelling of a television programme or a computer program. Scotty's ancestral Scots would use 'programme' when referring to a representational/theatrical or televisual programme. The computer, however, is speaking with an American accent. My own view on a holodeck representation is that it is a programme, using my country's language. If that is what it is, then within our own culture's linguistic parameters, we are both correct.
Lost in all of this: Doohan was acting against an old friend: Enterprise's computer was voiced in TNG by Majel Barrett, who played Nurse Chapel in the Original Series.
@@Ambaryerno And Number One in the pilot episode and, of course, Lwaxana Troi in TNG.
This has been the ONE I have been looking forward to the most! It’s my absolute favourite TNG episode.
“No Bloody A, B, C or D!”
always thought that was an odd line seeing as he served on the Ent A (and Ent B too, but Generations hadn't been written at the time of Relics)
@@OldManFerdiad I think the point is that there's nothing that even Enterprise A doesn't compare to the original, as she was the first ship he served on as chief engineer.
@@Ambaryerno I'd rather serve on a retrofitted original TOS Enterprise than the A, B, or C. I like the D and E a lot, though.
The "it's green" scene is a call back to this scene from TOS:
th-cam.com/video/FWEDZFoLmyA/w-d-xo.html
8:23 he was stuck on purpose, in order to saving himself from death. It was not an accident. This is why, in my view, he wasn't scared to use the transporter again.
Computer Voice: There have been five Federation ships with that name. Please specify by registry number.
Scotty: N-C-C-1-7-0-1. No bloody A - B - C - or D!
Data: It is green.
Automatic like even before watching the reaction. Scotty was my favorite character from the original series, and this is a favorite episode.
For some reason, even though I know it's not that amazing, I just love the computer just deciding not to argue with Scotty's incredibly grumpy drunk way of giving commands 😆
The shields thing is something I've always attributed to being the large disparity in technology between a 75 year old freighter and the Starfleet flagship.
I'm sure the shield rotation frequency for that ship is easily referenced in the databanks. Wouldn't be hard to squeeze a transporter beam between refreshes.
Shields where fluctuating a lot so it would have possible to beam though the gaps.
The Dyson Sphere concept really blew my mind, irst time seeing this. A planet inside-out, its inhabitants living on the inner surface, with a sun in the center? Staggering.
They released a game called Dyson Sphere Program which you mine resources and eventually build one. It was fun reading comments from people who hadn't heard of it, and I felt a little smarter knowing that I knew about it from TNG
@@TheNoiseySpectator Yeah, I don't know a whole lot about orbital or gravitic phystics, but it does seem like such a vast hollow mass, above and below the ecliptic would tend to skew things.
More like many millions of planets inside out :)
Not all of his friends are dead ... although probably still on Romulus working toward unification, Spock is still around. Also, after you watch original series The Trouble with Tribbles (if you haven't already), you should check out the DS9 episode Trials and Tribble-ations.
Sulu might have still been around too. There was mention in a later series that he was the mentor of a first officer of another famous Starship. But that's a big maybe. Keep in mind it was only a few years earlier they had Admiral Leonard McCoy on the Enterprise D
The sphere is one of the largest artificial constructs in fiction, if I recall.
In this comment I'm writing a fiction that is millions of larger spheres inside each other nesting doll style. Sorry, now it's extremely far down the list.
You have amazing fans. I've been a patreon supporter on and off just to see the full episodes of some of my favorite episodes. Every time I see you fan girl over call backs and other stuff you should know that this is set up by your fans voting. No one tells others how to vote, they all just know what to pick. You are quietly being herded through all the hoops that you need to see in order to achieve maximum enjoyment of all callbacks. Even Paula is sometimes confused why your fans pick the episodes they pick. Trust the force and let it guide you! No, wait, that was star wars!
It's mind boggling to think about how big a Dyson Sphere is. A sphere built around a star with a circumference that's approximately the distance of the Earth from the Sun. Larry Niven created a scaled down version in Ringworld that was basically a belt around a star. Just that had the interior surface of a million Earths. Compare that to what the interior surface of a Dyson Sphere must be.
As for transporting through the shields. Maybe they had the frequency of the shield harmonics which let them use the transporter.
