No, no. She was sensing Data's joy. Just that, Data was the embodiment of millions of Trek Fans that finally got to see what a Galaxy-Class ship can really do when you drive her like you stole her. In all honesty. TNG crew did steal her but did return her before midnight, lol.

This was freakin’ AWESOME!!!! The song was perfect! Not only because it’s a classic 60s era rock song, but also it’s the song Zefram Cochrane plays during the test flight of the Phoenix in “Star Trek: First Contact”.
This was extremely satisfying. If you could patch Riker in right after beaming them aboard saying “could you turn that down a little” it would have been icing on the cake.
well remember the new data's more advanced then the old Data mind you the Old data never tried this so who know maybe even the old Data could have done it and since he never tried there was never proof that he could do it
The Data we shoulda gotten a looong time ago!! Poor Brent wanted them to kill him of, because he thought he cant be playing an Android character anymore as he got older. What they shouda down is use the emotions he got in Generations anthe skin he got in First Contact and just turn him into THIS Data like 25 years ago, lol!
I also love the new Data, but whats great is even if we dont get to see more of him, we got to get the closure of Data finally getting to be more human just like he always wanted to be
Yeah... It's amazing to a point where it becomes ridiculous and unbelievable. Why couldn't they have used a ship that was actually designed for maneuvering in such spaces? But no, they actually had to use the Enterprise for it...
@jonasklose6472 Haha, I do remember briefly thinking that as well until I realized it's fucking awesome and totally worth it. Plus, my head canon immediately filled in the blanks. Maybe Geordi installed a few maneuverability upgrades during restoration, and how many MIPS is Data capable of? He most definitely is not your average pilot he can operate that bitch in ways a regular human or alien for that matter could ever dream of etc.
@@JakeSulinjr The thing with me is: Whenever authors do something 'completely awesome' I know they're trying to tap into my subconscious cave man mind that can be fooled with such tricks. And then I start to think. Flashy lights and fast speeds just make me question if this was really possible and necessary from a storytelling perspective. They could have used the Defiant. A ship that can cloak, is heavily armored, had many upgrades and was designed to fly this way because it had enough thrust and a reduced mass even with striped down crew compartments that were shared up to the captain. Just think about the size of the impulse outlets of the Enterprise D compared to the whole ship and then remember the Defiant. The Enterprise D wasn't equipped with another other impulse outlet or any other necessary and visible change and that can't be explained by 'Geordi'. You can't make a speedboat out of an aircraft carrier. The least they could have done is saucer separation which would have been nice to look at, canon and it would have made it easier to fly through the narrow passages.
Nice little bit about this is how Geordi says not even his DAUGHTER could do it... like, he know how impossible it is, and he holds his daughter in such high regard.
i Love how the Enterprise D does a “handbrake” stop above them on her own stlye of “come with me if you want to live” it is badass :) mad respect edit: fixed a typo
For some reason this goes great with this scene. And good tribute to "First Contact." If only Data hit a button to turn on this song and said, "lets rockn' roll!!!"...it totally could have worked. But, only when the D was showing....after the flying it didnt work. Also a hint of a "Guardians" feel to this clip with the music.
I like how this moment speaks to Geordi's experience. I thought back to the episode where the ship needed to do some tricky maneuvers but they didn't trust the computer to do it because there needed to be a human element that the computer can't replicate and ultimately I think Picard ended up piloting the ship through the situation. Here he mentions his daughter is extremely talented but even she couldn't do it. This is where Data being computer and now also human kicks in. Now Data has that extra human intuition that allows him to pilot in a way a computer or talented human couldn't.
That was "Booby Trap", season 3 episode 6 when they got stuck in the asteroid field, draining their power. Picard had to use the thrusters to slingshot around a big rock to clear the ship to get power back. Poor Promellian battlecruiser...
also Data trusting his "gut" harkens back to a discussion he and Geordie had in TNG (Season 3, Episode 10, "The Defector") where he has to explain to Data what gut instincts are and why humans sometimes follow that intuition despite it not always being logical
(in fleet museum tour) "I heard this isn't all the original Enterprise D" "True, however the story of how it came to be what it is, how, why, and what it did as it is.... is WELL worth the listen! "
In the Starfleet Museum The Enterprise A and The Defiant are the Starships Commissioned AFTER the destruction of the Original USS Enterprise NCC-1701 and USS Defiant NX-74205.
"Why am I sensing enjoyment?" Data finally getting to show the Borg who the far superior synthetic is: "Resistance is futile, and also I can drift a starship."
