This is taken from my Star Trek The Next Generation Moments project that I'm working on. As happened with the TV series, which had a makeover in their Third Season, I have also edited the info banner to make it easier to read.
The project will show the best of STNG in a series of memorable moments from each episode. My personal favourites are longer but I still have some work to do on it, see what you think.
But please watch it from my STNG Moments Playlist, that way you can see each episode as they are meant to be seen. • Star Trek Moments TNG ...
Summery.
Episode : 55. Geordi is trapped on a harsh planet with a hostile Romulan, and the two must work together to survive.

I was such a huge Babylon 5 fan he always lives on in my mind as Citizen G'Kar, I often forget just how wonderful he was as Tomalak.

@Nine-Signs 4 года назад

I just came to say that but youve done it for me, good man. - My favourite role of his will always be G'Karm so many utterly stunning scenes portrayed by him and Londo, far more worthy of an Oscar than half the tripe of hollywood. The ones I was most moved by was his speech to the non aligned worlds on freedom after naan fell. Though it may take a thousand years, we will be free. - "no hiding place"was also very special. - His funniest scene has to be the lift with Lando after the bombing. Dark humoured and practically psychotic, apparently mostly ad libbed by them. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NkwF5BBL26I.html

I'd say Tomalok got out of this pretty cleanly here. He crossed the Neutral Zone, got his man back, and that man wasn't interrogated by the Federation as to why he was caught on a Federation planet, even though he was beamed onto the Enterprise. And it was all without a fight.

@RALYC_GAMING 2 года назад

Because, above all else, Picard was trying to protect the piece with Romulus. With their Warbird nose to nose with the Enterprise, if they tried to hold and interrogate him it could have sparked an attack from Tomalok and started a war.

I kind of like the functional simplicity of the Cardassian Galar class. It's a generation behind the state of the art but still packs a wallop. The Galar exists to do one thing, that is kill other ships with its heavy phasers. and if it's supported by escort and picket ships it can do it very effectively. Alone though, it's very vulnerable to being outmaneivered.

It looked absolutely sluggish at turning around in Generations. The only time it looked really responsive was when Picard piloted it out of an energy-sapped minefield. So having a significant turn radius wouldn't surprise me. Not sure if a warbird pivots on a dime either...

Stellar in every sense of the word- the storylines, the actors, the set pieces; when you take into account just how tight the filming budget actually was- TNG becomes all that more impressive. Television today begs for something of this caliber- yet we seem wholly unwilling or unable to create anything comparable to this show. On another note, I'm still pissed that Enterprise was cancelled right as it was getting it's legs... We were robbed of what no doubt would've become more classic Trek- the whole Andorian arc would've made an amazing 5th season.

I'd say that - although the style is very different - The Expanse definitely does provide the same level of depth, quality and thoughtfulness as this on current tv.

I'd have at least disabled them when their shields were dropped. No prisoners. No starfleet technology. One dirty officer. He could have had it all. Disect the Enterprise for every bit of technical information and leave it's broken hull on his new front lawn. Imprison the Starfleet personnel and assimilate the families into Romulan culture as a PR stunt. That's not just a promotion, that's a Senator's seat. I'd have voted for him. Long live The Empire.

Such an act would have started another war with the Federation. An unprovoked attack against a Federation vessel - the Enterprise, no less - in Federation space. A war that the Romulans would have lost, given the Klingons were allies of the Federation at this time, and they were always eager for a scrap with the Romulans.

@MyGamer125 3 года назад

I find the Romulans to be so fascinating. They’re often viewed as dishonorable, conniving, and warmongering, and perhaps some of them are. But some of them also have their own sense of honor. And then there’s the episodes with Spock, when we learn that not all Romulans have the same views when it comes to other species. In this episode, you can see that Tamalok was concerned about the well being of one of his soldiers. And then there’s my favorite interaction, when the Federation, Klingons, Cardassians, and Romulans were investigating a mysterious genetic sequence that revealed that they are all actually descendants of a long extinct progenitor species. It was the Romulan captain that was willing to accept the concept of a sort of distant kinship with Humanity, and that perhaps, one day there may be peace between both species. I love that the writers gave each species layers, and didn’t just make each one good or bad.

Tomalak may have been concerned about his officer but his arrogance was still staggering and a true portrayal of a typical Romulan.

@Zoomer30 4 года назад

Inconsistency in technology. They can't use the transporters when the shields are up, but they can do two way voice communications. It's also an electromagnetic medium, it would be garbled by the shields.

@tessajalloh3914 4 года назад

The comms technology of star trek utilises subspace, whereas the transporters are a matter/energy converter that breaks down matter in one place into an energy stream, and reconstitutes it in another place. Which needs the shields to be down or the energy stream can't get to it's destination and is scattered and lost. Think of it as... warp phones. Just like the ship can enter warp with the shields up, so can their communications.

3:06 Disruptors powering down. Anyone know how the disruptors compare to the phasers on Enterprise? Do the Romulans have physical weapons similar to the photon torpedoes?

@PoopLoop202 2 года назад

in the original series, the Romulans in The Balance Of Terror also used disruptors. Even back then, they were powerful enough to tear through shields and was quoted as having penetrated through an entire mile of solid iron to reach and destroy an outpost beneath the surface of an asteroid. It can be assumed they only got stronger since Kirk's time, and far superior to phasers.

It would have to be something like the "Son of Tomaluk"... because the actor that gave the Fugitive the one-arm man is long gone.

@Barbutt 3 года назад

I assume the only reason a Romulan ship can power down weapons is their cloaking device. “Would you be so kind as to power down your weapons?” ‘What does that mean?’ “Turn your weapons off.” ‘Still not following. There’s no off switch. Rest assured I have no intentions of using them… today anyway.’