I've heard that, to the extent Dyson was even serious about the concept, he imagined it more as a lattice of some kind that would be constructed rather than literally building a continuous solid shell around the whole thing.
That said, for softer sci-fi...why not!
The green alcohol is a call back to a classic episode of Star Trek
th-cam.com/video/FWEDZFoLmyA/w-d-xo.html
Probably the best part of the whole episode, and it featured Data being very funny as well.
Miles O'Brien already established one could beam through shields with the right knowledge/skills. Refer to 'The Wounded.'
I didn't hear no Miles on duty in the transporter room!
Yeah, this is one of my favorite episodes, especially being an engineer myself. By this time in TNG' original run, I had seen a few of the TOS movies, so I knew this was going to be a good episode. I also got to watch this episode the day James Doohan died.
I also feel bad as the "It is green" is an homage to a scene in TOS where the Enterprise was taken over by an advance race (the Kelvans) from the Andromeda Galaxy. Scotty's mission was to get one of the Kelvan's drunk and they ended up drinking everything he had until he found a green drink and didn't know what it was. I didn't see that episode until MUCH later in life, and it makes the moment so much more fun knowing where it came from!
I do wish that modern Trek would catch up with the Kelvans though, but alas, they are still one of the many forgotten plot treads of TOS.
R.I.P. James Doohan. Scotty is iconic in all of sci fi
Well, maybe there's still time for _Star Trek: Kirk_ so every single loose plot thread can be mined to death.
As others have noted, the TOS episode "By any other name" is a great watch with plenty of humor. It showcases Scotty and originates his use of the line "It's green."
I didn't realize how popular this one is. I studied Engineering in part because of Scotty
14:30 Kind of neat to see the reaction of someone who only knows Scotty from TOS episodes from the '60s. In reality Jimmy Doohan sported the moustachioed look on screen since "The Motion Picture" came out in 1979, and the white turtleneck and black vest costume he'd worn in "The Voyage Home" (1986), "The Final Frontier" (1989) and "The Undiscovered Country" (1991); for fans at the time his physical appearance wasn't surprising at all, and we knew who he was _immediately_. 😄
Especially as "The Undiscovered Country" was released less than a year before this episode aired. Rewatching the show now, it isn't always easy to remember that these episodes aired in way back in 1992...
James Doohan was bona fide hero; fought on the beaches on D-Day; got wounded, re-trained and went back into combat. That scene with the whisky always makes me think of my mother. She was in the Women's Land Army during WWII and always used to say about the Cider that kids drank that a glass of the Cider they used to drink when she was young would knock them out for days." Met George Takei & Nichelle Nichols and Spock's Dad told the first dirty Star Trek joke I ever heard, but I never got a chance to meet Jimmy Doohan; always regretted that. Feels like so much of those days is disappearing; me and my sister fighting over who would get their hands on Spock; the 'special soup' she threatened her kids with if they didn't sit down and watch Trek with her and the memories of our parents that the stories of Jimmy Doohan would evoke. I'm getting old too, kerk hiraeth
When I was a kid I used to think Scotty was played by 2 different actors so you're not alone. Concerning the shields, I always figured the guy at the transporter prepped it up then hit the transport button when the torpedoes took down the shields and he used that split second window of opportunity to beam them out.
The continuity error with the transporters can be easily resolved. As long as you know both the shield frequency AND the transporter frequency, you can transport through Shields. I believe it's ship dependant on how old the transporters are.
IIRC the TOS Enterprise set was actually from a fan's garage because they'd taken the time and effort to make it look as authentic as possible. I think the captain's chair was actually from the original set but everything else was painstakingly recreated.
This was one of my Favourite Episodes. Loved your Reactions to it. Paula's smile and Katrina's shock. Brilliant.
A good Geordi episode. They're kinda rare, but when they're good, they're great.
