@@markfox1545Ah, another member of the vernacular police checks in. This country speaks "Americanized English", and if you don't like it, well, we really don't care. They're just extremely petty.
What I love about this moment is how Data becomes "truely human." The idea of intuitive perception is a very illogical thing no computer has any concept of. Yet here it is, Data both sensing and trusting his unseen perception of what should and should not be done. Yet he retains the computer mind that can fly as no human ever could.
you see what happens when you build a death star trench into your star ship the enterprise fly's down it and blows you to hell🤣🤣 and all he needed was to absorb Lore into his Psychology to evolve in a human simple
@@raven4k998 i mean did you see that route though? It's not like it was an exhaust port to the core; data tokyo drifted the enterprise through a fucking labyrinth.
Nice to see Data and Geordie nod at each other again as they did for seven seasons of Star Trek NG. The actors had a running joke about how many nods they could fit into a scene!
when Data took control and maneuvered the Enterprise into the cube (masterfully i might add) and Troi said ''why am i sensing enjoyment'' if everyone of you weren't smiles ear to ear then your not human and need to bow out of this video with your pride tucked firmly between your legs. it was a GLORIOUS moment!
I never realized how much I actually missed the Enterprise-D until now. Don't misunderstand, I love the Enterpeise-E, but her predecessor went before her time as Riker said.
And how. If Excelsior class ships could be refitted and kept up to specs for 100 years, a Galaxy Class ship could probably be kept up similarly for at least as long as that if not longer. Throw in the saucer separation thing and one could swap out the stardrive section with upgraded or mission-specific hulls, and likewise just keep the stardrive sections as stand-alone defensive ships long into the future. Imagine building a custom version of the saucer as a colony ship (one that lands nicely, not as an emergency crash landing!). The stardrive section could take it from the heart of the Federation, full of colonists, out to a new colony world and "drop it off." The colonists could live in it while they set up their new homes, eventually disassembling it for resources once they no longer needed it as a shelter a generation or two down the road. Losing the D like we did was such a waste. Even with useless shields though, the Enterprise D should have been able to wreck an antique Bird of Prey with one long sustained phaser blast. I would have made the Duras Sisters' ship a big Vor'cha class ship, perhaps in less than perfect condition to show the Duras family as running out of resources. I could at least accept the untimely death of the D to such a monster of a ship. A Bird of Prey should have been no more than an annoying mosquito to a full-functional (and recently upgraded, note the movie version of the bridge which I really like BTW) Galaxy Class ship.
@@gedias1 believe they always were that nimble. Just that not only did anyone not know how to pilot a ship that big like that but everybody was to scared to try. Now that Data is… "evolved" with "gut" feelings and is as, Riker said... Batshit (crazy)… we have the right one for the job now.
1. There's no crew to worry about 2. Can divert power from all non-critical systems to engines 3. Data had finally fulfilled his potential 4. It's the Enterprise Nuff said
"Please everyone just trust me!" I wonder if they'd have been more ready to trust him when he was just the android we knew before, it sounds almost pleading
As my wife and I watched Data plead for everyone to trust him… I whispered .."you've always trusted him before… trust him now". I didn't expect my wife to hear me but she said loudly… "That's right!!" I glanced over at her… she was watching the tv with an angry look on her face. I love her so much! 🖖
While I was watching this clip again, I was saying, “Have you ever not trusted him before?”. Just because he’s a lot more human doesn’t mean his actions aren’t as trustworthy.
Geordi: I didn't have time to finish the targeting algorithms, you'll have to fire manually, Doctor. Beverly: [Stares in Pissed off Mama Bear] Targeting Computer: [nervous sweat] I'll be locking weapons now, Ma'am.
When your android best friend tells you "He's got this," the appropriate response is "Let's roll!" If the Enterprise had an AI she'd be grinning just like Data. Once more unto the breech.
Im going through school right now. Currently having hard times with Chemistry and Calculus. But whenever it is difficult, i come back to this scene. To other TNG scenes also, but this is one of the best at making me think that no matter how dark the time is, things will be ok. They will get better. That my hard work has meaning if it makes humanity just the smallest bit better and moving towards this future. Personally, i think that is the best part of Star Trek. That humanity has a brighter future, day by day.
I do imagine pre-emotion Data would be less able to do this. with this more complete Data, he has his existing precision, but the emotion necessary to properly guide that logic, as a human would. Data is essentially, Soong perfection. man, but more now.
@@2Plus2isChicken2013 yup, but what I'm implying goes beyond that. this isn't limited programming. this is evolution to proper human feeling and intuition.
