When he hands Picard the glass, you can see how his Right Middle Finger is missing. Lost it on Juno Beach when he was coming Ashore. After healing from the loss of his Finger, he then went on to train as a Air Spotter Pilot for the Artillery for the rest of World War 2 eith as many Medals as they could award him including the Victory Medal.
One of my favorite facts about Doohan is that after he died, he asked to be cremated and have his ashes shot into space. He served in the Second World War and was wounded multiple times, held a plethora of other acting roles, but in the end, his home was Star Trek. “If you treat her like a lady, she’ll always bring you home”.

So damn sad. I'm 71, I was 16 when the first show aired. So much lost, so many gone but never forgot. I seem to be visiting this scene. I think I connect it with my own lost friends and yesterdays. "Here's to you, Lads!"
I know exactly what you mean. The look on Scotty's face when he walks in and sees his "old ship" really hit home. I don't know what I would give to see my childhood home (as I saw it) or my grandparent's home again. Probably something so profoundly despicable and inhumane that the UN would have to create a new international law in response.
I hear you! I was 13 when the first show aired in 1966 and while the subsequent "Star Trek" shows have been well done (Although I didn't care for "Enterprise" or the ones after it) nothing's matched the magic of the original show. My man Scotty said it for all of us, "Here's to you lads!"
Oh my friend do I understand that. There is a quote that I heard last year that hit me like a brick falling out of the sky. It was- the hardest thing for anyone to accept is that there are somethings that will never be the same again. I'm 54 next month and I think all the time of the house I grew up in and lived for 35 years, the family, friends & loves of my life i've "lost" along the way and I just need a drink. I was 17 when nx generation came on the air and now I'm going to be 54. 😱
Spock was ambassador and still working on Romulus around this time (episode Unification, 1 year earlier, and Face of the Enemy, 6 months later). Admiral McCoy we saw in the first episode (Encounter at Farpoint, 6 years earlier), it is unknown whether he is still alive at this time. There are no canon sources for the whereabouts of any of the other TOS crew at this time.
@@SiBanstead89 Yes, obviously Scotty doesn't know. My response was to the previous discussion about who was or wasn't still alive, and how they were still alive.
Apparently this set actually belonged to a fan of the original series who had recreated it from scratch, and they had to borrow it as the original set was long since gone.
From what I've been told, it was just the console, and the rest was green-screened... well, not necessarily all of it. Possibly they built more of it? I need to look into that.
He's not walking on a fully real set. Some things might be real but it"s clear by the outline of his figure when entering he's walking into a room with green screen.
And this is from the episode "Relics" of season 6 ST:TNG if I recall correctly. It was one of the bridging process between these and Classic Trek - if memory serves me correctly. The final completion was Star Trek Generations and was the last piece of doing so. Aided by Trial and Tribble-ations from DS9 and Flashback from Voyager. Great sadness that so many of the old cast are gone - or seriously ill. That's now only in memories of old veteran Trek fans as myself. *sigh!*
1:39 "Here's to you, lads." Ugh, gets me every time. In character, he's toasting his long gone comrades who have gone before him. But as a veteran, I wonder how many real life comrades he's also toasting. Brilliantly done Sir. RIP.
This scene was always kind of weird to me, because at the point in which this Next Generation Episode was made (1992), I think all of the OG crew members were still alive. In-universe at that point (2369), only Kirk was known to be deceased (or thought to be). Bones and Spock were even on The Next Generation in guest roles. I just thought it was strange that we never see Scotty try to call up or ask about the old Enterprise crew to see if they're still around. I get why they didn't do that (since they would have to pay all the actors for their appearances), but it's one of those things you just have to accept to get the episode to work.
@@April-dv2pb Me too Too Bad that Gene Roddenberry had passed away before this episode was filmed and I think this is a tribute to both Gene Roddenberry and Bob Justman who worked with Gene on the oringal Star Trek and on Season one episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation
I think it’s us sympathizing with Scotty. Despite how real it looks, it’s just a recreation and Scotty painfully knows he can never bring back those moments. One day when we all grow old we will also long for the past that we can never bring back.
Touching scene.. Picard listening intently while having a drink with the man, showing respect for a retired veteran, after others had not, Two great men right here
My favorite part about this moment is that Scotty finally gets to feel appreciated by someone of this era. You can practically see the giddiness on Picard's face that as soon as he was off duty he wanted to rush down and hear all the stories Scotty could tell him. A chance to speak to a living legend is something he couldn't wait another second for, always thought the clear reverence on Picard's face was touching.
Mark Mallone I don't think they used him well in here laforge act like he didn't want to have nothing to do with him and yet he spend all the time dealing with Barkleys crap which is an idiot
@@metairie33 As much, as I like Geaordi`s "relationship to Barcley (espacially, since the first episode), I never could get around the fact, that he was so annoyed by Scotty. I mean, he just came back into existance after 80 years, and wants to help out.
@@AccidentalPreppper Also (according to the novels): Chekov has been the president of the UFP, and Uhura is currently a member of Starfleet Intelligence...
