Thankfully he doesn't actually have to give Worf the satisfaction of saying he agrees, he simply acts like Worf didn't say anything and gives an order to the ensign.

    • @bugen5
      @bugen5 Před 2 lety +62

      The ship dropped out of warp, which could mean that massive amounts of power had to be diverted, not only from the engines, but probably other systems as well. Maneuverability, phasers, not to mention all the other systems Barclay had to reroute power through, making those systems inoperable. Even then, that 300% increase to shields is probably only good to withstand one massive hit, and then you're left defenseless with no systems.
      Not good for a dog fight, but more as a last ditch effort.
      But you are right about how the computer should have a record of how he did it, what inputs he made on the console. This last-ditch-extreme-emergency protocol should be available for every starship.

      My deadcanon is that they saved the information and forwarded it to Starfleet HQ, who then put their scientists to work on it, trying to figure out how to do it again but safely and in a way that can be massproduced. Research like that doesn't happen overnight, so we never see it again because it would take many years to perfect and then implement on every starship. Perhaps say 30 years or so after this, Barcleys transfiguration is the basis of the new shield norm.

    I'm sure this modification by Barclay was kept by Geordie, and was later sent probably to SCE (Starfleet Corps of Engineering) and Montgomery Scott, now the head of SCE probably researched it along with LaForge, and came to the conclusion it was a sound idea and was implemented in one way or another throughout the fleet. Larger ships would eventually have a secondary warp drive (Reference: The Ross Class) which could use its secondary warp reactor to further reinforce the shields and power phasers to unheard of levels.
    For smaller ships, additional generators like dilithium and fusion were added as a "interim" method until a small enough secondary warp reactor could be created. But it started with Barclay, and I wouldn't be surprised if Barclay was truly one of the Federation's finest minds. If not THE finest mind the Federation has produced. He compares favorably to Cochrane, Setar of Vulcan, Noonian Soong, Ira Graves, Nog of Ferenginar, Spock of Vulcan, and Reginald Barclay.

    Next a ship or outpost needs immediate help with no other ships in their vicinity.
    “Warp factor 7.”
    Next Troi’s mother is on board causing trouble, they need to deliver her home.
    “Warp factor Nine!”
    This probe starts nearing them potentially destroying ship.
    “Half impulse… full impulse! We should go.. warp factor 3!”
    Data recently impressed me in command of a ship. Somewhere to be right away.
    “Warp factor 9.3.”
    So I get stuck wondering about fuel economy or galactic speed limits and next thing I know the episode concludes leaving me wondering what I missed lost in my thoughts.

If the video is on mute, then this is a very slow-paced clip of the ship slowly moving away from the probe and not getting very far. Without the music, this scene is glacial, with only the cerebral implications to add any drama. The score, OTOH, is treating this like a pitched battle, and the contrast is almost comical.

      Barclay stepped ALL OVER the chain of command by going directly to the Captain. That is why Riker's angry. Barclay was right, but he ignored "the way things are done". Startfleet is still military enough that any junior officer bypassing his department head *and* the executive officer is sure to get in trouble. Being RIGHT and having so little time to act or explain the action would not necessarily save Barclay's backside. Picard thanking Barclay by name signaled "let it go" to Riker. The look on the female engineer's face says it - she knows Barclay really dove head first in a big pile of ... trouble. If Picard had said "Thank you, Mr LaForge" or "Thank you, Engineering"...Barclay would have been up on charges in an hour. Punishment would probably be light since they *are* still alive only because of Barclay but it would have been on his record.

That's a command decision that only Picard would make. But you get the feeling in the script, after Picard says a few lines, they give the remainder to Riker just so he has something to say. I mean, for all you know, PIcard's next line would be an irritated: "Screw that. Half impulse!"

    Worf only got green light because it wouldn't have any effect.
    Also, if they have to be so desperate to be overclocking their phasers, maybe Worf should honor that and not sweep the beam over the probe, but focus it on one point.
    But actually, if the regular one had zero effect, they should have known this wouldn't help either.
    I'd have moved away sooner, and gone to warp as soon as it was clear the probe was matching speed.
    Also, visually the distance is totally fine for photon torpedoes. ... And I also seem to remember you can prime those things with lower intensity.

The only one nonplussed about the whole thing was Data. You would think that if suddenly a member of your crew is the smartest human being ever, that you'd use him or her as an invaluable resource.

I'm glad that main characters have flaws to show they're just people, but, at least to me, his treatment of Barclay was just horrible. His rants about him were unprofessional and uncalled for. As a leader he should have taken his issues to Barclay himself, rather than rant to his colleagues the way he would. Unbecoming of someone in the military to boot.
