I Have Committed A Terrible Crime 

I think your clips are being blocked because you're uploading all or most of an episode in small chunks, which could be strung together to watch a whole one.

Keep it up bud

I watched it in time :-)

What the Hell, RU-vid?!

@Al M Ain't nothin' quite like torrenting... ...in Minecraft!

Yes, but none of those services have a comments section 😉 ... where we can discuss beans!

I don't support any services. You should be able to own your content, and if the service doesn't allow you, you should not support it. Not to mention the ideological depravity of most of these services.

@@DiggitySlice I mean those services aren't where you buy individual content for your own person. If you wish to own the content, you should buy it in physical form.

Came for the clips cause I don't want to pay for Paramount+ (only had it to watch Disco and Picard and well things have gone downhill... Rewatched all of TNG) and stayed for the beans.

the real reason he stabbed picard.....he called him a cryign baby in ten forward

Well, to be fair Picard has been rather heavily involved in Klingon politics, so maybe they rubbed off on him a little.

Well it wasnt his first time getting stabbed. He might have gotten used to it.

That was funny Salve

Plus he was stabbed by a Nausican and needed a new heart, he's probably used it.

Picard is used to getting stabbed close to the heart. 😂

Frakes: leaning in center chair on the bridge set "God, my aching back! I'd better get in a position that relieves some pressure... ahhh, that's better. Man, why did I ever agree to take that moving job?!"

Could be worse, look what happened when they let Dianna drive..... 😂

@@crazybrit-nasafan Hey, come on, don't be so mean. The road rage coming off the other drivers overwhelmed her empathic capabilities; what didja expect? On the upside: the experience traumatized her so deeply, she made a vow to never drive again. A small victory, but a welcome one.

@@zagnorch1336 pmsl. I saw a RU-vid vid with Marina Surtis talking about that episode, She got excited that she got to fly the Enterprise then got to the bit with the crash, She wasn't impressed. If you can find the vid it's well worth watching. And I have to add (before I get hate 😂) , I have nothing whatsoever against lady drivers, I passed my test 33 years ago, been involved in three accidents, none my fault and the other drivers were guys. 1. Guy coming around the corner on the wrong side of the road 2 Guy backs out of a parking space without looking 3 guy hit the central barriers and his car lifted and spun, I couldn't avoid him so I braked and swerved to take the hit nearest to me to protect my wife and child.

@@crazybrit-nasafan i dont mind LADY drivers as they tend to have chauffeurs.. however the rest of the female drivers

No. Klingons is 'attacking a superior and failing without honor' is the worst offense.

In essence they are more a kin to the cardassians. They have a very militaristic society and strict hierarchy of military command. You obey your superior no matter what. The klingons have this to a point but they allow you to challenge your superior officer and such to combat.

@@Whatatwist2009 Like what you might call honourable Romulans. Strong sense of duty, respect for law, tradition, and family, and a great deal of personal integrity.

For klingons, attacking a superior is the worst possible crime - if you fail. It is also a demonstration of your strength/prowess (and of your superior's weakness/incompetence) - if you succeed.

@@freddie-fucknmercury891 More a comparison with the Talarians. Klingons usually enjoy being Klingons. They do have a sense of duty to the Empire, but a lot of Klingons do what they do because they like it. Most Romulans tend to be big believers in social order and responsibility with a strong sense of duty to the Romulan Empire and Romulan people. It's not a universal comparison, though. Some Romulans from the military like Sela and those we meet from the Tal Shiar are usually too deceptive and untrustworthy to be considered "honourable".

That's why TNG was such a fantastic show.

He'd be a good parent.

It's at least the second time a dagger helped him grow.

It is not only good accountability BUT it's also seizing the moment for respect and truly understanding the person and his true motivations Only when you get to the bone of a person can you speak and reason to the soul

Wesley had nothing to do with it.

Picard gets stabbed Troi: "I sense... hostility"

​@@Ry-ss5dzI sense much fear in you

And how would you make an episode out of that?

