This is taken from my Star Trek The Next Generation Moments project that I'm working on. As happened with the TV series, which had a makeover in their Third Season, I have also edited the info banner to make it easier to read.
The project will show the best of STNG in a series of memorable moments from each episode. My personal favourites are longer but I still have some work to do on it, see what you think.
But please watch it from my STNG Moments Playlist, that way you can see each episode as they are meant to be seen. • Star Trek Moments TNG ...
Summery.
Episode : 54. The Enterprise falls victim to an ancient booby trap set to snare starships; while in an effort to find an escape, Geordi finds himself falling for the holodeck's representation of a famous Federation engineer. Guest star Susan Gibney as Dr. Leah Brahms. - บันเทิง

Picard: drifting starships like a boss
Like your boss? What kind of work do you do?
DEJA VU!
Fast and the Furious, Promellian Drift.
"You have used the asteroid's gravitational pull as a slingshot, excellent."
Ride or die Mr. Data, ride or die.
😎😎
While everyone on board is dangerously close to dying, Geordi locks himself in the holodeck and desperately tries to get laid with a computer animated hologram.
+GAME4WAR hmmm when everything 'holo' dematerialises at the end of the session, there'll be a pool of spunk left on the floor :D
Sublime Thinker
I am sure Picard would not approve but Riker sure would. He never exists a holodeck without leaving his spunk on the floor.
*****
lol theres a load of re-edited next generation comedy storyline clips on youtube where that comes up from time to time :D
That's the true booby trap.
She was the one trapping Geordi with her boobies.
1:43
La forge: Shutting down all systems
ST Computer: Installing updates.. Do not turn off your systems.
Geordie! You turned off the fucking maneuvering thrusters you arse!

hehe.
And also 3:26....
:-P
One of Picard's badass moments. Get up kid. I got this.
Yeah it's about time they stopped acting like Crusher was good at everything
@@80s_Boombox_Collector I hated Wesley too, but this scene always bothered me. Iirc rikers thing was he was one of the best pilots in star fleet. Why would Picard do this and not riker? Or, you know the freaking android.
😅😅😅😊
Wesley would be able to handle it but picard was acting as a leader or captain would if they are too be destroyed than he rather be the cause becasue he did not dohis job at con position remember earlier in he episode the captain of the cruiser took responability for what happened it seems picard did the same thing as any good captain would.
Picard - Parallel Parking a Galaxy Class like a Boss
The D is for drifting
Back in the day he would park a ship with 4 nacelles!
1:09-I relieve you, Mr Crusher
Yes sir
Permenantly. Get off my bridge.
Shut up Wesley
And remember, Geordi volunteered to take the helm before Picard did. Basically everyone was like "Yeah Wesley step aside, you ain't doin' shit."
LOL!
By this time in the third season in the fall of 1989, I vividly remember watching episodes of TNG every week and anticipating what the next episode would bring. This was significantly different from the first two seasons.
TNG did come into it's own by the 3rd season. Wished it could have had a few more but there were a few real duds in the last year or two so may be they were running out of good stories.
Season 3 of TNG is my favorite season of any TV show. No other Star Trek show (well, not TOS, DS9, or Voyager, which admittedly are the only ones I've seen from beginning to end) had a single season that matched its consistently high level of quality. So many great episodes that I enjoy revisiting time and time again.
I do think that, in retrospect, Season 2 is underrated and not as rough as the first season (minus Shades of Grey), but Season 3 is certainly in a league of its own. Seasons 4 and 5 were very good, Season 6 had its ups and downs but was interesting for its attempts at continuity and new character development, and Season 7 was admittedly a bit weak though I'm glad that the show at least did have a great finale.
Part of the problem I think was the loss of Gene Roddenberry during Season 5 and the heavier involvement of Brannon Braga in the last two seasons. He's the one who put Worf with Troi and came up with many of those bizarre "dream" episodes (and I do like Frame of Mind, but the general direction of his ideas was weird).
