To be very honest, I have been a long time fan of Star Trek but I did not remember Scotty's identical scene. The connection between series and characters is stupendous.
I had watched this scene many times and didn't get the connection until I watch the scene where Scotty said it to the alien, which just so happened to be a few moments ago. It was a nice little aha moment.
I still find it ironic that Brent Spiner was so perfect as Data yet he made his career playing over the top characters. He himself is something of a clown in person. Yet he turned that into a dry emotionless android that he gave more personality than 99% of the characters on TV.
Data always had emotions. Always. There is no sapience without emotion. And Data is clearly sapient. There is no desire, no personal choice, no interest, without emotion. Data wants to be more human. Wanting something, however, is an emotion. He didn't have human emotions, maybe his emotions felt different or couldn't be felt consciously at all. But they were there.

I still remember when Hawaiian Punch had actual sugar. Then it had high fructose corn syrup (because "sugar" began to be considered a dirty word among middle-class PC suburban moms during the 70s, so it got replaced with HFCS which is much worse) and now we have that cancer-causing sucralose shit. Bring back the sugar!

I do love that Scottie initially dismisses Data as a synthetic Commander, but immediately warms up to him when he suggests raiding Guinan's liquor cabinet.
@@drmayeda1930 I can imagine Data's story on the matter. *Data:* It was rather intriguing. Captain Scott, lifted the barkeep like he was nothing and threw him across the counter. I had to sneak up behind him because he kept splashing synthoholic scotch in my face.
Data's quick facial expression after Scotty says "synthetic commanders" cracks me up. It's as if to say, "That comment intrigues me. I suspect it would evoke an emotional response if I were human."
I remember sitting there watching this episode the first time it aired. Knowing exactly where the writers were going, as Data was trying to identify it and say "It is... It is...", I was all "C'mon...c'mon...I know what's coming." And then when he gave the line "It is green." I was all "YES!"
This was indeed a funny scene... I remember him in TOS serving a drink to an Alien (I believe it was "By Any other Name") and mentioning the same thing to him, when the Alien asked Scotty for what it was: "Well,... it's... It's Green!" I laughed so hard then and I am still laughing today. I have had my fondest and funniest moments when James Doohan delivered his quips. How I miss the man, and how I miss Scotty. When will Scotty ever beam me up, I wonder...
I wish Scotty had returned to Earth and joined Starfleet in some honorary position. Instead he was given a shuttle, headed off into space never to be seen again.
*I wonder if he reunited with old McCoy and Spock* ^McCoy and Spock did reunite in the comics done by DC comics i think! Not sure about Mr Scott though!
Somebody who actually used all the old tech in a museum would be a hell of a curator. Some museum in the UK set up an old radar console from WW2, playing a looping recording made at the time for training. Nobody knew what it meant until somebody's granny came in who had actually used the set during the war and could still interpret the display
I love the call back to the old series, a similar scene played out with Scotty trying to drink an alien under the table. he was so toasted he couldnt recall what the alcohol was named so he just shrugged and just said the color of the liquor.

"By any other name." The episode the Kelvans hijacked the Enterprise, shrunk the crew down into styrofoam cubes and tried to take the ship to the Andromeda Galaxy.
"It is green..." Scotty's mind: this feels very familiar...nah, what are the chances that an android would say something that i would about an alcoholic with a hundred years difference between then and now.
...wait wait wait wait. "This is... it's green." Holy crap, I am now aware of what is quite possibly a very subtle Star Trek reference in Mass Effect 2.
Yeah,I like the way the alien,now drunk,asks "what is it?". Scotty then loooks & smells,says "it's green" & pours him some. Sucker didn't hit the floor till Scotty broke out a very old bottle of scotch!
I'm pretty sure most people who drink alcohol and or coffee do so because they enjoy the taste, the after effects are just a pro / con if enjoying the taste wasn't the main pleasure in the act they could simple drink a small amount of 60%+ alcohol or swallow a pure tasteless caffeine pill and go straight to the after effects xD
It's probably to keep Starfleet Officers able to do their duties at peak efficiency without intoxication hampering their ability. May i add, it's Synthehol, you missed an H in the middle.
Krister Andersson "Never get Drunk unless ya're willin' to pay for it." -Scotty Anyway, i guess that kind of view changes depending on what eyes you look through..
