Tjwparso - Thanks again for the great clip! Whenever you post a clip, I usually end up re-watching the episode. I’m doing that right now with this episode.
Who are you to thank us? This is not your product.
You seam like a real fun guy... don't worry, I retract my thank you, it wasn't aimed at you pal... it was for the cool beans in the audience watching that comment about the scene or the episode or make a joke etc...
Exposed by whom
That guy is hilarious. Upset at you for being polite. Hope you didn't let buddy over there get at you. I was gonna thank you for pinning the episode so I can rewatch it. It was a good episode. Best wishes man. Karen's come as all kinds. Fuck em.
Brent Spiner does an excellent job making Data seem unnerving and creepy in the rare moments throughout the show where he, for whatever reason is untrustworthy.
Indeed - in fact, as I had forgotten this episode, I was wondering if it was Lore walking down the ramp on the bridge as he had an air of edgy deception about him. That's good acting, especially within the limitations placed on him.
Another great example of this is "Phantasms". Season 7, episode 5.
He is a ham. lol. Him and Stewart no doubt pushed for all the Shakespearian and victorian plot lines during TNG.
@@dallassukerkin6878 "indeed - in fact"?
yakk 🐂
@Sunday Girl 😆..Good point
My headcannon: the Paxans weren't xenophobic just for the hell of it. They were hiding from a very deadly enemy.
The Enterprise's counter to the Paxan attack was to vary their shield strength and harmonics. Don't these counter-measures sound awfully familiar? Like something you'd use against the Borg?
Paxan: "We cannot let you leave with what you know. The evil that drove us here will find you and consume you. From you, they will know of us, and come here! This cannot come to pass!"
Damn that’s some pretty deep head canon, really adds to the lore.
I believe that’s intentional. The Paxan may have seemed cruel but they were just terrified of another attack.
There is no withdrawal from the Garden.
There's certainly precedent in canon
More then likely this is exactly what is going on. The borg can be of any race, any species. The Paxan have no way of telling who's who until they are practically right on top of them. You can't beat the borg, only hide from them is their thought process. With them mind wiping the knowledge of their existence from the crews memories it does in fact prevent the borg from finding them and makes perfect sense.
Loved this scene where Picard figures out Data is under orders.
You can’t really say Picard doesn’t trust data he just doesn’t have the context to be able to trust him with the level that takes all the lives of the crew. He trusted him enough to literally keep his mouth shut but when Troy came in he was like we is dead might as well tell y’all hyup
@@woon1che222 Picard is a fool. He should always do what Data says.
@@jasonmichael3676 Data is capable of error in judgement, there is an entire episodic scenario that occurs purely because Prichard trusted Data last second.
And it's because Data got a clue that he was incorrect that saved the ship in the end.
I love how in character Picard's reaction is to finding out he told Data to lie. The truth has always been sacrosanct to him
@@VictorythroughUnity59 well they practically made data like fucking Siri or god just omniscient
It occurred to me, if the climax of this narrative were to end on a grim note, it would make an excellent Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode.
"Now, who gave you that order?"
"You did, sir."
THERE ARE PLACES IN THE FINAL FRONTIER...WHERE NO-ONE SHOULD GO AT ALL.
But isn't that true of every ST episode?
Intriguing idea! Lots of TNG episodes would make great remakes Twilight Zone style. TNG usually ends with an optimistic but lots of possibilities for the dake fate outcome too.
I mean, It's It like that space-faring lesson is entirely new. Kiryu's series made It very clear It was true many times l
This is such a good Data episode because the entire time you might think he's being nefarious, but then you realize he was trying to save everyone's life and obey the captain. Might not have emotions but almost shows pain at his own obstructive behavior and the logical conflicts going on in so many different ways the whole time. luv u data
I like data, because he has no conflict. Orders, goals, threats - it's a millisecond for him. The concept that "Man's fallability and indecision is somehow his virtue" is a fairy tale that we animals tell ourselves to sleep better at night :( That's what your kid tells himself to keep respecting you. Ahh, Data - ever the Good Son. His last name should be Isaacson.
@@kristjanpeil, I see where you went there. While Star Trek never had Data conform to all the laws, he conforms enough to make the story interesting. Considering I.A.'s popularity and Gene Roddenberry's apparent love of the genre, I would not be surprised in how as not at least partially inspired by I.A. in the creation of the lore around Data.
@Kristopher Chavez you seem to speak the right words, but it comes off as common defeatist bullshit. Demagogy like this is why still have grand evils in the world.
@@jayt9608 :) There's this story that Roddenberry told about the first screening of Star Trek's pilot episode: "it was starting, the lights were dimmed, the music was coming on, but there was a guy still chatting up the person next to him, so I had to shush him. Later it turned out to be Isaac Asimov." :D
@@kristjanpeil
