STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION | S6 KEY EPISODES PART 1 | FIRST TIME WATCHING

“That’s no moon . . . “ Props to Cassie for working in a Star Wars reference in a TNG episode. 😉

The fact that you teared up when you saw Scotty, warmed my heart. I knew you would love this episode.

My favorite story from Scotty (James Doohan) is when he was contacted by a fan who wanted to kill herself. Doohan wrote back to her to visit him at a Star Trek convention. James Doohan invited her to other conventions and talked nothing but nice things to her. After many other conventions he lost touch with her. Eight years later she wrote back to him to thank him for his friendship and how she just finished her Masters degree in engineering.

In Star Trek: The Original Series, Episode: By Any Other Name, Scotty is trying to get an alien drunk. He gets a bottle and the alien asks what it is. Scotty, quite drunk already, looks at the bottle, opens it and looks in it and sniffs it. He then says, "It's green." Data unknowingly does the same thing in Relics when Scotty asks what the drink is. James Doohan lost a finger on D-Day at Juno Beach. They did a great job of hiding it in TOS and this episode.

It's worth noting that despite the on-screen animosity, Ronny Cox, the actor that plays Captain Jellico, was well beloved while he was on set. And all of the seemingly harsh "demands" he made, like demanding Troi wear a standard uniform, were requests that those actors themselves had made throughout the years on set. He was simply being the voice of the cast that the producers were ignoring.

"Not a trekkie" -- You cried when scotty beamed in. You're one of us <3

Scotty: Shunt the deuterium from the main cryo-pump to the auxiliary tank Geordi: Er, the tank can't withstand that kind of pressure Scotty: [laughs] Where'd you... where'd you get that idea? Geordi: What do you mean, where did I get that idea? It's in the impulse engine specifications Scotty: Regulation 42/15 - Pressure Variances on the IRC Tank Storage? Geordi: Yeah Scotty: Forget it. I wrote it I will *love* that exchange until the day I die

Its so cute that she’s been a Scotty girl since her first star trek episode.

“Scotty walked so you could run.” - loved this observation.

37:57 "Your mother's foolhardy!" Damn. Jellico was lucky Beverly was back on board so she could treat that burn!
