The IRL reason is that Wheaton was actually the biggest name on the show. He had just come off The Curse and Stand By Me the year before TNG came out so he was there to add 'star power's to a show headlined by a stage actor and a set builder.
To be Fair teenagers in general are horrible . And yea at the time Wesley was hated so much that people abused the shit out of Wheaton and he got so much hate mail.
@@LAHFaustI’d say LeVar was the biggest name. He was coming off Roots, which was a massive miniseries, and he was already well recognized from Reading Rainbow.
I love how Riker takes the entire bridge crew with him to go and investigate the ship, and leaves Picard alone on the bridge with Worf, the guy he always disagrees with.
There are plenty of orginal series episodes that don't hold up. But I think it would be great at some point to at least watch some high points (city on the edge of tomorrow for example is probably one of the best episodes of any series).
"How's Data's brain coming, Doc?" Doctor Soong: "Finished it, like, two months ago." "That fast??" DS: "Oh yeah. Easy. Threw in some words. No contractions. Also he likes cats." "Then what have you been working on for the last five months??" DS: "His pen*s!!! It's taking forever to get it right! It's gotta be fully functional and big AF." "Why on god's earth are you doing that??" DS (with crazed look in eyes): "It's just gotta be, okay??" "Uhh... also... Why does Data look like you?"
I an pretty sure that at some point Data tells someone he can't get drunk (but not sure on that). He does however eat and drink..he mostly does it to fit in socially, but in one episode he explains that while he doesn't need to eat or drink it can be helpful to lubricate his bio functions. Although when he does it himself he uses his own special mix of organic shake that is most suited for that (I think that's the episode where the orphan identifies as a Android).
You should really listen to "Sexy Data tango" by Voltaire. As for Weasley, he was written to be appealing to the kids by people who didn't know any. He also ended up being Roddenbery's Mary Sue...
It's kind of ironic that the episodes that Roddenberry is directly involved with seem to be worse because of it, and then all the episodes his self insert character are in are worse because of it. Wesley was a much more accurate portrayal of him than anyone could've expected lol.
It's unfortunate, the more I look into it, the more it seems that Gene simply wanted to control Star Trek more than he wanted to makes a good show. Gene wanted to own it, Rick Berman wanted to just makes lots of money from it, and then the writers and actors and crew were just trying their damnedest to make an interesting show period.
@@NewbieStarTrek Damn, that's a shame. It sucks when a project with so many people involved gets mucked up just cause of a few idiots. Especially when you take episodes like Measure of a Man that, like y'all have talked about, shows you the potential greatness of what could be, and then you get stuff like Code of Honor that just brings everything down. Although, if we're talking about it this long after it originally came out, overall it's a good experience, even if you take the nostalgia shine into consideration lol.
Measure of a Man, Gene actually HATED that script because he was adamant that the future would not have lawyers. The producers had to convince him to let them make it
@@NewbieStarTrek Hmmm, well I suppose in a true absolute utopia you wouldn't need them, but people still have conflicts of ideals and people that break the "Prime Directive" (if anyone actually knows enough about what it is to not follow it lol). It would be a pretty boring show if people didn't. It would just be people walking around the ship to go and agree with one another about everything.
Yeah, and I think the more aspirational type of message isn't that there will eventually be a utopia. I don't think that's realistic, especially since I don't think one form of utopia can apply to everyone. I do think, however, it's a great message that we're always trying to get there, to progress society in positive directions. That's an aspirational message we can apply to today right now.
40:10 I never noticed before that Deanna calls Riker “Bill”, which I’m not sure we ever hear of him referred to in this way again. “Will” yes… “Bill” no
I don't know if it comes up later in the episode, but this whole episode is basically a pastiche of The Naked Time from the original series (The historical event that Riker remembers reading.). They did this so early because they wanted to keep fans from the original series from revolting over the (admittedly kind of weird) opening episodes.
