I love how Worf essentially had the balls to WALK up to a thrown grenade and put the pin back in.
IKR! I would’ve ran down the nearest corridor lol. Would’ve had to do repairs later but a guarantee of no lives lost at least!
At least he already spread his seed and had a son though, to carry on his legacy if it didn’t work.
Only a peta'q would not have. Klingons are very honor-based. Running from Battle is cowardly.
@@GattToDaChoppa That is not really a "Battle" it was a booby trap (hehe boobies) Was what Worf did brave? yes, but had it gone off and he had died, it would have gone from being brave to being stupid and costing him his life when all they would have had to do was close the turbo lift doors and set up a containment field around the turbo lift.
"Discretion is the better part of Valor"
Well, if a phaser overload is very destructive, it would be be valorous.
Riker: "He's in Engineering."
Worf: "Acknowledged. We'll be there in an hour."
we will just casually walk there.
it's like that scene in _Revenge of the Sith_ when Mace Windu says "we must move quickly if the Jedi order is to survive." and then continues to slowly walk towards the transport ship
Riker didn't figure it out when geordi didn't answer... not till the panel was accessed.
Riker: "He's in Engineering."
*Cuts to Wolf drinking prune juice in Ten Forward.* "Acknowledged commander, on the way."
Picard: "He's heading for the shuttle bay!"
*Cuts to Worf painting a majestic landscape in his quarters.* "Understood, sir."
Geordi: "The warp core's about to blow!"
*Cuts to Worf asleep in bed.*
Him and his dance partner were strutting their way to an emergency
Danar breaks into slow jog
Geordi: "I've never seen anyone move that fast"
considering how slow worf is moving, slow jog is warp speed by comparison.
well Geordi? umm.. " How many people have you seen moving seeing as your blind? " * - *
Geordi: "I tried to shut down the blast door to the Warp core and then do a tumble-roll under it, but Danar came in from the other direction!"
"You move like they do. I've never seen anyone move that fast."
Danar was pacing himself. You can't run full speed everywhere, you wouldn't have enough energy to do what you needed when you get there.
The mark of good security is looking at the wall rather than down the corridor you’re posted in and keeping your hands behind your back at all times. Pro level stuff.
"Someone is escaped and literally on the floor I'm on, I'll just stand here like I won't immediately need to defend myself!"
Good security in the 25th century includes not having sophisticated surveillance but not informing security that they're about to be bopped.
Looking at a wall is the last thing the enemy will expect.
They ordered that guard to watch the force field, and he took his job literally.
LOL, good point.
They said comb the desert so we combed the desert!
Yeah, but I know I would, too. In fact, I'd probably be throwing things into it like an unattended wood chipper!
He was constantly looking that way because he knows Roga is smart enough to disable that forcefield and come from a direction he wouldn't expect... smart, but not smart enough.
@@justinrowe7869 We ain't found sh....!
"Worf, he's in Engineering."
"On our way, and apparently we're not in any hurry."
Need to give that Theme music time to play through. (Shaft)
A Klingon slow walks to battle to savor the feel of imminent danger
LOL Exactly what I thought... Worf could at least power walk!
Indeed...
Indeed
Riker: "Worf! He's in engineering!"
Worf: "We're on our way!" *as he calmly and casually moves through the ship, making sure to admire the fine detail of the bulkheads and his surroundings. An enemy is moving fast to take over the ship, who knows how long Mr. Worf has to realize such fine workmanship before he never gets to see it again*
The life of the proud klingon is short. Any small thing is as admirable as it is potentially deadly. Like idk a nuclear waste container.
2:00
"drop force field on deck 46"
"Aye aye, random person!"
Pretty sure that was Deck 36(where Engineering is located). There are a total of 42 decks on the Enterprise D.
He took the ensign's hand and tapped the ensign's comm badge with it. Apparently that fools the computer and "other person"
@@kurtreber9813 I mean shit even Siri isn't fooled this easily ... they should have had it a female guard, with her talking, and make it like he can imitate any voice (I say female because it becomes more obvious its an imitation)
Definitely not requiring a touch identity verification or anything. These are ochre shirts, not security.
Reminder that this was the end of the 80s.
We've had ideas since this episode aired that hadn't been thought of at the time.
Kurt Reber has what seems to be the most sensible answer given what was known when they wrote the episode.
