10 Star Trek Scenes Even More Impressive When You Know The Truth 

Seeing that only made me respect Garrett Wang even more. He genuinely cared for them and was hurt.

Wang is a very genuine guy.

I'm really glad that both actresses buried the hatchet, however late. But their onscreen performances were fantastic! You would never know there was a rift. And I didn't know that about Garrett! Such a tender and genuine guy.

Would love to see a video of that

@@papabear562 I've watched it on RU-vid. It is a panel discussion at a convention. It was interesting, but nothing that will rock your world. He just gets a little choked up and cries a bit.

I think it's more accurate to say they became best friends.

“Keep your shirt on, Lieutenant”

Go watch Shuttlepod Show 👍

If you ever get the chance to see them together at a con it’s amazing

Their podcast is great, and they get good guests from the Trek cast and crew

*they could have always used a holographic hairpiece projection array (H2PA) but i guess the special effects budget was just not there...such a pity that would have been kinda awesome especially during times when it went all glitchy during stressful moments on the Bridge or while meeting off world dignitaries*

@@scottmantooth8785 holographic hair piece! Like Nelix's lungs.

Some guys just look better bald.

I asked David Gerrold well after the episode if he'd heard of flat cats at the time of writing. I'd known of them myself from Heinlein's story. I was a little naive back then in not suspecting that he hadn't already been asked that questions thousands of times, no doubt. He politely replied that he had not known of them at the time of writing that script.

Not only did Ryan show off her acting chops with Kate Mulgrew, but her chemistry with Robert Picardo was just magical.

I was lukewarm at best about Voyager. Only watched a few episodes of the first three seasons. When I heard/saw that they were bringing on a sexy Borg character, I lost all interest. I'm happy to learn that there was more depth and character development. I'm probably not going back to watch the series.

@@HalfHeartedFanatic she is legitimately one of the best characters in the franchise which is constantly shocking given that there's no question she was brought on for ratings boosting TnA. This doesn't make voyager more than acceptable comfort food trek but she and the doctor are not why. Two of the best trek characters there are. Janeway is a bit more hit or miss but I do like her. The rest are fine.

What amazes me it was assumed just teenage boys watched Star Trek, discounting all the women and girls who watched it. Also not taking in consideration the buying power of those women and girls.

It was a poor set of reasoning for adding the character, but honestly I wouldn't want a Star Trek without Seven in it. The way her character developed has added so much in spite of the production reasons for bringing her in. A lot of that is down to (I think) many of the writers taking the character development seriously, and Ryan's acting in the role and how she played the slow change in her character's personality as her humanity took hold and she discovered her individuality, leaving more and more of the Borg identity behind her. Seven is a gem!

Garak was always one of my favorite characters on DS9.

if you can find them, some of the intentional flubs are HILARIOUS

@@ShalmendoGlineux Did not know. Thanks!

Shatner gets more hate than he deserves.

I noticed it and thought it was perfect.

There's a nerve trick that someone found out recently. It's supposed to help with it for a while. There's a few videos on it

I feel sorry for him suffering. I don’t feel sorry for him being insufferable. The way he treated my ex gf at a Trek con was just unacceptable, same as how he treated other Trek actors.

I have bad tinnitus from the Army. I was infantry in 1978, and a forward observer from 1980 to 1984 in active duty. So many explosions, so much time in armored personnel carriers and so much more. And before they knew much about hearing protection.

I miss hearing morning birds singing, my tinnitus rings in those frequency, and drounds them out. 😔

They didn't have much for OSHA standards in the 60's

Ah, that's horrible. :(

Wow! Had no idea!

And the actress that played his wife in that story died in 2022.

They were played by John Anderson and Anne Haney; each amazing in their role.

Yes it was uneasy to see them together. Never suspected there was anything behind that. I'm team 7/9 she was the better actrice imo and I was too young to be fooled by the cat suit. Btw years later I saw orange is the new black and 'Janeway' was exactly the same, not worse not better.

Today I learned...... Damn, and I grew up watching ToS :D

If it's missing, how could we see it? XP

@@tiladx did you watch the episode and segment mentioned? Not meaning to sound superior. I’ve been a Trek fan since the first episode aired.

@@mvkugler r/wooosh

That's one of the few instances where his hand with the missing finger is visible but, for all we know, that finger is just bent and dug-in to hang on to the tribbles.

