I love the way LaForge takes the time to politely greet his friend, “Hi, Data,” in the middle of some very important dialogue.

Did she even grow a single stalk of beans?!

That "Hi Data" reminds me of someone walking in on a group of people playing a game

That "hi Data" from Geordi was so adorable. Like you walk into class and your dad is the teacher lmfao.

I love how the head of state had an answer for everything, even Picard's rhetorical question about trash

I love the moment when Picard describes using godlike powers as snaping fingers like You Know Who does it

2:00 This is a very good objection, and it's why a trial attorney saves the argumentation for the closing argument. Picard should have phrased that statement as a question: "As an expert in Mintaxian history, in your opinion, is it possible that your people achieved those reforms without help?" You can't object to expert testimony about the likelihood of something they're quite familiar with.

She was a great actress. She played this part to perfection. It's sad that she passed away.

Oh Picard, you know your immortal soul belongs to Q. That or Lwaxana Troi... Though considering your options there, maybe you should have thrown yourself at her mercy.

I do love the blatant conflict of interest in the line "If you do not mind I will draw my own conclusions... Sir."

I find it interesting that despite Data's position as a judge (albeit temporarily), he still showed deference to Picard by addressing him as "sir" even though he was in a logically higher position of authority at that current time.

I like the main message here. The message is simple - We have the power, through simple hard work, to change our world for the better. Those who advocate for powers outside of us to save the world cannot deliver, only those who debate, create long-standing reputable institutions, and work work work hard can save us, and I am thankful for that message. 'The Meek shall inherit the Earth' indeed.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize your logo is a rotated Heinz 57 keystone.

Geordie, interrupting a trial: "Hi, Data." Data, acting as judge for said trial: "Geordie." I love these bros.

2:59 Geordi: HOLD IT! (camera flashes dramatically between everyone in the courtroom)

It would have been a really great twist towards the end if Ardra actually was a Goddess/Devil. She would appear to Picard at the end and explain she scared the ancient Ventaxians in to cleaning up their world. She then returned 1000 years later and put on this charade in the hopes they would see through it and abandon superstition and not be so willing to believe of con artists and trickery. Though she would be disappointed the Ventaxians didn't figure this out for themselves, though with Picard's help the message was delivered effectively enough.

"Hi Judge Data!" *waves* "The peanut gallery is in contempt of court."

3:21 "Mr. Laforge, please tell me everything you've found out, make sure to speak slightly louder than a whisper, she's only standing about 4 meters away."

1:35 So that's where that meme comes from!

_Jeopardy?_ I thought this was _Star Trek: The Next Generation,_ the only show I pledged my immortal soul to.

everyone's got a cloaking device except the mighty federation

Say what you will, but Ardra is smokin' hot.

If she guaranteed Picard all you can eat beans, I'm sure he would have accepted her terms.

she would make a great politician

I think it would have been great if this was a Dread Pirate Roberts situation: the first Ardra pretended to be a god to save people, and the role was passed down through the years

3:55 that will look good on Geordi's end of yeah report

Without a SHOT being fired, without anybody actually fighting, this was still a very good episode.

Data: "One hour recess is granted." Also Data: 3:12 "ooooh thank god I need to change the oil." _neeeeyum_

1:34 "one pice of trash!" ^^

"So Tom, what exactly is it, you'd say...yer queen does here?" "She has people skills! What the hell is wrong with you people?!"

Ardra's appearance in this story ends with an "Until we meet again" line. When _TNG_ was originally being aired, I half expected to see her again. Shoot, I can point to about 3/4 of the forgettable episodes of the 7th season that I'd happily trade for a "Devil's Due II."

Did she not even pick up one piece of trash?! Looooooll

Fun Fact: This episode was originally drafted as part of a Star Trek sequel series that never got greenlit about a second 5-year voyage of the Enterprise under Captain Kirk; and believe me, it shows.

Only one thing can save your soul Jean-Luc. And that thing is beans.

“I… like the tremors.” 🤣 This is one of my favorite episodes, full stop. Great mystery and plot. Ardra is so hott. 😍

This was one of the times when it strained credulity that the Enterprise was overpowered (if temporarily) by a greatly inferior ship. Another was The Inner Light where the little satellite somehow blew through the Enterprise's shields and possessed Picard.

That room is indeed a paradise 😝

Never end your examination on a sustained objection.

Jean-Luc Picard, Attorney-At-Law.

An excellent cliffhanger for a clip 👍

Ahhh, nothing like Trek, Beans, and Coffee in the morning........

I love that Charles Rennie Macintosh chairs indicate futurism. They were designed in the 1890s.

That was a crispy fucking finger snap.

My soul's in jeopardy... baby... ooooo-oo-oo-oooo... Stay safe wherever you are, Weird Al.

