Barclay?! 

tjwparso is officially my favorite Star Trek Nerd. I'd love to meet this person someday. Thanks for the great clips, I've revisited som many great episodes thanks to your inspirational and informative clips. Live long and prosper, Earthling.

@@billyfletcher6022 Glad you like the channel... Peace and long life pal 🖖

Barclay and the Nth degree. Definitely showing that integrating with machines need not be a nightmare.

Troi: A good one. Riker: *less angry, more confused*

I dearly loved the follow-up where Riker subtly asks Troi if the pass "was successful or not," and she just gives him a mischievous smile in response. Excellent!

@@acolytetojippity Troi: Broccoli made a pass Riker: *angery* Troi: it was a good one Riker: *calm*

@@zagnorch1336 hahahaha yes! And then at the end of the episode she hold Barclay to the walk! She didn't give him a choice.

Should've put a ring on it 💍

He runs a bit like Steven Seagal

if only there was a faster way to get from one part of the ship to another. a way to quickly transport, perhaps. eh, crazy talk

@@mofftarkin78 he still has a phobia of transporters, being smart doesnt stop a phobia.

@@artycharr Also... i think, beaming from one place to another within the ship was considered as too dangerous.

@@mofftarkin78 Site to site transports are not particularly safe at the best of times for one person. You wanna do it for a crew of 600? Do you want Tuvixes? Because That's How You Get Tuvixes.

Bar'clay...mah man. 😏

Because Troi is the ship hoe.

A successful pass then

I appreciate the public service you just performed for anyone who's still a virgin (both socially and physically) by virtue of watching Star Trek all their life.

@Leo Peridot Well, that's not how it ended here.

@Leo Peridot A mob is a lot more than 7 people.

Geordi: "I'd hardly consider that a threat" Are you kidding? These days that's paramount to assault.

Howling Mad Murdoch's got game!

Im sensing Im falling in love with him

@@Phatnaru0002 And even before today wokeness, Riker probably considered it a threat.

@@Phatnaru0002 *sigh*, no it doesn't.

Easy if you possess super intelligence!!

Super Barclay would make Scotty feel old and inadequate!

@@nicholasmaude6906 Normal Barclay would be familiar with Scotty's work and have been starstruck at meeting him (like he was with Cochrain). Relics would have been so much better with him in it.

And Schultz added just a tiny touch of frustration in his voice.

Gods, can you imagine what Scotty could have done with a holodeck?

Maybe they were trying to treat Dwight Schultz's baldness? Um, they use lasers for that, right? Now I'm imagining Patrick Stewart, Robert Picardo, and Ethan Phillips waiting in line to get their treatments when all of a sudden in walks... William Shatner? Oh, my!

Better than shooting phasers at him

@@LordTalax They only fire phasers at Will.

It shows. Perhaps they should have actually used CGI.

@@klaxoncow why

Here, lemme fix that last line: The entire Enterprise crew: Confused Pikachu face Ah, much better! You're welcome, by the way.

Geordi and Riker's reaction was priceless.

@@glennheth3472 Yes. Riker was more like "He did.. WHAT?! Alright, THAT is a threat!" :D

Picard: Has Barclay done something threatening. Troi: Well, he did make a pass at me. A good one. Picard: Stop wastin' my time counselor.

"Here's how you build one, and BA will help you."

I wonder what BA would think about space travel, though. Would he get in a space ship?! xD

@@Charles_Bro-son Just tell him that it's a ship, not a plane. Also, don't let him go near a window.

I pity the fool who don't know how to build a brain interface!

@theprogram863 Set phasers to stun... given the beast Mr. T was in the 80s, one hit might not suffice xD

It looks like something out of an 80s night-club😀.

@@nicholasmaude6906 'Ey, Barclay! Who's a guy gotta blow to get some bottle service over heah?!

And this device is now being developed by Neuralink well over 30 years later.

@@diophantine1598 not being developed by neuralink, already been in use for about a decade now

@@lGODofLAGl Not to the point to run a portion of your consciousness in a computer yet. This is Neuralink’s goal though. To increase intelligence through BCI such that humans will be capable of competing with AI.

I want to see Markiplier in a Star Trek show guest appearing as an engineer.

@@heatherfeather7199 Eh, it'll probably happen eventually. Probably after the Iron Lung film, whenever that comes out.

yeah I also like how they kept the character even into voyager, he was the one trying to help them get home and became obsessed.

HEY! It's a space laser.

Barclay loved it when a plan came together.

@@kavoshkhoshbin1432 It was invented by the noted Cambridge physicist Dr. Parsons. Therefore, the space laser was called "the Alan Parsons Project."

@@dashcroft1892 Cut the jibber-jabber!

That's awesome, funny guy

It's not so much the ultimate sacrifice as it is the nerdiest sacrifice.

You know the fortnite sysops won't let you play online anymore if you do THAT?

funniest part is he had 10 mins to tell he computer how to do it.

@@cranbers Probably not a complicated device. Well, Complicated but not *complicated*. It's most likely 96% similar to a standard interface, but uses that laser based interchange to read your neuron's rather than use a keyboard or terminal. What's REALLY fun to note is that's actually how the Universe Class Starship the federation was supposed to be controlled, except it's like that in every area of the ship.

Yes but it’s far more interesting if we never know how he does it and it becomes a noodle incident.

