You forgot the episode where
they did the anoying modern day blue futuristic space ship trope, where the q proof lady remained from the temporal paradox and knew verything was wrong.
Like, it looks modern.
like theyh are even doing it in 2020, and it's considered kind of new,except with more holograms.
What makes the smiley face in the warp core breach cloud even funnier is how Picard laughs, stops, then points at it and laughs again.
Like "Get it? Hehehe"
Wonder if he got a little rads from that?
Yep! 😂🤣. My favorite WTF TNG moment (next to Picard waking up in bed next to Q) and in DS9 Kira with Quark's head in the holosuite. 😮
I admit - I actually laughed when I saw the smiley.
Laughing in the face of danger.
The morgue scene in Night Terrors still gives me chills to this day… 😬
Me too. Was really surprised they used that scene in a Trek show.
Gates McFadden did an amazing job in that episode.
@@davidbennettracing538 I don't really remember that episode,I remember the lady merged into the floor nothing else.Gates was such a-BABE-back then. Sirtis too. LOL. They were my eye candy.
Yeah 10 corpses suddenly sitting up in body bags was unnerving as hell for an 11 year old
Same!
Data stabbing Troi in Phantasms is a major WTF moment for me. Spider- Barclay appearing out of nowhere in Genesis still freaks me out every time even though i know it's coming.😂
The WTF moment in Genesis was when Dr. Crusher wasn't facing criminal charges for mutating the entire crew. At the very least some kind of medical board should be doing a formal inquiry. They just laughed it off like it was no big deal. Another day at the office. I guarantee that if my doctor mutated someone, he would have some hard questions to answer.
Data stabbing Troi has nothing on line Troi cake. Of course, there's also Picard's Android phone from the same episode.
I would add Riker being told his arm had been surgically removed and reattached in Schisms to the list!
Pretty much all of Schisms creeps me out. That clicking sound…
Ufo abduction episode.
Riker's expression on learning about that pretty much says it all, too!
That whole thing with those creatures freaked me the heck out. Ugh
that whole episode is pretty f*cked up
The fact that the alien in The Child flew up Troi's vag onscreen is a bigger WTF than the briefing room discussion.
that's not clear and is not clarified on the show. she is suddenly and inexplicably pregnant. since the alien is shown as a light flying around the ship from room to room and person to person, it's not logical to say it was restricted by having to enter her body through her vag entrance. it might have planted a viable embryo directly in her womb. might still qualify as a wt* moment.
Hopefully it just phased into her belly like it phased through the ship's hull. As it is, it was still rapey, since she didn't consent to getting pregnant by some space alien.
...
I think the episode where Data was dreaming about the miners and Deana was a cake was full of WTF moments especially the parts when he was awake and they thought he was losing it and becoming violent.
I thought of that one too.
Yeah, I was fully expecting that episode to be on this list. Nothing more 'WTF' than 'Neuropeptide cake with mint frosting'.
@@buckrodgers1162& add seeing Riker drinking the blood of his co-worker through a straw
@@PolGara0139,
Yeah. I mean what was it that Ace Ventura always said? "Yummy!" That entire episode was just begging for a vid like this, and got nothing but the shaft; That in itself is kind of a 'WTF moment'.
A cellular peptide cake... With mint frosting
the officer phasing through the floor and re-materializing half way killing them is straight out of the old 80s movie The Philadelphia Experiment
Yep, it had just come out and people were utterly horrified at the thought of melding into a ship's hull. That scene in The Philadelphia Experiment gave me nightmares as a kid... and then Star Trek had to go and reawaken that horror.
Which is straight out of old D&D games. Wizards who screw up their distances while teleporting can end up half in/half out of solid matter.
@@cmay7429Loool, irrelevant reference.
@@flybeep1661 No more than "The Philadelphia Experiment." The game has been around since the 70s and has been hugely influential on sci-fi and fantasy culture for decades. Including the 80's.
That woman that phased thru the floor in the thumbnail freaked me out when I was a kid. I remember being upset and wondering about how she felt, was her death instantaneous (she managed to scream for like a split second), how was she extracted from the floor, etc.
*i would guess that it was done using the transporters and locking on to her remaining dna patterns...but that's just personal speculation on my part...would still be kinda icky to know where it happened and then later walk over the same place later once cleaned up*
It reminded me of the movie "The Philadelphia Experiment"
I wondered the same thing. That creepy image stayed with me for a long time after that episode.