That is funny. Just goes to show that the world is bigger and smaller than we imagine.
Out of context "That explains why our beards didn't grow." is hilarious.
But did their beans grow?
@@CSHummer they did
But it's not even correct, they did spend the day not in stasis.
Lmao
@@CSHummer Of course, they're magic beans
I love how without hesitation, Data tells the Captain that they must leave immediately, without explanation.
Do you want me to send you a jar of fart, only 6 dollars delivered.
Picard is a fool. He should always do what Data says.
Jason Michael why are you spamming this comment, it’s a stupid sentiment
@@jasonmichael3676 - No. He is the Captain!
Picard and Data had that kind of relationship/trust. In fact, at one point in this very episode Picard directly spells out that he could conceivably live with the missing time mystery, but he WILL NOT live with the mystery surrounding Data's behavior.
"Now, who gave you those beans?"
"You did, sir".
"I gave you my beans?"
"Yes, sir. And you ordered me not to fart."
The ship WAS attacked by a cloud of gas
I love the moment when Picard pauses in deep thought - and ALMOST comes to the right conclusion about what what has happened.
Stewart really sells those turning gears, here and in other episodes.
@@pangalactictuberThat is why he is rated a greater captain than Kirk, now in retrospect.
Trio: *Alien voice* “You have invaded our system.”
Worf: That’s all the excuse I need to start blastin’…
Troi: *Alien voice* “Your knowledge of us is unacceptable.”
Data: “They’re assholes, sir.”
"Trio"
lol
@@jockejocke1 autocorrect strikes again.
@@jockejocke1 🤣🤣
Heeee... "start blastin'" Another Sunny fan, I see.
Now picture Worf saying "I didn't know if those Paxan punks wanted my latinum, or somethin' more sexual."
“So anyway, I started blasting”
My absolute favorite part of this scene is when Capt. Picard comes to the assumption that the only way Data is able to ignore his orders is because a higher authority, like how Picard assumes Starfleet admirals or intelligence, gave orders above him. And yet for some reason, despite these orders he thinks is coming from Starfleet Command, Picard is still unwilling to let go until he's filled in on the conspiracy.
Wouldn't be the first time Starfleet was (at least from Picard's pov) full of crap. 😅
That would have been Data’s best out in this situation. Tell Picard, alone, that someone from Starfleet intel had contacted him and instructed him to prevent the Enterprise from going to that planet.
@@benjaminoechsli1941they were literally taken over by aliens once
@@barnabusdoyle4930 Not beng able to lie... He would only be able to insignuate... but then picard would def ask to confirm, then he finds he's been misleading
Picard needs a secret word for situations like this lol
How it should have gone:
"Now who gave you that order?"
"You did, sir."
"I did?"
"Yes, sir."
"I see. Helm, come about one-eighty mark zero, and go to Warp 9. Engage."
*The End*
i think data could have explained to picard and they could have left.
@No Limits the Paxans did not trust the Enterprise crew. They only made an exception for Data because he’s an android. They had no reason to trust Picard would never reveal their existence.
any number of scenarios would lead even Data to tell people, perhaps against his will as someone digs around in his memory files. Look, if you look close enough at most stories, things can start to fall apart - but who cares, so long as the overall story is good, nitpicking is stupid and just screams to the world "my penis is very small"/"my labia cannot be found by anyone, not even me!".
The issue at hand is not a matter of trust. The Paxan are hiding from the Borg. Any crewmember able to be assimilated could reveal their location to the collective. This includes Picard.
@@Viktor16161616 you mean locutus?
I like how he immediately tells Worf to do what Data says. He still trust Data, even if he still doesn't fully understand what's going on.
"I ordered you to lie?!"
then literally 2 seconds later:
"I order you to lie again"
For the commercial at the time. Also for people that joined the show during the commercial.
What I mean is, he spent the entire episode questioning Data, threatening him with court martial and disassembly, bullying his officer to tell him the truth and not trusting him with hiding anything. And after all that, he learned nothing from the experience, he gave him the same order again... And he was quick to surrender, it took him a heartbeat to say "wait we will wipe our memories again, the episode runtime is almost done lets wrap this up xD"
@@Joe-jc5ol This is what annoys Q, humanity's hubris.
They act all high and mighty, pretty much going and touching things they don't know anything about.
The only time they're humbled is when something bigger than them pushes them to.
This is why Q probably doesn't want them getting any stronger, because if nothing is there to humble them, they pretty much bully until they get their way, like they were doing to Data, and the Paxans if they weren't powerful enough.
"Stop here"
Picard: "I don't wanna!"
"Literally 2 seconds later".
Fail...
@@ValiantWrestlinglol
Deanna has a great, "I'm about to rip your face off" look.
Was thinking a bodysnatcher reference was going happen when she stepped in the room the first time, then eventually point at the crew and produce a paralyzing scream.
She sounds like Jaye Davidson here
And she walked in like a Dalmatian, or a Termite. No, Thermian.
Fun Fact! She actually rehearsed ripping someone's face off to practice that look.