Thank you for mentioning this. I didn't want to pick nits (that is what us Trekkies do best, though), but these little production errors on videos like this drive me insane so I'll piggyback on your nitpicking. I also noted that she says "Kea-TUN" instead of "Kea-TING" , and then proceeds to say both "Domi-NICK" and "Domi-NIQUE" interchanged during the Shuttlepod One rundown. It almost feels like Brie loaded her voice into a text-to-speech program and let it run. The pauses and intended punctuation are off at times. I know they edit out "dead air" and extended, natural punctuation pauses to keep the video within an intended amount of time (I call it the Charlie Brown editing technique, just listen to some of that CBXmas dialogue, you can tell it was cobbled together and hacked up to fit the character mouths) but this is just poorly proofed before being published. I get it, it's a free video for me to watch while I'm taking a break from some random task during my day, but they really need to screen these things before you hit the "post" button.

It's my favourite Channel too - everybody at TrekCulture deserve a chest of gold-pressed latinum!

@@JohnnyWednesday I'm sure Sean loves to know how much of a fan you are as well.

I mean yeah, but they'd all be from Picard speeches.

Kim in Voyager Timeless. Great stuff

Except, that’s not Data’s head, it’s Lore’s.

Honestly same here. I just thought it was cool to have a Borg on the ship. I think I first heard about the eye-candy thing in the early 2000's.

Trek always tried to have an "odd one out" character: those you've listed were just such. It's through them (as plot devices) that deeper aspects of humanity were explored (Data being human, Odo finding love, Spock reconciling turbulent Emotions, Kes learning, Seven recovering). Without them, the show couldn't develop as it did - there must be an "alien" for reference

Yeah, I was "of age" when Seven was introduced and yeah, Berman hired her for 'two BIG' reasons

I didn’t think a catsuit was necessary. She was beautiful on a Starfleet science uniform. Jeri Ryan’s performance was amazing and made her more than just eye candy. IMO

@@MrTomSpencer somewhere on the internet , there is a seven video i think you would maybe enjoy...wink wink

Witnessed I have declared myself a witness to the heroic sacrifice that the Tribble people have made. May they storm the gates of Stov-ah-Kor to continue the fight in their next life!

@@Gilhelmi When the Military Dictatorship of Tribbledom rises, we will remember you with favor. Your Achilles Tendons will always be protected.

My sister still has one of the tribbles Gene's fan service company "Lincoln Enterprises" sold during the TOS era. If you need to repopulate the species..... 🙂

@@jimsteele9261 Can't say I've ever had a better matchmaking offer to date! (^_^)

I agree completely!

I would put ST IV in first place, VI in 2nd, and Wrath of Khan in 3rd.

@@Stefonius certainly enjoy IV the most! I regularly quote Scotty in that one when my computer isn’t working. 😂 And I agree that VI: Undiscovered Country is better than 1st Contact. For me it’s probably IV followed by a tie between II and VI. :) But if you ask me tomorrow I might have a different answer!

I would watch that!

After seeing it on RU-vid, I wanted to play it for my branch heads.

Remember the "Gorn Cannon" segment on MythBusters? Tore Belleci said, "Any way you look at it this is a BAD idea! I mean, you'd be better off giving the cannon to the Gorn, and let him shoot you."

That's on the producers than and not the actress.

@@dreadcthulhu5 it wasn't just one but it was the prominent example, and it ways wasn't with 7

@@tty23 It's still on the ones making the decision and not the actors who just need a job.

@@dreadcthulhu5 my bad I read your comment wrong. But still you can see why she'd view 7 as a threat. If she crafted her role as being a nonsexual person who should be taken serious as a female captain, imagine the offense if they bring on a overly sexualized character to steal the spotlight?

@@tty23 My understanding is that a lot of the problem throughout the Star Trek franchise were brought on my Rick Berman and his... troubling treatment of women among other things. Originally it was just supposed to be a regular Borg character to explore the idea of one being a crewmember. It was Berman who decided to make it a sexy female in his words, "Make it a Borg babe." He also demanded that Kate Mulgrew pad her bra, which she protested and won out on. Then on DS9 there were a number of issues with how he treated Terry Farrell. He would also comment on her bra size and suggest padding. She wanted for her own reasons to have less time on the show and he basically gave here an ultimatum to do what he wanted or leave. Seems like if you ask any of the women and even some of the men about him they all have a story about what a controlling and often sketchy guy he is. Pretty much if you have an issue with how a character was written out of one of the shows you can trace it back to him.