That’s it, this is the best piece of editing I’ve ever seen. I knew that this season was fantastic but with this addition it’s now risen to the level of the best piece of cinema ever filmed( including LOTR which is hella high praise from me and something I swore no one could ever accomplish)
Brent Spiner is a complete bad ass. He was playing data the way data really would have been. He makes data one of the most powerful characters in the entire series. Every Nuance was perfect. Playing magic carpet ride to this was beautiful.
@@Creasy5678 and the best part if you go back and watch TNG and hear Laforge say not even Data could do it you know he's full of it cause Data did this one and he said the same thing here so he had this bad ass flying ability for the ship for a long time and no one even believed he could do it till now
I absolutely LOVE!! what was done with this whole scene with just the addition of the Steppenwolf soundtrack!! Just as I loved it with the launch of the Phoenix!!. It was just as much fun watching Data get his rocks off & showing not only to to himself, but to Geordi, Deanna, and Beverly what the now FULLY human Data could do with his now totally human confidence in himself & his ability to trust his own ability to make the big 'D' handle like a Porsche on steroids. 5 BIG FREAKIN' STARS!!!!
I love the fact that a regular Borg cuba would own that old enterprise ncc 1701 D in combat yet a super cube is no match for the same old ship and Geordie did say he didn't have time to upgrade the weapons or shields on that ship so your not going to get away with oh they just upgraded the tech cause they didn't do that one which is why the story telling is just pure bs on that cube cause it should have owned the D in a heart beats it was still more then capable of slaughtering the D without much effort
@@PhotonHerald oh silly you are forgetting the outside of the borg cube they approached the cube from the outside and were taking hits a normal cube would drops the D's shields in a matter of seconds and this is a super large cube so your saying it can't do at least what a normal cube can do I mean seriously common and wake up
@@raven4k998 Without a doubt, that cube should have destroyed the Enterprise. But we're also talking about a crew that had decades more experience piloting the ship, and one with less inhibitions. They didn't expect to survives, so they basically said "screw it." That, in my opinion, made the scene so much better.
@@InebriatedMic yeah but the point is bad writing they made it look to easy for the D to slaughter that cube and experience can only take you so far with dated tech like that which the D had it would have been more believable had Geordie updated the weapons and shields tech of the D with anti borg tech but as it stood the D should have been blown up cause her tech wasn't that good against the borg as it was
To think that this Galaxy Class ship, as ridiculously large as it is, is pulling fighter like maneuvers pulling a "space drift" as Data RIPS the E Brake, beams up the Picards (yes im calling them the Picards), and then high tails it out of there while blasting the cube which is many times bigger than the earth and warps outta there is insane!!
"Not even my daughter.." Yet you got Data right there.. if there is any being capable its him. I'm surprised it took so much convincing from Data to get everyone else on board. They've seen him in action many times before.
I think that's where Geordi's concern came from. Yes Data could do it, but could the Enterprise computers keep up with him. Buffering would be bad at such a moment.
"Data, where in the world did you get the idea for this?" "I watched this movie called 'Star Wars', and this guy called Han Solo was always doing things like this. I figured that if he could do it with the Millennium Falcon, I could do it with the Enterprise."
The famous group that sang this classic song was Steppenwolf they were fantastic if you never heard their other songs you can find all their albums on here. Born to be Wild is their most famous song it was used in the movie Easy Rider.
That little maneuver above the central chamber is now called the "Data Drift." Because he drited a starship inside a borg cube! I will accept no other names. That is Yune Darrak levels of piloting. Just. *chef's kiss.*
Bastard! See what you made me think up?!! Now you're gonna have kids dropping into neutral at intersections, and try to maneuver with no drive power to the wheels until they get out the other side. Yeah! I just made that shit up, but I think the "Data Drift" will go viral. This is an embryonic TikTok challenge. -- Yo, did you see him data? That was fire.
Anyone else notice how Data was working that console like he was playing a musical instrument? It would have worked even better if Data said, "Let's rock n roll!" and then punched it.
