Oh, for that moment the F-word was said:
TNG Season 4: "Galaxy's Child"
"Fouled" being the F-word du jour. The implication is that Leah ain't happy. And in the 24th century where everyone is shiny happy people unless they say "
merde" and amazingly he didn't say that about the Borg but I digress, this is comparatively momentous.
I rather like the inference as how the chief designer-with-the-cool-earrings is at Utopia Planetia and is obviously reading up the chief engineers' logs of all the ships she'd directly designed for. All that is a nice subtle touch to this episode as she too looks for "in the field" usage for inspiration to innovate upon. Nothing exists in a vacuum, not even outer space
. If "Darmok" is an all-time great despite having used "Arena" as a partial springboard and it's not like "Arena" didn't have influences for inspiration either.
Wait, we're only supposed to see the split screen action here:
(Um, the computer's 9.37% margin created the cringe dialogue about "when you're touching it", he did not ask for that at all in the "Booby Trap" story. Guess what's coming up soon in my rewatch list, it's "Galaxy's Child" for sure...)
And, no, Geordi did not make one program for every day of the week or every mood. He even told Barclay that there's a difference between holodeck simulations and reality in another episode (the one where Barclay makes stunt doubles of the bridge crew as actual playthings. I don't even want to think what Riker creates while in there, yuck!)
Okay, the usual trope in Star Trek on how life forms can travel slower than the speed of light but otherwise live in space - at least near asteroid fields or something that would have life-sustaining energy for it since life isn't always carbon-based globs the way all of us fritters on Earth are...
(The scene just about starts with a great camera angle of the ship coming in view from behind, with Junior relishing every "sip" of energy. Be glad it latched onto the neck near the cargo bays and not directly atop the hull where the warp core would be housed a few decks below.)
There are a few cringey scenes in this episode, true. Geordi's "Is that so?" while forgetting he was talking to a computer-generated simulation that had a 9.37% margin of error and based on a limited set of source material that could not include restricted personal records, takes the cake.
(Turn up the bass, y'all! Also, his hair - is it possible to combine a flat top with mullet as that mig--- wait just a mo', what song reference did you
really think I was going to put up?!
)