Fun fact: Geordi had first based the scientist's personality on her actual logs, but changed it to what we here because it was too abrasive to work with. In a later episode the actual scientist herself came aboard and finds the simulation. She was more than a little upset.
It worked out, they collaborated on research papers that made the next warp drives possible.
Good thing Jean-Luc spent so many hours playing the video game "Asteroids" when he was a kid.
"Mr. LaForge! I need quarters! Lots and lots of quarters!"
Yup, ASTEROIDS in real time in the Van Allen Belt. But that is what got Wesleys classmate killed in the later episode.
"Thank you, Mr. Data" - *Patrick Stewart mancrush intensifies*
One of Picard's finest mic drop moments.
Butterfingers.
Man's next evolutionary step: falling in-love with holograph technology. lol
It would be far better than trying to get with a modern day woman who shits all over chivalry.
Kevin Phoenix hey, I'm all for convenience (and exceptional technology). With a holo program...I'm In and Out. lol
Robots/androids are next, in my estimation.
Holographs dont betray you
Only applies to 'needing it' on short notice.
Great scene. Picard, cool under pressure as usual.

And here I thought Barclay was the only one with a holodeck problem.
It's not a problem if you don't get caught!
... Geordi got caught, unfortunately.
I'm not as surprised that Picard thought about the slingshot idea, but I'm surprised that a 24th century starship computer and andriod cannot compute all possible scenarios and course changes before a human being based on the given conditions. Data's reply to the maneuver should not be of "you've used the gravitational pull of the asteriod as a slingshot, excellent," which gives me the impression that he did not even considered that possibility (or he is just pretending that he did not know to make Picard look as stupid when comparing to him). It should be more of a "that was one of the million other possible options that I computed to increase the velocity of a vessel, but that was one of the top ones that I would have chosen too sir."
+techracer2003 It's a TV show. The drama must be maintained at all times.
+techracer2003 a 24th century computer, unless a multi-dimensional one is conceived and built - could not even compute all the moves of Chess or Go, right? LOL let alone all the "possible scenarios" humans can "think"
chess is a solved game computationally
I know this is an old comment, but I do have the answer.
The reason the computer couldn't do it had to do with the trap itself. In order to pilot the ship, a significant number of systems would have to be active which would increase the radiation output of the assimilators.
Why the computer can get the _Enterprise_ out, it can not do so fast enough due to the accelerated output of the aceton assimilators under those conditions.
Assuming of course that the _Enterprise_ could maintain power output long enough to get out of the field in that scenario, which was the other major issue as the rate of leaching increased with the number of systems active.
This is also why the trap is so effective regardless of how much power your ships can produce.
There's ALWAYS a brown-noser in every group!
Had a crush on Dr. Brahms as an early TNG fan! ;) ;)
You too huh?
NASA used slingshot techniques 'gravity assist' with Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. The maneuver takes kinetic energy from the planet and transfers it directly to the kinetic energy of the spacecraft. Without this special maneuver, they would have remained in orbit around the sun. Neither had enough fuel to go fast enough on their own to escape the sun. Those brilliant brilliant scientists at NASA.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who misread that as Nascar for a bit? 😗😗😗😗😅
One of my favorite Picard moments.
What a LEGENDARY scene of TV entertainment! :D
Ron Jones’s magnificent music was actually two previously used cues that were not intended for this episode. But they sure worked!
The third season is one of my favorites, this is when Star Trek The Next Generation got really good.
"At least I don't get my girlfriends from the holodeck!"
-Barclay, probably
"Exit holodeck. End program."
Geordi, you forgot two words: encrypt program.
Picard's integrity is beyond reproach.
'Booby Trap' - Picard seems to deal with the trap part here, while Geordi handles the 'boobies' :)
Too bad they ware fake lol.
@@paul1979uk2000 Is that the voice of experience?
Who cares? :)
💯
Oh man, Geordi fell in love with a hologram? Dangerous.