Using this song with the Phoenix launch was quite good. Applying it to this is gold. Using this song for amazing action sequences is now canon in my mind.
shame they didn't record the queen screaming like that cause then they could send that as the the response to the Borg when they say resistance is futile🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Darth Vader would be impressed due to being quite the pod-racer back in his youth as a boy. In fact Darth Vader would help Data and the Enterprise fight the Borg due to The Force telling Darth Vader that the Borg are a great threat to everyone including himself. Even the Jedi would team up with Darth Vader and the USS ENTERPRISE 1701-D because The Force would warn the Jedi about the Borg Deanna Troi would get along with Qui-Gon Jinn. Deanna Troi would want to know more about The Force and Qui-Gon Jinn would say these words below to Deanna Troi: "Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to us, telling us the will of the Force. When you learn to quiet your mind, you'll hear them speaking to you." Qui-Gon Jinn would ask Deanna Troi for a sample of her blood to test her Midi-chlorian count to test if she was Force sensitive or not. Qui-Gon Jinn would fight the Borg due to the Borg causing a disturbance to The Force.
A homage to The Confederation of Earth Alternate Universe Starship C.S.S. World Razor NCC-1701D blasting a Borg Cube painting at General Jean Luc Picard family vineyard.
well this scene works so much better with this over that movie just cause the song sounds like a wild ride and Data sends them on the ride of a lifetime into that cube and shockingly enough Data kills it
This song captures the absolute essence of fun and joy I’ve ever seen in a Star Trek episode. This has given me feelings that I haven’t felt in a very long time.
I was hoping that was the song you meant... :-) Love that "flying fireball" effect with the shields as the Big E comes screaming out of the middle of the explosion...
The joyful warrior Data is such a wonderful development. And perfectly understandable, even to TNG canon geeks. Mr. Spiner, as always, gift wraps the performance,, and then presents it for our viewing pleasure. The expression on his face as he goes in is literally priceless. Bravo, all!!!
Not for me. Star Trek died with Discovery for me. I can't take a few episodes before I have to quit. Everything of the ethics and the depth is gone. Now it's only about special effects and 'action'. At least the original data died meaning this was at least not done to the original character. Come to think of it, I now think it would have been better if there was a warp core breach in Nemesis at the end.
@@jonasklose6472 yeah Picard rammed the scimitar and some of it broke off and breach engineering causing a warp core breach which why it didn't happen when it always happened by accident in TNG kind of shows you how much it had already changed by Nemesis Already
@@raven4k998 No, I meant a warp core breach of the Enterprise, so the characters would have died in battle and couldn't have been used for this. Bad then I was sad that data died, now I'm glad. RIP For the movies: I always accepted them going away from Star Trek story telling. They were made for mass audiences that maybe heard of Star Trek the first time when they watched the movies. Now, it seems the only thing New Trek resembles a bit are the movies. For me: Star Trek should have just been happy with it's corner and should not have tried to claw it's way out by going generic/Star Wars sci-fi and making the ethics part into an in-your-face style because they don't believe that the target audience of Star Trek can think or reflect on what they saw and it's implications.
@@jonasklose6472 well that star trek was more about the story this new star trek is about the special effects and action nothing more then that it has no science in it even it's just dumb words to fill in that they don't know shit about the star trek tech at all🤣🤣
Data evolved into his own kind of "perfection of humanoid and machine melded into one" that the Borg always sought after, but it required emotions, humanity, the capacity for creative thinking, compassion, improvisation, abstract thinking, doing the "you know, fuck it, lets try this, it may work" something The Borg aren't really good at doing.
In star wars these types of attacks were performed by high maneuverability star fighters, Lt. Commander Data did it in a starship the size of a city block and quite possibly the largest Federation starship pre 30th century
You know, only after watching it again, I notice that even as Enterprise is tossing herself around like a leaf....its still a very heavy feeling leaf. I loved this scene, and I had no problem with the idea that a 24th century starship could pull moves like this when it's capable of stopping almost on a dime from warp speed, or from moving at 0.25c impulse (that's a mind boggling 75,000 km/s btw, you'd reach the Moon from Earth in about 5 seconds). But I did knowledge, albeit for very different reasons than the haters, that it seemed Enterprise could move like a fighter jet or even a hummingbird, which stretched belief based upon our modern level of technology and understanding of physics. But now that I re-watch it, you really can see that Enterprise has some considerable momentum in her "handbrake turns". She recovers very quickly but also slides quite far in the process, giving an immense sense of weight. I didn't notice it before because that's not actually what I expected. And the haters obviously wanted something to nitpick. As it turns out, the mind really sees what it wants to see. I'm glad to correct myself...and screw the haters for whom the reality is simply what they want to trash.
The queen thought that since both the Enterprise-D and the Enterprise-E was destroyed and the Enterprise-F was compromised She had no clue that the Enterprise-D was back to finish The Borg Threat for sure.