Eh, I'm not a fan of depressants. You'd see me getting barked at by Dr. Crusher because I snuck in and wiped out her entire cache of stimulants and precursor hallucinogenic compounds. "And more importantly! WHAT is my son doing with traces of LSD in his bloodstream!?" "Well, uh-- you see-- the traveler wanted him to expand his mind, right?"
I remember that episode...LOL! I remember thinkin' "Gee for an alien supposedly new to the human body he sure had an awfully high tolerance for alcoholic beverages"
The phrase "It is Green" is a Easter Egg reference to a older STAR TREK episode from the 1960's. In that Episode a Curious Alien Species had taken human form and was holding the Enterprise Crew at bay to observe and study them. The Aliens were wearing these Hi-Tech Belt Buckles which seemed to be the source of their power while onboard the Enterprise. It is during this time that Spock🖖 had observed that the Alien/Aliens were showing signs of Human emotions while eating some fruit, one Alien seemed to be enjoying the fruit so much that it seem to distract the Alien from his normal duties of observation. After seeing this Spock came to the Logical Conclusion that the Alien/Aliens had never felt emotions of any sort before and the now hijacked human form that they had taken was having an unexpected side effect making them feel...well human. This gave Kirk the idea on how they can gain the upper hand on their captives by distracting them and taking their belt buckles of power devices, but what distraction would work the best? Enter Montgomery Scott also known as "Scotty",who is not only is the greatest engineer on this side of the known Galaxy but also the Greatest Drinker the Universe has ever seen. Scotty informs Captain Kirk that he knows he can get the Alien Drunk and allowing for him to retreave his Magic Belt Buckle of Wonder, Kirk approves of the plan and so does Scotty. Back in Scotty' s quarters Scotty starts breaking out his collection of rare Human and Alien Alcohol and talks the Alien into joining him. The Alien already addicted to human emotion thanks in part to the fruit he had eaten earlier starts drinking. Over a course of a few hours they tear through Scotty's liquor collection at Warp 9 and Scottys running low on Liquor but continues to give the Alien everything hes got decides to opens his last two bottles. The last one was a rare bottle of original Scotch he was saving for only the most special of times but before he went to his ace in the hole he decides to bring out the other bottle first, a bottle that was a mysterious Alchole, Scotty knew it was Liquor but what kind and type was unknown. The Alien who was close to docking his ship in the town of "Pass Out" loved the names of each bottle and without missing a beat turns and asks Scotty "Whats that?" Scotty looks at the bottle and sees no lable, Scotty opens the bottle and smells no smell, Scotty pours a glass from the bottle and replies "It's Green" and they drink it. Type in TH-cam search "Scotty drinks a alien under the table" and the episodes scene should show up I left out the ending so you can find out what happens, a really great easter egg.
Am I the only one who thinks that Scotty would never call it 'scotch'? No one outside of America calls it that, and in Scotland it's always called 'whisky'.
+Warrior Nation Yeah because everything we do today will totally be done in 200-300 years. Same phrasing same everything. Why try to ruin fiction with facts? People are weird.
I believe they explained that in one episode as a controlled measure to prevent people from doing so. Hence why they have a barkeep that can manage supplies. I think it's for the best when you have a ship fully staffed, only to give them access to an unlimited supply of pure alcohol from the ship's replicators. I imagine it would lead to performance issues.
Ingen Ting no, the replicators safety programming bans creation of drinking alcohol in the novels a cup had to override safety protocols to make a gin martini. From had three of martinis and got plastered. The guy suffered no ill effects. seems they don't have carbonated beverages like coke or Pepsi either
Synthehol existed in classic Star Trek. Or at least it most certainly was in the classic Trek books, and before TNG came out. I've read "all" the novels, at least until SJW nonsense started utterly ruining them in the past 2 decades.
I love how data said it is green not only does he sound unsure he almost sounds intimidated and even more so I love his interactions with people who more or less dismisses him because he's not a carbon-based life-form and depending on who he's dealing with he reacts in different ways it might be missed by first time viewers but especially now with streaming services when you get to see back-to-back episodes and be able to re-watch them you see the subtlety and how he regards these people even if he hasn't known them for very long oftentimes it comes off as professional pleasantry or even more robotic just to mess with the offender but other times which I think are more rare is that you still see some semblance of kindness without having to say anything in the gestures such as pouring a man a drink it's more than an Act of Civility he truly wants to try and have this man in front of him see him as more than just a machine because he knows this man will be able to he understands the biases especially someone from a hundred years ago but he also knows this man is intelligent and he's interested in different things someone like that is bound to have an open mind it just takes a little bit of prying
He became a Captain (indicating only rank, not necessarily duties) at the beginning of STIII-TSFS. He was told to report to USS Excelsior as "Captain of Engineering".