After Nichelle has passed......"Here's to you lads"
My brother my cousin and I, when we were little kids, begged my mom to make us Star Trek costumes. My older brother wanted Gold of course, my cousin loved Spock and science so he wanted blue, but I wanted a red one because I loved Scotty’s character and I loved mechanical things and engineering. Scotty’s character was beloved because he was loyal, fearless, funny, A little reckless but he always came through in the clutch. Where on TNG Data and Geordi bounce ideas off each other to figure out a problem with the ship, Kirk told Scotty “fix it”and Scotty basically jury rigged his way to make it work. So it was brilliant Way to bring Scotty into an episode and I thought they did a fantastic job paying homage to him and TOS while making a great TNG episode. Fantastic reaction as always look forward to more!
The Enterprise D can beam through 75 year old shields, no problem.
I remember when this came out and James Doohan appeared on the pad. You knew it was a good one about to happen. Seeing the 1701 OG bridge gets you in the feels. Good to know Paramount sorted it out character interactions sometime in the future. Or is that the past... ;)
Kat, you warmed this grumpy old man's heart. Cheers
Great Scott! What a lovely episode! The "It's green." bit with the mysterious alien whiskey is a callback to a Scotty gag in the Original Series.
Hm, to "Great Scott" now, or save it until Star Trek III...
Data's "It's Green/It is Green" is a direct callback to a line said by Scotty in TOS while drinking a Kelvan under the table 🍻 🏴
I'm sure someone's already mentioned it, but Data's line "It is green" related to the Aldebaran whiskey is a quotation of a line of Scotty's from a TOS season two episode, "By Any Other Name".
Thank you. I was about to mention that.
I gotta say, this is one of my favorite reaction series lol. To see you two give this series the appreciation and attention it deserves is so enjoyable. I grew up on this show, so this is a real treat! Time to watch more of your videos! I’m in! You two are great lol
Definitely glad to see you both react to this one! Such a classic which always brings tears to my eyes. It was funny seeing you slowly realise it was Scotty, as I’m guessing you’ve not seen the TOS movies with him older (that’s the same uniform he used to have back then too!). I seem to recall they only rebuilt about half of the TOS bridge, as that was all they needed for the shots. The initial shot of the complete empty bridge when he walked in was from an actual TOS episode. They actually brought out an entire novel of this episode, which I’ve probably got somewhere. It expands the entire story, with the Enterprise-D crew going down to the surface of the Dyson Sphere, including the crewman who showed Scotty around his quarters. Finally, I still ALWAYS love that shot of the Enterprise-D rolling onto her side to squeeze out through the door at the end! It used to be so rare to see them do big moves like that back in those days when they used physical models.😀👏😎
Katrina's reaction to Scotty wanting to go to engineering was classic.
One of the best moments of the episode is when the ensign on conn (extra) spins the Enterprise to get out of the sphere .
I always chalked up the shields thing to it being that the ships shield were A really weak holding the doors open and B, they were really crappy 100 year old shields that the Enterprise's transporter had no problem beaming through.
Scotty's salute to the old crew is all the more sadder, now that Nichelle Nichols had passed away.
I loved his line to La Forge -- "You told them how long it'll actually take?!"
This was a great reaction.
You two give great reactions! Plus, the lovely lady on the right (sorry I'm an old UK guy) perhaps you could play DeAnna in cosplay if you wanted to? :)
Katrina (Kat). They should consider a paired cosplay - I find Paula a good ringer for Crusher.
I still find it funny that Scotty and Worf didn't get along even at the end, the way they stare at each other as they walk past each other still makes me laugh.
@@TheNoiseySpectator Probably because it's not in the reaction, people who would noticed remembers that detail in the episode.
Dyson never speculated a true solid would be a dyson sphere...but a chain of satellites.
I don't understand synthahol. If I'm drinking it's to get the buzz or flat out drunk or else I'd just drink something that taste better than alchohol.
You can get drunk, but you can shake it off.
And maybe it tastes better :P
Like Rich Evens once said, the thing about Geordie is that he is the one character that you think might actually be your friend if you found yourself in the star trek world.
You Girls are amazing! Watching these episodes through your eyes has provided me with a new viewing experience I never expected to have.. it's like watching it for the first time myself all over again ... vicariously through you 2.