Gotta love how Worf disarmed the phaser like he was sending a text.
Worf: "JFC This opponent is formidable"
Riker: "OMG, don't let him get the upper-hand, WTF"
Troi: "LOL I sense he's extremely pissed-off"
@@greecoboost
How bout KFC 4 KahlessFuckingChrist?
I think it's funny how he totally ran past the first injured dude to Geordie
2:03 You can see Okuda's influence on the script right here. Danar uses the crewman's hand to tap the combadge because they're bio-encoded. It's something that, to my recollection, never made it into the script in the whole series, let alone this episode, but was in the technical manual for the show writers that one day was refined into the _Star Trek: The Next Generation: Technical Manual._ A wonderful little detail that showed the inner-workings of the universe without being put there for the characters to later notice and explain for the audience.
That's a very cool detail. :)
Danar is attempting to override communication with two cans and a piece of string.
Riker: How's he doing it?
Picard: He's cunning number 1.
Reminds me of the Link from Babylon 5.
Yeah, agree. Details make this run smoothly.
This is basically doing a DNA-Check when one uses it and compares it with the Database connected to.
That Way one can use anothers Communicator and yet get recognized as "Rikers Comm" even though he could have picked it from another Crewmember and vice Versa.
If you are not in the Database, Access is restricted.
That is why some Doors open when Officers come but not when Crewmember walk past them - that and an AI that is good at predicting pathways.
Break that Pattern, that Parthways, by erratic Actions that make no sense, you confuse the ones trying to predict your Actions.
Like, the Phasor: Why placing it there before passing that Guard? Why not just do as he does later in the first place and "keep silent"? Because of that Reason.
Good writers tell you details. Great writers hint at it.
If Star Trek has taught me anything it’s that a single or at most just a handful of determined individuals can get the jump on the Federation’s flagship just by running fast and opening the right doors. Bonus stealth points if you start off in the sick bay. If you’re a rogue or villain, just treat the Enterprise like a beginner-level dungeon crawler.*
*Edit: There have been a number of responses of late to this 2 year old comment regarding the fact that yadda yadda “super soldier” yadda yadda. No one cares. My point has been confirmed by the many hilarious comments below listing the crazy number of times the Enterprise has been hijacked in ridiculous ways.
Those are important real-life skills, not !!
This needs to be a video game.
@@menacelurkingyet8345 They are *vital* real life skills for pranksters, thieves, special forces, and children with siblings who snitch. Out-thinking authority and moving faster than they can logically respond is even useful for managers or team leads with projects rejected by middle managers: they commonplace skills.
The enterprise was only taken over like what, five times? Six?
@@joshm3484 I think Odo has the exact count.
Guess they hadn't invented CCTV yet in the 23rd century. Would have come in handy tracking his movements with video.
This supersoldier guy and Species 8472 somehow mask themselves, they can't be detected by internal sensors.
Because apparently Starfleet doesn't use internal sensors which can see and hear the same things a human can.
Facebook knows where YOU are every second of every day and night. On an entire planet.
Was just thinking the same thing. You'd think that when 'intruder alert' was sounded cameras would be beamed/replicated along all the ship's corridors and major rooms....
@@danguenther8124 uh nope they don't keep replicators in the hallways
@@LordTalax Exactly my point. They SHOULD. Then they could bring in CCTV, automated defenses, whatever else. You'd think by the 24th century someone would have thought of it.
to answer Riker's question, he stole some dope's walkie-talkie and spoke into it without disguising his voice or offering clearance of any kind. He is too cunning for words.
He activated it with the guards hand.
@@ThePlaceholeThat is some crap security. This is supposed to be the 24th century?
@@wellesradio How else would the bad guy escape? It's the old "Insecurity System" trope.
No wonder the Borg didn't manage to assimilate humanity. They were to inefficient, because they already had assimilated some.
@@ThePlacehole
Granted... however, it still doesn't follow that he could operate phasers, system controls or open isolinear chip wall panels if they have that kind of security.
"Ensign, guard this force field."
"Yes, sir. How shall I do that?"
"By staring directly at this wall, and not to either side where it might actually matter, especially the side WITHOUT the force field."
"Aye, sir."
"The threat is armed and dangerous, make sure to keep your weapon holstered and keep your hands behind your back at all times."
Brilliant security.