if enjoying the taste wasn't the main pleasure in the act they could simple drink a small amount of 60%+ alcohol or swallow a pure tasteless caffeine pill and go straight to the after effects xD
It is green!
Great throwback reference. Great episode.
Did the bartender just leave in the middle of the conversation? lol
No tips in the Star Trek Universe
"Fuck it, I'm letting the robot and the time traveler figure this one out."
he let the senior officer handle the situation. Scott is a captain.
I love the nod to Scotty doing this exact thing to an alien in the original star trek series
Syntehol what is the point, when I drink alcohol I do it to become drunk.
It's probably to keep Starfleet Officers able to do their duties at peak efficiency without intoxication hampering their ability.
May i add, it's Synthehol, you missed an H in the middle.

Perhaps but it sounds boring.
Krister Andersson "Never get Drunk unless ya're willin' to pay for it." -Scotty
Anyway, i guess that kind of view changes depending on what eyes you look through..
bulletcat139
I am willing to pay for it or rather morning Krister is and evening Krister does not give a damn. I feel sorry for morning Krister.
Eh, I'm not a fan of depressants. You'd see me getting barked at by Dr. Crusher because I snuck in and wiped out her entire cache of stimulants and precursor hallucinogenic compounds.
"And more importantly! WHAT is my son doing with traces of LSD in his bloodstream!?"
"Well, uh-- you see-- the traveler wanted him to expand his mind, right?"
". . . it's green". That's one of Mr. Scott's lines from a heavy drinking seen in an original Star Trek episode.
I really wish Guinan was in this episode. Would have been good to see her and Scotty interact.
That ALWAYS bothered me from the date of broadcast to now.
I remember that episode...LOL!
I remember thinkin' "Gee for an alien supposedly new to the human body he sure had an awfully high tolerance for alcoholic beverages"
It is a fucking Cuervo bottle with the label removed. Lol.
Is that really necessary, laddie?
druidboy76 - ...you're the type to pick apart magic performances aren't you? Must be the life of any party you go to. :|
Hey that Cuervo bottle is 372 years old! It's a priceless antique!
The phrase "It is Green" is a Easter Egg reference to a older STAR TREK episode from the 1960's. In that Episode a Curious Alien Species had taken human form and was holding the Enterprise Crew at bay to observe and study them. The Aliens were wearing these Hi-Tech Belt Buckles which seemed to be the source of their power while onboard the Enterprise. It is during this time that Spock🖖 had observed that the Alien/Aliens were showing signs of Human emotions while eating some fruit, one Alien seemed to be enjoying the fruit so much that it seem to distract the Alien from his normal duties of observation. After seeing this Spock came to the Logical Conclusion that the Alien/Aliens had never felt emotions of any sort before and the now hijacked human form that they had taken was having an unexpected side effect making them feel...well human. This gave Kirk the idea on how they can gain the upper hand on their captives by distracting them and taking their belt buckles of power devices, but what distraction would work the best? Enter Montgomery Scott also known as "Scotty",who is not only is the greatest engineer on this side of the known Galaxy but also the Greatest Drinker the Universe has ever seen. Scotty informs Captain Kirk that he knows he can get the Alien Drunk and allowing for him to retreave his Magic Belt Buckle of Wonder, Kirk approves of the plan and so does Scotty. Back in Scotty' s quarters Scotty starts breaking out his collection of rare Human and Alien Alcohol and talks the Alien into joining him. The Alien already addicted to human emotion thanks in part to the fruit he had eaten earlier starts drinking. Over a course of a few hours they tear through Scotty's liquor collection at Warp 9 and Scottys running low on Liquor but continues to give the Alien everything hes got decides to opens his last two bottles. The last one was a rare bottle of original Scotch he was saving for only the most special of times but before he went to his ace in the hole he decides to bring out the other bottle first, a bottle that was a mysterious Alchole, Scotty knew it was Liquor but what kind and type was unknown. The Alien who was close to docking his ship in the town of "Pass Out" loved the names of each bottle and without missing a beat turns and asks Scotty "Whats that?" Scotty looks at the bottle and sees no lable, Scotty opens the bottle and smells no smell, Scotty pours a glass from the bottle and replies "It's Green" and they drink it. Type in TH-cam search "Scotty drinks a alien under the table" and the episodes scene should show up I left out the ending so you can find out what happens, a really great easter egg.