As an adult when it came out, it was one which gave me nightmares!
@@scottmantooth8785 would have been worse if she'd still been alive for a few moments afterwards....
I'm a little surprised that the Bluegill "mother-creature" inhabiting Lt. Cmdr. Remmick from TNG S1 E25 episode 'Conspiracy' didn't make this list. Though, the UK audience may consider it more of a horrific jump-scare moment than a "WTF?" moment. Maybe it's simply an out-of-sight and out-of-mind moment for list compilers due to the fact that the episode was censored by the BBC for many years.
I'm fairly certain it was in the original airing, but all subsequent airings it was edited. I fully remember seeing the unedited version once in the early 90s then seeing repeats with those scenes missing.
Yeah, Remmick literally getting his head blown off with the parasite queen inside his gaping torso... 'Alien' had nothing om that. I dunno how that didn't traumatize me as a kid. I'm guessing my mom kept me from watching it (she was huge Trekkie back during the TNG era)
I remember watching that when it aired, my mother very quickly covering my eyes, and then getting so upset that she nearly wrote to the station, but couldn't be bothered to look up an address.
I never knew this scene existed like that in its entirety. German televion - at least in the 80s when the show ran in the early afternoon - did cut a few seconds out of it.
I was expecting ‘Genesis’ as a whole to make it on this list. Spider Barclay alone was 😵
Spider-Barklay's a menace!!
@@GabePuratekuta You can't say those things about Spider-Barclay, it's slander
@@GabePuratekuta How much you pay 4 pix of him?
I also disliked that greatly lol.
I never,ever rewatch that episode. LOL.
I’ve always felt Tasha’s death was really effective. It was violent and random, without glory, as most death is. And then the toying with the rest of the crew, but also the emptiness of it for a being that knows only hate, and so can’t take pleasure in it’s actions something it clearly desires, just makes everything so effective and real.
IIRC, Worf called it; "a meaningless death" almost saying without saying, technically, it did not qualify as a 'Warriors' death.
Sucks that appearing in Playboy killed her career
Phlox actually had in enterprise performed the memory erasing technique on Degra after they had captured and tricked him into revealing the location of the xindi weapon.
I was thinking the same thing about Bashir doing it to Worf's brother....but then remembered this list is for TNG only.
Yeah, he does act like Palaski was a unique and new, but I always had the impression that it had been done years prior (before the ENT episode was made). But yeah, I don't think its something Starfleet cares to use, but it makes since to have the technique around. Also, if Palaski had just come up with it, I doubt that her first choice in patients would have been a child.
@@jhmcd2 from my memory lol they've only used it 3 times on screen. I think lol
The entire point of Deanna’s pregnancy was to highlight how men in power think they can control women’s reproductive rights. The episode was about choice.
Phlox knew a lot of procedures that weren't standard (or even commonly known) in the Federation, and wasn't squeamish in his ethics
Don't forget Trip's clone (I feel bad for forgetting his name)
The idea that 'Starfleet trying to decide what happened with Troi's unborn child is appalling' completely disregards the full context.
The child came from an unknown alien source and was growing at an unprecedented rate. Under those circumstances the choice of what is to happen with that child is NOT Troi's because it is a security concern that could potentially end all life onboard (and nearly did). Simply allowing Troi cart blanche with an entity of unknown origin based solely on the fact it had to come out of her via birth after invading her body without consent is a lot like if they had given control of the ship to Troi when she was possessed by that 'spirit criminal' from that episode where she, Data and O'Brien all got taken over. It's simply an unacceptable level of risk.
Exactly. It wasn’t what you’d call a typical pregnancy in any way. Her body was basically invaded by an alien life entity for its own purposes. Under ordinary circumstances, yes it would’ve been outrageous for Worf, Data, and the others to weigh in on the issue, but having an alien invade your body and hijack your reproductive system isn’t an everyday occurrence.
I was thinking the same thing. The presenter is acting as if they were discussing a regular pregnancy. I was WTFing his WTF lol
Even under those circumstances, they should have been less, uh, sexist about it at the very least somehow?
I quit reading episodic reviews from TrekCore because they did precisely that. This is where I call it quits with Trek Culture too for the same reason. Marcus, sorry, but you should've stayed wherever you've been.
Right? Basically "An unknown alien with unknown motives has infected the body of one of our Bridge crew."
No kidding they're gonna talk about it.
