I got my partner into Star Trek (started with TOS and just finishing TNG (TODAY we are watching the last double-parter!) and he has Riker'ed me.
And my mum, who has never seen TNG, commented on the cake, "(turning to my partner) you look a lot like him!"
I've been Riker'ed by my very own Riker.
1914 - 2001
After 2 days of hard work, I was the Enterprise!! Im super happy with how everything turned out and even won a contest over 100 people entered at work! My coworkers thought it was a nerdy idea but I didn’t let it discourage me lol
Im saying I’m Data from season 7 episode 11 to cover for the lack of colour contacts. Maybe next time I’ll do those too. But as a guy who used to go to the barber as a kid and request “the commander data” and show a picture… this was a lot of fun. Hope everyone out there in the TNG world is having a spooky Halloween.
The Federation may be an unprecedentedly open society, but that doesn't mean all technology is available to anyone. The holodecks were designed as a perk for officers, crew, & passengers on the latest Starfleet vessels... but originally the technology was locked up there. Not in any legal sense, just because Starfleet never bothered to share the specifications, had no one who saw that as their job. Perhaps they even preferred it that way, to goose enlistment.
So a lot of officers came to the 1701-D and were like "Wow, this is amazing!" They hadn't seen it before, or had seen much cruder versions.
Of course, it was bound to eventually get out, either by inventors and engineers leaving Starfleet service, or by straight-up reverse engineering. So we get the Ferengi holosuites later on.
This also accounts for why Picard et al were so surprised at Barclay's misuse. They were just working out the cultural implications of the technology - it was like noticing people glued to their iPhone in 2008. (For all we know, one in five crew members were behaving like Barclay, but the others were sensible enough never to let it slip to the senior staff.)
And then by the time of Lower Decks, with the benefit of time and experience, they had added certain, uh, filters.
Does anyone else find the presence of Mark Twain's character in Times Arrow makes it virtually unwatchable? My mom and I just watched it together and were practically plugging our ears toward the end of part two because the fake crooning voice the actor puts on is so unbearable to listen to. I swear, that character is such a corny, over-the-top, ridiculous caricature, with a voice beyond grating, it does a complete disservice to the man who was Mark Twain and lowkey tanks the whole two-parter because he gets sooo much screen time in part 2. If only someone had recast the role or just told the actor to stop talking in that stupid voice! I love the costuming, time-travel plot, the main cast in 19th-century earth...but it's pretty much ruined by the constant nails-on-a-chalkboard warbling by MT.
got this at the flee market today for $6 bucks, it’s in rough shape but wanted it anyways!
I seem to notice it every time I rewatch.
Someone gets something from the replicator and they say "thank you", server brings them a drink or food or whatever and they don't even make eye contact or acknowledge their existence.
My first choice would be Tomalak (wonderfully played by Andreas Katsulas). Such a great character but he was only in four episodes:
