I've Been In This Room Before 

The fact that Riker's arm was _amputated_ and put back on NEAR seamlessly without him ever realizing is so creepy to me. It makes me feel icky just thinking about something like that happening to me.

You would think that the computer would immediately alert the ships crew when a crewmember was detected to be missing from the vessel.

Man when Geordi says "I've been in this room before" he legit looks like he's going to be sick. Fantastic work from Levar there.

This episode is probably the creepiest they've done, in a good way. It gave me nightmares as a kid.

Shows how great the writing was that they were still able to do a creepy and interesting old school alien abduction story within a futuristic sci-fi show.

Riker in the beginning looks genuinely terrified. Props to Jonathan Frakes

This one has stayed with me over the years. Gave me chills then. Gives me chills now.

Whether it was due to budget constraints or just creative thinking, it certainly adds to the spooky factor to leave your imagination to guess what all happened to them with just medical diagnosis and references to the creepy room. Sometimes, your imagination can frighten you and disturb you more on the ways Riker's arm was cut off and put back on or Geordie's implants being messed with, etc.

Possibly my all time favourite TNG episode as it was so well written, acted, and directed. The collective discovery of their abductions was so disturbing, followed by the realisation that Riker's arm had been amputated and reattached freaked me out. Just brilliant!

This scene is really well done. Really captures the moment and tension they were all feeling.

Riker: "We've all been here before" **Dramatic rising horns** Troi: "Except me. I wasn't in this room before. I'm just here to help you guys remember." Riker: "Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot." **Horns deflate comically**

I swear Deanna's afro grows an inch every time the camera pans to her

I saw this decades ago, and i still remember the look on that lady's face as she covered her ears.

0:55 NOPE ☠☠☠

This episode and Frame of Mind were brilliant and delved into a place I wish TNG had more time to explore and go to. Like Outer Limits but even creepier with characters we grew to know so well over this series’ tenure. Peak TNG if you ask me.

~3:10+... That's one way to tell Will and Thomas apart.

Computer:There are two crewmembers unaccounted for. Picard:And you didn't feel the need to alert us in any way about that? Computer:You didn't ask.

Those sounds creeped me out when I was 10 🥶😵‍💫😶‍🌫️

2:10 Seriously, they even took Data, this I did *NOT* remember.

It was an x-files type abduction episode. Was a good episode.

This was a very scary episode, as it was simply meant to be. Television at it's finest.

This episode straight traumatized me as a kid 😮 i will never ever forget that clicking

One of my favorite (Although probably not many peoples one) episode of TNG. It felt kinda different. THe Enterprise is normally the one in a position of Strength. But when the story is done, they are really none the wiser about what really went on.

This whole episode gives some strong Fire In The Sky vibes. *Shudder*

This was a great episode. Creepy, engaging, and never fully resolving its mysteries. Hard sci-fi. What bothers me, though, is the part about missing crew. I can buy fellow crewers not noticing -- if people aren't on-shift, who knows where they might be, and it's not anyone's problem/business if they're single and living alone. However, the computer clearly knows, or at least is able to run a pattern-matching count in 0.85 seconds. So, *why doesn't it do this regularly?* They've had disappearances before, including the captain himself in "Q Who." We know that transporters are a thing, and that some civilizations have things like teleportation powers or dimensional-shifting devices. It just seems like a simple, basic procedure that even a non-military ship would run: have the computer use the internal sensors to count the sapient lifeforms aboard every 3-5 minutes (you'd obviously have access restrictions to the data to protect individuals' privacy to the extent appropriate). If that number changes without the arrival/departure of a shuttlecraft or the use of a docking hatch, gangway, or ship's transporters, have the computer initiate a warning for the section chief of ship's security, alert Sickbay, and notify the Main Bridge. I know that would sap some dramatic potential, but it seems insane that you'd have that capability and not use it. The _Enterprise_ is sophisticated enough that a crewer or passenger suffering a cardiac arrest could be readily identified within a time window during which resuscitation might still be possible. Why on Earth wouldn't you use that functionality as a matter of routine, even aside from the security considerations?

The first half of this episode is awesome. The last half isn't bad, but it's definitely overshadowed by the first part. Great episode overall! 😎

This episode is brought into the fore front in STO. Good mission line

I want atleast another horror episode, with the reality of space exploration im suprised it hasn't happened

This eps deserves a award

I've been in this room before! yes, it's the holodeck!!

This is such a great episode. Its terrifying without being scary. Staring into the darkness with the sounds in the dark... weve all been there, feeling that fight or flight response

Definitely an abduction by aliens type episode. It was a popular genre and there were quite a number of people who believed it to be a true phenomena. This is a great creepy episode using this concept to great advantage. They supposedly did things like amputating arms and putting them back on again, for "science".

One of the best episodes. Legit spooky.

I always thought this verified the reported alien abductions on Earth in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Well during that time Alien Abduction talk was on almost every channel on TV

At least they were nice enough to reattach rikers arm

3:02 lol I dont know if a doctor should say a shocked "my god" after looking at a test while the patient is right there in front of her.

With how accurate the recreations were I say the computer was in on this!! (insert sarcasm here) lol

2:12 haha This is one of the many times the writers or producers of Star Trek got the whole "military" atmosphere vibe wrong. When somebody is missing from a military unit, especially on a ship and during a work shift, somebody in charge will know about it.

Love that the LT in the cargo bay didn't alert anyone. Like, nah this is pretty standard for this ship.

Voyager has always been my fav because its peak sheek trek build of rhe cannon of tng. It also has alot more science and humour. But it always paladin comparison to tng when trying to do horror. Tng new horror. Eyes in the darkness... one moon circles....

Lots of praise flys around for the various Treks vs eachother. Im confidently going to say the horror in all other series doesnt come close to TNG. This and Night Terrors are excellent.

ChatGPT, produce a metal table, with a restraint with controls on it and a metal swing arm with scissor like tool coming out of it. Also, there should be clicks coming from the darkness. ChatGPT, ok, here is the room...

I think it would help jog my memory if Troi lay on the table and put on the restraints! 🤔

This set the seeds for "Signs" (2002)

Good use of minor officers/randōs in this episode

Great scene but how did the holodeck go from a standard wooden table to such a specific metal table?

And, if they had a reduced crew, not lots of people onboard, it would be easy to notice if someone was taken.

Pesky, sneaky, tachyons

All I hear is “ iv BEANS in this room before.

ridiculous that they would take and sedate data

So people disappear from a starship unnoticed and nobody gets alarmed?

This one is the first one that yt showed me 😐🖖

This episode is full of hypocrisy and it's funny in a good way. They're supposed to feel as if this is a violation to a species while the federation did this exact same thing.