Even worse, he failed to clear his browser history😂
"Shutting down *all* systems"
LCARS status, bridge emergency lighting, secondary computer core, and deck lighting, still online.
They need _some_ systems.
Looks like picard was pulling some initial D drifting there.
Initial Enterprise - D
Drifting, starship style
The computer program comes back to bite Geordie in the ass when he forgets to delete his browsing history and the real Leah finds it in the episode Galaxy's child and she's not too pleased about it
Shutting down all systems. Except the flashy red light, that stays on!
Picards mind probably: "I will not fail my crew like that man did...."
When Picard takes the con and the music starts I imagine the violin pirate from the beginning stepping off the turbolift and Geordie trying to wave him away.
this is an underrated episode.
i like the concept of an ancient space race.
Leah Brahms was 🔥. I loved that hairstyle she had in this episode. Reminded me of someone in my High School, a couple of grades up from me. 😀
I bet Mr. Crusher was like oh no, picard demoted me for no reason at all.
So Riker has been established as an excellent pilot, one of the best, but hey let Picard fly the ship when he probably hasn’t logged a flight hour in a decade.
Picard: Shit is getting real, now. Wesley, fuck off and let a professional fly this ship.
He forged his way in there
Picard had his own maneuver before The Riker Maneuver was conceived.
Destroying the Promellian battle cruiser makes no sense. They already turned off the distress signal. The aceton assimilators which are the real problem, are still there in the debris field. You would think Picard would have contacted Starfleet instead to have them figure out a way to retrieve the ship instead of destroying it.
The Cruiser was destroyed due the imminent threat against any following vessels, Plus the assimilators were destroyed by the volley of photon torpedoes, as you can see at time index 3:45. S.E.S. 10.7.2021, A.D.
One of my favourite episodes, definitely of season 3
I never understood why they blew the ship up. The booby traps were in the asteroids, not the ship. Once they were clear, they should have been able to tug the ship out of there.
The ship was the bait.
Jose Garza Not only that, but phasers being more precise would have been absorbed by the assimilators.
Also to mention that a tractor beam would have been absorbed by the assimilators as well as it's a source of energy.
It's a symbol of humanity's increasing reliance/dependence on more and more advanced technology, even in Star Trek. They could have pulled the ship out of there if they'd still kept 'Enterprise' style grappling hooks on their ships.
BartJ583 not really. One reply gives the reason why to blow it up (he didn’t understand why) why use torpedoes instead of phasers, and why tugging the ship out wouldn’t have worked (which he said they could’ve done). Ok, yes, they could’ve blown up the asteroids, but how many would be needed to be destroyed? Quicker and cleaner to remove the bait, and then the asteroid booby traps become somewhat irrelevant.
You have to mop the floors frequently in the Holodeck
The Ship is self-cleaning.
FYI, their initial speed was about 302 miles per hour.
Star Trek Tokyo Drift!! lol
3:12 I'm sorry, but does *Data* not know enough basic physics to be able to predict that?
I loved this episode.
Brilent star trek tng episode seen it loads time ,I did love leah brambs xxx a lot 😀
One of those moments..where the man PERSONALLY does the job..
We use the “vacation game“ to help the whole family. Thanks Siddhartha.
"Way to drift, Captain." ♡ T.E.N.
And Picard says. Mr Crusher you take the con while i go to my ready room and change my shorts......
“Help me, Leah. You’re my only hope.”
Heard several producers wanted Susan Gibney (Dr. Brahms) for Janeway but were over-ruled. That would have been interesting.
jlovebirch apparently, she was also considering for the '7 of 9' role, but Jerri Ryan was chose due to the 'blonde bombshell' factor (and most likely for having massive tits)
Her acting career would have reach a new level if she'd gotten either of those major parts, but 'twas not to be...
+HornyDude83 She did get another guest role on Star Trek however: Commander/Captain Erica Benteen in the DS9 season 4 two-parter "Homefront/Paradise Lost".