@@Ackalan Also, we won't bother to notify you when the man in question is using a turbo lift that's less than 10 feet from your location. You don't need to know that information.
"The force field is also deactivated by voice command without verification if its actually you and we have you here alone even though working in pairs would make much more sense and be more secure."
why don't they just have him stand between two different force fields?
@Taramafor Haikido There is also the notion that TNG was during a long period of almost only peace and the security is more of a rather relaxed police force than military soldiers.
It doesn't excuse that level of incompetence but it explains a lot about why their security is so lackluster. Also why the Federation was so utterly shellshocked when the Dominion as an actual threat appeared
You can overload a hand held phaser by shorting out the A and B contacts with the aluminum foil wrapper from a stick of gum.
- Vulcan Boy Scouts
More like Detroit..
@2:49 Worf: "We're on our way". Casually walks toward bridge adhering to strict Starfleet rules of no running in the halls.
it's like that scene in _Revenge of the Sith_ when Mace Windu says "we must move quickly if the Jedi order is to survive." and then continues to slowly walk towards the transport ship
Goldshirt: "Oh no the overload is going to kill me"
Worf: "I don't get paid enough for this. There, sorted."
I could run away but then I would be a coward so I'm going to watch and cringe uselessly just around the corner.
"Sir, this is starfleet no one gets paid anything."
The security guy has to be the most unobservant guard EVER. Let me just keep staring in one direction only...
He grew up guarding a crypt in Skyrim
Staring in the one direction where there's a forcefield covering him, too.
Especially during general quarters with an intruder loose smh. But when I was a teen loved this episode.
They hired a bunch of us soldiers for a movie, they said everyone look this way and stand around the item. As the NCO I said, this is a stupid way to guard anything and offered to arrange the extras. The director glared at me for having the presumption to question him. Hollywood has no qualms about making other professions look bad or dumb.
@@ultmast And Phaser Holstered and Hands behind his back, while there is an imminent threat. LOL.
This guy is the master of misdirection. The crew keeps falling for it. To be fair, they haven't dealt with anything like this before.
Who knew Fonzie was so cunning, eh? Aaaaaayyyyy!
@The Program Or, they could just use the 24th century version of a video camera. If a person can see him, so can a camera.
The shuttle bay moment and the feeling of triumph was so cringy. How exactly would leaving in a shuttle help him escape from the Enterprise?
@The Program Honestly? Their principles, ingrained in them for decades by that point, blocked out any "dirty" tactics.
even in realizing that he was expert-level in misdirection .... the problem was figuring out HOW he was going to achieve his endgame when they had ZERO means of tracking him electronically. like the original comment said ... his skill level was beyond what most of them had dealt with, because he was engineered (essentially) that way.
The gag reel for this episode is pure comedy gold.
I’ll have to look it up 🤣
I love it how anyone off the street can use all the systems and take control of the ship .. Starfleet needs to stop publishing the service manuals on the galactic internet
This is the problem with standardisation.
Once you have something that works, and everyone else uses it, everyone knows how to break it.
You would think they would have learned after Kahn. They literally gave him the manuals to the ship.
This guy was so badass beyond belief. I would have loved to see him again in the show.
If only they had the technology to transport people wherever they wanted instead of them having to walk everywhere.
"O'brien, transport the intruder 500 meters off the starboard bow."
They tried that earlier in the episode, and he *fought* it! He was able to prevent being transported by sheer will!
@@neophobicnyctophile8264 I'm not sure, if it was his will, but rather his constant movement. To be grasped by a transporter beam you have to stand still or otherwise it could be leathal. I think, Starfleet Transporters has some security protocols to abort the transport if the object or person moves to much
@@Anthyrion I don't think so. On many occasions, people have been transported when moving. Like ship to ship, or when running, falling, etc.
@@theTommyProject Right. But i still don't think it was an act of willpower. I think, a transporter don't know and care about how much willpower a person has. If it had locked on a transporter beam, you will be transported :)
Poor Geordi, he really sounds like he's over-compensating for a bruised ego. It's not like starfleet engineers are known for their expertise in hand-to-hand combat. "Guy came out of NOWHERE"! I bet he just sauntered up to him and open-palmed slapped him.
Old O'Brien AKA "O'Brien must suffer" would beg to differ.