Also, as soon as Troi was like "I'm gonna see what happens" they accepted it...
The episode Schisms has a few WTF moments. Like the holodeck program, or when you hear that one of the crew returned where his blood has turned to a polymer.
As a teenager, that episode creeped me out more than just about any other for the time. I can still remember the clicking/chattering sounds in the darkness of the holodeck.
It was a very effective way for a show about people familiar and comfortable with aliens to still have a mysterious alien abduction plot.
Do aliens just not want to pick up a textbook/download a medical database?
@@Thornbloom Maybe their scanners couldn't pick up on the tech but could pick up biomatter. Also, a medical database doesn't help you if you can't understand the language. It would be like giving someone who can only read English a book written in Chinese.
@@dashkataey1740 if you have a textbook of your own you can identify analogous organs and terms. Still better to have a native speaker but anyone that's developed television has provides you with a lexicon.
@@Thornbloom But that's assuming that the aliens have similar organs. What if the aliens don't have hearts, don't have livers, or a stomach, their brains are in a different place, etc? This is the problem with just looking at a picture database but not knowing what any of it means.
How about when Picard and Riker phasered Remmick at the end of Conspiracy? That alien that popped up took up most of his torso. I guess Remmick didn’t need any internal organs after he was posessed.
*very eeew moment to be sure*
Because he was no more than a human skinsuit for that Bluegill.
That is probably one of the most censored episodes of _Star Trek,_ because of that scene.
Possibly the worst visual effect in TNG.
This was my biggest WTF TNG moment.
Soooooo, no Remmick being hit with phasers to the point his chest burned open and his head exploded? That had to be the biggest of the biggest WTF moments in TNG's episodes... :S
That was pretty gruesome.
It wasn't a clean death like the homeless guy in the Edith Keeler episode who accidentally shot himself in the face with McCoy's phaser and his whole body disappeared.
It was,I never thought the show would go there,but,I was wrong.
This series still can't be bested today. It was real entertainment.
I do loves me some Trek, but I would put Babylon 5 above Trek. And I'd say The Expanse in a lot of ways is a better show. Not all around better, not a better show, just better in some ways.
Actually, I consider the original series, Babylon 5 and the reboot of Battlestar Galactica all to be better.
@@thomassmith6232 Agreed, on all three. They were all FAR better than TNG.
I think the Borg just showing up for the first time deserves mention, tbh
It's like "It's a frickin cube, so what" and then they proceed to utterly wreck the Enterprise Crew's shit.
Ok. Once again, Denise Crosby asked to leave the show. I don't know why there are people who still think this was some arbitrary decision by the higher ups.
But, in a conversation with Troi informing her had killed Tasha Yar, Artemis said it was "too easy". Troi then said, "You wanted her to suffer". So it stands to reason that Artemis sucked Riker into the tar to torture him before killing him. Same thing with Data. Artemis thought it would being Data pain to shoot & kill one of his comrades or bring Data fear at the prospect of dying himself. Since Data was going to be unphased by either, Artemis wasn't getting the satisfaction he thought he would & ended it. Probably wasn't get as much satisfaction as he hoped he would out of torturing Riker either.
Not to disagree with you, but it's "Armus", not ""Artemis." And yeah, she did ask to leave the show, and I think you're right about Armus wanting to make people suffer. After all, killing someone quickly is nowhere near as evil as torturing.
Regardless, it was a terrible episode that did Tasha dirty. Her death should have been memorable in a heroic way, not because it was part of one of the most badly written episodes of the entire series.
@@jase_allen It was not badly written, it was intentionally terrible because she dared to complain about the non-existent character development. So they killed her off in a hand wavey way when she told them she might not want to continue a stuck character.
There's the time Troi's body was in the form of a "peptide cake" and yet capable of speech. Granted it was one of Data's "dreams" but still, kind of creepy.
I was hoping the Deanna Cake would be on here, but I guess it's not as dark as some of the other examples.
Don't forget the mint frosting!
Deana cake was more scay as she was begging Data not to cut her...
almost as terrifiying as the terminator being pressed by that... human!
Fantastic break-down! Will be re-watching several of these. Definitely have to add the scene in S4E17 Night Terrors when all the bodies under the sheets in the cargo hold suddenly sat up while Dr. Crusher was all alone, and just all of S7E6 Phantasms in general for the freaky imagery.
one torpedo makes the enterprise go boom
Sub Rosa haunts my dreams to this day!
