YOUTUBE - The Best of Both Worlds Part 2 (TNG S4E1) | Star Trek Journey 182

What until the next episode it's called family but without spoilers it deals more with the aftermath I consider it a part 3 to it

I'm waiting for there rection to family with the next episode

I believe the 40 ships lost was the Local Sector fleet, plus any ships they could gather in a short period of time... such as the Excelsior-class Melbourne which was allegedly being retired in favor of the Nebuia-class Melbourne. By no means is that all of Starfleet.

I hope that Alex realizes he is in the bottom 4-5% of all Star Trek viewers here on Patreon and in the entire known galaxy (all four quadrants), thinking that BOBW Part 2 is anything less than A-S tier, which is close to split down the middle. I know that wrestlers go from baby face to heel on a whim for engagement, but this is far more real than fake soap opera acting and dancing around a ring pretending to do anything athletic (see what I did there?). *** I was a huge wrestling fan as a kid in the 80s, with all the great legends of wrestling, and I became a big fan again in the late 90s early 00s with that whole golden age of WCW vs WWE. I do think that wrestling is as demanding and crazy as any athletic event or competition in the world, and I truly admire it. I just like to rile people up for engagement. :) But honestly, I was not a big fan of the immediate tier ranking after the episode at all. I think episodes need rewatches, friend discussions (like you guys did together after the initial ranking), plus time and perspective to see and hear things we missed in the episode that could really affect how we grade it. I get the concept but at least for now, I didn’t like how it came off. I will also give it time and perspective (to be fair). Certain changes you guys have made along the way I initially disliked but later on came to really love, so who knows.

This is the first time TNG has used the big deflector dish as a weapon. Usually, it's just there to push debris out of the way of the ship as it flies through space. The one time before this that you saw the dish shoot a visible beam was in TOS Season 3 "The Paradise Syndrome" when Spock was trying to deflect the big asteroid from the planet with the Native American tribe on it (and Kirk had amnesia).

Guys remember the Roswell and Velcro comment!!!

Yes Starfleet knew about the Borg. Remember when Q forced the Enterprise to meet them? I am sure Picard gave Starfleet a full report about it.

The Borg destroyed nearly the entire fleet, not just the ships shown on screen. Starfleet had 40 ships at Wolf 359 to fight the Borg, and the Borg destroyed 39 of them. That has to be 10,000 people dead.

re: Is It The Same Cube From Q Who? Data says it has precisely the same dimensions to enforce the idea it's the same ship. But if you think about it, that doesn't mean anything. The Enterprise has precisely the same dimensions as the Yamato, they're both galaxy class. Because a cube is a geometric shape maybe we're less inclined to think of it as 'designed'. Is the cube a specific size with internal structure full of specific things - like any other ship? Or is it a fractal with a distributed design that can be scaled up or down to make a cube of any size? They say it has distributed power systems and there's lots of identical corridors, but there's also a "nursery" as you call it and some place with a table for upgrading drones. Are these specific places with purpose or are they general purpose areas being used for the task at hand? The jury is out.

So let me get this straight, you want to hold a video hostage, in order for people to leave likes before they've even seen the video? Come on, you're better than this. If you want to leave the video until the 2nd then do that, but don't farm likes with scummy tactics like this. Honestly makes me reevaluate even supporting you at all.

re: Borg Reproduction From this point forward it is assumed the Borg repopulate by assimilation and any children or babies you see have also been assimilated. It's believed that the Borg do not reproduce in the traditional sense.

If you ever wondered why all the television shows of the time had similar opening intros and end credits? The credits at the beginning and end of an episode are actually subject to SAG and actor’s individual contracts.

Omg I laughed so hard at the walking into the chair

Thanks guys for continuing this journey. Looking forward to this season. Some bangers coming and I can't wait to see you guys pop. Lol

So. You finally got me to become a patreon. Never did that for anyone, but I just had to see your reaction to S4E01. Also loved your reaction to family.

When Best of Both Worlds was being made , Patrick Stewart’s contract was being renegotiated. It was unclear if they would be able to come to an agreement on his new contract, so the episode was written in such a way that they could write him out if they wanted to and move Riker into the captain’s chair. There was a very real possibility that this would have been the last episode for Patrick Stewart.

Love the new title of “Rewriter’s Room” vs. “Gripes and Groans”! It fits a lot better with what you discuss in that segment

Hey! Thanks, guys! I didn't know you'd be doing that thank-you in the middle.

NERD ALERT! The saucer is the part that has the bridge we see in every episode. The star-drive section is the part that looks like a goose, which also has the battle bridge (this is where Riker was). The idea was that when Enterprise goes into battle, they put all the civilians on the saucer and send them away while the star drive section does all the fighting. However the writers scrapped this when they realized separating the saucer every time the Enterprise was in danger slowed down the story.

I took Picard at the window him questioning himself “Boldly Going” in the first place. Like what other horrifying things are out there.

Wolf 359 is actually a real place in space. It's one of earth's closest stars. Further than Alpha Century but still pretty close relatively speaking. It is a red dwarf star. Regarding the saucer section... The main bridge is on the top of the saucer section. Riker managed the return of Picard from the battle bridge that is in the star drive section, in the secondary hull. Recall Encounter at Farpoint when Picard sent the saucer section to Farpoint, while the star drive section attempted to evade Q.

Love the to-do list

Rest in Peace, Rich