Well, anyone who's watched all 7 seasons knows that Geordi is absolutely, definitely, 110% *always* overcompensating for a bruised ego. And the ladies can tell. And it ain't a turn on, it's actually insanely awkward, desperate, and difficult to watch. Particularly when he's crushing on married women he's had holodeck sex with.
@@lhommeaudacieux don’t forget Montgomery Scott. The guy could go toe to toe with Klingons in his day.
I just want to know how he managed to find his visor as it was previously on the floor a few feet away.
The engineers being beaten up by a jock? It's just like the Academy.
There are apparently a total of 12 security officers on the entire ship...
You are not wrong. Security personnel are not a high priority position on TNG era Starfleet Ships as they are not thought to be needed most of the time. Starfleet is EXTREMELY reliant on thier Technology to keep them safe. So you end up with one or two Dozen Security officers trying to secure a ship the size of the City of Las Angeles California by themselves. Its insane. :/
I remember in TOS every time they would call Red Alert a Redshirt stands on the bridge right next to the turbolift.
@@grayeaglej LOS
@@jadapinkett1656 LOS? O.o
and 4 are in training.
Geordi has a point. Once you leave Starfleet Security on their own, they suck so hard
On my ship, us engineers had a very low opinion (rightly deserved) of security department as well. As a matter of fact, we weren't allowed to play with them on repel boarders training scenarios, because we kept beating them so badly and they cried about it loudly to the command.
@@tspencer227 Well, I do believe that engineers will try at all means to keep the ships system online and working. I mean if it is like a pirate attack and they will try to take controll of the engine room, then the engineers will beat or make sure the pirates dont have control of it
@@tspencer227 well I don't know what type of ship you were on, or who the people in your "security department" were, but nobody ever got on board my ship without a fully armed team waiting for them wherever they tried to board.
@@jeffburnham6611 I was a nuke on aircraft carriers. And I was referring to the security drills played amongst the ship's company, especially when it came to the reactor and engineering spaces.
@@jeffburnham6611 i like your approach to security
Everyone "Uh no its gonna explode"
Worf: Today is a good day to die
Everyone: It's never a good day to die !
Today is NOT a good day to die! Thursday would be better because there is a PTA meeting that I find boring as hell and I don't have time to bother with Alexander.
Worf could probably tell by the sound that it was not going to explode for at least another 40 seconds more than enough time to disarm it.
@@ThomasPlatt1975 being a weapons officer and Chief of security / Klingon Warrior he knew but it's still funny to think he's a Starfleet officer with Klingon blood
@@PuppetierMaster yea i do remember in movies and t.v. series they bring up the peace treaties between klingons, but they never show that side.
Its always a few butthurt klingons that almost destroy everything. Worf is awesome though. I mean i would just hide behind a wall and repair the elevator later lol. I would probably be on the floor unconscious too, but anyway... 😀
2:17 Couldn't they just beam Data to Engineering the moment they realized the guy was headed there? Data could EASILY take him down in a hand-to-hand confrontation!
That l was thinking he would not stand a chance against Data.
Considering how effective Data is at everything, they should have him run the entire ship.
He easily outclasses every other officer in every other area.
@@wjzav1971 Hasn't he in fact, ran the ship all by himself on multiple occasions.
@@wjzav1971 Yeah don't get me wrong, I still love this show and consider it one of the greatest series of all time (possibly THE greatest)...but I find myself asking "Why don't they just send Data to handle that?" quite frequently. His only weakness was a lack of human intuition/gut instinct.
@@spacebound1969 he has also single handedly taken control of the ship and used the ships systems to facilitate his escape while it took the rest of the control hours to regain control back after he had already left.
"Worf! He's in Egnineering!"
"Okay. I'm casually strolling that way....."
AHAHAHA, right?!
It's as if he's going around a public pool with a lifeguard yelling...NO RUNNING and blowing his wistle!!
LaForge: "Want my advice? DOUBLE IT!"
Worf: "My men are NOT Engineers".
Engineers: We were talking to the bartender
Always found it so confusing that security and engineering wear the same colors.
Like, why??? Why wouldn't you want to tell the difference between the specialist who fixes things and the one who is trained in combat?
@@wjzav1971 One gets shot at, and the others tend to work right next to reactors. There is a logic here.