He’s also _extremely_ talented at homing in on twink Starfleet doctors. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

His role as the villain in Dirty Harry was epic

@@TheFloridaStig "Now I know what you're thinking: 'Did he fire six shots? Or only five?' To tell the truth I lost count in all the excitement. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and it would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" He felt lucky. He wasn't.

EXT Starship: Red Shirt dies from forgetting to put on EV suit.

I saw it at Louisville Wonderfest ca. 2000. Pretty neat!

These behind-the-scenes tidbits are great. They didn't recreate the prop Data, but found him, after they'd sold him & asked to use it again? Apparently, something similar happened during production of TNG's episode Relics when James Doohan guest stared. The production was able to burrow the tactical / Sulu scope that rises out of the helm console from the Star Trek: Original Series Set Tour-- formerly known as fan production Star Trek: New Voyages, out of Ticonderoga, NY. I was told it was a fragile piece & some special handling was involved, to get it to California. Apparently Star Trek: Original Series Set Tour received a GNDN relay from the DS9 Trials and Tribble-ations episode, which they use in the tour, even though it's not to scale. Also during Relics, Ronald D. Moore stated during an interview or online chat they recreated the TOS bridge without consulting Supervising Producer Bob Justman. Justman, being a Producer on TOS was later shown the recreated bridge set & said something like, "it looks great, except you got the carpet color wrong." Moore was like "Of course, why didn't we ask you about this whole project in the first place!" Justman said the lights & filters used in the 1960s were different, even so he gave his personal endorsement to the recreated set!

Uh, did you watch the same show as the rest of us? lol

I actually did notice Seven/Jeri being really tense when alone with Janeway/Kate. At the time I attributed it to Seven feeling that Janeway violated Seven by having her de-borgified.

Every time the 'Outcast' is brought up I have to mention: While it was obviously without intent; everyone seems to miss the fact that it is a liberal, logical, scientific J'naii that imposes these draconian Laws. I mean; they certainly are not 'conservative'. Again; while this was not the intent by Roddenberry at the time; one can't help but feel if left unchecked, 'liberals' today would most certainly gravitate to this 'logical' conclusion of pure inclusion of mandatory genderless compliance that was created, CREATED by them.

What a pearl-clutching petaQ ol’ Piers is 😂

@@StudioDaVeed Mandatory genderless compliance would not be inclusive of those with preferred genders, so it doesn't take much thought to find the paradox in what you are suggesting there.

@@ryanbaillie11 Most groups professing inclusiveness have hated foe that are not welcome ;)

*you're not a member of the Screen Actors Guild are you?*

@@scottmantooth8785 lol good point.

I'd guess the condensation from the dry ice was an issue with the camera lenses. Sometimes on set you do a lot of things to make the tech ok, I was in a scene filmed in a hotel room in Florida in the summer and we had to shut off the a/c because the mics would pick up the hum.

Me too!

I attribute my asexuality for the reason I didn't pick up that she was meant to be eye candy when I watching it back then.

*some bits of 7 of 9 were more borgy than others while others designed to be far more distracting...just an observation*

yup, that never came to me as well and judging by the amount of similar comments I would say i am not in the minority

Not surprising that the article was written by serial reactionary snowflake Piers Morgan 😂

@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated yeah that doesnt shock me. However I should point out that the first kiss was Colin and Gudio. It was Colin and Barry in tonights episode.

Also canonically there's Captain Hernandez from Enterprise and Captain Philippa Georgiou from Discovery. But let's keep in mind that most fans know these things and the "first female Captain" bit always has a silent "as a main character on a Star Trek series" because people keep thinking it's ok to skip that part since they think it's implied. There have been many non-male Captains in Starfleet. We just haven't heard of them all. Absence of evidence doesn't equal evidence of absence.

Don't forget that Geordi's Mother was a starship Captain.

She was the first female captain in a lead role. No one has ever suggested she was the first in-universe female captain in Starfleet.

@@robertmurphy4836 I was going to say the same thing until I scrolled down and saw your post :)