Those Paxans are a paranoid lot. Their leader was beside himself with panic ...

This was truly one of the best, and most well thought-out single episode plots from TNG.
The viewer was left to follow the same "Clues" as the crew, while the whole time wondering "What's wrong with Data for him to be acting this way?"
Until the reveal at the end that explained everything, and showed the reason for the episode's title.
It was always one of my favorite episodes.
In my opinion one of the best episodes of TNG an Star Trek in general.
It's on par with the episode about Crusher in that pocket dimention
While I don't think I'd rank it as "one of the best", it is definitely extremely good!
I always sympathized with poor Data desperately trying to keep the crew safe from their own stubborn curiosity/ stupidity, while obeying the orders/ restrictions he was given.
It’s a great episode but there are some big plot holes
Definitely one of season 4's best episodes.
I prefer the one with Kevin Uxbridge but yeah this one is very good
"The Paxans? Who are they?"
Apparently, they're the 24th century's answer to the inhabitants of North Sentinel Island.
Not unless someone on the North Sentinel Island has tech the US military would find impossible to counter
There are many episodes in which Data saves the day because he is immune to so many things. It was a clever idea to turn that around: this time, he almost got everyone killed.
"Vacation" - the addictive video game
And then someone finds his "switch" and shuts him off.
To be honest TNG should have been renamed to Star Trek: Data saves the day…AGAIN
Patrick Stewart's acting at 1:05 is incredible.
Picard is trying to put the pieces together, and when he comes up with his theory of Starfleet ordering Data to lie, you can see and hear the flash of hopefulness. It's an explanation that would not only make sense, but exonerate Data and therefore he desperately wants it to be true.
Every time I see this episode, I expect Troi to say "Kirk Unit: disclose the information."
Or "You have heard of us" from when Col. O'Neill meats the Asgard in the SG-1 episode, The Fifth Race (similar sounding voice modulation.)
Edit: typo
Sounds like the Zetar Voice from the Original Series.
I do too it sounds so much like Ilia when v'ger talked thru her
???
Aha..Yes the look and tonality was identical to that first movie
Picard's INSTANT retrust of Data was great!
I LUV THE BEGINNINGS - where we hear Picard's voice saying, "Good Lord, didn't anybody here subscribe?"! I make videos, too, and I gotta tell ya - that was pretty clever!!!

@@charliechurch5004 Same. I was compelled under threat of no more Earl Grey Tea.
@@TJBUSMC1973 dude I love Earl gray it's my favorite tea also my children call me captain....lol
@@TJBUSMC1973 lol!! Had some this morning!!!!
Served with a man for over half a decade, not once did he ever lie or put himself above the crew. You would think Picard with implicitly trust him especially when he recommends that ship leave because it is in danger.
At the same time, he has been acting strangely this entire episode. It isn't that he doesn't trust data, it's that he does trust data, and is trying to understand why that trust is seemingly being broken.
He has been taken control of before though.
The reason given in the episode is that had they gone on their merry way, Data's insubordinate behavior would have no explanation and he would have to face the consequences of his actions. Also, at the end of the episode, there is a moment where Picard seems to realize something is amiss and decides to trust Data and ignore it.
LOL data once commandeered the enterprise and turned off life support. He is not above outside influence.
@@TheSpacecraftX by someone else more capable i imagine
I wish Star Trek: The Next Generation went into more detail on these energy based species like the Paxans. They’re so mysterious and advanced yet we don’t get to know much about them after that. Same thing with the Beta Renner energy cloud in “Lonely Among Us” and the Calamarain in “Deja Q”. I’ve always been fascinated with the energy based species for their mysteriousness and their complexity.
Indeed, only Voyager was known for the "Techno Babble" and at the time it wasn't received well by fans. But I totally agree with you, it would have been nice for them to explain those species further as I thoroughly liked those episodes.
@@fixitdad1955 I know, they’re some of my favorite episodes too
That lack of explanation is largely what makes them so mysterious and interesting.
@@amateurcrastinator9523 agreed! Nevertheless, I just am so curious about them
@@fixitdad1955 I disagree. The constant techno-babble, and inventing a new particle or field every other episode is why I quit watching TNG.

