I worked at Paramount for 25 years. I was a Technologies Manager, and had a lot of interaction with all the Productions. My first office on the lost was situated right between stages 4 and 17, the two Stages where Deep Space 9 was shot. Terry Farrell was sitting on my doorway for a while every day. She was a doll, so much fun to be around. I Loved the ST productions, they were so much fun. But Jolene Blalock was OFF THE CHARTS sexy...I was present at many of these "pauses"...there was a lot you never got to see!
Jeri Ryan / Jolene Blalock / Chase Masterson / Terry Farrell and the Dabo Girls at Quark's bar .....the hottest women in Star Trek history .....honorable mention , Linda Park / Hoshi and a number of beauties from StarTrek TOS ................
What, precisely, does a Technologies Manager for a television production do? And how, precisely, does one become a Technologies Manager for a television production?
Jolene Blalock was soon overrated, with her fake bewbs. In Enterprise, Hoshi, Linda Park was sexier in my opinion, but overall, Terry Farrel was best of all.
The TNG "Timescape" episode where Picard starts laughing, and then we see that he made a smiley face in the small puff of smoke coming out of the beginning of the warp core breach.
Denise Crosby waving goodbye to the fans. I always loved that scene. And the fact that she either gor through with it, nobody cared or they thought it was a nice "goodbye gift" and didn't cut it.
I took my son to a Star Trek convention at the Sacramento convention center many years ago which Micheal Dorn attended. I believe It was shortly after TNG stopped production. There was a delay in the arrival of Michael Dorn, but finally this guy built like a professional football player walks out on stage. I didn’t recognize him at first because he didn’t have his Worf gear on but instead a private pilot’s coveralls. He explained that he had just flown his Spanish Casa C-101 jet trainer up from LA and was delayed. He was into being a private pilot. I remember him being very nice, funny and professional. His speaking voice was normal, but he went in and out of his Worf voice at will. My son got his autograph after the show which he gladly provided.
One of mine is the TNG episode where the crew had their memories erased. The scene where they checked the computer for their identities has some biographies and birth dates. I was shocked to see that Picard was 40 years older than most of the bridge crew and 20 years older than Beverly Crusher!
It’s odd, because Picard is never portrayed as being all that old. He seems more like a 40-something man with early graying than a 60 year old. Then again, maybe people grow a lot older in Star Trek, I don’t remember anything being said about that.
@@henrikaugustsson4041 The human life expectancy is vastly increased by the 24th century. It was increased to an average life expectancy of 120 years old, with some living up to almost 140 years. Dr. Leonard McCoy is noted to have been still living at the age of 138 in the TNG episode Encounter at Farpoint.
To me, the destroyed Constitution class ship also spoke of how desperate The Federation were to stop The Borg. They sent ships that had, for the most part, been mothballed for years just to try and make up the numbers and have something in the way of just one Cube.
This used to be my great guilty pleasure . Especially with the original series. I would get so excited every Saturday . My school mates would love it too .We would all talk about instead of talking about the latest music , we'd talk about Star Trek and what fun it was .
I flew to Germany with data, Deanna Troi and Geordi La Forge. My cousin was a contestant on the programme “beat the star” which was filmed in Germany and purely by chance they were all on the same flight going to a comicon type event in Germany. They were all very lovely I spoke with Marina Sirtis for ages, she was telling me how she was born and raised in Tottenham and they were all just lovely people. Data was a bit offended as I didn’t recognise him at first and he said he owned a vineyard which apparently is what he tells people who kind of recognise him but not sure where from. After the penny dropped he was really lovely too. I must say it was one of the best flights I ha e ever taken.
@@pferreira1983 your right, some people don’t like insanely beautiful women with perfect bodies in very tight clothing, they like looking at men instead. 😬
I'm sure that the 'corridor with mirrors' room was meant to just be a regular exercise room, but you're right that it was very obviously just a section of corridor in which the set crew stuck big mirrors on either end.
I actually really enjoyed the scene with Crusher and Troi, but not for the silly costumes or the aerobics. It was simply a nice moment between two female friends talking about a guy. Something that really isn't reflected often in media in a good well done manner. Its a nice bit of banter between female friends without making it vindictive, oversexualized, sarcastic, or snarky. I found their outfits silly and fun but far from sexualized and the aerobics were really not anything close to fan-service.
The aerobics scene cracked the entire family up; we were binge watching TNG DVD’s while we were on vacation on the coast and when this scene popped up, we couldn’t stop laughing. Thanks for the compilation.