I am a Star Wars fan. And yet when I saw the expression on Scotty's face when he entered the bridge of the OS's Enterprise, I could feel it. It reminded me of the time when I visited my parents' first Apartment, the one we moved out of when I was 6. It struck me, because it was empty, but the feel was the same. I cried a lot, and am not a bit ashamed to say I did.
Can we just all reach across the aisle and say that both franchises kick ass? I'm more of a Trek guy, but I hold no ill will toward you, friend. Star Wars became the juggernaut it is for a REASON. There's room for both of us in this world.
It's perfectly possible to be a fan of both franchises Or even to be a fan of several Sci-fi franchises. I for instance, watched B5 first and then DS9. I never felt either was a rip-off of the other. They were both good series and franchises with their own strengths. Moreover, I think that many people who grew up in the '70 or in the '80s, grew up with series such as TOS, BSG, Buck Rogers, Space 1999, etc, because they were on-air or in syndication. My love for the genre certainly grew from there and then.
What's more unrivaled is celebrating mediocrity. It was Terry's fucking job to understand the lexicon, fan or otherwise. He probably got paid 800k for his one season of Picard.
Too bad it isn't part of canon. Whenever you saw a closeup of Scotty's right hand, another actor was used. They could have easily said that Scotty lost the middle finger in some engineering accident.
Not to diminish the acts of somebody who served in WWII. But I read he lost his finger in a friendly fire incident. He also received several other gunshot wounds
It's funny how Scotty reacts to the holodeck computer like a 90 year old man reacts to a smartphone, even though he's obviously a very tech savvy person.
Such a touching moment. Fun fact, not only was this a fan-owned recreation, as the original set was long since gone, but this is a real reaction from the actor, this take was the first and only shot. This is truly his reaction to seeing his old "home" for the fire time in decades. RIP Scotty.
Yep. Apparently the original version was that Scotty was going to sit in the bridge of the refit Enterprise A but they couldn't use it as the bridge had been transformed into the Enterprise D's "Battle Bridge" instead.
This is definitely my favorite scene from my favorite episode of TNG but, no - I didn't know that about this set. Wow. I also just assumed that Jimmy Doohan performed this in one take as he was so authentic as to elicit the emotions that we all felt coming from this wonderful actor! Kirk, Spock, etc. were all great - but SCOTTY? Need we say more?!! You'll be remembered for light years to come Mr. Doohan!
This scene is particularly noteworthy in terms of the continuity of the "Star Trek look". Up until this episode in the 6th season, it was always speculative among the fandom whether the TOS era would be recalled by TNG with all of its 1960s design & aesthetics intact, or would they ret-con and update everything the way Star Trek Discovery has. TNG's producers had always left us to wonder, up until this point.
and then it got reinforced in DS9 "Trials and Tribble-ations" where they used an improved version of the greenscreen approach to put the DS9 cast aboard the Enterprise and K-7. and then again in ENT "In a Mirror Darkly" 1&2 where they actually took the old set plans, modernized them with newer materials, effects, and minor style adjustments, and then added all new sets in the same style for good measure. a decade plus of continuity preservation. i'd say two and a half decades, given Lower Decks, but Discovery tried to retcon things so lower decks was just resetting things back.
Discovery is part of the timeline that started with the Borg incursion during First Contact. That's why the Discovery Enterprise looks more like the NX, and the Disco era uniforms have the same colour scheme and general arrangement of ENT uniforms.
Loved this episode. Showed Doohan's range as an actor which he sadly rarely ever got to show once TOS was canceled. The look on his face when he enters the holo-deck is heartbreaking. It isn't hard to think it was genuine emotion on Doohan's part and not acting.
I heard that he hadn't seen the room before entering it. He would've known there was a set, but actually seeing it for himself when the doors slide open, and getting to walk around, I think he was able to put his real emotions into the performance.
Damn, the melancholy melody at 1:34 gets me every time. You feel the weight of loss that Scotty feels for crew members long gone, and then you realize just how much of your life was wrapped up in their journey, their adventures, and their growth and development. And not just with them, but with Scotty too. A scene like this makes you feel like you have known Scotty a thousand years, and it's that camaraderie of having followed him that causes you to feel the same kind of nostalgia and painful rememberance that he is feeling.
Gut wrenching scene,when those doors open and the way Scotty reacts. Amazing actor in how he's able to project his emotion also showing us how much time has actually passed. Bravo good sir,bravo.
If you ever left home, and then come back years later, and find everything changed, this is what that feels like. Everything may have changed, but in your mind, you see everything as once it was. And it breaks your heart. Just like this. Every time. The best episode of TNG, in my opinion, Never fails to bring a teat to my eye.
"Here's to you lads" Such a meaningful line of sadness and love. I don't know if James Doohan health was an issue but this should have been a two part affair. They had to cram a lot into this episode and frankly that legend wouldn't be drinking alone at the bar. This could have happened after many hours of talking and sharing with a crew eager to hear from a real hero. Still though scenes like this made it great.
Scotty and LaForge together was priceless as well. Both absolutely top engineers. One from a more wild west sort of time and the other from a more by the book time, but equally talented and resourceful.
I'm getting misty. lol. Seriously though, isn't it a compelling thought to think of what it might be like for someone to wake up decades later, just after all your beloved friends & family have passed away?