The illegal phaser death is the most brutal death in TNG, hands down. I'm still surprised it aired on tv, it was super brutal.
It's not really that strange that there was a debate over Troi's surprise pregnancy in "The Child," if you bother to think about it beyond modern politics a moment. A surprise pregnancy as the result of an unknown alien influence with equally unknown intentions that could very well endanger the ship and crew? Yeah...the captain kinda needs to bring his senior staff up to speed on things like that. But if you look at Picard's body language...even _he_ isn't comfortable with how that conversation turned into a debate--or how fast it went there. Just think about how quickly he agreed with Troi that what happened with the pregnancy itself was _her_ choice when she told everyone off! Frankly, I think he was after getting options for how to handle various scenarios--same as he would with any other situation--but the decision to allow the pregnancy to progress or not was always ultimately hers so long as it wasn't a clear and present danger to her, the crew, or the ship.
And that's the other bit. It's important to remember that, benevolently-minded, exploration-focused, and relatively informal about hierarchy as they might be, Starfleet is the Federation's _military,_ and a Starfleet vessel is still a _military_ ship operating in a profoundly hostile environment (space). There are times when a personal decision is taken out of your hands by your commander for the sake of the ship. It's not nice, but it _is_ sometimes necessary. And there was a huge possibility that it would _be_ necessary given how much they simply _did not know_ at that point in the episode.
There was a slightly similar storyline in the series Space 1999, except the child was an agent for invading aliens. The episode was number 7, named Alpha Child.
I’m also reminded of the S2 episode where those people steal Riker and Pulaski’s DNA and clone them without permission. Then Will just straight up vaporizes the clones without even thinking twice.
The episode " The Child" was originally written for the "almost produced " series Star Trek Phase II that was set to be another TV series aimed for airing in 1977. When Star WARS was such a success, Paramount opted to go for a full blown theatrical release, Star Trek - The Motion Picture. So the initial story line was written in 1975-76. The Child was the FIRST episode of the 2nd season of STTNG aired on November 21st, 1988. by that time the storyboard was at least 12 years old. ...... useless trivia?? Heck yeah !!
You beat me to it - good synopsis.
I know, right? I'm late to the party and made a similar comment. Obviously the writers of this channel wanted to inject their politics :P
I like to think that, for the episode where the Enterprise's computer remarked "I understand" to Data, it wasn't gaining self-awareness, it wat the computer having a limited element of actual AI in it's coding. After all, the ship had multiple holodecks where each of which can called upon to create characters that must speak, act and respond to people as if they were real people themselves. Moriarty was created on the holodeck after Geordie asked the computer to, and rather erroneously remarked, "create a character that can defeat Data". Also consider the fact that a full blown AI was created and put into an average human sized mechanical body, twice: Data and Lore. I don't think it's far fetched that a computer core that can stretch multiple decks can have a slice of AI code injected into it rather than having billions of phrase combinations and appropriate responses coded in. The memory of such a program would be insanely huge, even for the gargantuan memory sizes ship computers ran. It'd be easier to program an AI to listen to context and build a reply, and using this to essentially tell Data to shut up.
The cold open to Cause and Effect is my number 1 because this was the moment i became a Star Trek fan
Can't believe you missed the one with the parasite that infected people. It ended with Picard and Riker using their phasers on someone frying the skin of their head before it explodes. Then an alien emerges from his stomach which again gets hit by the phasers until it to explodes.
I'm actually surprised that the "Deanna Troi as a cake" didn't get a mention. 'Phantasms' fucked me up so much as a kid that I still get random blips of her as a cake in dreams. Precisely the reason hyperrealistic cakes of people are a huge NOPE for me. Inanimate objects are just fine though.
When you mention 'Captain Picard day' I thought to all the other Galaxy class ships most of which had a bad end. They all had kids on them too!?
Kinda fucked up ain't it...although I'm pretty sure the Galaxy class ships we see get destroyed are usually on assignments that wouldn't allow the families to be on board, the Enterprise is on a long term deep space exploration mission so the crew could bring their immediate family, but the others we see are usually on patrol or part of a combat fleet, so chances are there weren't kids on board in those cases...probably....
Yep... it was the Galaxy class innovation so crew and families didn't have to be apart for years.
Makes the USS Yamamoto’s saucer section hull peeling off after the warp core exploded even more horrible.