I know it’s a tv show but on a ship with a thousand people you’d think they might have some actual people who have practiced law, as lawyers or judges. 😂

Paul Drake just walked into the courtroom.

Episode brought to you my MSNBC

My immortal beans are in jeopardy

Completely awesome

damn those chairs seem super uncomfortable.

This episode is a secret masterpiece

This is a great episode. But still, after the federation hostages were released, Picard really had no claim here. I think you could easily say that it was a violation of the prime directive to have this arbitration.

What would you say... ya DO here???

Didn't she know something was wrong when she wasn't able to contact her crew for an hour?

wow we need Ardra

I would have shown Aardra the Picard Maneuver...

Thanks for upload I like this episode :)

Picard has the gift of using logic and arguments to skilfully expose and prove how flawed Ardra's claims are here. If it weren't for Data ensuring that both sides got a fair hearing, the con artist would have been beaten and her claims thrown out of court, ages ago.

Tall poppy syndrome in Star Trek!

It would have been interesting if Claudia Black were to play Ardra.

Picard would have made a helluva barrister.

hi data c: hi geordie :> like two kids on the playground

Who here likes beans?

...and then Q appeared...

When Patrick Stewart says “Good Lord” that in the English vernacular is referring to the good Lord Jesus Christ. I miss good dialog like that with expressive powerful delivery that had purpose.

If you do not mind....... Sir

What? An all-powerful being who can make things happen by snapping their finger? Ridiculous.

The doctor heals and God takes the fee.

This appears to be the reverse of “Who Watches the Watchers”… A very powerful supernatural being appears to not be only mythological: but to be real and rather than holding back scientific advancement with superstition-has granted it!

great clip, probley great episode - this clip leaves 2 questions, 1- who ‘soul was in great jeopardy’? &2- so wat’d she do, if not the Omni-valuable nothing(no for real)? 😑

1:35 Where the "Warp Factor Fuck You" meme came from

Had she become a can of beans they would be convinced.

If aliens come to Earth, we will seriously need to brush up on our own history. "How exactly did you create your form of government 1000 years ago?" 😂

Isn't this episode one of a few that were written for the proposed second ST series with the original cast?

I’ve always been confused about the “invisibility” effect of the cloaking device. Does it work with the shields to bend electromagnetic waves around the ship?

Another of the Roddenberry franchise's relentless attack on any form of theism. All the godlike figures are always malevolent, selfish and/or fraudulent.

Love Star Trek (not the new trash) but one thing that always sort of bothered me was civilizations in canon calling their home planet things like Ventrex 2. Who would name their own planet like that? It would just be called Ventrex. Like would we call our planet Earth 3 since it's the third planet in the system. Just a small critique

I wish I had a Jeordi.

...no. ...no. ...no. 😂

Stone soup

The Atheist episode!

*_YOU LEFT OUT THE BEST FKN PART!!!!??_* 🤔🤦🏼🙄🤷🏼 #WASTEofMyTime!

I swear this has Jehovah's witness implications

I love that one piece of trash comment.

hmmm?

I love Star Trek, so please do not misunderstand me. But let's say that this woman IS Ardra (hypothetically). Even though she was not physically present during the planet's changes over the centuries since the planet's contract was signed with her, she still needed to be more influential in assisting those changes. If the real Ardra is a spiritual being, she could have helped influence decisions that ended in beneficial outcomes. She could also have effected changes in attitudes since the people from the point of the contract onward were all, essentially, living in fear. I say this because, as much as I love and respect Gene Roddenberry, his worldview seems to frequently aim at undermining the existence of God. That's entirely his choice, but I find it a sad choice, for him and for Star Trek fandom.

Framerate is poor. Is it to get around RU-vid's copyyright checkers?

in a different universe, picard was ugly, Ardra was not attracted to him and she destroyed the Enterprise.

A.I.'s would be perfect Judges. Absolutely no bias or ability to be influenced.

Was this clip down-sampled or something? It's nauseating.

I’m happy that Deep Space 9 dialed back the anti religious bigotry a few notches

can't believe how much WOKE sh** snuck into these episodes

I like people that like Star Trek. Cause I know the idea of a Prophet is just silly.

Another 3 fps video.

When I was younger, I really liked this show. Now that I am older, I can see clearly that the show was written by atheists. Did nothing create everything? No, that is a scientific impossibility. Therefore, there is a creator! Jesus is the answer. He is the ONLY way to the Father in Heaven. Believe in and OBEY the Lord Jesus Christ, repent of your sins, get baptized, receive the Holy Spirit and be saved!

Picard is so egotistical. Immortal soul? What? Do you have the power cosmic? When the bulb burns out, it's done.