I love this episode. Throughout all the various series this is one of my favorite episodes. I cried at parts because Scotty is a favorite character of mine. I couldn't imagine how he felt in the episode. All his friends were dead and he was considered useless by everybody and the technology was far beyond what he was used to. God bless Jimmy Doohan and may he rest in peace.
Depends how your life progresses, not complaining about my past but the present IS my life, never long for the past. My GF is 20 years younger and we have a baby, plus i have a teen kid. Theres no way i would want to relive the past, when i get older i just want my kids to be my continuation, plus i want a new 25 year old GF ofcourse.
the older I get the more the feels intensify for this scene. Notice how he walked over to the engineering station on the bridge before making the toast to his former crew mates.
Hits me in the feelies every time. Tears every time. Poor guy all alone and only the memory of his "Grand Lady" and as much as he loves the NCC-1701 the ship is nothing without the people sitting at her stations. A double emotional whammy.
The best years of Scotty's life were aboard this "old" ship. This is what he understood. This is what he loved. This is what he called "home". Yes, The other Enterprise vessels were more advanced, and were better in every way. But this particular model was special. It's like looking at an old 1960 Chrysler Imperial and comparing it to a new luxury car of 2018. The newer cars are more technologically advanced, perhaps even more comfortable. (That is debatable, I used to own one) but this is what the person of yesteryear understands. I suppose if I have to explain it, I shouldn't expect people to understand it.
After a certain point you start to. You miss the glory days, and in a way want them back. I had a black 1998 2-door Grand am I named Tammi Lynn - A. She was my 1st real nice car, a little sporty looking. I still have the original key. I gave them a copy of the key.
Picard: "But then of course, this is YOUR Enterprise.” Scotty: “I actually served on two. This was the first. She was also the first ship I ever served on as Chief Engineer.” Since Scotty acknowledges serving on only two Enterprises, I can only assume that the second ship he served on was the Enterprise-A. Does this mean that (…ooh, can you already hear the squeaky lid coming off that can of worms?) he does not recognize the Enterprise Refit (Star Trek: The Motion Picture) as a distinct ship on its own? :)
That walk that he does when he approaches the holodeck controls is a perfect recreation of the "I'm plastered but I'm trying not to show it" walk... :)
This moment in TNG is epic - Legendary in all the sense of the word. Quote for the ages (no bloody a,b,c or d), nostalgia to the roof, tearful moment (when camera shows his face and surprise and pan to empty chairs) .. etc. TNG for Life.
Anglomachian My grandfather used to spell his last name-my last name here- this way when he went to the bank. The tellers would spell his name wrong-Conner-and he'd say it like Scotty did. Like Doohan, my grandfather was Irish too and like Scotty, my grandfather Pop served in the Merchant Marine and was an engineer. He also commanded his own boat.
This evokes something for me that I'm sure will only become more painful and significant for me with time. I was born in 1998. I have only the vaguest memories of watching TOS, by the time Mr Doohan died in 2005. But I do remember. And I remember admiring all of them. I find myself grateful I'll be able to say I shared this planet at the same time as Mr Doohan for at least a little while. My daughter was born in 2021. I wish I could tell her that she did the same. But I treasure the opportunity I'll eventually be afforded to show her his work, and all of the work that proceeded it. And tell her how this man did more in service to humanity than most ever do, far before he ever appeared on screen. And I remain comforted by the fact that I'll be able to use Trek as a means to tell her never stop looking up, and reaching out, to the stars.
I got to sit on the bridge of this ship in Ticonderoga NY. To say it was a religious experience is a massive understatement. I didn’t want to leave Kirk’s chair. It nearly brought me to tears. I so badly wanted to press the red alert button. 🚨
The opportunity obviously never came again, so you should have pressed the Red Alert button while you were there. 😀 because, while you're there, you can make a difference.
One of the most Hearth-Touching Moments in ST-History... Pure Epic by Mr. James Doohan, one of my most beloved TV-Legends..... And I will not gona cry...
My sentiments exactly, Josh. I raised some Cherry Crush drink mix when Scotty raised his glass to Jim, Spock (Not knowing that Spock is alive and well), Bones, etc.
I cried the first time he spoke.I remember the first ST convention here in Dallas, Tx trying to bring the series back. It took awhile and ST1 wasn't all that good. I only went 10 times to see it!!!!!
The original Star Trek was such a large part of my childhood. Friday nights on the couch watching it with my dad. Didn’t understand the messages. Just loved the show. I miss my dad RIP.
Scotty was always such a likable, relatable character he just kind of blends in to whatever’s going on. It’s easy to overlook just how talented an actor Doohan was. Excellent performance here.
Picard being the only one who actually listens to Scotty's storytelling to let him come to terms with his lost past instead of thinking the world had moved on without him
The look on his face when entering the holodeck, and the camera focusing on Mr. Scott’s engineering station was a fantastic piece of filming. Awesome, and so believable.
They should have let the Ship's computer say one more line in reference to Star Trek the Motion Picture: Ship's Computer: "Enterprise NCC-1701... before or after Stardate: 7410.2 Refit?" This would have annoyed Scotty a bit, but he thinks about it and then proudly states "BEFORE refit."
