I always hated the emotion chip. I thought the thing that made Data interesting was his quest to understand humanity. It always seemed trivial if he could just download it.

@hansjuker8296 3 года назад

I think the point was that he couldn't. Data learned much, but would never understand. It's what makes his existence tragic.

@lauraashworth3632 3 года назад

@@hansjuker8296 I think the emotion chip acted as a drug that just helped him be more human but it wasn't something that was permanent. Which is probably why it was essentially abandoned by Insurrection. I do think it was a drug that helped him understand emotion longer term though because Data had the ability to remember and process memory and experiences.

@MisterMacross 3 года назад

Suddenly being able to feel emotions doesn't mean that Data will suddenly understand humanity. If anything it's just an expansion pack that simulates emotion over processes Data is already experiencing. I can't remember which episode it was, but he talks about how he gets used to the presence of people that he regularly interacts with, anticipates seeing them in the future, and remarks on their absence when they're no longer around. So Data can't actually feel the sensation of "missing" Geordi when he goes to EngiCon on Risa, but he experiences the absence of Geordi none the less. The emotions chip just simulates the feeling that experience supposedly engenders.

@MariaC497 Год назад

I liked that the original chip was so small. It's an emotion chip. So it's implied that even the smallest emotion could be massive.

From IMDb: Norman Lloyd, who plays Professor Galen (Picard's mentor who gave him the Kurlan Naiskos in the TNG episode "The Chase"), was 78 years old at the time of production, making this performance the oldest age by any actor in the series. He has the greatest longevity of any performer on the series compared to those actors who have died. He is famous for being married to the same woman for 75 years, the longest continuous marriage in Hollywood history. Norman was born in Jersey City NJ on November 8th 1914 (and was 3 years old when USA entered WWI) Sadly, Norman finally died May 11th 2021 at age 106

@@DeltaAssaultGaming Eh, it's a decent explanation, I just think the way they portray them in this movie is weird. If this was the case then why would the captain (especially someone like Picard) still be wearing the old uniform while people like Riker and Geordi are wearing the new ones? It makes it seem like they have different options and can wear the other one whenever they feel like, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of having uniformity. If we saw another crew that had the old ones while the Enterprise crew had the newer ones it'd work a lot better since it'd appear that the other crew wasn't issued the new ones yet

I have one: In “Thine Own Self” we see Troi take that Bridge Officer’s Test, which includes solving engineering problems. We can assume that Riker must have taken this test at some point to be able to command the ship. We know from “Starship Mine” that trilithium is a byproduct of the Enterprise’s own engines. Why then, does Riker sound so surprised to hear about trilithium, when I should know from his tests that it’s produced inside his own ships engine? Why doesn’t Worf know this, but calls it an “experimental compound”?

11:25 If the planet he is on is also similar to Earth in composition and density, then losing the heat from its star would not cause immediate temperature issues because planets are actually really good at storing solar heat. It would take a little over a week before the global average temperature would fall below 0°F, which is completely tolerable. Within a month, global average temperatures would no longer be hospitable to human life, falling below -30°F. At 1 year, the temperature would be a nippy -100°F. Basically, if we lost the Sun's heat, we would have about 1 month to figure out how to burrow deep underground and find sources of geothermal energy. If we were to waste any of our time or resources on anything other than building a space ship to leave the system, extinction would be assured. Eventually the planet would cool to near absolute zero, our magnetosphere would disappear as the core cools and the dynamo stalls, and then we become just another cold rock in space. R.I.P.

@atomic_wait 4 года назад

Why would the core cool that quickly? The core isn't being heated by the sun, unless you count tidal forces.

Here's two things that will make you hate the movie even more. The original writer for Yesterday's Enterprise notes that his original intention was to have the past Enterprise be the Enterprise-B, and that it would emerge from shortly before its destruction when all of the crew was killed. However he changed this to the Enterprise-C because he knew that episode would never be made. Rick Berman himself said that if they'd known that movies would get greenlit after the series ended, they would have saved the script and used it for the first movie. Also there was an unmade script which ended the plot of Data's emotion chip, back when it was in Lore's head. Lore found out about Lal and realized Data's emotion chip would repair the fundamental flaw that collapsed her positronic net (it's left vague if it would have worked, but the ending that makes most sense would be Data sacrificing his ability to feel emotions so that his daughter could live. It would also redeem Lore.)

4:55 - the uniforms I can excuse. When the US Army switched from digital camo that blends with nothing but maybe someone's grandma's couch to an ACTUAL camo pattern, it wasn't an immediate thing. Same with the dress uniforms. When they stopped issuing dress greens, most soldiers - myself at the time included - waited until they made their next rank to get the new ones. So in a formation you had waste-of-government-money camo and good camo. And at functions requiring Dress Uniforms, all the soldiers E3 up to E5 had greens, where the E1s and E2s were issued Blues at Basic Training, and E6 and up usually had enough in their paycheck to cover the update.

@The Grumpy Little Dog maybe. But then Admiral Paris would have told Insaneway to get her crew in new uniforms as soon as they made contact.