There have been handwaves for shield up beaming before, but yeah, they should have used one (this would have been a great one for Chief O'Brien to show his stuff, right?). That scene with Scotty, which they basically did with bluescreen and a fan made center console and Captain's chair, is known to cause what TV Tropes calls either Manly Tears or Inelegant Blubbering in some people. (I mean me. Some people is me.)
Maybe you can beam from one starfleet ship to another starfleet ship with Shields up because they know each other's shield emitter frequency or something. Obrien did that in the episode "the wounded"
@@MichaelJohnson-vi6eh I concur. There's even a TOS episode which I kind of want the Gals to check out because of multiple reasons, one of which involves beaming even though shields have to be up. (Someone tell me if this isn't vague enough.)
I know novels are their own thing and everything, some people love em and some don't..but there's a series called the Corps of Engineers that is amazing, about a special unit ran by Scotty that is comprised of advanced ships and engineers that come in and solve problems. It had Duffy and Gomez (The girl that spilled hot chocolate on Picard..lol) from the Enterprise as well, fun little series.
Lefler was in engineering too, right? Better bring her in on it too!
That classic Enterprise set came to "Paramount's King's Island" amusement park in Ohio. I went to visit it back then. There were other props and costumes there too. There are Enterprise sets used in fan films today in Georgia and New York.
a f*cking beautiful tribute and an awesome Next Gen episode. Thanks for your reactions
With regards to the stache, James Doohan started sporting it in The Motion Picture and through the TOS movies.
I like the throwback line to the TOS episode ""By Any Other Name". Always like that episode. Forget if you two have reacted to it yet.
They have not.
9:10: Kat's face says it all! Dyson Sphere! Just give her brain a few seconds to catch up....
And James Doohan is just brilliant! 😁😁
To recreate the original series transporter effect, a guy searched through storage and actually found the original material that had been used in the series.
Allegedly, there is a contradiction when Scotty says, "I'll bet Jim Kirk himself got the old girl out of mothballs to find me." It contradicts information that later gets established and that Scotty should've known. However, it is only a contradiction if it impossible for both to be true at the same time. What is true in this episode is that Scotty's pattern had minimal degradation, which might have disrupted his normal mental path to certain memories. Memories that would've been jogged by their off-camera explanation as his mind reroutes access to those memories.
There is a very real contradiction that I haven't heard anyone mention. When they're analyzing the old Starfleet signal, you can see the bridge's upper window (is it called a skylight when you're in space?). The stars are static even though they're traveling at warp speed.
The Dyson Sphere!
I was always fascinated by the concept. I had never heard of it until this episode came out and, OfCourse, there was no internet back then (library) to look something like that up easily.
They could have made an entire show about the discovery of a Dyson Sphere.
I'm surprised I've never heard of anyone trying to do a Ringworld adaptation, which is a very similar concept. Of course, the actual storyline people might find a little unrelatable...
Since you both watch Original Star Trek and Star Trek TNG, here's a cool random piece of trivia; pay attention to the transporter on both sets and you will see that the transporter pad on TNG is simply the Original Series transporter but just flipped upside down.
Relics is one of my all time favorites from TNG. So glad you enjoyed it!
One can assume that the Genolan's shields were under considerable pressure and you see them fluctuate, that can create hole in those that a skilled teleportation operator such as O'Brian or his colleagues can use to transport someone off the ship.
In the 24th Century, shield modulation is so precise than the operator can create a window inside the shield (of the Enterprise that is) also so the ship doesn't have to lower shields entirely to transport someone, for that the window must be aligned on the line bewteen the transporter projector (yellow grid thingys on fore and aft most of the time) and the location of the destination or pick up point. Of course, that doesn't apply to the old Genolan.
❤This all the more has me hoping you’ll see more TOS episodes, and then catch the Original Cast Star Trek Movies way before the Next Gens.
How about bringing in DS9 during your TNG Season 6 watch? That’s how it debuted for us old timers. (Maybe from a curated list to start, thinking back on S1, but man, once that series does find its best footing and kick in, oh how it kicks in!)
I'm glad you all watched some original ST to give some weight to this episode.
The shields supposedly would be ineffective if the photon torpedoes or the transporter annular confinement beam were at the same frequency.