I forgot the voice modulation they put on Deanna. Deanna Troi of the Tok'ra, anyone?
Brent Spiner isnt given enough credit as an actor. This episode man, good stuff.
That crew really needed some kind of safeword. That SafeWord would let the rest of the crew know that this is another one of those fucked up situations, and that you should just trust me on this.
This was one of the best episodes of the series. When Picard was told he gave the order for Data to lie, the scene went to station break. Best gotcha moment I've seen on tv .
This is one of my favorites.The mystery of Data's strange behaviour and explanation was well done.It was literally a situation of one for all.
They masterfully built up the mystique.
Mirina Sirtis was horrified to discover that her voice was stuck like that after filming concluded 🤣
I have watched all of these episodes in order. ironically, your channel makes me want to rewatch them all, even the silly ones, all over again.
1:35
Marina Sirtis is all of 5'3" and 115 pounds. A strong breeze could knock her over. Yet that gaze is absolutely terrifying. I never realized how intimidating black contact lenses could be.
Well, in this episode she did break worf's wrist :P
Granted this was the era where a stiff breeze could also KO worf too.
just look at pictures of Lon Suder (the Maquis Betazoid from Voyager) - he looks downright creepy o.o
She was terrific, talented and dedicated actress when she was allowed to shine .... which, happened all too infrequently.
@@momokochama1844 Well he did transfer his soul into a doll.

Let's face it. Many situations in TNG could have been solved by 'Shoot first then question the fist sized chunks later'

1:45 I still remember watching this for the first time a a kid and being shocked by that revelation. Great episode.
I friggn love this episode! One of my favourites. This and the time loop one where 3 keeps coming up, and the one where the lady tries to convince that one planet she's the devil.
If you go back and watch the time loop episode when the 3's kept coming up you'll notice that they fixed every shot where you couldn't see Riker's rank insignia.

When Aardra tried to seduce Picard, I kept thinking, “No, Picard! Don’t cave in! Your eternal soul’s not worth it!”
This was indeed a ground breaking episode throwing in a new dimension, it is also one of my favorites.
Who knows how many similar encounters they had that maybe only Data remembers but is forced into silence...
I know this episode never made the top 10 list, but Im sorry, this is one of the most intense mystery episodes Ive ever seen. It is HIGHLY underrated, and I would absolutely put it on the top 10 list. At the very least, top 15. The twists and turns….is there something wrong with Data, the missing day…love it!
I just watched this episode over Thanksgiving and I'd forgotten what a good one it was. I've seen it many times, but I still enjoyed the hell out of it, again.
Troy doing her very best Go'auld voice!
Definitely one of the most memorable episodes. I miss writing like this, such good stories fit into single episodes.
Some of the GREATEST television I have ever seen!
This show felt so real as a 90s kid watching this when it came out...I thought deep space 9 was filmed in space somewhere lol I really did..I thought the aliens were real races because of how detailed it all was
The Goa'uld called... they want their deep voice back.
lol Data seemed so stressed.
Patrick Stewart is absolutely, unequivocally, the best Star Trek Captain EVER! His acting has always been top notch! And GOD do I love that Enterprise. The Mighty D is/was an amazing ship! My favorite Enterprise of them all.
"Don't you take that tone with me, you clanking, clattering calligious pile of spare parts!"
It's interesting that the Paxan said that Data was 'conscious', kind of answers the question if Data is a life form.
I want to agree, but it was also said they did not understand his positronic brain, so it could've been their best effort of describing him for the lack of better words.
But Data will always be alive in my heart.
He sounds like HAL 9000
"You will only harm Counselor Troi's body."
-Don't you dare, Worf!