@@Cohen.the.Worrier Sounds to me like the premise of a wacky sitcom just bursting at the seams with hilarious hijinks!

thats a good perspective on it

That's still worse than splitting time between relatives in Russia and the US, or your two countries of choice on opposite sides of the planet. Travel would likely take weeks and cost a small fortune with commercial craft. Not impossible, but nothing like split custody in the same state.

@@delcox8165 Not wrong. But I don't necessarily mean that he would be constantly going back and forth, just that visiting his biological family on Earth would not be out of the question. All Picard would've had to say is: "Here's your grandma's number. Give her a call on subspace sometime. You don't have to give up your adopted family to keep contact with your biological one."

Perhaps however then we would not an episode then also the situation was viewed a little differently as Worf's family were killed by Romulan's and then rescued by a human Starfleet officer who later adopted him! Starfleet did attempt to contact the Klingon's to locate Worf's family!

Not sure how old you are… but best friends were made after everyone was bleeding with broken knuckles in 70’s and 80’s.

If he wanted to kill Picard, he had a huge head and neck to aim for. Its pretty clear he did not want to kill him.

To be fair, Picard has always bean like that

@@Barbutt Bleeding and broken knuckles is one thing but trying to kill somebody by stabbing a knife into your chest is another matter altogether.

@@keithallver2450 Lol! Yeah… I’ll agree there I suppose. Still, friends can be made strangest ways.

Right? If I were the admiral in this situation, I'd be royally pissed.

@@VastIceGaming The thing is its not like she couldn't get up off her ass and just go visit him she knows where he is living sounds like an excuse to power trip.

She's a Starfleet admiral, odds are good in a couple years she'll be court martialed herself for orchestrating some horribly unethical conspiracy.

​@@toddjhis it still a conspiracy if everyone does it?

Picard violated no rules here so if the Admiral tried to court martial him for failing to kidnap someone against their will, I don't think that court martial would get very far. And in fact would probably in one for her instead, for trying to abuse her power in such a way.

I think it's because if Picard is the one out of the picture, then things are usually dire and Riker kind of HAS to be willing to be as ruthless and steadfast as possible.

His flaws affected his career. He switched from a very fast track to captain to a very slow track, remaining at Commander rank for 15 years. Maybe he needed the time to mature but realistically, in the Navy he'd be marked twice failed for selection and given the boot. Starfleet must be more patient. Starship captain is an extremely powerful position that can unilaterally decide the fate of planets, so a long apprenticeship as first officer isn't necessarily a bad thing.

@@MagicAl5F4781 He was offered captain rank at least once in the show and turned it down to stay on as first officer with Picard. Can't remember what episode though.

... Good Observation and Analysis.

I always wondered if there were some “good cop/bad cop” interactions going on.

Tolerance, restraint, magnanimity, empathy. Qualities so sorely lacking in the 21st century; where nihilism pervades and ... *might* makes right.

And on top of that, their adversary was an authoritarian hyper-patriarchal military state, which is exactly the sort of society the Federation has the least in common with, and yet the Federation is doing everything in its power to respect the right of that adversary to exist freely in their own territory without interference.

@@saveritas731 exactly

@@beingsshepherd tolerance’s definition has been changed in the last century. It’s a word for how much stress an individual can take before crumbling.

​@@crackshack2 Like most words it has several veins. I was meaning self-restraint over others' irritations.

She really couldn't have. He did nothing against the rules or regulations of Starfleet. Hell, kidnapping him when he clearly didn't want to come would have been the violation, so if she tries to punish him for not breaking the law, that'd backfire on her super quick.

Or the agony booth. 😂

@@jacksonheathen2092 or airlock. :)

Jonoh

Personal sacrifice for serving love. A positively puzzling concept since personal sacrifice can be a saintly act, motivated by love. The conclusion is the understanding that we either multiply love through practice or multiply fear through practice. Yet when we take on challenges too great, we might go against self-love and thus commit a disservice through imbalance.

Seems the writing/directing was too uncomfortable with showing a beautiful win-win potential exploited and instead wanted to force a point home - what if you don't have win-win but need to make a choice. That makes the story subtly preachy. With less ARRRRR it could have been peachy. Reminds me of that wisdom that writing works best if you also allow the story to tell itself. - Balance between control and chaos, reminding of the importance of love. A bit tragic since the story itself was about love as motivation.