Scotty did not build the whale tank out transparent aluminum. Transparent aluminum hadn't been invented yet. What he did was trade the _formula_ for transparent aluminum to that plant manager for a whole load of thick polymer sheeting. That's why he first asked the manager how thick it needed to be to withstand the weight of the whales and the water. Plus a helicopter rental fee so they could load the sheets into the Bird of Prey from above. You see them doing that in the movie. After Scotty shows the manager the formula on his computer, he says it would take years to figure out the dynamics of its matrix, i.e., he can't just whip up a bunch of transparent aluminum right then and there; it's going to take time to learn how to make it and retool the plant in order to produce it. Scotty says the same amount of transparent aluminum which would be needed to build that whale tank would only need to be one inch thick. Take a look at the scene where they're actually building the tank. Does that material look one inch thick to you? No, it's exactly as thick as the manager said it would need to be: six and a half inches, iirc. Scotty built the whale tank out of polymer, not transparent aluminum.

At 11:25, there would be absolutely no effect whatsoever for the ~8 minutes after the star in explodes.

@LunarRocketeer 4 года назад

The atmosphere also holds in a lot of heat, so they'd be good for a while.

@LunarRocketeer 4 года назад

@Abe Banerman Right. I was saying that even after the rocket reaches and turns off the sun (in a scientifically accurate 8 minutes, or otherwise) the atmosphere holds enough heat to keep our heroe's temperature stable for quite a while.

@dangevin 4 года назад

@UCeLffqApex2ZRPlud8vgQwA It's been hand-waved by guessing that during the cutaway, "time passes" and also that the rocket may have some non-biological warp or time device that is functional after it leaves the atmosphere. However that doesn't explain how the light from the Supernova reaches the planet so quickly (people forget the round-trip), and also that gravity waves also travel at Warp 1. Additionally, the actual impact on gravity back at the planet would take SIGNIFICANTLY more time, since the total mass of the star would change at significantly less than the speed of light, as the star sheds its massive outer layers and the matter radiates at sublight speeds.

@RideAcrossTheRiver 3 года назад

The star's MASS would have to be removed

@Roper122 4 года назад

If Picard goes back to the moment before the rocket launched... shouldn't he have already been there as well? He didn't need Kirk at all. And if that was the case, and he stops the launch, shouldn't there be two Picards??

@dustisdeadbodies85 Endgame thought it through.

@DistractedGlobeGuy 4 года назад

@dustisdeadbodies85 depends what model of multi-dimensional time is the correct one. If the Novikhov model is drastically off the mark, then it's entirely reasonable to assume time travellers may be essentially isolated from direct causality like that-like in a model involving the creation of (or travel between) alternate universes by retrograde time travel.

@peterkapunkt6783 4 года назад

@dustisdeadbodies85 Time travel was good for creating a few fun episodes, but overall its a lazy story telling method that opens a huge can of worms. Star Trek would have been better without time travel, no matter how it was achieved.

@Global00Vintage 3 года назад

Mike is always brilliant, and the editing was really spot on, as usual, but Plinket tries to down play a little the way the Enterprise is now darker. "I don't like things that are different." It's good for a laugh, but he's right. It is so off putting. The ship looks so different, and for what reason? It's fancier? It has to look more dramatic for a movie? It's so silly. it's so different. it seems like such a small, nitpicky issue to have, but it is very noticeable. Especially if you grew up watching the shows.

@pguth98 Год назад

I suppose, but TV lighting is supposed to be flat, so it's easy to film on a tight budget & schedule, and bright, so you can see it on a small TV. Movie lighting is designed to look good on a massive theater screen. If every shot was super bright, it would suck to watch in a theater, and it would be much easier to see imperfections in sets, costumes, and effects. At least, that's what my one class in media & filmmaking that I took in community college taught me.

I don’t remember seeing a fake door to the captain’s lounge, either - but then again, I didn’t care enough to look for one.

She even suggests this when he asks her to go back, but she says she can't, because "she is already there."

@The Grumpy Little Dog They where actually designing new Uniforms for the movie, but at the last second, it fell apart and they had to fall back on DS9 Uniforms. Now, why they just didn't use the old uniforms is beyond me. Generations is a movie and all, but in Universe, there is nothing about this that would be different from what we see in the show. The Characters wheren't waking up one day and thought "Oh, I guess I'm in a movie now."

@matthewburns3471 3 года назад

@@TheSorrel I've also explained in my mind as Generations taking place well after the series ended. In universe Season 7 takes place in 2370 and Generations in 2371. Also the DS9 uniform jumpsuits were introduced from the beginning I think, which is 2369, so in-universe Starfleet had been changing over between these two uniforms for at least 2 years at this point. I think it could possibly also be explained away as Starfleet actually used these two types of uniforms throughout the lifetime of these uniforms, between 2366 and 2372/3.

@TerrenceNowicki 10 месяцев назад

I just noticed that there's at least one extra in this very movie, in one of the shots Plinkett includes in the segment about the uniforms, wearing one of the modified uniforms they made by just adding a collar to a season 1-2 uniform while removing the piping from the shoulders. You can always recognize them by the zipper they have running down the center.

@TerrenceNowicki 10 месяцев назад

@@matthewburns3471 I think the canonical explanation they've since come up with was that initially the DS9 uniforms were for stations and/or particularly remote assignments, while the TNG uniforms were for crew on capital ships, but then Starfleet decided to briefly make the deep space uniforms fleetwide before changing their minds again shortly afterwards and replacing all uniforms with the TNG movie-style uniforms. Lower Decks has much more clearly canonized the assignment-dependent uniforms during that period, since the crews of capital ships have consistently been shown wearing the TNG movie-style uniforms, whereas crews of support vessels like the California class all have the Lower Decks-style uniform. I guess Discovery also did the assignment-dependent uniforms thing, but theirs looked dumb so I don't want to give it any credit.