@@joermnyc
Yeah, the way that the Yamato's saucer kind of just... dissolves was more than a bit traumatising (and I saw it for the first time as a kid). 😧
They said in the episode that USS Odyssey's civilians had been offloaded at DS9 before the ship webt through the wormhole.
Code of Honor is right up there with debating Troi's alien pregnancy
That lady in the floor is SO out of nowhere in this episode I always forget about it until she turns the corner.
Plus I feel bad about the cleanup crew, they’ll either have to cut out the floor segment or the Her out. Space anomalies are terrifying.
A reference to the Philadelphia experiment which resulted in the creation of cream cheese spread for bagels.
I worried something like that might happen the second I saw Picards ready room stuff in the floor. Humans are just mater, after all...
@@4aw50fGold some lower Deckers will take care of that. But it could be something, they could add to a lower decks episode
@@4aw50fGold They probably used the transporter to remove her.
I kind of wonder if the Captain Picard day is a kind of thing that most ships in the Federation have with a "Captain Day" type thing, but it's, essentially, a minor holiday thing tied to something like the anniversary of the Captain assuming command as more of a break thing and an excuse for various other things there.
From what i understand, few ships had families living on them, the Galaxy class of which theres only about 5 at most in service at one time, so its feasible these could of had other captain days, one of the few exceptions was Sisko's family being on the Reliant with him when it was attacked.
@@ikitclaw7146 I would assume that there were several other ships with families as well, perhaps a tradition continued from pre-Federation time where you had extremely long haul routes before the better warp drives such as the NX-01 had.
Starfleet would still need the freight transport for their own work along with long range transport for other things. You might also have crews for dedicated colony ships that might have families of the actual crews permanently there alongside whatever colonists they were transporting with them.
While it's in Beta, there was a discussion about a ship type similar to the Galaxy in size that would be, essentially, a wandering school.
Yar dying like a redshirt was a powerful choice, it gave the impression that the main crew weren't off-limits (unlike TOS)
It gave more weight and danger to later episodes, especially the Best of Both Worlds cliffhanger
BobW was the result of Patrick Stewart not having decided to return for the next season or not.
@@Nick1979BN for anyone following behind the scenes (I wasn't) it would have made it even more of a cliffhanger, I suppose
@@347Jimmy not back in the day without internet and stuff😁
1:53 they could have transported Captain Riker and his crew cause being from a different universe,his removal from their timeline wouldn’t matter. Then they could have had 3 Rikers in the show
From a strictly timeline PoV, it was Dr Phlox who came up with the memory erasing technique and not Pulaski. He used it to erase Degras' short term memories after Enterprise captured him.
The episode Sub Rosa eas a WTF moment the entire runtime.
Literally! 😄
In Episode 9 of Picard season 3 the funniest line was when Seven called Data The Robot. ):
Damn! Not seen the episode, but that seems like a serious baktag move, especially coming from a cybernetic being like a former Borg drone.
@@Dan19870 So sorry I hope I did spoil anything for ya. Did not know. My bad.
@@demonof9 Nope, I'm good Sir. Thank you for your concern.
What about the episode Genesis, where everyone started devolving? Troi turned into a fishlady, Riker was a grunting caveman, and Worf turned into an acid-spitting monster.
In "Parallels" the ship wasn't destroyed by a photon torpedo. It was mentioned that their fire power wasn't strong enough to destroy it. The Enterprise from the Borg infested universe simply exploded on its own.
There's a scene in the movie Philadelphia Experiment where a crewmember merges with the deck... supposedly based on a real event. Wonder if that could have inspired the woman sinking into the deck scene?
Probably.
It happened off-camera but in the new Battlestar Galactica there was a team of viper pilots who emergency jumped in close to a planet.
One of the viper's transponders was sending out a signal from within a mountain.
Ouch.
@@protorhinocerator142 And future archaeologists might discover it and think, "WTF?'
I came to the comments to suggest that's what they were alluding to in that scene.
This death creeped me out, looking at it now it still creeps me out. She is dead but her eyes are open and she is looking at something? lol
And she screamed... yet her face doesn't show terror nor is her mouth open...
People die with their eyes, and mouth, open.
Trust me.
I imagine she was holding a tricorder.
The excess blood in her skull from the pressure of being squashed is still leaking out of her nose too =/
"What can I do to prove that I'm human?"
"Die."
"Very funny, Worf. Eat any good books lately?" 😊
And, yeah, that top one fresked me out.