Starfleet had been at war with the Telarians. Maybe Telarians forbid contact like that only higher up officials had access to communicate with the Federation.

It is part of the transporter operator skillset to 'read the room' and understand from context when it is time to do a transport in style.

I completely disagree with this assessment. Picard said it best himself. Having good intentions didn't make his course of action correct.

@@dhinton1 If you believe that a child should be given the chance at an informed decision then you can't possibly disagree with this assessment. You're implying that denying a child the right to choose based on the influence of the current guardian is a proper thing to do to a young human being. That's just brainwashing by any other name. I'm sure it's fun, but kids aren't ones toys to play with. You shouldn't just design them, and cut pieces off their genitalia for style and fashion. You're supposed to treat them like genuine human beings. That means having the opportunity to decide for themselves, and if they're in an environment where they're being conditioned toward a violent life style that strips them of a family they were taken from, you're well within your right to want to make sure the child is in a position where it's what they want to do. Even then, what if there was sexual or macabre deviancies in this culture? What is it about this behavior that is so acceptable that other forms of abuse would not be? Where do you put your foot down at the mistreatment of a young man so distraught at the idea of not being around his obviously codependent relationship with an abusive culture to the degree he'd stab the captain of a starship in his sleep?

The question is do you traumatize the boy in pursuit of that. Jono was in a loving supporting environment and a culture that was all he knew. Ripping him away from that so he could live with his biological family just so he could say OK I've seen the human side now send me back to the man who raised me, is excessive. He's completely adopted and not in an abusive environment, but an environment that is loving and supportive in which he is thriving. Picard respected that he didn't want the opportunity to live with his birth family, that he was happy where he was. Jono deserved to be given the opportunity to meet his human family, but he should in no way be forced to.

@@3Rayfire Sorry, my words were ambiguous, but I meant be reminded of his biological family's existence and his past life, rather than meet them.

@@Electricshrock Ahh. Well I think that threshold was met by the end of the episode. Though Picard speaking with Joni's grandmother should have been put in. I mean the boy was willing to die rather than go back to his human family. Not from indoctrination, but love and loyalty. I think that meant a lot in Picard's view.

fucking lmao

HEY NOW!!! To be fair, Patrick Stewart was very much onboard and pumped to do the STINO Picard show. IIRC he was also given an executive producer credit and a small degree of creative control. So when you really think about it, it's more of a half-murder-half-suicide. It's a situation that comes to mind a bit of sage wisdom from the immortal Graham Chapman: a murder is just an extroverted suicide.

@@zagnorch1336 eh. Stewart was never much of a writer, and the entirety of Star Trek Picard was basically just a nostalgia bate-and-switch. I'd be amazed if Stewart's "creative control" was anything more than him having the ability to rewrite his own lines to make them sound more in character for Picard. The stories and scripts were well and truly written before filming began and I'd be amazed if he was able to have any meaningful impact on the worst parts of the overarching plot.

@@zagnorch1336 I’m glad you pointed this out. Patrick Stewart is a great actor, but he has lousy ideas about the Picard character. He’s the reason we got episodes like Captain’s Holiday, the silly romance subplot in Insurrection, Picard riding a dune buggy in Nemesis, etc. The Picard show is yet another example of Stewart either not understanding or just not caring what fans liked about the Picard character.

He gets it from fighting Batman

I would also like to see her reaction! :) I like to think she sent messages, now that she knows he is alive she can keep in touch, maybe strengthen the relationship between them and the federation, stop future wars... if the son of a captain (who will likely become a captain in the future) stays pen pals with his admiral grandmother they might eventually join the federation, he could at least learn more about his birth family :)

Picard never seemed to worry much what the admirals thought of his choices (especially admiral Nechayev).

@@jacksonheathen2092 Well I think he would care if an angry grandmother and Vice Admiral demoted him to Ensign.

@@warblerab2955 Perhaps so.

@@tjwparso I'd rather think that she sent a rogue group to kill the murderer and took back her son who, despite his brainwashing by those murderers, is HER son.

They would have to recast Jono, since Chad Allen retired from acting 6 years ago to work as a Clinical Psychologist.

