I like to think Cochrane almost immediately understood the significance of the Enterprise when he saw her through the telescope. It could have been anything...except he saw his own warp theory and design in the ship, even though it was 300 years ahead. Federation ships still have the classic human warp assembly and hull arrangement he pioneered right from the beginning. Of course, that ending though. I guess he wanted it much sooner in this timeline, heh.
Now if I wrote that scene, the moment he said “ you are all astronauts on some kind of Star Trek” I would’ve made Riker say : “ We are not exactly exactly Star Trek astronauts.. We are more the next generation of them!”
One of the best star trek movies, and the greatest scenes are just the dialogue. The lore and implications of these scenes really bring the weight of the state of humanity, which is intrinsically tied to the them of the show, is just so well executed. And well acted. It takes a certain grace to act in a way that serves the script, but doesn't seek the spotlight from the theme which is more important than any one actor or ego.
I have this theory that the Enterprise going back in time and showing him what potential the future had was what made him act benevolent to the Vulcans. The very presence in history is what caused the divergence point between our universe and the mirror universe.
That is a good point. Frankly, given how humanity is portrayed in that setting, it makes more sense for them to attack the Vulcans, even more so after getting attacked by the Borg.
As a Brit, our first HMS Enterprise was captured from the French, their L'Enterprise. Enterprise - the word itself sums up something cheeky and bold about the human spirit, beyond borders and times.
you're very bitter over some fictional piece of work. Why is that? Also, you belong to this "primitive species". Have you included yourself in that behavior?
If only we this was real. Imagine if were capable of creating something that will lead to another species coming to this planet to let us know they there is life somewhere.
@@99bulldog - I disagree. Some of it would be from fear, but the response to fear would be malice. Society has shown us that time and time again, throughout history.
@@RobTheSquire you can easily tell the scenes apart from the beginning. The terran version focusses on the bearded man, the original version doesn't do that.
Star Trek Next Generation, like the original Star Trek, followed Modernist ideas from the Enlightenment: humans are rational, and the human race improves itself by its own efforts. That is why I liked Battlestar Galactica, the 2000s reboot. BSG was post-modern; at times you wanted to root for the Cylons over the disordered human race.
Hey everybody hey people what episode was this? I am a big Star Trek fan I used to watch next Generation Star Trek every night and the 1990s and early 2000s! My AI computer does not know which episode this was! Which episode was this people please help by letting me know what episode number!
“It unites humanity in a way nobody ever thought possible”, do not forget those words, cause I think when they officially contact that this will happen.
True but would be anticipated, and the technology would be destroyed as Mankind is deemed "too primitive" to take its place among the stars. An alternative future dooming mankind to another thousand years of darkness.

In the box just below this video where TH-cam typically tries to sell me more complete videos, today it is trying to sell me 5 episodes of Babylon 5. Wrong series. The ending is the funniest thing I have seen in at least a month.
With all of his contributions, it makes me wonder why there was never a USS Cochrane in the fleet. You'd think with all that he did, the least he could get is a ship named after him. I guess he wasn't as important as they made him out to be.
@Mulder495 You're right, but what shows up, in my opinion, is far worse than if they hadn't had a USS Chocrane ship at all. On the official list of Federation ships, it shows up twice, which is weird. One vessel has zero distinction or information, and the other is an Oberth Class vessel, which is a civilian operated vessel. Obviously, it was just a canonical creation and addition, which was only included for lore. And yeah, this inclusion is worse than if they didn't have a vessel named after Chocrane! An oberth class? That ship is a slap in the face to the man who started it all! Did you hear what Riker said? None of it, would be possible without Chocrane, but he gets an Oberth Class vessel? With everything that Riker said, the USS Chocrane should have been, at the very least, a Constitution Class vessel with tremendous notoriety, and adventures, under its operation. The USS Chocrane should have been featured prominently in movies and TV shows, but it's nowhere to be found in any movie or TV show, which makes my original statement true. Plus, after Riker's talk up, you'd think that a ship bearing that name would not be some random one-off, fan-service side reference on some list that no one ever looks at. Yeah, my original statement loses no traction. These obscure mentions on this "official" list mean absolutely nothing. I say all this respectfully, of course. And, I do thank you for pointing out that this ship, or these ships, on the list.
@@Brakvash Even William Shatner is unable to do it. The one time Kirk is shown doing so, William Shatner had his fingers tied together to make it work, Zachary Quinto couldn't do it at first either, he had to glue his fingers together for the scene when he gives Spock Prime the salute.
I’m a big turtle fan. And I always made the Vulcan salute to mirror three fingers not knowing I was doing the salute. So do to practice being a turtle I can do it with both hands.
it's from the tv show the Enterprise, dark mirror or something like that. it was a 2 part episode in a pareal universe where humans are warm like fascist. it was also in the star trek classic as well as the new star trek Packard.
James Cromwell was great, really. But given he was an active actor at the time, I would have loved to have seen Jack Nicholson cast as "Cochrane" in the "Metamorphosis" episode...then come back for "First Contact".
I was thinking throughout the entire video about how funny would be if you'd spliced in the mirror universe version of events. And god dammit if you didn't do it XD
This version is the "MIrror, Mirror" version. It became the Terran Empire. I would have loved to have seen the Mirror, MIrror version of the movies. :)
I think Worf said something about moon gravitational field that masked the enterprise warp signature from detecting from vulcan at the end of the film.
You know its pretty funny that in BBT when Sheldon gets scared of the crime in Pasadena he decides to move to Bozeman Montana and doesn't even mention Star Trek or Zefram Cochrane.

Think I read somewhere that the Vulcan was either Skon ( Sarek’s grandfather) or Solkar ( his father).
Predictable
the ending scene is from star trek enterprise series where they depict the mirror universe zefram meeting vulcans
@@CowcaineHA thought so 😁👍
It was Spock's grand father, I think
Now if I wrote that scene, the moment he said “ you are all astronauts on some kind of Star Trek”
I would’ve made Riker say :
“ We are not exactly exactly Star Trek astronauts.. We are more the next generation of them!”
Or, "Wait, you don't remember Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Nancy Hedford on that planetoid that you were marooned on by The Companion?!?" 😉
The way that Riker looks to Troi in that scene. That, for him, the change isn't just ships and planets. It's a person, standing right before him.
My fav part of this movie, Troi getting drunk 🎉
Deanna was probably thinking: "Mr. Clemens took this better than him..."
Maybe it's worth giving up cigars for after all!
Great mix of futures.

That was a twist ending!
Mirror universe
I half expected the humans to start blasting. The Enterprise episode was super good.

Really is too bad we didn't get more seasons. Wasn't a huge fan of the time travel stuff initially; however, it kinda grew on me.