There was a very well executed scene in Star trek Enterprise where T'pal is shown as one of her ancestors topless behind a white sheet gently blowing in the wind with an extreme close up of her in a well thought out and carefully shot silhouette of possibly Joline Blalock's actual body for a few seconds... pause worthy.🤓
The lore about that ship is even _more_ awesome. It's the _Falchion_ named after an ancient close-range weapon but with every letter of "falcon" in it. A "phaser repeater" whose job is to close to knife range just like the Defiant, relying on small size to survive and concentrate fire on weak spots too hard to target from afar. Since a small ship doesn't have a lot of reactor power, it receives its power from the phaser of another ship, ideally from one like the big ______ing phaser seen on the Galaxy Refit as seen in _All good things_ (the ship with three warp nacelles), from a distance where the beam isn't focused enough to inflict full damage. The Falchion's top array receives the energy from that shot and feeds it into its own phasers. Another ship is said to serve as both the carrier for the _Falchion_ and provider of phaser fire -- and to drive the point home completely, that carrier is called the _Falconer._ "You fight us in that thing?!? You're braver than we thought." -- Borg, Wolf 357 TL;DR: There's a Federation vessel whose job is to get shot by its own side.
Troi's semi-transparent nightgown in "Man of the People." Come on! I watched through TNG a while back and paused on that scene so long it's burned into my TV. I mean, Jesus Christ what a shot!
-Every 7 of 9 scene -Body paint fully naked dancing girl in TNG “New Ground” -All T’Pol neuropressure scenes -The car and duckie on the Enterprise D cross section in engineering -The little people in the Enterprise D observation lounge in the opening title cards. -Picard going ape-shit smashing the ship models in First Contact. -Tasha’s sister (dayum) -Data’s password in TNG Brothers and all the cool stuff in Noonian Soongs house/lab Thats just off the top of my head.
9:30 Kirk would have shagged the borg. Decker would have willfully assimilated with the borg (if she were cute enough...and bald) Spock would have tried logic with the borg. Scotty would have tried to get the borg drunk. T'Pol would have gone decon with a borg and scrubbed it down good
The DS9 "Explorers" episode where Jake and Benjamin set up the hammocks, and do the M.C. Hammer reference wordplay "It's hammock time!" "Yo!" I had to rewind, as I was in disbelief that they actually did that. lol
Oh my god the best advert interruption ever. You said Dax Looks a bit..... then the ad for Pringles starts and what are the first words? On screen? Sizzling Hot. Yup that perfectly describes what Dax looks like
I really did replay that DS9 scene with the massive fleet over and over again, on my VHS home copy I'd recorded from BBC 2. The ships, the excellent scene composition, the music, 16 year old me was absolutely pumped.
I did more than that. I mapped, identify and counted the ships on screen. Fourteen years later I still have that piece of paper. I was spoiled on the whole DW and this scene in particular but still got me off guard. Impressive.
That Carol Marcus scene was just a male dominated visual within a movie but wow she is absolutely gorgeous in it and still continues to be a beautiful woman.
*Seven of Nine's* first appearance in her *catsuit* in her cargo bay room, once her major implants are removed and her hair regenerated. [The Gift] In Australia the TV network was a year or so behind in screening episodes, so the video shops would get them in and there was always a battle to get one of the tapes first (the new eps were overnight only). So my friend and I manage to get a copy about 4 days later, as everybody's been waiting for the big Borg arc and the hype ect. And then at the end of the tape Seven steps forward out of the shadows and there's a gratuitous shot of her from behind highlighting her butt in her skintight outfit with exaggerated heels… *and the tape goes crazy.* Lines appear and it sounds like the tape is being chewed, thankfully it continues playing but(t) the scene is almost illegible. So just for laughs (and cause we couldn't make out anything till the end credits) we leave the tape about 20 seconds earlier when we take it back to the shop, instead of rewinding, to show them the damage. They physically examined the tape (it had lines through it that completely through off the tracking), and then watched it on their professional machine, and worked out that it had been paused repeatedly for long periods, and even frame by framed back and forth, damaging the tape (and they explained that Voyager episodes were recorded on cheap quality tapes as they only had a short window of heavy demand). They gave us a fresh copy that had just been returned, and made me promise not to pause it. _It was a primitive time… before internet porn._
Back in the 80's when everything was on VHS , Video stores around the country had to keep re-ordering new copies of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" because the tapes would all get damaged at the Phoebe Cates pool scene due to constant pausing.
@@Trashloot Mirror Kira is so badass! A weaker character than Nerys, sure, but she's more my type of character. With that said, there was something about Hoshi...idk...everyone raves about T'Pol(probably reasonably so), but to me? Uh-huh, nah. I always preferred Hoshi.
Exactly. T-Pol was mainly a reskinned 7of9 for guys who didn't like blondes, the resident silicone-based lifeform if you wanna put it that way. At least there was some ironic commentary on 7of9, e.g. in the scene where the Doctor tries to paint her. Keep in mind that the Doctor created her human appearance in the first place!
Missing from this list: Picard's Facepalm Moments. The most popular, iconic and often paused just to make meme gifs (not to mention an ACTUAL BUST) out of it, and it's not even in it!
