8:13 Good to see none of the Enterprise's cargo bay shelves have been fitted with safety rails since one of those barrels fell and crushed Worf's spine. 🤣
See, what you need is to store your heavy objects in a high place within fixed area of artificial gravity. That way when specifically Worf comes to investigate the profligate waste of power, one of them can fall on him and break his back.
We are nearly at the end, gents! I hope we get Nick's and Rob's TOP 10 TNG episodes, that would be very interesting to see, especially since some of the big fan favourites got fairly low marks from you.
I'm down for them doing DS9. Because it's an amazing series, I love it personally, it has some of the best writing, and I want to see them nerd out a bit and also tear the crap episodes to shreds
The train conductor is Jeffrey Lebowski (so he CAN walk, Walter was right!)
That fuckin' gold-bricker!
This episode was like the Twilight Zone.
Which means I loved it.
Longest wrap up ever lol
Why would a console even explode?
That's not even how interfaces worked 50 years ago. If your car engine overheats the temp gauge doesn't blow up.
😄
Maybe yours don't, fancypants! Some of us didn't get our daddies to send us non-exploding temperature gauges growing up.

And your laptop catches fire when your laptop says "check battery".
My remote blew up when cable shut my service off.
Neither when the hero shoots bullets to the engine or the gas tank.
Do you remember the A-Team? Cars always got like that lateral ramp so they may do a barrel roll in the air and land upside down after they fired from the modded vehicle B. A. transformed into a TANK?
In real life that doesn't happen, as a kid I already knew. And KITT, turbines won't make him jump, that's a ramp but how cool and how many Pontiac Firebird Trans Am did they destroyed? 😅
Loved the 'Data's exposition dump' sequence 😂 If this lifeform's only purpose is to procreate, then maybe some of Riker's holodeck programmes DID play a part in it's creation...
At least we get the answer to Bruce Maddox’s question, “Would you let the enterprise resign if it were sentient?”
I guess I'm a bit of a nerd, but I loved the maths jokes during Data's explanation
It's such a shame these reviews have reached the end of the series.
It's been a fun ride, guys.
TRUTH.
I started watching during the lock down.
This channel marks a huge chapter.
It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
Hey, there’s always DS9 (which they’ve said in a previous video they’ve been watching).
@@patrickstewart3446 I really hope they review DS9.
Some good alternative episode names: "Crazy Straws Last Sip", "Riker's Final Open Frame", and "Unplug the Holodeck".
Perfect
Sad that one of the last episodes was this awful! I still remember after 30 years how dumb this was!! You guys should do a top 10 worst episodes, this would definitely be on it!! Thanks for the channel guys, you are funny as always!!
weird, for me this is one of their best ever. only they should have brought Moriarty back once more.
I have to imagine that with theoretically hundreds of Galaxy class cruisers out there in the Federation and how the Enterprise has created multiple synthetic life forms over the course of its first seven years of service, that there are literally thousands of novel AI's running around by the time of Star Trek Voyager at least.
im pretty sure at this point in the franchise they only have like 6 or so galaxy class ships. Which in the context of the ships creating ai that go off into space might be a good thing.
This is one of the episodes that I argue about when it comes to identifying the worst. For example, Masks and Sub Rosa are frequently cited but I think I prefer those to this one. If they're not actually better then they're at least so bad to be memorable. While I didn't forget this episode existed, I completely forgot about the holodeck part. And then, even when showing the holodeck scenes in this review, I kept mixing everything up with the Data's dream episode, the one with him screeching at the miners. In my head they spent the whole time staring at the straws in the cargo bay.
Emergence feels like a Voyager episode. I guess they were already into that era of writing Star Trek.
I literally don't remember this episode. Should I be grateful?
I thought it was just me. I’ve rewatched the series a few times in my life. I’m truly baffled as to how this one got blocked out
In my brain, this was part of that Data learns to dream episode -- the blacksmith and the raven and the weird train with the Big Lebowski were all together in my vague recollection ...
When the science isn't explained, like in other episodes, you guys get upset. But when Data takes the time to explain it in great detail, you still aren't happy. What do you want them to even do?
if data is going to open his mouth, it shouldn't be a long winded monologue aka telling us and not showing us.