You forgot Sub Rosa. That entire episode is a WTF were the writers thinking, and the ghost giving Crusher a good ol' time in her quarters.
Yeah, Crusher falls in love with the space ghost that banged her grandmother. Who thought *that* was a good idea?
I suspect someone was an Anne Rice fan. Why not "borrow" from one of the best? 😁
Marcus has emerged from the temporal anomaly!
"Welcome to the Twenty-Fourth Century."
Surprised no Sub Rosa, unless maybe we're categorizing the issue with it to be more about the premise than any given moment.
Yeah, the Lt through the floor, that has stayed with me since I saw it back in the day. There are moments that I am sure are supposed to be more impactful, eg Picard's torture by Madred, but if there is one 'spine shiver' moment from TNG, or maybe any ST, it's actually this one.
No mention (although there is a clip) of the cold open for 'Cause and Effect '? They blew up the ship and everyone in it!
I wonder if the three kids from Disaster were the ones who spearheaded Captain Picard Day. 😊
Nah. The day after Disaster, Picard Tossed all three kids down the turbo-shaft.
LOL
What is also a bit weird is Maytar was facing the opposite way that she was walking when she phased through the floor.
They actually used the memory erasing technique in DS9 to erase ALL of Kurn’s memories.
But if you do that they forget how to breathe.
@@protorhinocerator142no, breathing is autonomic.
@@vic5015 Then why do delivery specialists spank newborn babies?
@@protorhinocerator142 They don't? at least not anymore, its a bs and outdated practice.
When they humored the idea of an alien society executing Wesley because he fell onto a greenhouse instead of just beaming him back to the ship.
Yeah, that was taking the Prime Directive too far.
I always had a WTF moment with the episode 'The Next Phase', where Geordi and Ro Laren apparently die in that transporter accident but just get cloaked by the romulan device. I always found it puzzling that they were able to pass through walls etc. (esp. in the chase scene with the romulan) but somehow never fell through the floor (which they actually should logically speaking and die instantly).
The difference is that walls don't have gravity plating.
The last one is based on the SciFi film "The Philadelphia Experiment" where an experiment into ship cloaking resulted in the ship ending up out of phase (along with the episode where riders previous ship got phased into an asteroid.)
"Phantasms" was definitely one! Especially cake Deanna!! (Shutters!)
Actually, what happened with Dianna makes since, and works. The whole point was for her to stand up for herself, and I liked the way it worked.
Have been poorly and watching all of these and I love that they don’t edit some of the V/O flubs. It feels like my friend having a nice chat with me
The Squarespace ad is one of the best things I've ever seen and it's a joy every single time lol
What was missed here on Pen Pals was the ever growing wonder on why Data would give her something that didn't exist on her planet. I mean, her memory was erased! She'll wake up wondering where the singing rock came from and be baffled for the rest of her life.
I forgotten when the crew all made comments on Troi’s pregnancy and if she should keep it without even consulting her her opinion, that is a WTF moment indeed.
There would be the question of if she was being influenced by the entity.
Remember we are not talking about a normal conception and pregnancy.
It's a relic of the 80s to be sure. Well, scratch that, it's still something that Boomers do nowadays wand its very annoying
What's even more wtf is that some people actually do that today 😶
Yes, and then Troi was like "I'm keeping it. Period." Prrompting Picard to be all "Ok. Now that that's settled, what's next on the Senior Staff Meeting agenda ?"
Diana's predicament seems very much like what Florida (among others) is doing today. Command is deciding the fate of the unborn, in front of the person.
Welcome back Marcus!! I've missed your posts here on TrekCulture! You and Sean are my favorites!!!
I was waiting for the scene with Troi as a cellular peptide cake but was bitterly denied.
... with mint frosting.
Is anyone surprised that Riker was indigestible?
😂
I never thought Picard Drew the face in the warp core breach. I just assumed it was a hallucination due to the shielding failing on his arm band thing.
Or, his mind was being made bonkers by the shield failing so he drew the smiley
I dunno, I always felt like the others were pretty clearly able to see and reacting to the face.
Same.
He clearly drew it as Data & the others were able to see it.
Much like the Flash might, Picard was able to draw on the cloud because it was moving so slowly due to its suspension in time.
I swear #1 reminds me of what I heard about the Philadelphia Experiment with crewmembers merging with the Eldridge so that half of them were in the structure/super-structure of the ship.
