I loved the music of this particular episode. it sounded ancient and haunting. The french horns really added a punch to it also. A really beautiful music piece.
-
You see here, with ACTING, Patrick Stewert sells you on the rather simple and budget bridge layout made for this episode and makes it FASCINATING.
-
It makes me so happy that we are all enjoying TNG so much still. This video was posted 10 days ago and it already has half a million views.
-
Worf's reaction to the captain taking ownership of his ship's failure seems to give Worf a sense of admiration. Love that tiny little half-second detail.
-
"That ship belongs in a museum"... Picard and Indiana Jones would have been good friends.
-
Captain, we are receiving a subspace message from Admiral Ackbar.
-
I've always liked the "faded trumpets" in the soundtrack, very evocative of a war fought centuries ago.
-
I love how they spend less than five minutes on the ship, watch a short recording then Picard is all "Well that's it, nothing else to see here". I love the idea of finding and exploring a thousand year old derelect. Or the episode with Scotty and the crashed Jenolen and the Dyson Sphere. I get it, it's tv, but it would be cool to have seen more of those things
-
An ancient battle cruiser with artificial gravity and an Earth-like atmosphere sustained for a thousand years! What a miracle!
-
Ancient derelict starships emitting distress calls. When has that ever turned out well in any sci-fi property?
-
To a 12 year old in 1989 this was the greatest show ever! That opening theme song had my ass marching up and down my room!!! So hyped.
-
I like how Worf smiles approvingly and respectfully at the captain's final words, wherein he applauds the courage of his crew, takes sole responsibility for their fate, and wants it to be recorded for all time that his crew behaved courageously.
-
Got to admit... I love the detail and the camera sweeps over that battle cruiser. Whoever made that model for the show, I think everyone was proud of it and wanted it shown off from every angle.
-
Season 3 was the last TNG season before showrunner Rick Berman introduced his rule that the music in the series had to be dull and inoffensive so as to not "overshadow" the action on screen. It's really a shame because as one can listen to here, music can add a lot.
-
I always love it when Picard gets to be the archeologist he always dreamed of being.
-
Apparently it was scripted but not filmed that Promellian technology heavily influenced the starship technology used by the Federation. They adapted the same kind of console layouts, and even power distribution systems because they were so well designed that they were too good not to copy. Hence why the bridge on board the ancient ship was almost identical to ones used by the Federation, and why Warf was so familiar with the console.
-
I don't remember this episode. Which means... There still is a new one for me to watch, after all these years!
-
It's genuinely impressive how well the visuals from this show have held up. This was almost 30 years ago.
-
The look of reverence on Worf’s face is priceless.
-
Extraordinary…it looks just like the stargazer bridge.