Am I the only one who thinks that Scotty would never call it 'scotch'? No one outside of America calls it that, and in Scotland it's always called 'whisky'.
Well, given the spread-out nature of the future, it's possible one had to be more specific.
Warrior Nation Perhaps you would prefer some Chech 'tluth? There are recipes for most of the klingon drinks (and they make me wince).
+Warrior Nation Yeah because everything we do today will totally be done in 200-300 years. Same phrasing same everything. Why try to ruin fiction with facts? People are weird.
many traditions, phrases and names are still used after 1000 years, not hard to imagine people still doing them 300 years from now.
I met Mr. Doohan at a convention about 20 years ago and he was a very cool guy. One of the best ST characters IMO.
It is green. So is weed, laddie
"It is green"
LMAOOOO what a wonderful callback to the "Scotty drinks an alien under the table" scene from tos XD
what the fuck is the point of drinking alcohol that doesn't get you drunk
Yeah, and can't they just use the replicator to get some real alcohol instead of that synthehol crap from the bar in ten forward?
the point is if something comes up ie Red Alert or a conduit blows you can just shake off the effects and get to business
Because the Ferengi want to increase drink sales.
I believe they explained that in one episode as a controlled measure to prevent people from doing so. Hence why they have a barkeep that can manage supplies. I think it's for the best when you have a ship fully staffed, only to give them access to an unlimited supply of pure alcohol from the ship's replicators. I imagine it would lead to performance issues.

no, the replicators safety programming bans creation of drinking alcohol in the novels a cup had to override safety protocols to make a gin martini. From had three of martinis and got plastered. The guy suffered no ill effects. seems they don't have carbonated beverages like coke or Pepsi either
and that's when they realized they had grabbed the liquid plumber.
Synthehol existed in classic Star Trek. Or at least it most certainly was in the classic Trek books, and before TNG came out. I've read "all" the novels, at least until SJW nonsense started utterly ruining them in the past 2 decades.
Love the tie-back to the TOS episode 'By Any Other Name'! Great stuff!!!
Every now and then the writes on Next Generation would get it right. Happy birthday, Jimmy.
I love how data said it is green not only does he sound unsure he almost sounds intimidated and even more so I love his interactions with people who more or less dismisses him because he's not a carbon-based life-form and depending on who he's dealing with he reacts in different ways it might be missed by first time viewers but especially now with streaming services when you get to see back-to-back episodes and be able to re-watch them you see the subtlety and how he regards these people even if he hasn't known them for very long oftentimes it comes off as professional pleasantry or even more robotic just to mess with the offender but other times which I think are more rare is that you still see some semblance of kindness without having to say anything in the gestures such as pouring a man a drink it's more than an Act of Civility he truly wants to try and have this man in front of him see him as more than just a machine because he knows this man will be able to he understands the biases especially someone from a hundred years ago but he also knows this man is intelligent and he's interested in different things someone like that is bound to have an open mind it just takes a little bit of prying
The original crew will never ever be replaced God-bless each and every one of them I miss them all.
Love how in scotty fasion hes like "eh why not..." once data just comes up with the fact its green. Fitting.
Good ol Data. Saves the day almost every time!
That look Scotty gives him when he says "it is green" is a common one in Scotland when a friend offers you something weird to drink.
Scotty just chugs everything, even if it could be crap
Scotty cheerfully reflects on the time he disassembled the warp core to make "The Finest Bloody Distillery You'll See Outside of Islay"
“It is green” sums up absinthe perfectly
"Its uhh, its uh... its green" -Scotty himself
"It is.. it is.. it is green" -Data
The way brent spiner delivers his lines is even better than the scene from the original series. :D
He became a Captain (indicating only rank, not necessarily duties) at the beginning of STIII-TSFS. He was told to report to USS Excelsior as "Captain of Engineering".
I just watched the scene where Scotty got the alien drunk, and now watching this, Data's "It is green" makes perfect sense!
Gods that "It is green" callback was tremendous
The "It is green" is a nod to the TOS episode where Scotty outdrank an alien.
I like how the barman has just walked off mid way through Datas explanation.
Data says the only truthful thing he could say, "It is green."
got to love a good TOS callback particularly when it is double layers like this.