I love that no one knows how the holodeck even works, and it goes haywire basically every episode it's used, and they still aren't afraid to just jump in there and risk their lives and sanity.
@5:15 OMG I died laughing, you guys are amazing with these things sometimes and I never see it coming. Bravo.
This is the episode I always think of when I think of season 7. I's so weird.
This is still technically a “relatives” video given that the crazy straw thing is the Enterprise’s kid.
re: life support being down for 10 hours
The ship has escape pods meant to last for "According to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual, the USS Defiant carried twenty-six of these pods, which were six-person craft capable of sustaining survivors for up to eight months". So get everyone in those.
6 x 26 = 156. There are, like, 1000 people aboard the enterprise. That's not plausible. This assumes that 26 is like the standard.
Can’t believe we’re nearly at the end. I’d love you to review the top, say, 5 episodes where your ratings clearly varied massively vs those of long-term fans (such as Conundrum, Remember Me, Drumhead, etc) and see if you view them differently now you’ve reached the end of the whole series? Or like the guy said below, a final post with maybe your top and bottom 5 episodes. It’s been a long road - I’ve disagreed with you on many ratings (bar most of Season 7!) but you’ve never failed to entertain me with your episode analysis and crack me up with your banter… ;)
There are still a bunch of other Star Trek shows to review. Just the other two TNG era shows alone are each roughly the same episode count.
@@parrot998 Yep, I know. I meant as one final compilation/wrap-up post for ST:TNG - not re-reviewing 10 entire episodes... Just a chat about what they learned during the 7 seasons and which ones they might feel were best/worst, or too easy/harsh on, esp given the ratings have kept us all in suspense each week... :)
@@Shelsight I'm just saying it isn't really the end
3:00 *Crazy Straws!*
I actually had an idea of doing a video on this episode. That note at the end about how it represents there experiences. Like the time a guy had all his knowledge downloaded into the computer. Or how Picard was once in the computer.
Yet another episode I never re-watched for at least a decade or possibly since it aired.
The idea of a new cast member representing the ship could have been really cool.
Mass Effect did something similar to that

I only half remember this episode. I recall the images but not the story. When I see the conductor, all I can think of is “Forget that shit, HERE COMES MONGO!”
The only good bit of this episode is that it hinted at why Data was sentient but the ship’s computer isn’t…that something more is needed than just raw computational power. Supposedly the ship’s computer is more powerful than Data’s brain, but it lacks self awareness or consciousness.
This episode makes me think of the TAS episode when the ship becomes self-aware, and plays jokes on the crew, even writes "Kirk is a jerk" on his back.. to fix it they had to trick the ship into passing back through the cloud that started it all.
surprised this didn't happen sooner considering the horny old man from schizoid man merged with the main computer, as did barcley and data.
Ive been looking forward to this one. I remember watching this back in the day and thinking that this was actually worse than 'Sub Rosa'. Years ago someone did a spoof TNG season 8 episode guide where every story was as bizarre as this one. Mind you would still rather have watch that then seasons 1 and 2 of Picard!
Pretty sure you are talking about Mike McMahan's guide, "Star Trek The Next Generation Warped" some of which he later used as the basis for the series Star Trek Lower Decks.
I love the idea of a kid going into the hollow deck and creating a world full of dinosaurs which escape and turn the ship into Jurassic Enterprise. Such wasted potential for an episodes. I would love to see comedy version of TNG.
There is a holideck maintenance crew.....it's Barclay and LaForge.
I don’t remember this episode and it seems I’m not the only one🤔. Maybe it’s not good enough or bad enough to remember
Nick sounds so jaded after all these episodes, he’s just like. Mm yeh! What Robert said… or vise verse. I’m not sure which one of you is which. Perhaps calling each other by name once and a while would help. Just thoughts
This episode is a really cool idea executed poorly.
"He slows the ship to impulse speed, which doesn't sound like it would be the same thing as coming out of warp, but this show doesn't care."
Do *you* care? Impulse speed is slower than warp. It's literally the same thing as coming out of warp.