It could have been worse and asked him for what year or stardate, as there was the original configuration, three minor refits, and the major refit/rebuild to choose from...
The NX-01 was a treat… the NCC-1701 - D was a beauty… the NCC-1701-E was badass… but the original NCC-1701… not the refit but the true original…. That ship was and shall always be an irreplaceable treasure.
I've always loved how in this scene the classic Enterprise is still revered as the workhorse gold standard of starship designs. Which it most definitely is.
As I get older myself, this scene becomes more impactful.
True. Just like Tapestry.
Same.
This is my absolute favorite scene in all of Star Trek
Picard’s remarks particularly. There are things I hated doing at the time. But as an older man I do sometimes feel I’d give anything to be doing them again.
Why do I relate to this. Wtf. ugh
Here's to you, Captain Scott.
And here's to you, James Montgomery Doohan, veteran of Juno Beach on D Day and a pilot for Canadian artillery.
Lost one of his fingers on Juno Beach! Also the original inventor of the Klingon and Vulcan languages on Star Trek.

He was quite an underrated actor.

Spock was ambassador and still working on Romulus around this time (episode Unification, 1 year earlier, and Face of the Enemy, 6 months later). Admiral McCoy we saw in the first episode (Encounter at Farpoint, 6 years earlier), it is unknown whether he is still alive at this time.
There are no canon sources for the whereabouts of any of the other TOS crew at this time.
@@tylisirn To Scotty, in this episode at least, is unaware that Spock et al are alive.
@@SiBanstead89 Yes, obviously Scotty doesn't know. My response was to the previous discussion about who was or wasn't still alive, and how they were still alive.
Apparently this set actually belonged to a fan of the original series who had recreated it from scratch, and they had to borrow it as the original set was long since gone.
From what I've been told, it was just the console, and the rest was green-screened... well, not necessarily all of it. Possibly they built more of it? I need to look into that.
Very cool story if that's true!
Just goes to show Fans are nuts lol
He's not walking on a fully real set. Some things might be real but it"s clear by the outline of his figure when entering he's walking into a room with green screen.
And this is from the episode "Relics" of season 6 ST:TNG if I recall correctly. It was one of the bridging process between these and Classic Trek - if memory serves me correctly. The final completion was Star Trek Generations and was the last piece of doing so. Aided by Trial and Tribble-ations from DS9 and Flashback from Voyager. Great sadness that so many of the old cast are gone - or seriously ill. That's now only in memories of old veteran Trek fans as myself. *sigh!*
1:39 "Here's to you, lads." Ugh, gets me every time. In character, he's toasting his long gone comrades who have gone before him. But as a veteran, I wonder how many real life comrades he's also toasting. Brilliantly done Sir. RIP.
I think sulu n kirk are still about in RL.
Not sure on checkov
This scene was always kind of weird to me, because at the point in which this Next Generation Episode was made (1992), I think all of the OG crew members were still alive. In-universe at that point (2369), only Kirk was known to be deceased (or thought to be). Bones and Spock were even on The Next Generation in guest roles.
I just thought it was strange that we never see Scotty try to call up or ask about the old Enterprise crew to see if they're still around. I get why they didn't do that (since they would have to pay all the actors for their appearances), but it's one of those things you just have to accept to get the episode to work.
He was missing tham
Frm what remember uhura, bones, and spock are still alive
@@rucu8311William Shatner has commented on ST:SNW and he doesn't look a day over 70. He's still kickin around.
I had goosebumps when Scottie said "Hears to you lads" Very Moving.
While looking at Chekov and Sulu's stations, yea, right in the feels.
A real toast to those who had gone before him, I believe.
I try to take a drink every time i see that clip. Cheers to all
@@joner6060 I'm having a nice IPA now.
I am in no way ashamed to say this scene can bring a tear to my eye. Classic Star Trek.
Me too. When the doors open and he walk into the holodeck.
Especially when the music cues...
@@April-dv2pb Me too Too Bad that Gene Roddenberry had passed away before this episode was filmed and I think this is a tribute to both Gene Roddenberry and Bob Justman who worked with Gene on the oringal Star Trek and on Season one episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation
@@PieFights I agree.
Me too!
That scene when the doors open and the look on Scotty's face.
I swear i'm not crying. You're crying
Gouzaku Fuwachi Yeah, no kidding. It really was one of those special moments in the series.
Gouzaku Fuwachi I’m not crying either 😢 you’re crying... I am though. Maybe
crying....oh yes..
The sounds really bring it to life in my mind.
I think it’s us sympathizing with Scotty. Despite how real it looks, it’s just a recreation and Scotty painfully knows he can never bring back those moments. One day when we all grow old we will also long for the past that we can never bring back.
Touching scene.. Picard listening intently while having a drink with the man, showing respect for a retired veteran, after others had not, Two great men right here
If I'm not mistaken, Picard was the oldest person on board, after Scotty.
@@Sentinel66able Guinan says hi
@@tigersebelshe’s the oldest but she’s not near the end of her life.