Enterprise-D: "You have harmed my Captain. You have harmed his family. You have harmed and killed my crew. You threaten that which I love. *ASSIMILATE THIS!!"*
Where do you think they took this from? Troi sensed enjoyment, because our boy commenced attack on the Death Star's main reactor. Hell, Lando even said "Here goes nothing" when he took the Falcon in. Only thing missing was Data yelling "YEEEEEHAAAAHH!" when the Enterprise flew out of the cube.
So good. Give us shows like this and we'll be happy. Good story, great acting, just enough nostalgia, outstanding musical score and no pushing of some agenda onto the audience.
I like to think all the console inputs and the ship lurching were Data putting the thrusters in some sort of overload setting, and him seeing if it would be enough. It was.
The one thing they forgot was to show some of this from the perspective of the Enterprise view screen. There’s not one shot where we can see Data, Laforge, Troi, and Crusher’s perspective as they’re doing a run on the outside, a run on the inside, or a view screen shot of the beacon.
Geordi whispers something after he sits down after agreeing to let Data pilot the enterprise inside the Borg cube. It sounded like May the force be with you.
This piloting sequence is absolutely spectacular. Data 2.0 grinning ear to ear as his fingers dance across his console, Troi confused about why she's sensing enjoyment, and Crusher killing it at Tactical. Everyone having to lean with the turns was a great touch. Data should have mentioned it, but he turned down the inertial dampeners to increase the maneuverability of the ship. But what I don't really understand are 2 things:: Why does the Borg Cube have a passage large enough for a monstrous ship like the Enterprise-D to navigate? Circuitous or not, it makes little sense. And why does said passage seem to be lined with weapons nodes?
The cube is about 25 km in extent not counting the massive antennae. It’s the remnants of the collective, cubes etc stitched together. A massive base. Would make sense to allow cubed and spheres to enter it too.
@@docjanak I'm well aware of the external dimensions of a typical Borg Cube. It still doesn't make sense to have so much internal volume devoted to a 400+ m wide corridor wind through the ship and line all that extra surface area with weapon nodes. The Borg are not typically that wasteful. They value efficiency.
@@imofage3947 this is a base. Not a ship per se. Borg vessels would be expected to enter it, indeed it is built of scavenged borg vessels and parts, so one could expect weapons emplacements inside its structure that would have typically been outside at some point. One could also expect weapons emplacements inside given it has access ports for ships to enter.
@@docjanak I'm pretty sure that the Borg make a very clear distinction between their ships and space stations. If it were a base, I'd expect Picard to correctly refer to it as a "Unicomplex". It was specifically called "Cube", which is a ship.
@@docjanak Also, your base idea doesn't hold water. A Borg Sphere is 600m diameter. The Enterprise-D is 640m long, 470m wide at the saucer, and 145m tall. If the corridor were designed for a Sphere, Geordi's concern would be comically unwarranted. The next largest Borg Vessel we know about is the Probe. You know, the burrito-shaped scout ship that Voyager destroyed just before they stole the Transwarp Coil from the damaged Sphere. The Probe is easily under 180m long and significantly smaller in all other dimensions. And on top of all of this, your base idea would require Borg ships entering and leaving the Sol System undetected. How do you propose that's happening with sensor relays everywhere? Starfleet Command INSTANTLY detected the transwarp corridor in Voyager "Endgame pt2" when they made it home and had 18 ships in position before it fully opened.
When you hear throwaway lines about "inertial dampeners" those are supposed to be the devices that prevent high Gs and sudden course corrections from injuring the crew. There's an episode where they turn off the dampeners to make enemy phaser fire look worse than it is as it tosses the ship around even more after they shut it off
I just finally realized "the here goes nothing" is what lando says in return of the jedi as he pilots through to the heart of the new death star. An easter egg for RoTJ in picard season 3.
My first thought when the ep. came out was that they'd do a saucer sep, self destruct the Syracuse's stardrive, and the saucer survives and takes its place at the fleet museum.
The Battle Bridge Set (aka Movie Enterprise Bridge Set) was scrapped. The TNG set is as well reconstructed. They did not want to build two new sets apparently.
It kind of sums up the _Star Trek_ versus _Star Wars_ comparison: Borg cube versus Death Star sphere. Two different ways of representing a menace to "the good guys", both enjoyable universes in their own way.
Like James Tiberius Kirk and crew (Star Trek 3 : The Search of Spock - 1984), Picard and his best friends have clandestinely seized the ship, in order to best manage the crisis they are facing.