This was the episode where they establish the Holodeck has built-in food replicators. This should explain how they keep taking paper and stuff off the holodeck.
why there are no security cameras around?
why there is no ‘visualisation’ of the holodeck?
why this new lifeform just decided to disappear? it seemed like the lifeform being the whole system with the ship together… and not just the crazy straws…
Crazy straws WAS a relative. Data had a daughter, and now The Ship had a child.
So it Was "a relative"
Ro Laren final appearance preemptive strike is the next review then All good things
How dare you besmirch the good name of K'Nex by associating them with this episode!
*_3.14 + USA = America Pie_* is a pretty funny thing to see scroll across the screen
All it takes is a 1970's Light Brite game set to sabotage a galaxy class starship.
Big Lebowski grinning like an idiot….😂😂
The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D is taken by a fey mood!
"New Veriform City!" In a drawl is a phrase that haunts me for a while, after I get an hour older watching this stale, late-season episode.
I complained about how dark Star Trek Picard season 3 was.
I really liked the premise of the Enterprise becoming an AI. I imagine another generation of the Enterprise having one that works for them.
I also liked the last scene in the holodeck when everyone is celebrating and the 3 Enterprise crew members in there drinking champagne just as the holodeck program ends. That was a really nice touch.
Speaking of comparing notes, I would love to see you guys Meet up with red letter media some time.
Next... Ro's Betrayal.
I wonder if the two last episodes you did them with special love.
There was more of emergency than emergence in this episode.
Nope, impulse speed IS sublight speed.... that's the speed to....say....go from Earth to the Moon. Impulse speeds are what maneuvering thrusters alone produce.
I mean, at least it wasn't Nagilum.
my dumbass was looking for jeff bridges 4:00
7:36 why does that street look so weird and unnatural
there really should have been a follow up on this story.
Wait... that old guy... wasn't he in The Big Lebowski?
That's why they called him 'The Big Lebowski' throughout the whole video, I should imagine ...

just finish next generation all seasons in 1 month exactly. my most fav season was season 5 and least fav was 1 and 6.
I feel like this episode was written by semi-literate undergraduates who were tripping balls.
Thanks for the snarky review. This episode was just on in the last month, yet I don’t a remember it.
Ah yes this is one of those epiosdes where i looked around me and thought God i hope no one sees me watching this shit.
Problem was this episode and others of s7 were not what many of us expected. Final season, it was supposed to be super epic. OK. All good things Ok, but we already knew there was a movie coming soon, so it was like the series' ending wasn't a real ending. That was the reason I just have Picard s3 after the end of all TNG.
And the last episode didn't fill my expectations either, build up and not epic Climax.
Anyways, it's an ending and it was great fanservice. Not too good at the end of the day, but not bad, it was like ST, yes. Not like the awful series with weird 🤔😂 Klingons
I was a huge TNG and still am; but man I forgot how terrible some of these later episodes are.
excited for DS9 if you fellas are up for it
I blame you two for me realizing Teyla and Ronan were making fun of Star Trek when they made up science reasons for the delay when they were actually keeping the bad guy from noticing everything should have been done
What episode of Atlantis was that?
Slowing to impuse is literally coming out of warp , im guessing this is a satire video ?
oh no. This episode. I still feel like it's one of the silliest, stupidest episodes. The holodeck seems like the dumbest techobabble tech piece, ever.
90's crazy straw 🤣😂🤣😂
This is a -D episode. it felt flat and pointless.
music for the outro/grading segment?
"Monkeys Are Coming" by Coyote Hearing
It must be Monday!
Maybe a star trek generations review after season seven and the other movies
Brilliant. It was a bit of a ridiculous story, had potentially but had no depth.
Almost done boys. And one of the finest episodes is coming up. Always been a big fan of "Preemptive Strike."
21 minutes?
Two more episodes to go 😢
This episode isn't so much bad, just stupid.
Black guy comes with me to shovel coal.
PLEASE DO DS9!
Also this is the worst episode of the entire series. Its boring and stupid and forgettable.
This was just such a boring episode. Sub Rosa is at least hilarious. This is just confusing and so boring. Boring. I forgot to mention that it's boring. Oh, and it's boring.
I detest the nerd commentaries. Just post the 20 minutes of TNG so I can cook & zone out!
not this episode
1:48 juss sayin'
that was an awful episode