" Want my Advice? . . Give him the Shuttle! "
"Computer, override safety protocols. Use replicators to synthesize anaesthetic gas. Flood all corridors and Jeffries tubes. Alert sickbay to prepare antidote in case of overdoses."
Or just drop cabin pressure
they don't have to do that as all Star Fleet vessels already has security protocols (anti-intruder systems) that allow the life support system to flood the ship with anestezine or neurozine gas, as shown in the episode on the Prometheus.
Or turn gravity up to 10G.
@@waveman0 which episode was this? I wanna watch again
@@NoJusticeNoPeace didn't they do that in enterprise, increase gravity on the deck plating or something?
Worf fearlessly picks up a phaser on overload. Such a badass
I loved this episode when I was kid and I still do. That dude was almost unstoppable and a real badass.
I love how it never occurred to anyone to make it a bit more complex to drop a force field than just simply requesting it be done. The genuine shock from Riker was hilarious
I realize the writers had no idea how a modern technology-driven ship would need to be protected, but it's hilariously bad sometimes how bad security was.
"How the hell did he manage that!?"
He literally just tapped a communicator, didn't say who he was, which specific forcefield, just asked someone to drop the forcefield.
He tapped it with the crewman's own hand.
@@LeeKeels Still no code or verification required. Not even voice recognition.
When Data took over the Enterprise, he at least had to mimic Picards voice and recite his personal code.
That an enemy soldier can use the hand of a taken down soldier should be obvious. Any form of further verification would go a long way and should be possible in the 24th century.
And Riker looks like a buffoon when he is baffled by how he deactivated the force field. The scene is meant to show how badass [whatever his name is] was, but it only demonstrated how fucking incompetent Star Fleet security is.
And the field went down almost immediately.
@@wjzav1971 So true... but if everything made sense... there would be no show... all for entertainment purposes.
What stardate does 2FA get invented?
Seems more than a little improbable that this guy would have the ability to reconfigure completely alien technology without ever having seen it before.
My thought exactly, I could somehow buy he could overload the phaser, their own weapons are energy based as well, but opening an alien ship and start fiddling with the power system, yeah not so much.
"Riker to Worf: Somebody is about to blow up the warp core, so how about a little hustle?"
This episode is still in my top 10, and the "villain" is still near the very top of my list of favorite one-off guest characters. I loved his interactions with Data especially.
It's their version of Rambo.
Its good that instead of mustering everyone to patrol every corridor, every deck, theyre all sent away so he walks down completely unguarded and abandoned hallways.
To be fair the Galaxy class ships are so freaking huge that the ENTIRE crew is barely one One-HUNDREDTH of the Ship's capacity and the Security teams are a fraction of that.
Its like asking a few DOZEN people to secure the Entire City of Las Angeles to find One Man.
@@grayeaglej Exactly right. The ship is so huge it would be perfectly normal to walk miles of corridors in areas away from main hubs and never see another human. The Galaxy Class as far as size goes is small city.
@@satinbarbi Many Sci-fi series have this "population" problem. Like a "city planet" that only holds a few billion people but everyone is crammed in tiny apartments, but if the ENTIRE PLANET is a City and the population is only a few billion then every single person should have an entire massive Skyscraper all to themselves with Miles of empty city around them. O.o
Crew Quarters on the Enterprise should be the size of WAREHOUSES.
Or just make the crew compliment One Hundred Thousand instead of a Thousand. O.o
@@grayeaglej Maybe they need large size for engines, weapons and storage? But in reality, yes I agree with you!
@@misfit1978 Don't forget the dolphin labs
Star Trek has a real problem with securing the most vital areas of the ship: Engineering, the Bridge, the brig. At least make it look like you're capable of stopping a prisoner. And heaven forbid the Federation be as inhumane as to cuff and shackle their prisoners behind actual bars, so they're still stuck when the power goes out! Script writers need to be slapped.
Like on Enterprise where the brig had an actual physical barrier that didn't require energy to contain a prisoner.
Why not have physical physical bulk heads to immediately close of the vital sections of a ship, force fields everywhere that can't be deactivated by some mook's communicator and transporter dampening fields as soon as the ship goes on intruder alert.
@@wjzav1971 My only guess is space, material usage, and "what happens when they manage to blast a hole through it?"
