    One of our most favorite moments from Star Trek: The Next Generation!
    Season 3, Episode 10 - "The Defector".
    Picard (Patrick Stewart) at his prime, during the height of the Federation, facing off with his Romulan counterpart, the infamous Tomalak (played by the amazing Andreas Katsulas).
    With one word to Worf (Michael Dorn), and 1 click on the LCARS display, the might of the galaxy class Enterprise-D and the Klingons unite together, against the arrogant Romulans and the day is won :)

    Picard chose his words knowing full well the Klingons were listening. “We will die for a cause that is just and honourable” “are you willing to die today?” 😂👌

      If you listen very carefully around 1:29 when Picard asks "shall we die together?", you can hear Worf get an erection.

    Hands down one of the best moments in all star trek history. The way picard stands up to tomalok and then the sense of power when the klingons decloak. That mixed with the dramatic music makes this one to remember

      And it was at this moment that Tomalok realised the true power of the Federation. For they made more friends than the Romulans did. And having a powerful warrior race at your back, such as the Klingons, sent a shiver down his spine. For he knew at the moment that his people had the weaker hand. He knew they couldn’t bully the federation, or conquer them, as they had so many other races before them.

    Everyone says that there are 3 Klingon ships. But if we were in a shuttle craft looking at this, you would see a 4th ship on the back left. Its just out of camera. No confirmation on that, just what i believe. Awesome Scene!

    The screen on the Enterprise is amazing. It actually renders a full giant 3D head that changes angles with perspective. Actually seeing it in real life would be like talking to the wizard of oz every time. A giant head.

  • @tyguy6296
    @tyguy6296 Před 2 lety +14

    The best part about this was that even though Picard had this whole thing planned, he was still dead serious about the outcome of this encounter if the romulans didn't back down. Picard would absolutely have gone all the way here if left with no choice.
    The old man is calm, intelligent, diplomatic, and kind... But nobody is ever under the impression that he is not a total badass as well

    Awesome moment. But look how confident Picard is. Watching the new Picard series and this is night and day. I think the issue is the latter is more Patric Stewart drawing from Professor Xavier than Picard.