It's impossible for Data to get drunk on alcohol (2x04 The Outrageous Okona), however he can feel intoxication or other effects from other substances. The polywater intoxication in this episode, I'd argue, is probably just a coincidence that it affects him in a similar way. It's nearly impossible for the virus to account for and include infecting Soong-type androids in a similar way due to how rare they are.
The only thing I can think of for Data's Um Actually is that the vacuum force doesn't really exists -> the air expands to fill the available space, it isn't sucked by the space
So much of the weird sex-obsessed vibe of Season 1 can be chalked up to Gene Roddenberry being in charge. The man was 66 years old, losing his mind, and horny as hell - and he had final say on every script, often rewriting entire episodes behind the writers' backs. So the first season was basically his 26-episode sex fantasy. It really says a lot (and it's a little morbid to think about) that the show took a quantum leap upward in quality in the third season once Gene became too sick to work and had to turn the reins over to Michael Piller. Suddenly, the only priority was making good thought-provoking sci-fi.
Wesley is written as a smart and curious child, perhaps a bit headstrong. The fact that this would be challenging to everyone else on the starship doesn't represent any incongruity to me. I like Wesley because he can get away with some crazy antics, and still manages to be helpful. He's just a character after all, as believable as anything else in this universe.
I think the problem is that the character is written at least 5 years younger than what Wheaton was. More like Phantom Menace Anakin Skywalker age is what I'm thinking.
One of the biggest problems with the 80-90s era of Trek was Rick Berman. Good writer and producer, but a massive misogynist. He was the one that forced Marina Sirtis to wear a special corset through most of her run to make her breasts look bigger, personally designed Seven Of Nine's skinsuit, name the decon area for Enterprise just so he could show scenes of half-naked T'Pol, and insisted EVERY female members must have romantic subplots in solo stories.
27:29 Red🔴 Command (ie captain, commander, helmsman) Gold🟡 operations (engineering, security, etc) Blue🔵 sciences (medical and other scientists) Note: in TOS, red and gold are switched
Correction, he can "taste" as in he can analyse the components in the stuff he consumes, he just has no emotional reaction to the flavor of things he tastes, so he neither likes nor dislikes, or has any opinion on the flavor of the things he eats and drinks. It's not until Generations that he can form opinions on things based on emotions like "I hate this" or "I like this" because those are both emotional responses.
So to try to answer the question he has stated what would happen when he does ear or drink. And that his body breaks the stuff down and processes it like he was a biological human. But we never actually see it. There is one thing where there is a cameo later by another orgibal series actor when i think he tries the Synth-anol (sythetic alchohol) but that might just be a mandella effect on my brain.
I think the watershed episode for Wesley was "Evolution", the Season 3 premiere, where we finally see that all his insane amounts of studying and hands-on experience is stressing him out like crazy, and he feels this incredible pressure to live up to the massive expectations everyone else has of him. That made him sympathetic in a way that he'd rarely been before. It's hard on a smart kid when everyone expects the world of you.
@@jbwarner8626 I certainly doesn't help when that same smart kid goes out of his way to be treated like more experienced/mature members of the crew. That attempt makes them expect more of him because he shows he's ready years early, potentially a decade+ early. At least at that time in the series, I don't recall anyone his age crewing any of the ships. Later it apparently becomes fairly normal for young cadets to work alongside their older peers.
@@GaianEntertainment That was another great part of Wesley's character arc, that he eventually realized he didn't want the Starfleet life after all. He started having self-doubts as early as Season 2, and then he gets to the academy and he realizes how cutthroat and cliquey it can be and almost gets swept up in a plot to commit perjury to help his roommate get away with manslaughter. The Maquis situation and the forced relocations that come with the Cardassian treaty are what finally pop his bubble, and he's like "I don't know what I want anymore, but Starfleet isn't it." You get the sense that he only pursued Starfleet because both his parents were already there, and it didn't even occur to him that he could do anything else. "Well, I'm smart, I have potential, this is what I'm supposed to do, right?" It happens to a lot of smart kids in real life, where they just get pushed along onto career paths they don't want because all the adults around them see their potential but don't acknowledge their autonomy. It's sad but true.
