Here's another one, an aft view this time: This planetary shot of the Starbase 234 planet in #StarTrekTNG's "Redemption II"↘️ (here seen in SD) is another very often re-used planet shot on #TNG. Thankfully, in the remastered HD episodes, the shot looks slightly different in most episodes.

Crusher: "This wall is hot"
La Forge (who has the ability to see heat) "Where?"
#SMH
#AllStarTrek #StarTrek #TNG #Disaster

#TNG S01E24, "We'll Always Have Paris". Picard refuses to go to therapy. "I can't compete with a ghost from his past," declaims Dr. Crusher--a line which will come back to haunt her six years later.

#TNG S01E25, "Conspiracy". Alien parasites have taken over the bodies of key admirals in Starfleet for nefarious purposes--an operation which continues more-or-less unhindered for the next five centuries.

This episode is a fucking banger. Camp scale off the charts. Almost unrecognizable as TNG.

#TNG S01E26, "The Neutral Zone". The D'deridex class is mother. There's an A and B plot too, I guess.

#TNG S02E01, "The Child". The USS Enterprise and Commander Riker's face are resurfaced at Utopia Planitia shipyards, with varying results. Sometimes a family is a single mom and a radioactive parasite. Sometimes a family is three dads and a fresh-faced acting ensign.

#TNG S02E02, "Where Silence has Lease". A postmodern nemesis flummoxes the Enterprise with modular arithmetic. Picard decides to kill everyone and retires to his quarters for some muzak.

#TNG S02E03, "Elementary, Dear Data". This episode is famously known as the "PBS Grand Slam", and was broadcast as an episode of "Mystery!", "Reading Rainbow", and "Wishbone" (with Data, of course, playing the titular dog). As previously mentioned, every holodeck is in fact sentient.

Jokes aside, this is Peak Star Trek.

#TNG S02E04, "The Outrageous Okona". Westley "The Dread Pirate Roberts" Crusher visits the Enterprise. Picard has no patience for Zoom calls.

Alt...

Captain Okona being all handsome & roguish

#TNG S02E05, "Loud as a Whisper". Starring Howie Seago, Deaf actor and director! Neat to see so much sign in an episode, and from 1989 no less.

#TNG S02E06, "The Schizoid Man". Horny Jared Harris possesses Brent Spiner.

#TNG S02E07, "Unnatural Selection". Genetic engineers inadvertently build sentient, adorable bioweapons which kill twenty seven people, and are then consigned to live out their lives in isolation. "I guess this is the price of progress", says Pulaski.

#TNG S02E08, "A Matter of Honor". Riker proposes a three-way with two of his subordinates, then initiates a successful coup.

#TNG S02E09, "The Measure of a Man". The Federation is a post-scarcity socialist utopia with an adversarial legal system. I think Star Trek is at its strongest when disciplined people differ with integrity, and this episode holds Picard, Riker, and the vigorous Captain Louvois in the courtroom balance.

The real heart of the episode is Goldberg sliding in the knife: "Whole generations of disposable people." "That's a truth that we've obscured behind a comfortable, easy euphemism: property."

#TNG S02E10, "The Dauphin". Draped to within an inch of her life, Animorph Kate Bush throws the entire crew into romantic chaos.

"I dream of a galaxy where your eyes are the stars and the universe worships the night".

#TNG S02E11, "Contagion". The Yamato, the Enterprise's sister ship, gets scanned by a weird probe and then explodes. Captain Picard, not wanting to be left out of the fun, immediately sets out to do the same.

I think this is the first time he orders "Tea, Earl Grey, hot."

#TNG S02E12, "The Royale". The Enterprise discovers the final, tacky resting place of Dave Bowman.

#TNG S02E13, "Time Squared". Riker tries scat, then makes a hash of an omelette. Dr Pulaski mixes uppers and downers. The Enterprise is destroyed, which becomes an annual tradition. Picard murders another captain in cold blood.

#TNG S02E14, "The Icarus Factor". Riker's ex-Daddy rolls up, and makes things weirdly horny for lots of people. Geordi, Data, and Wesley arrange an electro scene for Commander Worf.

#TNG S02E15, "Pen Pals". I imagine Betazoids struggle with holodecks in the same way that dogs can get stressed out by statues. Sure, it *looks* like they're real, but they don't smell right.

Speaking of, Data abducts a child from her home, then wipes her memory.

#TNG S02E16, "Q Who". John De Lancie is allowed to consume every set in a thirty kilometer radius, and I for one approve.

Geordi is a good egg.

OG Borg feel positively cute compared to the Voyager-era terrors I remember.

#TNG S02E17, "Samaritan Snare". The Enterprise encounters a himbo bear polycule. Wesley has a huge crush on Picard and will not shut up about it.

#TNG S02E18, "Up the Long Ladder". Riker hooks up with a tradwife, then kills himself.

#TNG S02E19, "Manhunt". Auntie Mame is politically and sexually unstoppable.

#TNG S02E20, "The Emissary". Suzie Plakson singlehandedly invents drag.

Alt...

K'Ehleyr, a Klingon-human hybrid, looking extremely fierce

#TNG S02E21, "Peak Performance". Commander Data, who loses at poker weekly to his crewmates, loses a game of strategema to a galaxy-renowned champion and spirals into depression.

#TNG S02E22, "Shades of Grey". Dr. Pulaski lays the groundwork for S06E21, "Frame of Mind".

#TNG S03E01, "Evolution". A new Starfleet technology, inertial intensifiers, is deployed to the fleet. This technology works like a mass damper, throwing the ship's crew and contents about in order to stabilize the hull.

#TNG S03E02, "The Ensigns of Command". When logic fails, Lieutenant Commander Data shoots three civilians and blows up a colony's water supply.

#TNG S03E03, "The Survivors". Lieutenant Commander Troi hears Padam Padam for the first time.

#TNG S03E04, "Who watches the watchers". This is good Star Trek. Characters wrestling with a moral dilemma and doing their best to act with integrity.

#TNG S03E05, "The Bonding". One of the things I really appreciate about revisiting Next Gen is that the show is willing to talk about grief and loss with an earnest heart.

#TNG S03E06, "Booby Trap". Lieutenant Commander La Forge makes out with a deepfake of the Enterprise's propulsion designer.

#TNG S03E07, "The Enemy". Romulans are dicks.

#TNG S03E08, "The Price". Everyone wants the Barzan's hole, but the hole plays hard to get. Riker is a model of poly ethics.

#TNG S03E09, "The Vengeance Factor". Riker hooks up with a submissive bioweapon.

This planetary shot of the Starbase 234 planet in #StarTrekTNG's "Redemption II"↘️ (here seen in SD) is the most often re-used planet shot on #TNG. Thankfully, in the remastered episodes, the shot looks slightly different in most episodes.