I bet they secretly have the best beans in the universe and they are being selfish with them.
This was a great episode. A real mystery for the crew to solve.
Such good acting in this.. and such clear camera work on faces
damn, so brilliantly written. exposition has never been so interesting. kudos to p stew for makin this scene awesome
Well, time to re-watch the entire series again.
Picard acts like moron until close to the end. I mean, sure, for the first half of the episode it makes sense, but really - data says to leave immediately due to grave danger and Picard is like "nah, I need to know more than any of us need to live". The varied writers and actors got it right most of the time, but sometimes character do things that make you hmmm.
Most of the time, theres a mystery and the Starfleet thing to do is to figure it out. Ignoring the concerns of your tactical officer along the way is par for the course
Picard explicitly says earlier in the episode that it might be best to just let the mystery lie, but that Data will be screwed by Starfleet six ways from Sunday if they don’t figure out why he’s done what he’s done, and says they feel they owe it to Data to figure it out and get him off the hook. It might be fair to argue that shouldn’t have been Picard’s priority, but I don’t think it was Picard disbelieving Data or just trying to satisfy his own curiosity that compelled him to stay, he was trying his best not to leave Data hanging.
I really hate how, after "Measure of a Man" and Picard fighting for Data to have rights, he basically says Starfleet will take them all away at a whim and tear Data down to his wires to figure out what he was hiding... No, you fought to prevent them from doing that very thing.
@@ThatBillmanGuy True, but by that same token, Picard may understand better than anyone what Starfleet is capable of and might at least attempt to do. I don’t remember if this is before or after the episode with Data’s daughter, but if I were Picard, either of those, much less both, would make me very motivated to figure out why Data did what he did, even if I were fully planning to fight Starfleet tooth and nail to stop them from screwing him over…
The chipper piano at the end really does it for me
I remember when this episode first aired. I was totally floored when Data said "You did, sir."
The Paxans must have absolutely no luck against any ship that has even a semi-functional AI, since AI would also not be affected by any "biochemistry" hijinks. Guess they should wait for their planet to show up on Google and Apple Maps...
planet not real. recalculating route
Well, they do take over the ship, so they probably handle normal computers very well, its just positronic brains that are too different from what they sre used to
such an amazingly well written show. will we ever see anything this good again?
The true pinnacle of the Star Trek franchise. DS9 and Voyager could not fill the shoes of this show.
I like Picard's look to Riker at 2:30, and his tiny head shake that perfectly conveys "I have no idea what he's talking about either."
"I ordered you to lie?!"
"No, sir, you ordered me TO BOOGIE!"
of course then they have to explain how they lost 2 days from the ship's chronometer when they hook back up with starfleet.
Why 30 seconds? Data could have just told them they were out for 24 hours. Then Crushers would have never started the mystery.
This was one of the best tng episodes. A mystery wrapped in an enogma.
Its great.
THIS SHIP ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. .
goosebumps to this day.
ARGGGG this is such a good episode. Play more of it pweeese 😥
Now THIS is the sort of conundrum that Clarke's 2001 HAL scenario would generate.
Worf was ready to throw down at 2:44 lol. He was like WTF?! lol
Picard doesn't even need to look at Warf at this point to know to tell him to put the phaser away.
And even when everything indicates that Data is acting in their best interests, trying to protect them rather than sabotage them, Picard never even considers the 'perhaps we should just let this mystery slide for our own good' option.
He did...he says earlier that it might be best to just let it go, but Data would be completely screwed by Starfleet if they didn't figure out why he did what he did and that they owed it to him to try and get to the truth...
@@amipadme3985 True. However, I was just speaking about what we see in this fragment. At the point Picard replies 'this ship isn't going anywhere, not until I get an answer' to Data's 'we must leave, Sir' it is already shown they trust him implicitly, as they follow up all his _other_ suggestions he gives at that point.
So, at that point Picard essentially could have said 'I trust you are acting for the good of this crew, and I will put this in my report to Starfleet should they ever want to investigate this incident, even though we will never get to the bottom of this. Helm, warp out of this system, warp 9'. I doubt Starfleet would go against Picard's explicit recommendation.
@@RH-ro3sg having worked for a large corporation, I'm a little less optimistic. The Enterprise is the flagship, and has some of the best crew in the fleet. Desk jockeys at starfleet, however, might be less satisfied with the "we don't know what happened, Data knows something but won't tell us" a little less constructively.
@@tungsten8290 Agreed, Picard tells Data that Starfleet will strip him down to his wiring to get some answers, I don’t think he was willing to put Data at risk (not just his career at risk, but potentially his personal freedom and safety) for what was, from his POV, an ill-defined threat.

Right, she just needs the glowing eyes

Sometimes the cliffs notes are enough to relive the episode and break the dam and let the feels loose.
Grateful that the TNG era exists. Mostly because JJ tried to have it vaulted so it wouldn't compete with his brand of Trek.
No need for guilt, the show is long since concluded and out of production. So nobody loses like if you'd done so with a current show. And this saves on time and summarizes the plot well enough to enjoy.
@02:34 - Picard: "The Paxans... ...who are they?"
@02:37 - Data turns, facing Troi: "You're up, kiddo."
1:01 Right there he ~almost~ had it. He should've turned around and gotten the hell out of there.
Trois transitioning is going well in this episode (lol)
I just keep imagining the aliens being the Paxson brothers (NBA).
Data spends a lot of time in his quarters eating Delicious Beans, making him impervious to Paxan neural manipulation.