Got his practice from The A-Team

Barclay was by far the best-acted character on the show! Patrick Stewart may have been more fine artsy but Barclay was a tougher and realer character to portray, without any easy accolades.

Crusher is also a romantic with a good sense of humor so it perfectly fits. Deanna always gets a kick out of trolling Will. You gotta love those moments where you're reminded these people are really good friends.

What's extra amusing is how Riker looks back into the ready room seeking the captain's support, but Picard is already nose-deep into reports and no longer has time for Riker.

Or The Riddler from Batman Forever.

@@aggressiveattitudeera887 that's exactly what I meant sorry for that

@@aggressiveattitudeera887 passive aggressive attitude era.

@@patrickbowers8359 NP.✌

Like the Riddler in 'BATMAN FOREVER' - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.

yup with pretty much the same sad ending

It's called Flowers for Charlie and it's clearly an episode of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, duh.

I liked the old Mr. Broccoli better. At least HE was human. Now he's just a show-off. Plz change him back to his old insecure self!

And BA will help you.

Even as a kid, I felt Barclay's "upgrade" was like the opposite of Lt. Uhura's memory wipe by the _Nomad_ probe (sadly, Miss Nichols suffers from dementia in real life). Both got 'retrained' by alien technology, only to re-educate or in his case re-adapt by their own brainpower. Reg's own genius assisted _Voyager_ , but I think Troi helped his confidence not to think he's "senile" after this episode.

i just saw the Sarek clip earlier too

You could read Flowers for Algernon

I was thinking the same thing. They so rarely ran anywhere.

She probably wants some of the B(arclay)DE

Mine too. Superb acting on the part of Dwight Schultz. To go from clumsy and inept socially to casually charming- the way he acknowledged the response to his "acting" role inside the episode with a confident nod as he left the room- was truly expert.

LMFAO

Probably only worked due to how enhanced his brain was.

@@JnEricsonx true he said he can’t remember how he did it

I know! That's a SERIOUS security, safety and life BREACH on that Enterprise. - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.

Even if they erase the info from Barclays brain when you take the computer would have it stored

Could Helium 3 be used as a coolant outside of the reaction chamber though?

@@3Rayfire, probably. But it would not do any better a job of cooling a reactor, fusion or fission, than He4. He3 is considered to be the best fuel for a fusion reactor, because it is so ready to absorb an additional neutron, become He4 and release energy in the process. So my guess is the writers heard about He3, and decided it would sound all futuristic and techy to those who don't know any better. Yes, I loved STNG, but I did catch things like this all the time.

Fair but maybe its fission? (Idk much about the subject but it couldve been a misspoken word or typo in the script, as fusion is a more common word despite fission existing.)

@@MrJustyoutubing , no, it's the writers. They pick out something that sounds all techy, which they don't really understand, counting on the audience to know even less. Case in point. Geordi is trapped on a planet with an injured Romulan. Because of magnetic storms all over the planet, the sensors on the Enterprise can't find him to beam him up. Wesley Crusher comes up with the brilliant idea of sending down a probe to the surface that is emitting a "tachyon" beam, which Geordi's visor should be able to pick up. Geordi walks to the probe and can then be picked up. Brilliant, except that tachyons don't exist. They were a hypothetical particle that a scientist imagined, to explore what the world would look like on the other side of the speed of light. In our world, nothing can travel faster than light, but there is nothing stopping a particle already travelling faster than light from existing. OK, cleaver. But we can't detect any such thing even if such a world does exist. The writes thru it in this episode because it sounds cool.

@@donaldbadowski290 i get you, just putting out a possibility. Its equally likely youre right, if not more. Just thought theyd have at least base knowledge, like the difference between fusing and fission. Or maybe they did know and chose fusion because it requires tech we cant achieve in our time. I like the idea of using theoreticals and conjecture though, cause it does make you think at least for a second ig. Even if theyre talkin out their ass

Well they already had Whoopi. In fact she got him on the show.

@@potsdam28 Credit Levar Burton then, since he helped get Whoopi on the show.

@@joelellis7035 He may have arranged a meeting, but Whoopi wanted to get on. Apparently, Uhura was the first black character on a show set in the future and Whoopi wanted to be a part of the show that did that.

Faceman would proud!!

He actually didn't run, but jog. I think he was smart enough to be able to predict quite accurately how much time he would need and that it was not necessary for him to lose his style. 😁

@@Dowlphin He probably knew the limits of his endurance and went as fast as he could without exhausting himself, that's still better than the security team that just walks to their destination in the middle of their ship being boarded.

He also would have been thrown out in space, cancelled on their social media platform, he would have been called a predator, etc. - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.

Sounds like Barclay has been getting some tutoring lessons from a Holodeck program named “Faceman”.

It was just the taskmanager priority overloaded, a few seconds more and the consoles had popped up "Barclay 2.0 not responding, do you want to wait or kill process" I'd hope the computer allows console access based on your admin privileges without the need to retype passwords all the time when saving the ship ;-)

One of... I like many from seasons 6 & 7 more myself

And do you remember how Mr. Spock suggested to the captain that they would have to probably 'TAKE GARY MITCHELL OUT' because eventually he would look upon those humans as ants and therefore would see no need for them. - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.

He even says later in the episode, "I'm sorry Captain, I'm afraid I can't do that..."

Go Beverly!😎
