Oh man, your TNG stuff is some of my very favouritest stuff on RU-vid. Also, while I'm here, your Vape God meme is absolutely amazing! Thank you for doing what you do, Tyler. 👌👍👍
Thank you so very much for the retrospective... Makes for an epic bedtime story without having to watch entire episodes. In addition your witticisms are a gut busting. I live in a wooded area. During your moments of silence, I could actually hear the crickets outside! It made me laugh even harder. Thank you and may the Force be with you... Oh I meant Live long and prosper! Peace!
What a find. I've got TNG playing in the background as we speak (and most of the day anyway lol) and use it as my work background noise. Great comfort. You've done a wonderful job; thanks for this. Think you've got a new supporter. Measure of a Man was when TNG got my attention and I knew I was onboard.
This is fantastic. I'm a very big fan of your channel, and your TNG content is definitely some of the best on RU-vid. 4+ hours for TNG is phenomenal. Thank you! Keep up the content and hard work.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I know it will be awesome. I hope that there's a couple hours devoted to the ongoing saga of master-pokerman Worf, decisively winning in, "The Emissary," to drastically loosing every game thereafter, while being ridiculed by Data and Geordi.
Pulaski is actually great. I think it was partly shock, partly dislike of older women and partly love of Crusher that made her so unpopular. I was sorry to hear Diana Muldaur had such a bad experience working on TNG, but I was also happy to have Crusher return.
Loved the video big respect for the almost 5hrs of TNG content. btw has anyone ever mentioned how you look related to neocranium all I could think of for the first few to camera portions of the video
TNG is my fav ST series of all time. I love the characters, the silliness, and its overall positivity. My only real complaint about it is it's bizarre fascination with historical figures. Those episodes were always the worst and incredibly dull. At least the bad episodes like Sub Rosa were hilarious, haha.
One story line that I'd like to have seen was one where a first contact happens by a pre-warp society accidentally tuning into the subspace communications network.
@Nostripe361 yeah, but it was never shown. there are some prime directive episodes that have hints of it. I think there is one where Data communicates with a little girl on a dying pre-warp planet.
@@mystuff8602 yeah that’s the episode Pen pals. Here planet is basically suffering the apocalypse from the movie 2012 but due to the dilithium in their planet’s crust her radio was able to reach into sub space and be picked up by Data. Good episode though it does make some of the crew seem like dicks for not wanting to stop an extinction of a sentient species just became they haven’t reach warp yet
SNW started with a sort of lateral take on that idea. It's a great and realistic premise that as a first contact story would be interesting and different plus allow us to see what Starfleet protocols are concerning this "NOW" in a post pen pal continuity. I don't mind the Prime Directive Eps or how that rule is set up... But a civilization capable of communication through the void before it breaks the Warp barrier is interesting as a proposition. In Pen Pals it was happenstance... What happens when it's intentional? What happens when an alien's civilization's version of SETI breaks into a Starfleet subspace channel? Food for thought.
I just noticed that I was unsubscribed from your channel... But I have been subscribed for a very long time. Thought it was weird, and so did my wife because we watch you together sometimes.
Have I seen all of the TNG retrospectives more than once (including watching them all in order in one sitting)? Yes. Will I watch this video in one sitting? Also yes.
There are families on D and a lot of extra space because the idea is the Federation is world building, or culture building. Plus space for emergency rescues and diplomatic events.
@@OrangeRiver it's not boring, it's just great content to listen to when dozing. I hope you do more in depth reviews on episodes. Great work and great humour 👍🏼
I've a personal theory that 'Hide and Q' is possibly the beginning of an acute inferiority complex, within Will... Ultimately why he refuses promotions... Yet silll, I feel this is more a good thing and Will becomes instilled with more of an admiration...rather three a complex. He's ejected with a new purpose to better ones self... Although he could see this as something ultimately unachievathe...yet that's no reason not to try..!!