+FekLeyrTarg's Videos King Abdullah of Jordan got a part as an extra on Voyager, but it didn't help his acting career :)
+GAME4WAR She was reputedly pretty hostile to Jeri Ryan when her character was introduced into the series. Fear of it turning into the 7 of 9 show I guess.
Shatner had similar insecurities about Nimoys popularity during the original series.
@@HornyDude83 borg implants.
Geordi's waifu.
She is very atractive
+jamaltameem Actress Susan Gibney
@@RiaRadioFMHD773 thanks
She isn’t but ok.
ENTERPRISE IS appleasingly aesthetic!... o.
I'm still trying to figure out what the time signature of that music at 2:10 is. I think it's 13/8, but I'm not sure.
It's at a ratio of, " It's Time to put on your Brown Pans Boys".
No scene with him going "Damn Right!" BOooo!!
You used the gravitational pull of all the rocks around you as a sling shot, chief engineer or data think of the basics lmao.
Creepy Geordi is creepy.
Too bad the real Leah was considerably different... and married!
+George Xanthopoulos That's why Geordi doesn't get all the pussy like riker, also down to that hairband he wears over his eyes too ;)
geordi is the equivalent of a fanatic who's gone to far
jezz what do you expect them to do with a holodeck especially considering they were in the business of exploration of course they are getting their freak on.
It was an interactive computer simulation, not a sentient one. How is that creepy? And you'd do it too, if you had the chance. Don't lie!
@@kevinphoenix2007 @4:07
SUPER creepy, mate. He's e-jizzing in his pants using a hologram of a real person. If that isn't creepy, I don't know what is!
Another third series episode, another epic music score....later series they decided the music shouldn't be so awesome.
"You have comm, Mr. Crusher... (mic drop)
Stupid ending, there was no reason to destroy a priceless/historical 1000+ year old relic like that. The crew already shut off the distress signal earlier, they could have set up warning beacons and notified Starfleet of the danger and function of the assimilators.
With knowledge of the booby trap available, sweeper ship(s) could have come in and cleared a path with unmanned worker probes or maybe a physical grapple could have been attached and slowly moved the ship out. There are like a dozen ways they could have gotten that thing out safely without destroying it, such a waste.
now if the enterprise d had the same kind of impulse drive as the original this episode wouldve been over in a short period. the impulse drives in the original or captain kirk era were like a jet engine kind of thing and those energy machines wouldnt have noticed them. impulse was a chemical based drive system. not like warp which is energy based
The captain should have the flight controls in a critical situation
I remember thinking how silly it was that Data was NOT on to what Picard did, still one of the best science fiction T.V. series.
there was areason for the Lantree: it had modified antibodies aboard
Love the episode. Love this scene...
But I just do not understand why they blew up the battle cruiser...
Once they knew it was there, they could certainly have dealt with it with the science crew that would have followed...
Yeah that is my biggest grip with this episode, no reason to destroy the vessel when they trap is known, pretty sure they could have cleared a path using probes/worker drones an then tractor beamed it out or used a grapple like the old NX class.
They could send a message to Starfleet, who would then put up warning markers about the trap. Then send Science/Engineering teams to clear the assimilators and recover the ship. It woul take time ubt it would pay off.
i thought picard was supposed to have a interest in archaeology he just blew up priceless alien artefacts for no good reason and without even consulting any one else.
That's how you navigate !!!
Then in ST Picard, he forgets how to pilot a starship
I have to say I was quite puzzled by this episode or I should say more accurately this part of the episode where they implying that the holographic representation of doctor Brahms was sentient?
She would have hated Jordy, and why the hell did they destroy that ancient vessel when it could have meant so much more to take it home! They had the sappers mapped by then or could have and once clear could have eliminated them easily, preserved something of immense value, even recreating their species.
+Tomasina Covell She did in a later episode(Galaxy's Child), where the real Dr. Leah Brahms appears on the show.
+Tomasina Covell Do you have a way they could of pulled that vessel out of the boobytrap? They barely had enough power to get out themselves.