@@utizzle44 yes. but she is the oldest and that is whats asked here
My favorite part about this moment is that Scotty finally gets to feel appreciated by someone of this era. You can practically see the giddiness on Picard's face that as soon as he was off duty he wanted to rush down and hear all the stories Scotty could tell him. A chance to speak to a living legend is something he couldn't wait another second for, always thought the clear reverence on Picard's face was touching.
"Here's to ya lads"
....and the look on Scotty's face as he enters make this scene so touching.
I always felt sorry for him in this episode.
You can bet your ass the actor probably felt the same as the character.
Mark Mallone I don't think they used him well in here laforge act like he didn't want to have nothing to do with him and yet he spend all the time dealing with Barkleys crap which is an idiot
They should’ve said oh btw Spock and McCoy are still around
@@metairie33 As much, as I like Geaordi`s "relationship to Barcley (espacially, since the first episode), I never could get around the fact, that he was so annoyed by Scotty. I mean, he just came back into existance after 80 years, and wants to help out.
@@AccidentalPreppper Also (according to the novels): Chekov has been the president of the UFP, and Uhura is currently a member of Starfleet Intelligence...
I am a Star Wars fan. And yet when I saw the expression on Scotty's face when he entered the bridge of the OS's Enterprise, I could feel it. It reminded me of the time when I visited my parents' first Apartment, the one we moved out of when I was 6. It struck me, because it was empty, but the feel was the same. I cried a lot, and am not a bit ashamed to say I did.
Both Star Trek and Star Wars (1977-1983 era) are awesome
@@Diesel436 There’s also some good 1990-2000s Star Trek and Star Wars
Can we just all reach across the aisle and say that both franchises kick ass?
I'm more of a Trek guy, but I hold no ill will toward you, friend. Star Wars became the juggernaut it is for a REASON. There's room for both of us in this world.
It's perfectly possible to be a fan of both franchises
Or even to be a fan of several Sci-fi franchises. I for instance, watched B5 first and then DS9. I never felt either was a rip-off of the other. They were both good series and franchises with their own strengths.
Moreover, I think that many people who grew up in the '70 or in the '80s, grew up with series such as TOS, BSG, Buck Rogers, Space 1999, etc, because they were on-air or in syndication. My love for the genre certainly grew from there and then.
Star Wars and Star Trek. May both live long and prosper.
One word to describe James Doohan, LEGEND.
He was also a World War Two Veteran.
Here’s to you James Doohan
(March 3rd, 1920 - July 20th, 2005)
15 years later. Still missed as a legend.
I would like to propose a toast, with some Ezra Brooks Rye Whiskey (green label, of course) to Mr. Doohan and the life he led.
The moment James Doohan gave us in his face when the doors first opened to the holodeck was priceless and amazing work.
"There's one in the fleet museum" OMG. Wow. Terry Matalas' attention to detail is unrivaled.
the fans will be eternally grateful.
Which is the Enterprise-A after it was decommissioned by Starfleet after the Khitomer incident.
What's more unrivaled is celebrating mediocrity. It was Terry's fucking job to understand the lexicon, fan or otherwise. He probably got paid 800k for his one season of Picard.
0:55 When you log on to an old game and the nostalgia hits you hard
2:19
You can see the missing finger on Jimmie’s right hand that got shot off during the war.
We thank you, always, for your heroism Mr Doohan.
Too bad it isn't part of canon. Whenever you saw a closeup of Scotty's right hand, another actor was used. They could have easily said that Scotty lost the middle finger in some engineering accident.
@@EHH246 maybe. but it would have to be pretty bad. think about the medical oprtunities at the time
As a former Canadian Navy Reservist, I salute James Doohan. He showed patriotism, courage and valour on Juno Beach, D-Day, 1944
Not to diminish the acts of somebody who served in WWII. But I read he lost his finger in a friendly fire incident. He also received several other gunshot wounds
It's funny how Scotty reacts to the holodeck computer like a 90 year old man reacts to a smartphone, even though he's obviously a very tech savvy person.
Nikola Wiche well even the best of us eventually fall behind the times.
He's drunk and pissed off lol
In his defense, his computers didn't tend to talk back to him. And he's had more than a few by this time...
@@tylisirn And the ship's computer was a little.....sassy at times :D
Plus it has the voice of his old comrade Nurse Chapel, for some reason
Such a touching moment. Fun fact, not only was this a fan-owned recreation, as the original set was long since gone, but this is a real reaction from the actor, this take was the first and only shot. This is truly his reaction to seeing his old "home" for the fire time in decades. RIP Scotty.
Yep. Apparently the original version was that Scotty was going to sit in the bridge of the refit Enterprise A but they couldn't use it as the bridge had been transformed into the Enterprise D's "Battle Bridge" instead.
This is definitely my favorite scene from my favorite episode of TNG but, no - I didn't know that about this set. Wow. I also just assumed that Jimmy Doohan performed this in one take as he was so authentic as to elicit the emotions that we all felt coming from this wonderful actor! Kirk, Spock, etc. were all great - but SCOTTY? Need we say more?!! You'll be remembered for light years to come Mr. Doohan!
He seems genuinely happy in this scene. As if it’s not acting , but a real part of his life
I read that when James Doohan walked onto that set, it was the first time he'd seen it.
