Mine, oddly, is when Data is watching Picard sleep
Someone else said my favorite one so ill go with another that i like a lot.
The scene with picard and wesley and picard gives him the speech about telling the truth.
The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether it’s scientific truth or historical truth or personal truth! It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based. And if you can’t find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, you don’t deserve to wear that uniform!
Bonus: My favorite silly moment was when time was stopped/very slowed and picard draws a smiley face in a warp core breach
Picard breaking down in the mud with his brother about his assimilation.
When data gets the emotion chip and tries drinking. “I hate this”, takes another sip, “oh yes! I hate this! This is revolting!”.
Guinan: “More?”
Data: “Please.”
technically; that was a movie, not tng.
Oh shoot, you’re right.
The scene where all of those underdeveloped people come on board the Enterprise with their animals and one woman is shouting throughout the whole deck. Patrick Stewart lost it at this point, turns away from the camera and starts to laugh uncontrollably. But they kept the camera rolling and the scene turned out great!
Edit: It’s S02E18 “Up the Long Ladder”
Is that the one they start a fire in the area they’re in and then get shown the replicator? If so that general one always stuck though been many years now, but don’t recall the laughing offhand. I’ll have to watch for Stewart laughing, I love those kinds of reactions.
Yes that’s the one, with the drunk guy. The episode is so over the top, I love it.
Hah I always confused the name with that one with the episode Disaster (had to look it up Picard and kids winning something), no wonder I rarely watched it. Cause I’m pretty sure they go up ladders in turbolifts in that one so just thought that was that episode. But I recall liking the backwards people starting fires. To be fair I don’t watch much TNG these days but still my favorite series by far (also haven’t watch a series since Enterprise so may need to catch up).
When Picard updates the 21th century scientist on what changed after the warp drive, in First Contact. That was the scene that convinced me to start watching star trek, thanks to a YouTube video about post-scarcity economy
From the series, some scenes from Measure of a Man would be an easy choice, but I actually probably prefer when Troi helps, again, the woman from the past find her family tree on the computer, don’t remember the episode name
Data/Sherlok sceses when the highly intelligent villain becomes sentient are also cool
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra !!
Darmok and Jalad, on the ocean.
The scene with Picard and the Romulan. The whole thing including the tea scene at the start with Beverly.
The moment where Picard says, “we have no law to fit your crime.”
Picard on the first duty.
The one where a Stone Age type of civilization is visited and members accidentally reveal themselves to the inhabitants. Then they think Pircard is a god and a cult/religion begins to form. I think it is called “The Picard”
Who Watches The Watchers
Shut up! As in close your mouth and stop talking!
Picard in the Observation Lounge with Nuria, the Mintakan.
I find it incredibly moving
I forget why, but Picard and Riker are away, Data is in command with Worf as his first officer. Data wants to be analytical and consider all options, Worf wants to fire all phasers and die in glorious battle. Data comes to a decision and gives orders, and Worf says “Finally!”
Data asks to see him in the ready room, and then dresses him down for talking back to him in front of the crew. They hash out what they expect the role of second in command is supposed to be, and with the military shit out of the way, Data then acknowledges that this dressing down may have damaged their friendship, and Worf replies that no, he was out of line so it was his fault, that he acknowledges that he was out of line and if we can overlook this incident he’d like to continue being friends.
Stated problems, voiced objections, addrressed objections, no personal slights, no raised voices, actual accountability expected and accepted…manliest conversation ever filmed.
Great scene.
Gambet, part 2, I believe.
That scene is wonderful, and gave me entirely unrealistic expectations for my workplace.
Did work end up being more like being on a Klingon ship or Borg?
Pakled.
So you are not wearing the big hat, I presume.
my hat is barely big enough to make this post.
THERE ARE 4 LIGHTS!!!
The byline for everyone around but not in the Trump administration right now.
I’m Indigenous Canadian and my dad was born in the wilderness in a very traditional lifestyle in northern Ontario. His first and only language was Ojibway/Cree, he understood English but seldom spoke it as he preferred his our language only.
As a teen in the 90s I loved watched TNG and I watched it as often as I could whenever I could. I never stuck to a schedule and we only had the most basic satellite TV package we could afford at the time. I was so engrossed and loved the show so much that my dad at one point asked me … ‘It’s amazing that people are up there now that are doing all those things’
I had to explain to him that it was all just as show that was fake and that none of it was real.
To me … this is my favourite TNG moment … that the show was so convincing and well performed that it made my dad believe that it was real.
To be fair, my dad was probably the most intelligent person I’ve ever known and an excellent teacher. In his prime, he often just walked into the wilderness with nothing but a knife in the fall and came back midwinter with a stack of furs to trade and make money and then head back out again with very little to survive on. He just wasn’t that aware of what the outside world was all about.
The court scene in Drumhead where Picard refutes accusations of being a traitor by essentially quoting an IWW mantra and core tenant of Anarchism.
Bonus follow-up discussion with Worf after the trial.
Additional bonus, the IWW still operates to this day, and will gladly help train and support anyone to unionize their workplace, blue collar or white collar.
I came to put this scene in. But this comment informed me. I know of the IWW, but had never made the connection. Top notch comment, this.