Aka, someone thought "forcefields are better and if ship power is a problem, they're screwed anyway
@@InfernosReaper Given the rampant use of the replicator (which honestly, seriously breaks the universe the more I think about it), I can't imagine material usage is an issue.
And given how often ship power is a problem, this is the difference between almost-disaster and complete disaster.
Also, when a hole is blasted through a bulk-head, THEN activate the force field? A little bit redundancy would go a long way.
@@wjzav1971 replicators do take energy, likely more energy than just doing stuff naturally in the case of many things.
Some materials can't effectively be replicated likely as a result of that.
I'm just having trouble understanding how someone can instantly learn all of the internal systems of a ship he has no knowledge of.
He's adaptive. He also probably sees similarities in the Enterprise systems as the places he fought in during wars.
@@Kazuo1G I don't think so...you can't adapt your way into manipulating a system you've never seen before better than an android trained on it. And we have differences just among nations here in technology, it's going to be massively different between a federation starship and a planet that hasn't even joined yet. It's a plot hole.
@@timothythomad5529 As they said in one of the asteroid movies, "American systems, Russian systems... all made in Japan."
A ship is a ship. I can probably drive just about any vehicle on the planet just because of the basic, elemental similarities of all vehicles.
Timothy Thomad it's similar design but he most likely he studied the engineering room for the layout and some of the computer stuff. And goods are standardized in StarTrek so he probably recognized the box for the suit. He's also got a photographic memory. It all could make sense if he already understood some of the ships layout.
This was one of my favorites. He's like the Captain America of Star Trek. When Worf figured his strategy, I would have just hit him on maximum stun.
2:49 I love how Worf is just walking without any urgency.
Yet he is the only only one that made contact.
Still got his @$$ beat.
@@Marinealver Why Michael Dorn doesn't run: czcams.com/video/iUrUTiPzILY/video.html
One of the more unbelievable episodes.
Enhanced or not, there is no way he is going to know how Enterprise systems work or how to override them. He wouldn't make it off the ship.
He was biologically engineered to adapt to any environment
Adding to the unbelievability. Environmental adaptations don't adapt to technology.
It's a sci-fi trope and Trek isn't immune. How many hundreds of times have we seen species get onto a different species ship and just automatically know how to use their computer interfaces or shut down their main propulsion in a matter of seconds.
The reality is that gong onto a different ship would be like entering a magical world (Asimov). The tech would be so foreign that you might as well be trying to collect call God. Cheers
@@Ididntaskforahandleyoutube the same thing in any sci-fi where the main characters (ordinary people from our time) board an alien ship and figure out how to fly it, so annoying.
If you can't make it make sense then don't put it in the movie "Oh but the plot has to happen"==Bad Plot
Also, his species is trying to join the Federation, which implies they possess warp-capabilities. Further, he fought against another planet, so this may not be the first time he’s encountered alien technology.
I love how Worf always walks during an emergency.
"Captain, someone in engineering is attempting to fuck us up" gee, I wonder who that might be?
"Acknowledged Commander, we're on our way." >Continues to amble leisurely
You would have thought that Worf would have demonstrated more urgency when he was informed that Danar was in engineering. Maybe a slow jog perhaps.... 😆

Daynar is extremely adept, yet his jumpsuit Has no fly, so he’s caught when it takes him 30 minutes to use the restroom…Also known as “women’s revenge”
This is Stat Trek,
Nobody ever has to 💩
Or its just a jumpsuit sized nappy...
Is this the only time Worf calls La Forge by his first name?
Now I have to check...!
No, it's happened at least once before. I was watching some yesterday, couldn't tell you the ep name but it's there, I remember it standing out when I heard it.
Why are Starfleet Security personnel so inattentive. Really , he just let someone run at him like that . Also , he should have been on the other side of the force field .
It was what he was paid to do.
Well when anyone can just ask for a forcefield to be dropped, even without specifying which forcefield on that deck, why try......
It's a government job.
Maybe they are trained to be useless so the ship's officers can grab the glory. Honestly, part of the bizarro world of Starfleet is how their enlisted and NCO ranks seem to do so little and their officers do so much, which is contrary to nearly every historical navy where even if the officers have great technical knowledge, enlisted personnel execute nearly all orders and the officers are rarely directly involved.