@@Laeadern I agreed with you. Star Trek: Generations was the very FIRST VHS Tape I bought. The crash landing of the Enterprise Saucer Section was like watching a homage to The Jupiter 2 from Lost In Space crashing planetside. Then came the Death of Captain James T. Kirk it was the 3rd time I cried the First Time was death of Captain Spock in 1982 at the age of 18 The Wrath of Khan Second Time 1984 at the age of 20 Tne destruction of the Original NCC-1701 in The Search of Spock.

I love the fact that a regular Borg cuba would own that old enterprise ncc 1701 D in combat yet a super cube is no match for the same old ship and Geordie did say he didn't have time to upgrade the weapons or shields on that ship so your not going to get away with oh they just upgraded the tech cause they didn't do that one which is why the story telling is just pure bs on that cube cause it should have owned the D in a heart beats it was still more then capable of slaughtering the D without much effort
@@raven4k998Most ships don't mount capital weapons...ON THE INSIDE.
@@PhotonHerald oh silly you are forgetting the outside of the borg cube they approached the cube from the outside and were taking hits a normal cube would drops the D's shields in a matter of seconds and this is a super large cube so your saying it can't do at least what a normal cube can do I mean seriously common and wake up
@@raven4k998 Without a doubt, that cube should have destroyed the Enterprise. But we're also talking about a crew that had decades more experience piloting the ship, and one with less inhibitions. They didn't expect to survives, so they basically said "screw it." That, in my opinion, made the scene so much better.
@@InebriatedMic yeah but the point is bad writing they made it look to easy for the D to slaughter that cube and experience can only take you so far with dated tech like that which the D had it would have been more believable had Geordie updated the weapons and shields tech of the D with anti borg tech but as it stood the D should have been blown up cause her tech wasn't that good against the borg as it was
To think that this Galaxy Class ship, as ridiculously large as it is, is pulling fighter like maneuvers pulling a "space drift" as Data RIPS the E Brake, beams up the Picards (yes im calling them the Picards), and then high tails it out of there while blasting the cube which is many times bigger than the earth and warps outta there is insane!!
This why i say in a trek vs wars in space trek wins
The amazing thing is, Troi was doing at least some of the flying when they ended up over Jack and Jean-Luc...
"Not even my daughter.." Yet you got Data right there.. if there is any being capable its him. I'm surprised it took so much convincing from Data to get everyone else on board. They've seen him in action many times before.
well, but not *this* version of Data... totally different body and then it isn't just him "in there", but also Lore, B4 and Soong
I love the way Data's hands just effortlessly dance across the control panel.
Data is a computer that’s faster than the enterprise computer… I’d have trusted him 😂
I think that's where Geordi's concern came from. Yes Data could do it, but could the Enterprise computers keep up with him. Buffering would be bad at such a moment.
Whoever put this edit together, You Freaking Rock ! ! Thanks a million ! !
at :57, the initial fishtail in to a drift is just frigging sweet.
"Data, where in the world did you get the idea for this?"
"I watched this movie called 'Star Wars', and this guy called Han Solo was always doing things like this. I figured that if he could do it with the Millennium Falcon, I could do it with the Enterprise."
"Let's rock n' roll!"
Quoted by Zefram Cochrane in Star Trek First Contact
"And you people, you're all astronauts, on some kind of star trek."
2:03 Enterprise "I know the E come to rescue you once, but I've always been your true mistress....now its my turn"
Me: computer play my saving the day song
Enterprise D computer: Acknowledged
That drifting parking rescue stop 5kms overhead is awesome
I love the tip of the hat to Star Trek First Contact!
He's not just any computer...His name is Lieutenant Commander Data!
As many times as I've seen this clip, this is in my top 5.
The famous group that sang this classic song was Steppenwolf they were fantastic if you never heard their other songs you can find all their albums on here. Born to be Wild is their most famous song it was used in the movie Easy Rider.
That little maneuver above the central chamber is now called the "Data Drift." Because he drited a starship inside a borg cube! I will accept no other names. That is Yune Darrak levels of piloting. Just. *chef's kiss.*
Bastard! See what you made me think up?!! Now you're gonna have kids dropping into neutral at intersections, and try to maneuver with no drive power to the wheels until they get out the other side. Yeah! I just made that shit up, but I think the "Data Drift" will go viral. This is an embryonic TikTok challenge.
-- Yo, did you see him data? That was fire.
Let’s rock and roll!