Hollywood is chock-full of pedos 🤨, but realistically, they probably were an after thought that the writing team forgot until well into production. Plot holes are bane of writers and writing teams everywhere. 🤔 On the other hand though, Tasha's dirty talk does seem pretty suspect.
Is the sucked/blown comment actually for a scientific reason? In this context, aren't they exactly the same thing: moving from a higher pressure area to a lower pressure area? In the case of drinking through a straw, I think you'd properly say "sucked", because the action is on the low-pressure side, which you're creating with your mouth. And in the case of blowing out a candle, it's "blown", because the action is on the high-pressure side, from your lungs deflating. But in situation in TNG, there is no action on either side. It's a case of simply removing the barrier between preexisting high- and low-pressure areas. So it's just as proper to say "sucked out into space" as "blown out into space".
@@NewbieStarTrek Probably, but I'm nerd enough to have to ackshually the ackshually. Like, don't go around ackshuallying unless you have the actual goods to deliver, even if innuendo is the real goal. We're not barbarians; we live in a civilized society where insinuation should be held to a higher standard, being both clever *and* factually sound. And besides, I think we can all agree that the most important element of humor is scientific accuracy.
@@NewbieStarTrek I'd also probably be more likely to let it pass if it were some random person trying to show off, and not a super intelligent android, who should know better than to "well, ackshually" this.
38:30 - you mentioning Star Trek NG is canon, then what about Arsenal of Freedom? I saw this episode and then the later one with Q showing the crew the Borg threat. Why is there no mention of the prototype evolving weapon ever again. Even DS9 and Voyager dont mention this Super weapon in Starfleets inventory.
There is no Robocop 4. Just some tv movies like “Prime Directives” & “Crash & Burn” which I think are just blocks of episodes from the tv show or just made for tv garbage.
27:38 Red is command, or helm. If you are the only one inna department you get to wear red. Yellow/gold. Engineering and operations. Hence why obrien wesrs gold. He is the teleporter operator. Since he is civilian he doesnt get red as he technically always reports directly to command, even when he heads a department. Blue/green. Medical and sciences. So if you are primarily a researcher withbadditional roles youd get blue/green. Hence beverly and later, troi, wearing these colours.
Valiant effort, but...well, I'm sorry, but that's not correct at all. Red is worn exclusively by command and helm, without exception. O'Brien is enlisted (a chief petty officer), not a civilian. The "teleporter" is called the transporter. Good try, though!
What's sad is that this one old episode - as naughty and tawdry as it was is still 10x better than all of the Kurtzman s**t since... aside from this latest season of Picard
@@Travelinmatt1976 - I mean… spewing strange propaganda, and claiming you want to go back in time to punch his mother because Orange Man Bad- the media told me, is not the way to move through life. Not only is it deranged in general, but it detaches normal audience members. I suppose when you’re a deranged person this behaviour is normal to you.
46:00 Dunno if anyone has mentioned it in any of your other videos, but Gene Roddenberry's middle name was Westley, and he was the creator and advocate for the character. So essentially just a self insert character.
11:40 Tsiolkovsky, after 19th century philosopher and theoretical rocket scientist, that envisioned the Space Age, and everything we already doing or planning to do in the space. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Tsiolkovsky

Red is command, Gold is security/engineering/operations, Blue is medical/sciences. You can be a commissioned or non-commissioned officer in any color.
I’m convinced they only put up with Wesley as long as they did because Picard killed his dad

Or because Jeany wants to ride that ginger filly.
red: command and conn (ship driving)
yellow: operations (engineering and security)
blue: science and medical
in TOS yellow and red are reversed
I alway thought it was some admiral saying I look good in red so command gets red now so suck it operations!!!
@@AglaiaAkefiaThey did start reversing it by Wrath of Khan when everyone got those red uniforms.
Roddenberry is crusher. It was his insert.
SO when people complained about Wesley , it affected him.