For me this was one of the most heart breaking episodes in ST: TNG. Poor Scotty :(
"Here's to you, lads"
I would also add the episode where Data loses his daughter, as one of the most tragic.
This scene is particularly noteworthy in terms of the continuity of the "Star Trek look". Up until this episode in the 6th season, it was always speculative among the fandom whether the TOS era would be recalled by TNG with all of its 1960s design & aesthetics intact, or would they ret-con and update everything the way Star Trek Discovery has. TNG's producers had always left us to wonder, up until this point.
and then it got reinforced in DS9 "Trials and Tribble-ations" where they used an improved version of the greenscreen approach to put the DS9 cast aboard the Enterprise and K-7. and then again in ENT "In a Mirror Darkly" 1&2 where they actually took the old set plans, modernized them with newer materials, effects, and minor style adjustments, and then added all new sets in the same style for good measure.
a decade plus of continuity preservation.
i'd say two and a half decades, given Lower Decks, but Discovery tried to retcon things so lower decks was just resetting things back.
@@glitterboy2098 well I feel that STD is not part of the original Roddenberry Timeline. It’s just the glaringly ugly child of Abrams.
TNG respected TOS
Discovery is part of the timeline that started with the Borg incursion during First Contact. That's why the Discovery Enterprise looks more like the NX, and the Disco era uniforms have the same colour scheme and general arrangement of ENT uniforms.
@@MrMoorkey This is the best explanation I had seen so far. Except, IIRC, producer of STD claimed it is prime timeline.
Loved this episode. Showed Doohan's range as an actor which he sadly rarely ever got to show once TOS was canceled. The look on his face when he enters the holo-deck is heartbreaking. It isn't hard to think it was genuine emotion on Doohan's part and not acting.
I heard that he hadn't seen the room before entering it. He would've known there was a set, but actually seeing it for himself when the doors slide open, and getting to walk around, I think he was able to put his real emotions into the performance.
Damn, the melancholy melody at 1:34 gets me every time. You feel the weight of loss that Scotty feels for crew members long gone, and then you realize just how much of your life was wrapped up in their journey, their adventures, and their growth and development. And not just with them, but with Scotty too. A scene like this makes you feel like you have known Scotty a thousand years, and it's that camaraderie of having followed him that causes you to feel the same kind of nostalgia and painful rememberance that he is feeling.
"Here's to you lads.," becomes increasingly depressing as I get older. I was only ten when this episode premiered and never got it until my thirties.
Aye....when you think about where you've been and where your going. "here's to ya lads." It hits different now then it did then.
Gut wrenching scene,when those doors open and the way Scotty reacts. Amazing actor in how he's able to project his emotion also showing us how much time has actually passed. Bravo good sir,bravo.
If you ever left home, and then come back years later, and find everything changed, this is what that feels like. Everything may have changed, but in your mind, you see everything as once it was. And it breaks your heart. Just like this. Every time. The best episode of TNG, in my opinion, Never fails to bring a teat to my eye.
"Here's to you lads" Such a meaningful line of sadness and love.
I don't know if James Doohan health was an issue but this should have been a two part affair. They had to cram a lot into this episode and frankly that legend wouldn't be drinking alone at the bar. This could have happened after many hours of talking and sharing with a crew eager to hear from a real hero.
Still though scenes like this made it great.
"Relics" is my favorite Star Trek episode ever, all generations. Scotty was awesome and the writing here was spectacular.
The discovery of the Dyson Sphere also tied Star Trek into alot of written Science Fiction lore as it is the next step after building a ringworld.
Scotty and LaForge together was priceless as well. Both absolutely top engineers. One from a more wild west sort of time and the other from a more by the book time, but equally talented and resourceful.
"Here's to ya, lads" .... can the person chopping onions in the back please, give it a rest!!??
I'm getting misty. lol. Seriously though, isn't it a compelling thought to think of what it might be like for someone to wake up decades later, just after all your beloved friends & family have passed away?
I love this episode. Throughout all the various series this is one of my favorite episodes. I cried at parts because Scotty is a favorite character of mine. I couldn't imagine how he felt in the episode. All his friends were dead and he was considered useless by everybody and the technology was far beyond what he was used to. God bless Jimmy Doohan and may he rest in peace.
I still get teary eye when I see this scene - Scotty your right "Here to You Lads"
The most emotional scene for any real Star Trek fan in the Star Trek series.
When old men get tears it means something!
A close 2nd was Picard and that small musical instrument.
@@ProperLogicalDebate when JLP was playing his flute, alone, that hit me
"Here's to ya lads." We all long for the past. There is comfort there. Moving forward, but never forgetting, is the only way to live.
Depends how your life progresses, not complaining about my past but the present IS my life, never long for the past. My GF is 20 years younger and we have a baby, plus i have a teen kid. Theres no way i would want to relive the past, when i get older i just want my kids to be my continuation, plus i want a new 25 year old GF ofcourse.
the older I get the more the feels intensify for this scene. Notice how he walked over to the engineering station on the bridge before making the toast to his former crew mates.
Fixing to turn 60. So many great memories as a kid watching the original series. Here's to you Mr. Doohan "Scotty " 🙂🥃
Him talking to the ships computer is like our parents trying to use alexa/siri.......it's amazing how this show was so far ahead of its time.