I am a Super Fan of TNG and Star Trek in total. This is a great video and one that needs to be done for all of the Star Trek series. Forget the crap after Enterprise.
@@GeorgeKingery I get that. This a joke. But as every joke has a cernel of truth, that show was not good, ecxept for those thirsty shower scenes of T’pol, haha. They made my day as a kid!
I really appreciate these videos. I got my girlfriend into Star Trek through the movies and am currently half way through the first season of TOS with her. I was worried she wouldn't wanna watch TNG since so much of its first two seasons are not very good, but with your curated episode list, I think I might be able to get her through it without subjecting her to the worst TNG has to offer. :)
Loved this entire thing, although I think I need to take issue with something. When Wort kills Duras I believe it was less to do with Duras framing Worf’s father and more about Duras killing Kalar, Worf’s mate and the mother to his son Alexander.
ive heard that before, but i would only say season 1 is the outlier. season 2 has some really important, and really good episodes, and shouldnt be missed!
I’d rather naked now than the binar episode. It established some of the few character traits between Data and Tasha that reverberate into the rest of the series Good vid thanks
I've been watching tng again lately. Some of the costumes and effects are dated now, but the show still looks amazing close to 40 years later. And the stories are still amazing. It was actually a show I hated as a kid because it was "boring" but I absolutely love it later in life.
I always liked the Ferengi and how they're caricatures of capitalists. I thought they would have made good villains in TNG, but the openly Fascist Romulans ended up being much scarier and more intense, and probably a better match up with the Federation, who strives for peaceful and inclusive diplomatic relations with all of its member planets instead of domination. DS9 really leans into the Ferengi and I think they work better in that setting anyway
*_"I AM ARMUS! THIS IS MY DOMAIN!"_* "Yeah! We already know you're ARMUS, dummy!" "Come and find us~! We're touching your stuff~!" *_"WHAT STUFF?! STOP THAT! WHEN I FIND YOU, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU WITH A FLAKE OF MY POWER!. I AM A SKIN OF EVIL! DAH!"_* *SPLAT* "More like a puddle of ****!" Best prank call ever.
Oh was Riva actually deaf or did he just do a good job with his signing? Idk any sign languages (just letters), so Idk if the signs were right, but him taking up more space and using more forceful motions for his signs is how that works. I learned recently deaf people whisper/talk/shout based on their signing space and facial expressions
S1 does get better toward the end. But I can count on 1 hand the episodes I liked. I actually like We Always Have Paris and it was followed by Conspiracy, which is probably an inferior story to Paris but it does have a crazy ending. Lonely Among Us and Naked Time are good!! There's just not enough consistency in the season. It feels like it wasn't wasn't quite ready. Like they were making up stories on the fly. Really simple ones a kid can see through. 😂😂
I don't think having continuity of consciousness disproves the idea that transporter does not kill the original body. The converse relies on the uniqueness of consciousness which was never explicitly stated. It can be seen as a directive of the transporter systems to ensure only one consciousness "survives", rather than some explicit rule of the universe.
You make seasons one and two seem palatable. Good work, Gene couldn't even do that. I've loved TNG since it first aired, but by The One, those first two seasons are rugged.
RLM Picard reviews have brought me here and have brought me to watch some TGN and i like it. Never liked it before, thought it was weird & looked corny but now that im older i get that its the stories that matter and maybe lessons learned. I also remember my moms bf would watch it and i always left the room i thought this is so boring even though i was a star wars kid ya know i liked space stuff but anyways.
I felt and feel that the hugh episode is the first that messes up the Borg. For some reason, even though we thought the show might end with that cliffhanger where Picard goes Borg, it ends up established that it's not that difficult to deborg a Borg (actually, I suppose it begins with how easy it was to deborg Picard .) i felt cheated by how that cliffhanger resolved. It should have taken more. But as of now there are at least 3 deborgs in star trek.