When he died, he wanted his ashes sent into space! From Techspot, "In 2012, the ashes of Doohan and 307 other people were blasted into space inside the SpaceX Falcon 9, part of a memorial spaceflight service."
They may have kept the Troy scene because Sirtis made them promise to never leave her out of an episode.
I'm pretty sure that's like standard contract for the serious regulars. There are several DS9 episodes focused on side characters where there's just like one random scene with the full command staff in it just so they can say everyone got their screen time haha. Modern shows I imagine the landscape has shifted.
@@jerodast Sirtis tells a story of being left completely out of an episode and Majel Barrett telling her to insist that never happened again.
The ending to this episode always bothered me. I mean, Captain Picard said in his log that they were heading for a Starbase so Scotty could have stayed on board until they got there. It felt like they were like "here's a shuttle, now go away." It didn't make sense. Other than that, I enjoyed this episode.
Yeah it was just odd. It's not like he was really expressing "gah I really wish I could just get off this ship" the whole time or anything. And why is Picard the only one who could give him a shuttle, there seem to be a decent number of private craft around - maybe he'd even like to build his own!
If you ever have the chance to see Marina Sirtis on a convention, please do so. You will be very happy! 😀
Marina and/or Jonathan, they're both really good in front of a crowd!
My favorite line in this episode: "Engineering?! I thought you'd never ask!"
"Beam me up, Scotty!" 😉👍
A sentence that was never once uttered in the show.
Aye Captain.
@@Quotenwagnerianer I know! ✌️
I always thought this episode needed a stinger, Picard asking Geordi to do something, Geordi pausing and giving an extended timeframe.
Ooh that would've been cute :) Great idea
This is the story I've wanted to see you react to the most during WW2 he was injured by an over nervous sentry after d day in Europe he was shot five time in the legs torso and hand losing middle finger. which you don't notice in classic stos as they shot a round this. But you do notice when he did an interview on TV in the UK on wogan when he reached our to shake the interviews Terry's hand.
Always remember.. we couldn't put up a rocket in 1960 without it exploding on the pad.. and by 1969 Neil Armstrong was jumping around on the Moon. Star Trek was filmed right at the peak of that momentum between 1966 and 1969. That future Gene Roddenberry showed in the original Star Trek was actually a reasonable expectation at that time, given the meteoric progress we had made.. we & the russians.. by then
read the book for this one as well. Its even more emotional. Great reaction. Cannot watch this one without emotions pouring through. Even more so now that Nichelle has passed on to boldly go..
Wrote this while you were still reacting. The shield thing can be explained, I think it was one of the movies they opened a loophole where shields will 'cycle' with a second or two gap. So, if you are extremely careful could beam thru them.
One of my favorite episodes.
Such a great episode. I remember seeing it for the first time “Surprise! Scotty!”
YAYYYYY!!! SCOTTY'S HERE!!!! This is such a Fantastic Episode!!!
I smile every time Kat gets teary. You guys rock. 😊
I loved seeing Kat tear up during the Scotty on the bridge scene. Believe me, girlfriend, we old farts watching this with you GREW UP with Scotty and that bridge and the tears were absolutely flowing when we first saw this!
Another quality cat relic video!
i.e. statue of MacBastet
Regarding the transporter/shield continuity question, clearly Scotty programmed the shields to flicker an opening for the transporters to work, keeping it brief enough to prevent the doors from closing. Or some other sci-fi technobabble retcon nonsense. xP
My headcanon on the shields is that it was a very old damaged ship, with older and weaken shields.
So its not unreasonable the Enterprise to get pass them.
A throw away line wouldve worked 'ive got to modulate the frequency to the shields to beam them out'
@@TheNoiseySpectator i didnt know that, thats really cool. Thanks for telling me.
Paramount should beg Lavar to do some kind of LaForge series once Picard is done.
This specific TNG episode always hits hard on nostalgia & when thinking about it also serves a great message.
Just because something or someone is old, dosent mean it should be discarded or dismissed...
With age comes wisdom & with old tech comes resiliance & watching old tech come to life with tinkering & a wee bit of Scotty like magic, botchery & old wise knowlegde combined with new tech...everything is possible.