Or nurse Chapel
2:33 I love the look on Scotty's face when Picard mentioned the name of the drink. He was relieved that he got a Whiskey even if it wasn't from Earth.
As i get older this episode hits me more and more.
It keeps reminding me of the older family members more and more and more.
One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite episodes of The Next Generation. Having grown up with the original series it was a touching scene.
Aye.
No bloody A B C or D
Daycrist actually if I remember correctly the A is the Constitution refit
Jill Evans If only there was no bloody JJ
i i remember correctly, the refit didn't have a A suffix, but after it was destroyed and rebuilt the same as the refit, they added the A to it..
@daycrist that is what i said, but thank you for validating my memory.
(Or E).
Even though its just acting my heart went out to Captain Scott in this scene. He deserved allot more respect than these young fools on the D gave him.
Such a great emotional scene. Only gets better the older we get, where we understand Scotty.
I agree This scene get me as well what a touching tribute to the Oringal Series and to it's creator Gene Roddenberry
Hits me in the feelies every time. Tears every time. Poor guy all alone and only the memory of his "Grand Lady" and as much as he loves the NCC-1701 the ship is nothing without the people sitting at her stations. A double emotional whammy.
The best years of Scotty's life were aboard this "old" ship. This is what he understood. This is what he loved. This is what he called "home". Yes, The other Enterprise vessels were more advanced, and were better in every way. But this particular model was special. It's like looking at an old 1960 Chrysler Imperial and comparing it to a new luxury car of 2018. The newer cars are more technologically advanced, perhaps even more comfortable. (That is debatable, I used to own one) but this is what the person of yesteryear understands. I suppose if I have to explain it, I shouldn't expect people to understand it.
It was this man, and this ship that made the other worth a darn. Anyone who disrespected an original had no real respect for life.
thats cause old cars and old starships ships are just prettier
After a certain point you start to.
You miss the glory days, and in a way want them back.
I had a black 1998 2-door Grand am I named Tammi Lynn - A.
She was my 1st real nice car, a little sporty looking. I still have the original key. I gave them a copy of the key.
I understood every word.
Picard: "But then of course, this is YOUR Enterprise.”
Scotty: “I actually served on two. This was the first. She was also the first ship I ever served on as Chief Engineer.”
Since Scotty acknowledges serving on only two Enterprises, I can only assume that the second ship he served on was the Enterprise-A. Does this mean that (…ooh, can you already hear the squeaky lid coming off that can of worms?) he does not recognize the Enterprise Refit (Star Trek: The Motion Picture) as a distinct ship on its own? :)
I miss Mr. Doohan so much. He left a VERY big footprint on this world portraying Mr. Scott. " Hello computer ?" God Bless you sir!
Goosebumps when he's entering the bridge. The theme song, the sensor sounds. Epic experiences from the pioneers before.
That walk that he does when he approaches the holodeck controls is a perfect recreation of the "I'm plastered but I'm trying not to show it" walk... :)
I shed some man tears when he entered the holodeck.
You are not the only one. When the music started after he came through the door, I just melted into a sobbing mess.
@@dogbarbill
You're kidding... right?
The tears still come when Scotty walks onto the bridge.
What Was...and what might-have-been.
He's probably on board it in heaven rip always scotty
This moment in TNG is epic - Legendary in all the sense of the word. Quote for the ages (no bloody a,b,c or d), nostalgia to the roof, tearful moment (when camera shows his face and surprise and pan to empty chairs) .. etc. TNG for Life.
I watched Season 3 of Picard and saw the one in the fleet museum. When I saw that ship, I thought back on this episode. Ah, memories.
"Here's to you, lads!" The same from me, Scotty.
and me too.
Always on Patrol. RIP sir.
Love that it is Majel as voice. Feels. Good.
When the Original Series theme starts playing it kills me every time.
One must be careful in making assumptions about actors and their true self, but Mr. Doohan has always seemed a genuinely nice person to me.
Over the years I've read about numerous encounters that people had with him and every single one of them was very positive.
I just love this scene. One of the best moments in any Star Trek series.
"No bloody A, B, C, or D"
Makes me chuckle.
Anglomachian My grandfather used to spell his last name-my last name here- this way when he went to the bank. The tellers would spell his name wrong-Conner-and he'd say it like Scotty did. Like Doohan, my grandfather was Irish too and like Scotty, my grandfather Pop served in the Merchant Marine and was an engineer. He also commanded his own boat.
"The only one I think of. The only one I miss."
Picard's nod really hits home after Episode 9 tonight.
How could anyone possibly thumbs down this scene? Such a beautiful scene.
Who else expects to see Kirk and Spock come through the orange door?
I do.
Along with Uhura, Sulu, Chekov, Bones, and Rand.
Considering that Spock and Bones were on the show..... kinda wished they all appeared together on the same episode.
@@123RADIOactive well bones in the first episode, spock a bit later, Scotty here...Kirk in the movies. All we are missing is uhura, sulu, and chekov
Hyena-Gaming wasn’t Chekov in the movie with Scotty and Kirk as well (The next generations)?
We learn something new today... Picard can drink Scotty under the table. Makes one wonder whats really in his tea cups? LOL
Scotty got a head start on his drinking.
