Star Trek predicted the future where neurotic hypochondriacs use Web MD to diagnose their ailments.
That's been a known thing forever. It's called Medical Student's Syndrome.
Haha - he reminds me of a scene from a Woody Allen movie (don’t know which) where someone’s telling him symptoms and he starts exhibiting them as he hears them

Barclay episodes frustrated me as a kid but I’ve grown to appreciate their entertainment value. Unlike a lot of episodes, I actually remember the plots to his years later.
As a big fan of The A-Team, I was always overjoyed when there was a Barclay episode. Dwight Schultz is a great addition to TNG.
This is one of my favourite episodes. Yes, of course the explanations don't make sense, how something works really isn't as important as what effect it has on the characters and plot. Even The Martian, one of the most scientifically accurate sci-fi stories I've ever read, has the conceit that there's enough energy in Martian wind to break a communication dish off the Hab and knock Mark Watney far enough off the path that nobody could find him. Of course, how much of this you'll accept is a personal choice. I have my limit, too, where too much technobabble will break my suspension of disbelief. I prefer when they minimize the requirements for it, but I have a pretty high tolerance.
This episode was not "based around a science idea" it was based around a character dealing with having symptoms of something nobody can identify. The A-plot was Barclay's condition, the B-plot was the silly alien plasma creatures. The A-plot was excellent, the B-plot was silly and fun. I give it an A+.
Thanks for this comment. The most fun i get of this content is about guys trying to analyse a science fiction show without being able to even realize what "fiction" means. Kinda silly, but sometimes mildly amusing.
@@MartGCyeah these guys really don’t seem to get the show, or even like it that much. i’m not a puritan and criticism is fine but a lot of it is cinemasins style nitpicking which can get pretty annoying. especially since a lot of the time they’re missing the mark as to the point of a certain detail or a specific line.
@@tonoornottono"I don't understand something, so it's STUPID! Hurr hurr XD" "The plot and writing sucks, because I don't understand it hurr hurr XD" etc. etc.
I appreciate they did the series from start to finish and I enjoy most of the jokes, good editing, references, recapping, etc. but holy smokes calling all the characters and the writing stupid all the time (mostly Robert) is really annoying.
Just you wait till you run into the episode with Doctor Crusher and the ghost. No disappointment there.
The scene where he checks for the symptoms of transporter psychosis looks like the scene in Airplane where the pilot enacts the symptoms described by Leslie Nielsen.
I really don't remember a lot of these episodes but I still come back for the sarcastic banter
Starfleet: where every cadet undergoes rigorous physical and mental screening tests during their application to the academy - and where neurotic wrecks serve on the flagship.
The natural progression of the everybody gets a trophy mentality.
To be fair Barkley never went to the academy
@@Gabeslicor Was that stated somewhere? Because as I understand it academy was a requirement for officer rank.
@@Gabeslicor Where did you get that from?
@@Gabeslicor from star trek memory alpha, "During Barclay's attendance at Starfleet Academy, his "seclusive tendencies" escaped the attentions of neither his classmates nor his service record. Despite this, Barclay graduated and received a commendation by serving competently in Starfleet for many years."
legend has it that barclay is still looking “smurfy” to this day
Barclay should have had his own series.
They got through most of Voyager before they realized he should have been on board the whole time.
@@dycedargselderbrother5353 yes! Star Trek Barclay, the Voyage Home
"Star Trek: The Broccoli Chronicles"
The transporter issues are explained if you understand the tech. Beaming to is easier than beaming back…and other episodes have had to do with something interfering with transport. To this end, two transporters can be linked to improve a successful transport…later TNG used transporter boosters (a trio of lit pylons) to help facilitate a successful transporter lock. Now, the idea of going back through the transporter to undo something isn’t how it works. The transporter trace doesn’t work as an undo button and modifications would be needed to reintegrate on a pattern stored in memory from a prior transport.
awww man, I loved the nostalgic half-life references!
as far as transporter magic, it must really chap your hide that Scotty stores himself in a transporter for 75 years later on in this season!
I just want to say that I love your videos and I laugh out loud through every single one of them. I'm also a huge Star Trek fan and love Star Trek The Next Generation. I was thinking about how all these things you point out that are funny I've never even thought about. I think it's because when you watch a show when it first comes out and it's cutting edge at the time, it's different than looking back at it years later when technology has changed so much. There's also a nostalgic aspect when watching shows that you enjoyed growing up. I love watching Scarecrow and Mrs. King, but for anyone watching it now, I'm sure they would think I'm crazy for liking it. It's just that when I watch it I feel like I'm being transported back to the 1980's to a much simpler time. The same goes for this show. And even though you bring up a lot of funny and obvious negative things about the script and the acting, it still brings back such warm feelings and memories to watch ST-TNG! Surprisingly your negative opinions about some aspects of this show don't seem to sway my feelings about how good it is. You guys are so hilarious and I'm still going to continue to enjoy your videos, which I'm sure you're very relieved about! 😅😅😅
I don't like this episode, but Barclay makes it watchable.
first, also for some reason this episode scared the living shit out of me when i was a kid
As for keeping people alive for long periods of time in the transporter stream, don't worry, that'll come up again shortly.
The "microbes" are probably just built in a way that's easy to make into energy and back. E=MC^2 and stuff.
No dude....Date was saying there was intermittent interference. In other words, we MAY be able to transport there but, there's no guarantee we can get you back.
I can never understand the transporter. So much of it annoys me, like how is it possible for them to move even when the sparkly effect is still in progress. Notice when they beam down to a location, they always move around even when the still have atoms moving around near their stomach. How is it possible to remain able to see in the transporter beam as shown here. Surely your eyes are also taken apart atom by atom to be transported.
OK, I'm going to come right out and say it - 20th century TV shows were created as, "watch once . . . then move on". For most of the 20th century there was no widespread, convenient way to endlessly re-watch shows on-demand. If Reverse Angle, and the online universe itself, had been a fixture of 1922, instead of 2022, the entire realm of TV entertainment could have reached a higher standard. At least more attention to detail could have become a reasonable expectation. Just sayin'. Thank you Reverse Angle - you guys Rock!
So now we know what it was like for Scotty for all those years.
Whence did the ionization come?
In The Expanse there's also an element of a character detecting an alien presence when transferring through a portal.
Barkley consulting the computer about "Transporter Psychosis" is the 24th century version of a hypochondriac using WebMD.
You got the like for the reboot reference 🎉
The transporter effect in this episode, from the victim's point of view, is like the effect they used for the Star Trek ride in Law Vegas
this is a
BARCLAY episode
I don't mind watching
yeah the new music is way better. even that short bit of silence before the intro theme makes it less jarring
Digging that new tune at the end of the video.
I think we all tried it as well...though I didn't get a cramp...i just got frustrated
Ok, let me tell you. We all love O'Brian, but, from someone who's actually Aracnophobic, if I knew a crew member was transporting an alien tarantula, I will set the ship in self destruct.
I like Steak cooked medium, mashed potatoes with gravy, rice, wine, and the green things that comes with my dinner.
I'd like to see an actual picture of a talarian hook spider - I think it would mostly resemble a japanese giant crab. WIth more hair, and hooks. Uargh.
Yeah Barkley. You see your freaking ARM glowing you RUN your ass to sick bay!
This episode is so stinking adorable.
Especially the end. I liked Christina. I wish she’d appeared more.
(She probably scared Molly. Or vice versa.)
Barclay not becoming Gordon Freeman seems like a lost opportunity.
Where do I go to see a list of episode grades?
They do one at the end of whole series.
Barclay's eyes were shown moving during transport.
“For some reason” 🤣
btw, if you thought this one was bad, you don’t know just how god awful the next one is
Good episode
Good grades; its in the "D" realm (pun intended). Good comments on the episode and on the "way to long" about Barclay's arm.
in real life
a person that was
BEAMING
would have to keep
their eyes closed
or he or she would suffer
VISUAL ACCUITY