Whoever did this brilliant absolutely brilliant 👌👏👏👏
Anyone else notice how Data was working that console like he was playing a musical instrument? It would have worked even better if Data said, "Let's rock n roll!" and then punched it.
Using this song with the Phoenix launch was quite good. Applying it to this is gold. Using this song for amazing action sequences is now canon in my mind.
John Kay and Steppenwolf rock even through the Star Trek universe!
Thank you to who made this! Such fitting background music. 😎
😅 Oh god what a pairing! And it's so befitting, Especially as that's when Data becomes truly human in my eyes.
This is the edit I didn't know I needed for this scene, but now can't live without it.
Out freaking standing. 👍
shame they didn't record the queen screaming like that cause then they could send that as the the response to the Borg when they say resistance is futile🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Data flying a multi million ton spacecraft like an f16. I’m more impressed that it handles that well😂
Darth Vader would be impressed due to being quite the pod-racer back in his youth as a boy.
In fact Darth Vader would help Data and the Enterprise fight the Borg due to The Force telling Darth Vader that the Borg are a great threat to everyone including himself.
Even the Jedi would team up with Darth Vader and the USS ENTERPRISE 1701-D because The Force would warn the Jedi about the Borg
Deanna Troi would get along with Qui-Gon Jinn.
Deanna Troi would want to know more about The Force and Qui-Gon Jinn would say these words below to Deanna Troi:
"Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to us, telling us the will of the Force. When you learn to quiet your mind, you'll hear them speaking to you."
Qui-Gon Jinn would ask Deanna Troi for a sample of her blood to test her Midi-chlorian count to test if she was Force sensitive or not.
Qui-Gon Jinn would fight the Borg due to the Borg causing a disturbance to The Force.
I like the way the Enterprise comes out in a fireball when the cube explodes
A homage to The Confederation of Earth Alternate Universe Starship C.S.S. World Razor NCC-1701D blasting a Borg Cube painting at General Jean Luc Picard family vineyard.
Whoever compiled this did a really good job thank you
That song brought me right back to the First Contact movie.
well this scene works so much better with this over that movie just cause the song sounds like a wild ride and Data sends them on the ride of a lifetime into that cube and shockingly enough Data kills it
Chills...every time that big beautiful Galaxy class power slides above Picard and Jack.
Awesome video, I wish they would have used this song in the episode, it fits so well!
And it would have been a call back to First Contact. Perfect.
Star Trek + Guardians of the Galaxy remix.
Zef would have shat himself at this level of piloting
Love the "First Contact' homage...but...
When i saw this the first time, "thunderstruck" by AC/DC went through my head.
"I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar
@@starguy2718How about "Space Truckin" by Deep Purple or "Space Cowboy" by Steve Miller?
Seriously they should have went with this song. I've watched this so many times and it never gets tiresome. :)
Deanna just did a Rockford J turn with a starship. Now that is classy.
This song captures the absolute essence of fun and joy I’ve ever seen in a Star Trek episode. This has given me feelings that I haven’t felt in a very long time.
Producers "hey we need a final ship showdown any ideas?" Brent spiner....."data does the star wars trench run."
I was hoping that was the song you meant... :-) Love that "flying fireball" effect with the shields as the Big E comes screaming out of the middle of the explosion...
the BEST part of that whole scene is Diana reaction to Data enjoying himself flying like no one has flown before ...
The joyful warrior Data is such a wonderful development. And perfectly understandable, even to TNG canon geeks.
Mr. Spiner, as always, gift wraps the performance,, and then presents it for our viewing pleasure. The expression on his face as he goes in is literally priceless.
Bravo, all!!!
Hang on🤣
Not for me. Star Trek died with Discovery for me. I can't take a few episodes before I have to quit. Everything of the ethics and the depth is gone. Now it's only about special effects and 'action'.
At least the original data died meaning this was at least not done to the original character. Come to think of it, I now think it would have been better if there was a warp core breach in Nemesis at the end.
@@jonasklose6472 yeah Picard rammed the scimitar and some of it broke off and breach engineering causing a warp core breach which why it didn't happen when it always happened by accident in TNG kind of shows you how much it had already changed by Nemesis Already
@@raven4k998
No, I meant a warp core breach of the Enterprise, so the characters would have died in battle and couldn't have been used for this. Bad then I was sad that data died, now I'm glad. RIP
For the movies: I always accepted them going away from Star Trek story telling. They were made for mass audiences that maybe heard of Star Trek the first time when they watched the movies. Now, it seems the only thing New Trek resembles a bit are the movies. For me: Star Trek should have just been happy with it's corner and should not have tried to claw it's way out by going generic/Star Wars sci-fi and making the ethics part into an in-your-face style because they don't believe that the target audience of Star Trek can think or reflect on what they saw and it's implications.