Rick Karns
Yeah, but they didn't destroy it until they were at a safe distance, and they could have solved the puzzle somehow once they were restored. Mark the sector and come back, after all they would be at an advantage. So your question is moot.
+Tomasina Covell because the screenwriter wanted a cool explosion in that scene, thats why ;-)
KlunkerRider
Why of course!
Yamaha DX7 electric pianos all over this. Was that sound still in vogue in '89?
worf had 1 job. couldnt even get that right
anyone know what is Dr. Leah Brahms,'s theme song?
They could have used some low technology to pull that ship out of the asteroid field
There's no way that one maneuver put them outside of the asteroid field based on the depth and width of the field that was shown on the view screen. Further, based on the asteroids left of the one used as the slingshot, the ship would've hit one of them.
Joe Momma - that’s why they secretly gave helm control over to Han Solo running in a different holodeck program; one where the Menthar vessel was replaced with a star destroyer, and the addition of a few extra Tie fighters to make it seem more real, and they even replicated the cockpit of the Falcon, with Data playing the part of C-3PO, and Counselor Troi playing the part of Princess Leia!
...they could have destroyed the trap from the outside and left the ship intact :P
Good thing he didnt modify her look for fun sake lol since the real one found it later
Why are the bridge crew looking up at the ceiling when power fluctuates?
the light
It was really nice shot thou.
Yeah talk about awful dispersion, only one torpedo on target, all the others scattered on asteroids around... With this, they could have destroyers assimilators, waited for radiation to clear up and then towed the ship out, of course doing all this after being out of trouble.
DID YOU NOT WATCH THE CLIP????? A TORPEDO DETONATED ON THE CRUISER. PLUS 3 OTHER TORPEDOES DETONATED ON THE ASSIMILATORS.
"It's a booby trap, and we're the boobies."
The holodeck is the booty trap
Gail berline just GPS me from Santa Monica one hour ago
No computer can substitute human intuition.
Full spread photon torpedoes. Worf's field day
Geordi got in deeeep duck-shit for that one :D
An asteroid of that small size would never have such a gravity it can slingshot the Enterprise away from it. It would barely attract it at all.
Depends what it's made of. It's not the size that matters as much as the mass. An asteroid that size made of feathers will have a lot less gravity than an asteroid that size made of iron.
Hollywood special effects. For dramatic purposses. Yo.
Even my 21st century SUV has an engine management system but 25th century Starships “burn out components”.
I know what I'd be doing in that halodeck
I believe I read that the actress with Geordi read for the role of Deanna Troi, and was 2nd choice after Marina Sirtis. Can anyone confirm this? I am sure I read this somewhere.
+Joe Momma What I read, she was considered for the role of Janeway, actually, but ended up being deemed too young. www.startrek.com/database_article/www.startrek.com/article/meet-the-actress-who-almost-played-janeway
Ah, yes! That's exactly the article I read, too. Thank you so much. I got confused.
She also had a role as a captain in DS9 (Capt Benteen I believe)
I don't understand why they blew up the old vessel for
DarMok, as in mock chicken?
They should have saved that ship for Quark.
Counselor Troy set a booby trap
I was always annoyed that you never saw the port thuster firing from the outside view
how come they could fire impulse engines now but not earlier?
I always had a problem with that to. I guess power level dropped so much, that the field that was holding them weakened.
Because with all the rest of the ship systems running, the assimilators kept them from moving. When they turned everything off, one last burst from the impulse engines allowed them to move without provoking the assimilators.
I wouldn't of destroyed the old ship. I would leave a warning buoy and Starfleet scientists could find a way of freeing it.
I found this annoying too. They know about the trap, and are capable of using weapons to destroy the "assimilators". Why not try to disable the trap and study these ancient historical artifacts? Or at least remove the ship from the field and study it then?
The Cruiser, and Assimilators were Fully Scanned, and the information was transmitted to Starfleet Central Command in San Francisco, and they were fully simulated in the Starfleet Grand Scale Holodeck and analised by all relevant departments.
Did Geordi... look down?
