    So in the end, Picard was repeatedly forcibly kissed by a male alien.

      These aliens probably don't have any concept of gender either.

      It's ALIEN and you are worried about GENDER? 😅

      The idea though is that they committed sexual assault as a social experiment

    The Picard jacket uniform was something they made for Patrick Stewart because he had shoulder surgery or something and the regular uniform was uncomfortable for him.

    Every day we grow closer to my favorite Dr.Beverly episode. Best episode in the entire series.
    Enjoy it like a 99 cent gas station wine.

      Yes, I think I know the one. It's a blast, that's for sure, but Masks is a very strong second !

      That episode may just break a ratings record. No other episode can hold a… candle to it.

    Picard, when a gorgeous, lonely woman with a crazed glint in her eyes asks “Do you love me?” five minutes after meeting her, you say “YES, DARLING! NOW AND FOREVER!” 🤣 Seriously though, when Picard figured out the door was locked and Anna was lying to him, I thought this episode was about to turn into the film Misery.

    The dress uniforms are ridiculous. They just look like an untucked shirt.

    • @Shelsight
      @Shelsight Před rokem +1

      Agree. Given the mega-budgets they had by the last season, and knowing that most military dress uniforms are of seriously good grade material (they are Dinner Jacket/Tux/Morning Suit/Ceremonial equivalents) that was bad by the costume dept. Looked like they were bought off Amazon at Halloween.

    There are very few TNG episodes so forgettable that I literally forget them ... This is one of them, and I look forward to forgetting it after I write the end of this sentence.

    There's something about these new alien interaction episodes that I typically don't mind, but agree with all your points. The episode was not great. It felt exactly like a Season 1 episode.

  • @ronin7997
    @ronin7997 Před rokem +2

    Even the shuttlecraft crash was an obvious plot contrivance. The Enterprise could have traveled to the Iyaraan homeworld much faster than a shuttlecraft; I knew the writers were going to stage a crash to advance the terrible subplot.

    I'm pretty sure I've never seen this one aside from when it first aired. I didn't even remember the crazy lady wasnt human.

  • @CaminoAir
    @CaminoAir Před 7 měsíci

    This episodes appears to be drawing on two TOS stories. 'By Any Other Name' and 'All Our Yesterdays'. The first involves the Enterprise being taken over by aliens, with Kirk & crew deliberately exposing them to human emotions like anger, love, jealousy and indulgence in food/drink. The second involves a woman stranded in the past who lies to Spock and Bones about their not being able to return to the present. Season 7 is when the writers ran out of ideas.

    • @TessaBain
      @TessaBain Před 5 měsíci

      It's not so much running out of ideas as being forced to not have certain ideas because they were stupidly saving them for movies.

      I bet she'll turn out to be a Romulan spy...

  • @dycedargselderbrother5353

    I remember watching this the first time and wondering when the hell Picard was going to bring up the necklace. It was such a gaudy prop that invited attention, not subtle at all, and the cinematography shoved it in your face. The reveal was worse than my imagination. I thought she might have been a black widow type character who collected mementos from her temporary lovers. Maybe the reveal would be a pit of skeletons of other unfortunate space travelers who "didn't really love her". The shapeshifting thing was boring as hell.

  • @Doomclown

    I don't remember this episode, I thought you were going to give it at least a B based on the video but I guess your editing was just a lot better than theirs.

  • @AliceBowie

  • @Greatermaxim
    @Greatermaxim Před rokem +1

    I give it two grades. An A for being a laid back episode. A C- for a lack of creativity. I liked it more when it first aired. The episode does not age too well.

    Yea... this was pretty bad. The actors did the best they could with a sloppy script.

    Season 7 is when the show started to get bad again, just like the fish returning to where it was hatched to die.

  • @chrisbullard5901
    @chrisbullard5901 Před rokem

    The only good interaction in this whole episode is the antagonist ambassador with Worf. Make a whole episode of that!

  • @shawnfisher7434
    @shawnfisher7434 Před rokem +1

    I don't think it's any coincidence that they put their weaker scripts after the two-part season opener/closer. This time, I'm in unison with Robert and Nick. This episode, while not the worst on the season, was completely forgettable, uninspired crap. I don't even know how I would fix it, it's just such an awful premise, exploring emotions you don't have, it's like asking 'why don't you describe what the colour infrared looks like?' If you are incapable of the emotion, being put in the same situation won't cause it.
    These antagonist/aliens are kind of like the aliens from The Royale; reading a book about a seedy casino and deciding that is what human life was about. The stuff with Worf, I think, was supposed to be comedic but it doesn't work, Troi's story is light too, but then you have Picard in danger from an alien inspired by the psycho in Misery by Stephen King. It was a riff on Misery that falls flat due to, as they described in the video, the tonal shifts of the episode. Just such auto-pilot writing, which becomes a mainstay of S7.
    Grade: D-

    Alien dude turns into a crossdresser to make out with Picard. Should have fired the ambassador out of the torpedoe tube.
