Every time I watch combat on the ground in Trek and get the urge to make a snarky comment as an infantryman, I have to remind myself that they aren't doing too badly, for sailors. XD
-
In this scene you can quite clearly see that both sides were trained by highly skilled Storm Troopers.
-
I love that the first thing Riker does is search for a suitable rock to put his foot on.
-
0:42 These blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise.
-
One thing I love about this episode is that, with data in command, he mimics Picard's body language and manner of speaking. It's a great little touch how much Data pays attention and makes a good command officer.
-
As cadets they attend Starfleet Academy for Astrophysics and Warp Theory but they're taught shooting at Crazy Uncle Sheev's Storm Trooper Weapon's Training and Shooting Range
-
DATA deserved his own series. Brent Spiner makes me laugh. What a talent.
-
There’s a great subtle moment in the episode when Data is in command and Geordi calls him, matter-of-factly, "Commander" instead of "Data" because he is not addressing him as his friend but as his commanding officer.
-
It looks like Starfleet has been outsourcing weapon training to the Stormtrooper Academy
-
With shooting like that, I'm not surprised Worf lost to Guinan in that targeting game.
-
One thing that always got me about these phaser battles is in one episode they can create caverns out of rock with a single blast and in the next the phasers cant even penetrate a few small rocks.
-
The first thing Riker does is to find a rock, and assertively put his foot on it. True leadership, right there.
-
Man, sure is lucky for LaForge someone had recently been out in the woods stacking phaser-proof rocks into tidy little walls he could jump behind.
-
I love how a random team of what are pretty much pirates are just so damned good that an away team from the flagship can't stop them on the ground, and the ship can't stop theirs in orbit.
-
I'll give LaForge alot of credit, for having to act through this series with a small automobile air cleaner wrapped around his eyes.
-
Brent Spiner is an amazing actor. Look at Data’s body language as he sits in the big chair - perfectly mimicking the way Picard often sits. It is even more notable later in the episode when Troi sits next to him, and when they are in the conference room and he tents his fingers while chairing the meeting.
-
I always laugh when Geordi puts his foot on a rock to match Riker's pose. 😆
-
They could have disabled the mercenary ship before it fired — but that would destroy the plot 😂
-
"The com system is being jammed." "What is the source?" "My wooden acting."
-
Enemy crew runs directly up to Worf’s commanding officer. One of them takes the time to bend down and check his pulse. Worf just stares and doesn’t fire back. Good job Chief Security Officer. Maybe you’re better off on a deep space assignment somewhere.