VERTIGO
DISEQUILIBRIUM

collapsing in a heap
Photons being waves and particularly or something
I never realized how much I had to shut my brain off to watch next generation.
I like a good Broccoli episode, but this ain't one of them.
Barclay going through his symptoms reminded me of a similar scene in Airplane: czcams.com/video/Ir1rzzGugIU/video.html
10/10 reboot reference.

Well guys, I agree this is one of the worst episodes in the show. It was bland and went nowhere, and everybody's character seemed to have taken a step backward. But I gotta tell you, this was not your finest episode. You came off as a couple of snotty Gen Z brats who hate everything and only want macaroni and cheese for dinner. (And yes, I know you're older than that). The episode didn't make sense, I mean it really didn't, but we are watching late 80s science fiction and Wikipedia was not a thing. In every episode, it's, over and over again, "It's stupid cus it doesn't make sense." You've gotten into a rut. Look, I get that this episode is a real trash fire, but you should have handled it with a lot more humor and a lot less snark.
I think if the narrative is strong one can look past bad science. This was just a dull episode and all the faults became more visible.

Going through the comments, not to mention the narration of these videos, I find your lack of faith and know it all tone disturbing.
Terrible, just terrible. 3 bad episodes in a row now.
The writers either took far too much acid while writing this plot, or nowhere near enough of it. Barclay was great, as always. It's hilarious watching an average person try to cope with the madness of everyday life on board the Enterprise.