Hahahaha! Good one

Well, we all know what happened... Damnit Riker...

I don't necessarily disagree, but can you elaborate?

This is why you must assume O'Brien to be specially trained. It is all he does, but he does it well.

@@NAANsoft Yeah, the realization that a transporter operator actually needs etiquette training. Their job has similarities to the job of parking hotel guests' cars. (What's the word for them again?)

A terrible ending. A kidnapped child is returned to his captors.

@@glennwilliams2950 How are they his captors?

@@glennwilliams2950The Enterprise abducted him. He was returned home.

He does bear some resemblance to Ricky Schroder. For a second I thought it was him, but then I recognized him as the son from Our House, Chad Allen. He was also on Dr. Quinn, which I had somehow forgotten.

*Ogrematic* "He's just mad silver spoons got cancelled." What does Chad Allen have to do with Silver Spoons?

Why the unfortunate on Enterprise, it was a fantastic show that ended literally in its prime........ honestly it should have got at least two more seasons but Star Trek reboot movies so you know herpa derp people can't understand two different universes going on at the same time.

didn't even mention Scott Bakula! 🖖

That second one is correct, but I think we need to have general agreement about dolphins. They're too smart to be food, yo.

@@MisterYankou There was a Japanese national who did an interview and he said they've been eating dolphin for years. His words were the only reason Americans find it barbaric is because to us Dolphins are cute.

The Middle East's customs are backwards tho?

I think this is a reference to the american government taking away native american children from their families.

While I don't think any Dolphins that they eat are endangered don't they also have high levels of mercury...or is that just Shark?

The Federation never does things like that and other worlds know that.

That was one of the most interesting aspects of DS9, that things weren't nearly so cut-and-dried as they typically were on TNG.

Data: Captain, you do realize that this is a capital offense, and that it is to be summarily and immediately prosecuted and punished? Riker: You should have gone with the anchovies, sir. Then you would have only gotten 25 to life with the possibility of parole. Wesley "The Weeb Dweeb" Crusher, thinking to himself: I sure hope they don't find out about the most popular pizza toppings in Japan...

“Captain, it is not a crime to create delicious food. I have seen BBQ, buffalo wings, and macaroni and cheese on pizza as well, and some people dip theirs in ranch. Pineapple, in my humble opinion, is one of the least offensive things to happen to the cuisine. As they say, Captain, to each his own.”

@@firebladetenn6633 You seem to be under the horribly mistaken impression that you're living in a democracy; how unfortunate. In any case, we have your confession on file. Mr. Worf, escort this sick degenerate to the disintegration chamber. No, Mr. Worf, you can't push the disintegration button during the execution; Ensign Dahmer has already called dibs.

@@zagnorch1336 Damn, Picard! I never saw this side of you on the show!

@@firebladetenn6633 Not on the show... but if you ever saw "Conspiracy Theory," you'd be well aware-- not to mention very wary-- of my darker side. Of course, considering Mel Gibson's antics since that movie was made, you might not consider me the "bad guy" nearly as much as you used to...

You can see them stuffed into the front of his jacket when he turns around.

Not necessary if you are a trained transporter operator able to read context.

I'm sure if he wanted that then that's what would have of happed, but he felt like if he spent more time getting to know Earth ways it would be like turning his back on his father and people. Not saying he's right but that's what he thought, and its not like he cant ever reach out to his Grandmother again now that he knows of her, he just doesn't have to do it right now.

Better not. Now knowing where his loyalty is, he could have become a spy.

Instead the writers went for a forced self-worship of philosophical superiority. It is when the mind writes before the heart, which is kinds ironic considering the content of the story.

Kirk eventually taught him that no matter what, he must not accept promotions. So long he's still in the captains chair, he can still change things. Picard retires in the CBS series, and look how the galaxy has gone to shit as a result.

Probably a blessing in disguise, considering how many corrupt admirals we've encountered in both TNG and DS9.

@@DarkestVampire92 Nope it went to hell when he accepted a promotion to Admiral.

@@3Rayfire To be fair, the destruction of Romulus wasn't his fault. It was J. J. Abram's fault.