@@jonasklose6472 well that star trek was more about the story this new star trek is about the special effects and action nothing more then that it has no science in it even it's just dumb words to fill in that they don't know shit about the star trek tech at all🤣🤣
Bet they wished they had seatbelts
Deanna Troi: "Why am I sensing 'enjoyment'?"
Me: "From Data or from everyone of us watching that scene?"
No kidding, talk about breaking the fourth wall lol. I sure as hell was feeling enjoyment 😂
Not seen each other for decades, all unsure. Data and Geordie make eye contact. Data nods. Nuff said! Let's do it!
This Cast gave it THE GRAND FINALE "for REAL this time. "ALL GOOD THINGS'" 2023.
Data evolved into his own kind of "perfection of humanoid and machine melded into one" that the Borg always sought after, but it required emotions, humanity, the capacity for creative thinking, compassion, improvisation, abstract thinking, doing the "you know, fuck it, lets try this, it may work" something The Borg aren't really good at doing.
I have seen this clip with many different types of songs but I can, without a doubt say, this by far is the best song to go with this scene!
I love how the Borg build their ship with crevices large enough for a 2100 foot long and 1500 foot wide ship to just fly through.
In star wars these types of attacks were performed by high maneuverability star fighters, Lt. Commander Data did it in a starship the size of a city block and quite possibly the largest Federation starship pre 30th century
I'd love to see Tom Paris, Geordie's daughter, and Data have a maneuver off.
I love how geordi equates his daughter to...a computer. Boy, he never shook that relationship he had with the holodeck Leah Brahms did he?
You know, only after watching it again, I notice that even as Enterprise is tossing herself around like a leaf....its still a very heavy feeling leaf. I loved this scene, and I had no problem with the idea that a 24th century starship could pull moves like this when it's capable of stopping almost on a dime from warp speed, or from moving at 0.25c impulse (that's a mind boggling 75,000 km/s btw, you'd reach the Moon from Earth in about 5 seconds). But I did knowledge, albeit for very different reasons than the haters, that it seemed Enterprise could move like a fighter jet or even a hummingbird, which stretched belief based upon our modern level of technology and understanding of physics.
But now that I re-watch it, you really can see that Enterprise has some considerable momentum in her "handbrake turns". She recovers very quickly but also slides quite far in the process, giving an immense sense of weight. I didn't notice it before because that's not actually what I expected. And the haters obviously wanted something to nitpick. As it turns out, the mind really sees what it wants to see. I'm glad to correct myself...and screw the haters for whom the reality is simply what they want to trash.
Try to peel the grin off my face! Great nod to my fav scene from First Contact.
You know Brent Spiner has wanted to do something like that for decades.
This is the way I choose to remember it actually happening.
One of the best ways, to close a circle. Zephram Cochrane is, in the ether raising a glass, saying damn fine choice.
anyone else think it's Ironic the Borg Queen should have died to Magic Carpet Ride twice
The Queen never saw that coming. The D just goes in phasers and torpedoes blazing to stomp some borg and magic Carpet Ride fits so damn well.
The queen thought that since both the Enterprise-D and the Enterprise-E was destroyed and the Enterprise-F was compromised She had no clue that the Enterprise-D was back to finish The Borg Threat for sure.
@@marcusjustice6165 I grew up with the D. It didn't get a proper sendoff in Generations so this was nice.
@@Laeadern I agreed with you. Star Trek: Generations was the very FIRST VHS Tape I bought. The crash landing of the Enterprise Saucer Section was like watching a homage to The Jupiter 2 from Lost In Space crashing planetside. Then came the Death of Captain James T. Kirk it was the 3rd time I cried the First Time was death of Captain Spock in 1982 at the age of 18 The Wrath of Khan Second Time 1984 at the age of 20 Tne destruction of the Original NCC-1701 in The Search of Spock. Age 59 Glad The Enterprise D is in the Starfleet Museum.
Great First Contact reference! Let’s rock and roll!
Damn Dr. Crusher is crushing it at Tactical
This music! Basically how it SHOULD HAVE BEEN!
Yes, Dr. Cochrane: they *are* astronauts, on some kind of 'star trek'.