Worf walks into Engineering... glances at down man on the control panel without a second thought... "Geordi!" lol
When you think of super solders you don't normally think of them having enhance metal capabilities as well, pretty cool concept
"You want my advice? DOUBLE IT!"
imo that to him would just be more targets to take out,then just get a shuttle going and blast the doors open and fly out.
The problem with creating "super-soldiers" is you've created "super-soldiers".
The God Emperor of Mankind can confirm this. Am I right Horus?
After watching this episode, I have to wonder if one even really needs to be a super soldier to outsmart Starfleet Security personnel.
I love when they sound general quarters. Always so suspenseful!!!!!
Geordie's visor magically reappearing on his face.
I believe he simply reached for it before doing anything else. I would.
The continuity in this sequence is BRUTAL.
Daynar strolls the corridor and enters a turbolift on DECK 12 according to all the door signs
Data then cites unauthorized turbolift access on DECK 34… The turbolift is apparently rerouted to a location near Worf who is somehow also on DECK 12 and disarms the phaser. Meanwhile Daynar remains on DECK 12 and knocks the guard out. He taps the communicator and says “drop forcefield on DECK 36” and the DECK12 forcefield drops.
He somehow makes it to main engineering (deck 36) and is then seen climbing DOWN a ladder into the Jeffries Tube, yet is cited to have climbed UP to deck 30.
I can forgive the odd miss but someone was on coffee break too long during this episode.
Maybe Daynar swapped the door signs when you weren't looking..
Daynar performed so many indirections he actually confused the writers of the show.
“Unauthorized access of Turbolift 5 on deck 34.”
Door clearly marked “12 Turbolift”.
😊
A fun episode.
Worf: "Geordi!"
Also Worf: *just hauls injured and probably concussed crewmember to his feet and pushes him to panel without mentioning his name or asking him how he is or checking if he's broken a leg or something.*
Well you see, THAT wasn't Geordi, so who cares?
Concussed crewmember then hits the wrong button, causes a warp core breach, and blows up the Enterprise while taking out part of the planet at the same time!
Riker:"How the hell did he manage that ?"
Picard:"I can tell you. I saw his act in Vegas, last week, absolutely fabulous. He's very good."
4:15 Can anyone imagine a paramedic moving an injured person they just came upon in this way???
Klingon first responders leave no survivors.
The crew is to reliant on tech and has no clue on gorilla warfare or single man tactics. They are also assuming their opponent is just “one man” so he can’t do much, but he is a needle in a haystack without their sensors.
"Gorilla" warfare topkek
@@Hahnfruh Roga Danar is trained in gorilla warfare and has over 300 confirmed kills. You're nothing to him but just another target.
Yeah this would never have happened in DS9
Guerilla... not Gorilla. One is a type of warfare, the other is an ape, lol. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare
@@loumartin8851 But what about gorilla gurillas? Never underestimate when mrs. Goodall has had enough of your crap and give the apes a bunch of AK's and grenades. ;)
Worf's security team reminds me of the police in Demolition Man, completely useless. I mean you have one guy get jumped in a hallway cause he was staring at the wall, then you have Worf knowing people are in trouble in Engineering and just takes a casual walk, not even a light jog. Truly the funniest thing to watch.
This guy (Danar) is like Jason Bourne on a star ship.
...or, a 24th Century "Rambo".
How the hell did he manage that?
Try to understand.
He's a magic man.
He's got magic hands.
1:59 I really like how he just stands there and takes it like a man
I love how warf just walks to engineering like it's no big emergency.
This is why Boimler named him all time biggest baddass in trek
"You want my advice!? DOUBLE IT!" Somehow that - among other remarks by Geordi - was unsurprising to me, considering how Danar "came out of nowhere [and] didn't think anyone could move that fast!"
Engineers only like problems SOME of the time.
"He's in Engineering."
"We're sauntering down there now."
The music is so much better here than in the later seasons; it adds so much tension.
Security standing like he's guarding a celebrity's door and not on alert and looking around, he deserved to be knocked out. Plus that was a quiet long curved hallway. How did he not notice someone approaching him?
Do not underestimate the power of Kirk-Fu.
TOS Enterprise had the capability to pump knockout gas anywhere on the ship pretty much on demand. Did that feature not get carried over into subsequent designs?
I think Danar was immune. He was a super soldier.
The dribbles ate the hoses
@@theodoremccarthy4438 He wasn't immune, but he got his hands on some breathing apparatus.