In that moment I think Scotty, McCoy, and Spock were the only three characters still alive and sadly it'd be their three actors to go first.
wasn't Uhura also alive?
@@Nexusofgeek Not as far as on-screen/alpha canon goes. She is in Beta, but of course practically everyone is in Beta.
Technically Kirk was still alive as well but I didn't count him because he was still in the Nexus.
Fun fact: when Data and Scotty are in 10 forward and Scott asks "What is it?" and Data responds "It's green". It is the exact dialogue between Scotty and a Kelvan when Scotty is trying to get the alien drunk, in the classic series episode "By Any Other Name".
That scene with Scotty on the bridge of the Original Series Enterprise (NCC-1701 -- no bloody A, B, C, or D) where he toasted to his crew and friends made me tear up first time, no joke. Being closer to 50 than I was 30 years ago when I first saw this, I feel Scotty's loss far more than I did. The mix of nostalgia and sadness over better times was done so well.
Oh and I like the fact that they even had the special effects of the planets on the viewscreen too.
No, cutting the Troi scene is fine. He's Montgomery Scott, he sees a bartender for therapy, not a councilor.
Poor Troi, every time she could be useful, nobody wants to talk to her :(
I had a chance to meet Mr Doohan at a convention after this episode came out (I’d been a huge fan of TOS). In fact, the picture I had him sign for me was from this episode. Wonderfully nice man who chatted with high school me for a minute and was as kind as could be. Just watching this reaction, especially the part where he talks about Kirk and when he goes on the bridge, really got me teared up.
Classic episode. I do hope after you watch the rest of the TNG episodes you will watch the first 10 Trek movie's. Enjoy your reactions. LLAP 🖖
Time to Watch the Star Trek old movies ;)
The Transporter and shields thing can be explained by the Genolan being a very OLD ship, with shields that weren't as advanced as normal TNG ships, and that Scotty could easily have made a "Transporter gap" in the shields' Frequencies, which the much more advanced transporters of the Enterprise could use to get them out.
I JUST LOVE YOUR REACTIONS AND I STILL REMEMBER WATCH TOS BACK IN THE 70'S AND SEEING SCOTTY ON THE TOS BRIDGE TOASTING HIS FALLEN FRIENDS, MADE ME THINK THAT THERE ARE ONLY THREE ST TOS ACTORS STILL ALIVE, WILLIAM SHATNER (KIRK), GEORGE TAKEI (SULU) AND WALTER KOENIG (CHEKOV) AND I AM GLAD I MET ALL THE TOS ACTORS BACK IN 1991 AT THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY ST CONVENTION, WHERE I BOUGHT LOT OF ST CLASSIC NOVELS AND THEY EACH AUTOGRAPHED ONE, MR. SHATNER SIGNED THE BOOK CALLED CHAIN OF ATTACK WHICH WAS SUCH A GREAT BOOK I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE TURNED THAT INTO A MOVIE.
How to tell if someone's a real science fiction fan:
SEES SCOTTY: "A'ight, cool, nostalgia."
SEES INSIDE OF DYSON SPHERE: *loses mind*
now that you've seen this ep, there's was star trek comic story, i forget when I sqw it, but it has Scotty in the TNG era meeting up with an old friend at a Space station, Captain Morgan Bateson (From Cause and Effect), yes the Same captain who him, his crew and his ship "The Bozeman" wound up in that cozality time loop with the Enterprise. APparently, they were friends WAYYYYY BACK in the old Days!
I have looked forward to you to reviewing this video for a long long time and I'm glad it's finally here
The novelization of this episode is terrific 😊
I saw this in its original run and I can tell ya, Scotty walking onto that OG bridge hit like a ton of bricks even back then, when all the original cast were still with us. Same as when Adam West was The Grey Ghost on _Batman: The Animated Series_ when he sees that Batman grew up watching his old TV show and realizes that "It wasn't all for nothing." Knowing West's post-Batman career up to that point, as we all did...damn, that shit got you right in the feels, even back then.
The Constitution class bridge scene was filmed at the Star Trek set museum in Ticonderoga NY. If you're a Star Trek fan you must make that journey before you die.