I rewatched an episode of TNG a few weeks ago and was surprised to see that it featured the infamous Picard facepalm meme. That episode was 'The Drumhead'. One of the very best episodes of Star Trek across all series.
My most paused episode was from the first season of TNG. It was the episode where Wesley Crusher got in trouble on a planet of blonde haired/blue eyed health nuts who basically wore togas. I cannot remember the name of the episode, but you know the one I'm talking about.
I think its mentioned in the writers get together on the TNG Blu rays that the infamous aerobics scene was written because Gates McFadden and Marina Sirtis weren't getting along for some reason at that point and the writers thought they would put them together in an embarrassing moment like that to show them they didn't like the pair of them arguing and it would be a fun way of getting the two of them to sort out their differences.
They weren't in a corridor - they were in the gym. They've used that set multiple times - it is where Worf taught his classes... How did the scene with Troi with the see through dress not make this list?
I think it’s the engineering set, with various things removed/covered up and the two “mirrors” to hide the warp core and the T junction that leads out of engineering.
The Great Bird of the Galaxy. I had dinner with him in the late 80's in Tampa Florida. One of my all time best stories of my Nerdy life. One that I still tell to this day.
Not only was there a ridiculous number of decks in that ST 5 scene, but they were numbered backwards. It is well understood that deck 1 is at the TOP of the ship.
Didn't like that, a joke gone too far, alluding to # of TOS episodes and at 78, they didn't get that right. Later on in TNG a bunch of Douglass Adams references, including 42.
THANK YOU for grouping all the Enterprise scenes together! I would have not enjoyed this list if it was just Jolene Blalock over and over. After all, I'm a Linda Park fan 😁 P. S. SPEAKING OF THAT, surprised the time Hoshi fell out of a vent and lost her shirt didn't make the list 😅
I get why some folks favoured T'Pol in Enterprise but for me it was Hoshi all the way. Although, I'd still go for Ezri Dax over Hoshi, or indeed anyone else in Trek history. Cute always wins in my book.
Here we go again.... the Enterprise in Star Trek V has 79 Decks. you can see it, because they pass Deck 78 and Spock said "Missed by one Deck" That was build in by Nimoy and its a reference to the 79 ! Episodes of TOS
How about when Data literally lost his head? Back then, I tried to figure out how the hell the VX department pulled it off, having in one moment the actor moving, the very next his head popping up from his body, champagne-like fashion... Awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Cheers!
Considering all the stuff he didn't cover involving Troi and Seven of Nine, I doubt these were the 10 most paused scenes. Maybe if you discount the 13-18 year old male demographic...
Not 12 year old me pausing every decontanimation scene trying to catch a glimpse of Trip's Tucker... Also, lol, loved every scene that had Beverly and Deanna being friends outside of "work". I wish there'd been more scenes of them hanging out, and more scenes of Kira and Dax just chilling too. YAY FRIENDSHIP.
In “Mirror, Mirror” the scene where the door opens and Marlena is standing in the doorway, raising her arms to show she is wearing a semi-transparent outfit that reveals she’s not wearing much underneath! “Oiling my traps for you, darling”
It was on today and I missed it. Marlena was pretty hot - TOS did not lack for hot crew members - but not as sexy as Mirror Hoshi. It's difficult to believe Kirk's ridiculous libido being what it was that he didn't make a move on her when he got back ... just a bit of fun because he was married to the Enterprise is what he would have said.
Can confirm, she's called 6of9 in the parody ;) But seriously, 7of9 was an unavoidable replacement for Kes Ocampa. The specialty of the Ocampa is that they grow up fast and don't live long (2 and 9 years respectively). Which would have been a dead end for some character arcs, e.g. Kes couldn't have a romantic relationship with anybody because she was technically 2 years old. In a nation with one in 400 inhabitants being a teacher, one in 300 being a doctor, and one in two being a lawyer, that wouldn't fly for a single episode. So it was a forgone conclusion that she would be killed or discontinued eventually. We got 7of9, a character that was just as flat as her body wasn't.
Thanks SO much for making trio/crusher exercising # 1!... But u know it was just... they were exercising... don't u?!... perfectly innocent! Heh heh heh!
It's probably already been mentioned here and I'm sure the guys at TrekCulture are aware of it and omitted it because it's so similar; but another example of #5's Star Wars crossover is a moment in the JJ Abrams' 2009 Star Trek movie when the Enterprise comes out of warp into a debris field full of wreckage of other ships. At one point R2D2 is clearly visible flying across the screen. And he shows up again in Star Trek Into Darkness in a similar easter egg.