It's crazy good that the newest Star trek Picard episode actually took in the detail that high pitched noises doesn't bother Worf but they do to Humans. I never noticed that detail until now :)
2:48 Yes Commander, we are gently strolling into his direction
Funny how there are no CCTV cameras in the future.
I ran a game with a character like this except that was an experienced combat engineer dealing with tech not as advanced as her own and all she was doing was running interference until she understood enough to either complete her mission or discover what the hell was going on and find a way to communicate with someone she had no idea was friendly or not so avoiding physically harming them was a point she kept to.
Given how old this episode is I can't help wondering if this is what gave me that character idea!
Sounds awesome. What system were you using for the game?
OMG! I knew Worf was brave, but DAMN!
I could always picture worf saying
"If you're going to attempt any violence do so"
"I would just love it"
"How the hell did he manage that"
He said to lower the force field. They did.
A cunning plan.
And this is why a hand weapon dosen't need the power cruise missile.
"He's in engineering"
"Acknowledged Commander, we're on our way!"
*Strolls casually down the corridor
On our way, as he's strolling down the corridor.
I see it was done to create tension, but I was annoyed by security failure and the intruder having magical knowledge about all enterprise systems.
1:04 look at the number on the door.
That’s actually quite the continuity error
I love how Worf mouthed "deck 30". Character error.
thank you so very much. for putting title episode info where we can find it. you are one of the few that does that. i am subbed and liked- great job
I think that the quote in the title should have been "You want my advice? -Double it!" Personally, I think that it was the better line choice and really reflects the scene's tone better. Regardless, the snippet is appreciated any way!
Internal sensors, calibrated to pinpoint detect life forms whose bio signatures are not in the ships database nor assigned to that ship as crew or civilians, would have been helpful in this situation.
As I recall one of his modifications masked his biosignature effectively 24/7 stealth mode. They could only track him based on physical interactions with the ship as a result.
Riker: Worf, he's in Engineering attempting to override our ship's main systems!
Worf: We are casually strolling that direction... we will get there eventually, might stop for a nice cup of soup.
lol love how worf shouts geordi! like he cares, lets him lie there, then just flings some other guy to his feet without any care or words.
Damn! OCP taught him a LOT!
OCP?
The actor playing Danar is the same guy that played Shyster in Robocop 2.
@@aggressiveattitudeera887 OCP, of course Robocop how could I forget.
They Captain could have so easily ordered an anaesthetic gas to be released which would have knocked him out and end of situation. The ship was equipped with the gas, but it was the stupid writers that made it the way we seen it.
Exactly. End of episode.
Judging by how he shrugged off those multiple phazer hits im guessing he would be far more resistant to anesthesia than any of the crew would be, so you would have him active while the crew is unconscious. :/
It's also made clear in other episodes that the computer should be able to disarm his stolen phaser, but that's never brought up here either.
Of course, this is the series that had the episode Rascals. A fun outing, but the premise of some random Ferengi capturing the Enterprise was painfully ludicrous.
Or let him get to the shuttle bay and explosively decompress it.
Gotta love how Worf just casually strolls to Engineering.
That was cool to see worf do some on hands work.
They had him a number of times and didn't realise it. All they had to do was flood his location with anethizein gas. They've done it before, why the hell didn't they do it this time?
They probably had to wait until he was in a confined area otherwise you'd end up knocking out everyone on that deck.
Because then they wouldn't have anything to fill up the rest of the episode with.
@@aznsbd totally agreed
They did it on the original Enterprise episode 'Space Seed', they should have done it here.
They did just that, right after this, in a cargo bay. The guy was apparently immune to its effects.
General quarters? What happened to red alert?
General quarters is a directive for all personnel (especially the thousand or so civilian family members) to get it their quarters and lock the door so they don't endanger themselves and muddle security efforts.
Red alert is a system to rapidly bring up shields and charge weapons and otherwise prepare for an external attack on the ship.
Geordi: you want my advice. DOUBLE IT! Absolutely
What's nice about this entire sequence is it exists so the audience understands the threat Danar (the solider) poses. The episode focuses on how Danar's home planet has exiled soldiers out of fear. By showing how intelligent, efficient, and potentially deadly he is, it makes the scepticism of Danar's homeworld seem more plausible.