That woman's death gave me nightmares. Imagine phasing through solid matter only for it to become solid again, binding with your body at the molecular level.
Reminded me of that crewman in Philadelphia Experiment who was found melted into the floor after the Eldridge returned
@@HarryMudd Same.
Thank you for getting
Marcus out of the brig.
The best show host.
Pinchy is a Spanish curse word. Be careful
Welcome back, Marcus! I find your voice the best!
My favorite was nr. 2 with the self aware computer telling Data to get on with it. 😂
Welcome back Marcus!!! It's good to hear your voice again. I hope you're keeping well.
WB Marcus!!! And thanks for hosting these masterpieces of ST WTF moments.
Nice to see you back Marcus!
As bad as Lieutenant Van Mayters's death was, a whole bunch of people went through it on the Pegasus.
true, but they were never "on screen".
@@omega311888Still though, half the ship materialising inside the asteroid with the remaining crew still on board is truly horrifying.
S01E08 Justice had some crazy WTF moments, the entire planet filled with half-naked people fornicating in public...the showdown of Conspiracy was also quite 'surprising' to say the least, a-class gore splatter with the Admiral's head exploding on screen :D
Welcome back, Bronzy! Missed ya, dawg!
Lore was a fun villain, and all the episode Datalore was a good one, but for the whole episode I (even as a kid) didn't think there was going to be anything that threw off the status quo or broke the usual Star Trek story structure. But when Lore shot Dr. Crusher, JUST to teach her a lesson, and for a moment it looked like he blew her arm off, it freaked the hell out of me!
Parallels: Thousands of Enterprise-Ds and on every single one Riker is hiking that knee up. 😆
Marcus!!!! Missed ya mate. Great entry today!
Maaaaarrrrrrcuuuuuuuuusssssss! It’s so good to have you back. Brilliant vid, executed how only you could have done it. Nothing against the others, but I’ve been sad without you.
Okay about the warp core breach, but try being a kid seeing that, not quite getting how the smiley face there, and then remembering Evil Otto from Berzerk. A sudden smiley face on a cloud of plasma frozen in time with a laughinh Picard losing his mind is a scary place to be, sometimes.
Wait, no Deanna cake? 🤣
Lt. Van Mayter´s death serves a purpose. It make some bugs in Star Trek Online in which NPCs are stuck in walls as canon. 🤣
Van Mayter's death probably had the silliest behind-the-scenes stuff going on of anything on the list.
Great to have you back Marcus!!
Geordi reconstructing the hidden shadow figure on the holodeck was creepy as hell.
Dr Bashir wiped Worf's brothers memory almost entirely to prevent him from attempting to kill himself
That's interesting cause memory wipe is also used in an episode of Deep space nine on Worfs brother when he was given a new identity.
Having a giant barrette slide down over your eyes to blind you has been a big wtf since day 1
Do you know who else knows the Vulcan nerve pinch? Looooone Star!! 😂
The ceti eels in WRATH OF KHAN traumatized me some as a child when I first saw it in theater. those eels were DISGUSTING and it was horror seeing them dig into their victims ears. They were one of the grossest creatures Star Trek ever came up with and I am surprised that it did not give Wrath of Khan an R rating.
#1 on this list should be the episode where Data has crazy dreams and sees Diana as a cake he has to cut. That episode still gives me nightmares.
The one in Star Trek classic when Charlie used his Q like powers to seal peoples mouths
The last WTF with the crewman stuck in the deck reminds me of The Philadelphia Experiment, where sailors in Ww2 were reported in similar situation when they tried to make a ship invisible.
When the crew starts devolving, Barclay turns into a spider and eats crew members.
The scene from TOS where a woman had her face removed, and apparently died from not being able to breath, gave me nightmares as a kid.
"Why else would they float him in the air with his giblies hanging out" 😂
Nice to hear Marcus again!💯🙂
I always thought the one where Deanna Troi was a cake and they kept cutting her up and eating her like it was a birthday party was pretty weird!
Straw in Riker's neck.
It would have been even funnier if the Enterprise computer was sentient enough to tell Wesley to Shut Up! 😂🤣
Great to see you Marcus, and with a bang!
Oh boy... Its a "marcus" episode..... And I am here for it. Welcome back sir.
"Crushed instantly" "Quick death" Considering that most of the vital organs are above the floor, this must have been a rather slow and agonizing death... Terrible to imagine.