@Brent, That's right, Scotty was half in the bag before Picard joined in.
It's also syntetohol timex maybe people got used to the drinks
EARL GREY HOT!. With a little something extra :)
No, that was the real stuff that Guinan kept under the bar.
This truly is one of the Greatest TNG episodes. RIP James 'Scotty' Doohan
This evokes something for me that I'm sure will only become more painful and significant for me with time. I was born in 1998. I have only the vaguest memories of watching TOS, by the time Mr Doohan died in 2005. But I do remember. And I remember admiring all of them. I find myself grateful I'll be able to say I shared this planet at the same time as Mr Doohan for at least a little while. My daughter was born in 2021. I wish I could tell her that she did the same. But I treasure the opportunity I'll eventually be afforded to show her his work, and all of the work that proceeded it. And tell her how this man did more in service to humanity than most ever do, far before he ever appeared on screen. And I remain comforted by the fact that I'll be able to use Trek as a means to tell her never stop looking up, and reaching out, to the stars.
I got to sit on the bridge of this ship in Ticonderoga NY. To say it was a religious experience is a massive understatement. I didn’t want to leave Kirk’s chair. It nearly brought me to tears. I so badly wanted to press the red alert button. 🚨
who WOULD want to leave the captain's chair?
These comments just reinforce my love for TOS.
The opportunity obviously never came again, so you should have pressed the Red Alert button while you were there. 😀 because, while you're there, you can make a difference.
One of the most Hearth-Touching Moments in ST-History...
Pure Epic by Mr. James Doohan, one of my most beloved TV-Legends.....
And I will not gona cry...
Ahh..memories of the old cardboard and Christmas light stages..and don't forget the 'manually' operated Bridge doors...
Knowing James Doohan's story from the Normandy invasion, I have nothing but mad respect for such a verifiable bad ass!
In this episode, James Doohan looks so much like my father.
I miss them both.
Same here. Both. Cheers.
James Doohan, now rests in peace. Here's to you, Scotty / James. I raise my Rockstar energy drink to you. (I don't drink.)
You don't drink alcohol, but you'll drink that stimulant trash? You realise it's just another drug you're abusing, right?
My sentiments exactly, Josh. I raised some Cherry Crush drink mix when Scotty raised his glass to Jim, Spock (Not knowing that Spock is alive and well), Bones, etc.
You're better off drinking than drinking energy drinks 😂
Aldebaran Whiskey recipe:
Gatorade Frost Arctic Blitz (green)
Ginger Ale
Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey
The Actual Liquid They Used For The Whiskey Was Hi-C Ecto Cooler
I started out laughing. Then Scotty saw his ship’s bridge and suddenly I had tears in my eyes.
This is my most favorite of all episodes. Can’t escape time can only embrace and behold the time
I cried when I watched this episode.
I cried the first time he spoke.I remember the first ST convention here in Dallas, Tx trying to bring the series back. It took awhile and ST1 wasn't all that good. I only went 10 times to see it!!!!!
When I'm on my boat I can also tell how fast were going by the feel of the floor.
The original Star Trek was such a large part of my childhood. Friday nights on the couch watching it with my dad. Didn’t understand the messages. Just loved the show. I miss my dad RIP.
I miss him, what a good actor + soul !
Mr. Scott, it's the only one I miss as well.
Amazing to see Scotty back on the old bridge. Seeing Picard on it too? Mind blown!!!!
Scotty was always such a likable, relatable character he just kind of blends in to whatever’s going on.
It’s easy to overlook just how talented an actor Doohan was. Excellent performance here.
My favorite episode of the whole TNG series. The only one I repeatedly watch . R.I.P. Jimmy. We all miss you dearly .
Simply beautiful. I grew up with show as a young man and the throwback is amazing.
"No bloody a, b, c, or D!!! and no bloody abramsverse or discovery versions either!!!"
Discovery is main timeline. Deal with it.
Picard being the only one who actually listens to Scotty's storytelling to let him come to terms with his lost past instead of thinking the world had moved on without him
The look on his face when entering the holodeck, and the camera focusing on Mr. Scott’s engineering station was a fantastic piece of filming. Awesome, and so believable.
They should have let the Ship's computer say one more line in reference to Star Trek the Motion Picture:
Ship's Computer: "Enterprise NCC-1701... before or after Stardate: 7410.2 Refit?" This would have annoyed Scotty a bit, but he thinks about it and then proudly states "BEFORE refit."
I would have LOVED this. :)
I thought the same thing
So true LOL
The computer would be more technical, asking which pre refit design he would've wanted....the 2245 or 2265 design...
It could have been worse and asked him for what year or stardate, as there was the original configuration, three minor refits, and the major refit/rebuild to choose from...
Love the original sweeping ping, ping ,ping, ping.
The NX-01 was a treat… the NCC-1701 - D was a beauty… the NCC-1701-E was badass… but the original NCC-1701… not the refit but the true original…. That ship was and shall always be an irreplaceable treasure.
Well said. I couldn't agree more.
I've always loved how in this scene the classic Enterprise is still revered as the workhorse gold standard of starship designs. Which it most definitely is.
