TNG s1.ep9 - The Battle - #TNGSunNight LiveTweet Roll
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight
I really appreciate this juxtaposition.
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight ImageImage
In which we learn that Picard is too shy to ask for a flu shot. #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
"Shall we meet on your vessel or mine?"
"Mine. Otherwise we have to build a different set."
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
24th century colonoscopies are weird. #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
Wesley Wonderstripes! #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
Can anyone tell me what is casting this shadow? #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
"Data is secondhand merchandise."
"Why are we looking at Tasha?"
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight
This is a great example of how one person will remember the grand and momentus "Battle of Maxia," and to someone else, it's Tuesday in Space. #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight
I love the opportunity to show us the gaps in Starfleet Technology that the series has leapfrogged. #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
"I'm fine, everyone."
Narrator: He was not fine.
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight ImageImage
One of our first solid Conference Table Shots. #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
And the modest introduction of the famous Picard Maneuver. #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
Usually when you go back to your old job, it's not all boarded up like this. #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
"I'm going to look at my old cabin. I...left some stuff in there." #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
"The one designed to mess with his head works fine! Now make one shaped like his body!" #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight ImageImage
How does anyone sleep on a Starfleet bed? #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
"Sir? Do you want to hear the log, or should I leave you alone with your emotional crisis?"
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
Now that we can rather easily spoof people's voices, it's hard to see Picard's Log being such a major drama point in the 24th century. #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight
I see the Ferengi brought plenty of propane to gaslight the Enterprise with. #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
"Sir! Your Happy Fun Ball readings are off the charts!"
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight ImageImageImage
"Can you play the dream program with the unicorns that you play for Wesley?"
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight ImageImage
"THESE ARE NOT UNICORNS!"
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight ImageImageImage
Does Riker not know what "checks and discrepancies" means? #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight
"As you can see, the Captain is generally pretty messed up right here, here, and here."
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
"You're welcome, ladies."
# of times people have snapped at Wesley this episode when he's the one with the answers - 3
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight ImageImage
Warning: Ambien may cause sleep beaming. Please use cautiously.
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
We're all going to find out together what happens when you Taunt Happy Fun Ball!
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
"I'm just *beside* myself when he's not here!"
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
The uplink between Happy Fun Balls is another example of technology that seems pretty obvious to us today, but was a heck of a leap for 80's television.
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight ImageImage
And something about this seems to fly in the face of the existing holodeck technology that they have. I guess the Federation just isn't keen to beam video games directly into people's brains.
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight ImageImageImage
They rely on the trope that Picard can be easily mentally manipulated a *lot*.
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight
I do earnestly love these effects, though.
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
"There was no profit in this venture. If anything, it cost them money. They're debating an execution, sir."
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight Image
And that was a weird way to wrap up that episode, but okay! The moral of the story is, doctoring military records gets you nowhere, no matter how big your Happy Fun Balls are!
#TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight
Great watch, everyone 🖖! Next Week - not this again!

Tonight I'll try to collect my tweets under a threadroll :) #TOSSatNight
So we have a plague and we need a drug. I need to know how different the replicators are between Kirk and Picard's Enterprises. #TOSSatNight
Oh, sure, solve all your problems with lasers. #TOSSatNight
