Love this ep partly because the Exocomps remind me of my little Strolling Bowling guy.
I love it. Strong A.
From the looks of the patron rating for this episode, sounds like it was mostly the salty people who hate this episode for no logical reason who were making comments The normal people who enjoy the episode were content to just give it a high grade 😂
I just think it’s funny that in the time of Star Trek they seem to have this problem, they keep producing life by accident. Whether it be on the holodeck or by something that they build. Too bad producing life isn’t really that easy. But this is science fiction,
You are right. Patreons are wrong. S-Tier.
What I learn from Patron Takes is that I’m much pickier than most. Should speak with my therapist. D.
To me, this skirts the area of B+, A- ( re-evaluated this, it's a solid A), but I gave it an A. This is one of those solitary episodes that Alex was referencing last episode where you could show this to a new Trek person and it'd be a good microcosm of what TOS/TNG are all about. As spectacular as Yesterday's Enterprise is, you couldn't do that with that or a lot of the other episodes. Maybe even Inner Light b/c it mainly takes place in that lost civilization rather than in the regular Enterprise/TNG world. edit: Ok, I just rewatched this with you guys and it's at least a solid A
Solid A tier. The Exocomps are just so damn cute, but Data trying to Measure of a Man for them is what makes this such a solid episode.
Remember this being an A but forget all the small things that make it a true S
Long time YouTube lurker who recently became a Patron. I’ve been voting on these by my memory of the episodes, then watch the review. I give it an A, but you all made good arguments for why it should be an S.
I give it an A. Don't like it? Talk to my phaser (on lowest stun setting, of course)
The "Evolution" re-imagining we didn't really need. Unless you absolutely HATE Dr. Stubbs of course. Adding some "Measure of a Man"-like lines didn't fool me: It's a C. Not awful. Not special.
'B' for me. Like it, and it does star trek as good as any star trek - but it's nothing 'new' in this. Even beverly's message of the struggle being the point is pure rehash. The delivery is great, which is why it's still A, but it really does lack originality.
The struggle thing is made even weaker by the fact that she's practically quoting Data's answers to Lal when she's saying it, back to him.
This is a really cool story and a pretty good episode. It suffers from the casting of the female lead and some sort of cheesy special effects along the way. But conceptually it’s a winner
TNG is my fave show of all time and this channel reminds me why over and over again. Taking episodes that "bored" me when I was 15 because there weren't fancy special effects or cool ship porn and reminding me 30+ years later why there is so much more to it. When Josh said he didn't know if he would be this attached to another group of people in a show like this again, I felt that. I know this is just a television show, but they are home to me.
A tier? It’s just not that compelling.
I should have elaborated I find it unnecessary for Data to lock down the computer because it felt like it was done to manufacture the drama the episode was so lacking. It seems to me Data could have spoken to Riker in private and they would have come to the same logical resolution. Maybe even have saved some time. Riker's not a monster! Also it feels like in the time they spent deliberating they could have gotten a shuttle to the particle stream. On top of that I don't think the guest performance is the good.
I like this episode as it is but I really like this episode for other reasons.
Like most TNG episodes, I’d have to watch on my own again before making a decision.
This episode does very little for me. It has some interesting ideas and Data Taking A Stand is usually pretty good, but something about the execution on this falls flat for me. The guest stars are meh, and the exocomps themselves are an okay prop, but we had this story already. It opened Season 3 and the boys hated that guest star.
This episode walked so Peanut Hamper could run.
Love this episode. Definitely S rating for me. Data relates to the exo-comps.
Agree completely.
I always forget this episode exists. Season 6 is full of bangers or fleshed out retreads of earlier seasons. This definitely felt like it should have been a S3 Wesley episode