And no Dax with Lenara Kahn, no Dax at bachelorette party, no Dax at Bajoran festival, no Dax in the mirror universe, no Dax in... ya know what, that entry should've just been "Sooo many Dax scenes!" ...No Honey Bare Dax from the Secret Agent Bashir episode! I mean come on!!!
I would argue there are some pause worthy moments when JaVal offers Picard Jama... Jamaharaganon??? what you know what I mean. "You display the Horag'han (???) but do not seek Jamaharager " fuck it ... still Rikers greatest scene and he wasn't even in it.
@@EricDKaufman the same actress (Dierdre Immershein) was crewman Whatley on _DS9_ 's tribble episode. OMG, that blue miniskirt and those flirty eyes she gave in the turbolift! Wore out my VCR.
Linda Park never got the credit for how beautiful she is. People remember T’pol but Hoshi was very sexy. She also grew as a character too. She was afraid of nearly everything in the beginning, and went on to become a great officer.
It's the same with Crusher and Troi. In that crazy aerobics scene he just showed, it's clear that they want the doctor to look not as good as Troi. In both Enterprise and TNG they picked a woman and spent most of their time trying to show off her chest and making any other main female character look less attractive than they were. I mean come on, what is that horrible green color on Crusher and against red hair, too! Lol
I think whole ENT series is very underrated. People hated it back in the day, but now it's pretty different situation when you compare it with modern crazy shows like Discovery. ENT was the last classic ST or even classic sci-fi show. ENT, SG1 and SGA literally ended this good era of sci-fi.
Hoshi wasn't flashy, but had her own sex appeal. T'Paul was more stereotypical traffic-stopping hot. See also Security Chief Tasha Yar....stirred my short hair tomboy fantasies too many times. And unlike Data, I never had a chance. :(
U.S. Navy numbers go in both direction depending on if you are above or below the main deck. I'm not sure that could be represented in any way on Starships in Star Trek.
@@jimmym3352 I think that all star trek ships have the bridge on deck 1, that is at teh top of the ship, and that this numbering can be seen on various diagrams on the ships.
@@jolan_tru lol thanks, it happens all the time, I have a brilliant idea and then it turns out someone else had the same idea before me... like GPS, I invented that just a few months back
I’d resurrect the “get drunk-Soring break-Enterprise virus” for each and every reboot. Make it an official Starfleet training exercise like the Kobiashi Maru simulation.
I'd add the scene from Voyager's episode "Imperfection" in season 7 where Seven of Nine brings up a list of crew members who have died under Janeway's command and half of them are characters from The West Wing
I remember when the Troi and Crusher episode first aired. I died laughing thinking "Oh c'mon. You're not even trying to be subtle here." It's like someone was watching old 80s exercise/aerobics shows that were hot for that period and said "hey let's add this in for no apparent reason."
I was too confused as to why they were doing this elaborately choreographed routine to be aroused. And I think people read way too much into the scene, coz at the end of the day it was only Troi and Crusher. If it was Troi and Riker (or even Worf) then any sexual subtext would make sense.
@@3boodae749 Or Riker and Worf, for that matter. 😂😂😂 The clothing kills it for me, anyway. I mean seriously - a) Spandex and b) THOSE COLOURS!!! 😂😂😂 There's nothing remotely sexy about it.
Enterprise started off quite slowly. When I started watching it, I felt a little bored and that intro screen which was never updated through the series was yawn inducing. Starting Season2, it got real good real fast.
I obviously will have to go back and start Enterprise again. I only really watched season one and then kind of moved on. Sounds like the show gets much better after that point.
@@marcusaurelius7604 it’s so good I haven’t been able to find another one I like. I tried the original but it’s too old lol. I might try ds9 next but I’m on stargate rn lol.
Don't worry Fernando - our brains can handle both. Now - I'd LOVE to see a similar overview of Babylon 5 (imho, still and always will be the very, very best series ever). Fun fact - Majel Barrett-Rodenberry was also a huge fan - she even asked JMS if she could appear in it - insofar as I'm aware, he asked if she just wanted to appear in it OR be in only one episode (Point of No Return) where she plays an apparently minor role, which transpires to be one of most important story arcs. GREAT MAKER!
Glad to see you went REAL Star Trek Nerd on this one, focusing mostly on ships and that incredibly obscure Roddenberry cameo. Two comments - 1) There *is* a scene where the Millenium Falcon is *clearly* visible, not a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it! It may be the referenced “assemble the fleet scene” here, or it might be in the TNG episode where the fleet was gathering at Wolf-359. It just jumped out at me, and I rolled on the floor laughing 😄! However… 2) The *true* most-paused scenes are the ones involving women 😎! My favorites are in TOS ep “Mirror, Mirror” when Captain Kirk meets Marlena, the alternate-universe “captain’s woman” 😎❤️ … … and the Enterprise ep “Vanishing Point” when Ensign Sato is taking a shower 🥰! LOVE Hoshi! ❤️
