...the language with #StarTrek.
Over several years, I recorded all the episodes of #TNG at home this way, and during later Star Trek nights, we would watch the episodes together in English. Voyager also aired on Dutch television a few years later, allowing me to watch those episodes in English as well - I think some of them even before they were first shown on German TV on Sat.1.
After some years, however, we could no longer receive the Dutch TV channels at home, and suddenly...3/6

And the pages chosen from the Annotated Shakespeare vol. I fit perfectly as well, as they were the last pages from vol. I ever seen on #TNG, namely in #StarTrekTNG's "Face of the Enemy"↙️: #StarTrekPicard season 3's "The Next Generation" picks up right where #TNG left off - very fitting indeed!😊 7/12

Fast forward to February 16th, 2023 when the #StarTrekPicard season 3 opener "The Next Generation" first aired and I finally found out which scenes those Shakespeare pages were needed for: Picard receives Beverly's distress call on his old #TNG communicator badge - "a tie to Beverly" indeed! 😅 5/12

My friend Trevor was driving on #SaltSpring Island, years ago, when his motorbike broke down. So he decides to #hitchhike into town. A pickup stops for him, Trevor geys in and the driver asks: "To town?"

My friend responds: "Make it so!"

The pickup driver was #PatrickStewart.

I'm not gonna lie, I teared up multiple times yesterday over Patrick Stewart's death and dang it if I didn't do it again today. This is too much crying about an actor. But he was just an all-around excellent dude, and the character he played so well in Star Trek has a special place in my history, and he suffered a tragic illness at the end, which I hadn't heard about before, and it's all got me sad. #StarTrek #TNG

Make it so.

Figured this can do with a meme ;-)

Dinner was good btw. I had a goat cheese salad instead of duck.

Darmok and Picard. Datacenter. When the duck appeared.

No! Not Patrick Stewart!

This one hurts, people.

Time to rewatch Darmok.

Any other Jean-Luc Picard faves I should rewatch?

He had some great roles, but TNG was special to me, and it would not have worked had it not been anchored by the dignity and gravitas of Jean-Luc Picard.

Thank you, Patrick: you meant a whole lot to a whole lot of nerds. 🙏

My friend Trevor spent some time on #SaltSpring Island where hitch-hiking is a common form of transport. One day, Trevor gets into a pickup which had stopped for him. "To town?", the driver asks. Trevor responds: "Make it so!."

The driver was #PatrickStewart.

#RIP #TNG #StarTrek

Oh Captain, my Captain! #rip #PatrickStewart #StarTrek #TNG

"Seize the time, Meribor - live now. Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again."

RIP Patrick Stewart 🖤 why do only the good ones go...

Oh man, words won't do justice to how it feels seeing that Patrick Stewart has died.

For me, he'll always be Jean-Luc Picard, who in my adolescence was this towering figure of what it meant to be a good person and a good man on my TV screen every day. Nobody else has been able to do what TNG did, and I'm not sure anyone else could do what Stewart did.

Damn.

May I add that Gene Roddenberry's co-writers/producers Herb Solow, Bob Justman, and Fred Freiberger were #jewish , too, not withstanding Roddenberry's antisemitism. For #StaTrek #TNG and following he got Rick Berman and Michael Piller, for example.

Door 3 is only used in one single episode, namely in #StarTrekTNG's "Ensign Ro"⬆️. Notice how the set is nicely connected to a familiar, pre-existing door, the one on the left side ⬅️ of the small turbolift niche on the main corridor set ⬇️. For some reason, that door is never used again on #TNG, 6/9

It seems the small red 24th century labels on the side of the transporter platform (#StarTrekTNG's "The Mind's Eye"⬆️) were simply removed for "Star Trek VI: The Undiscoversy Country" (middle). For season 5 of #TNG ("Ensign Ro"⬇️) the white tape was replaced leaving less space for the new red labels.

At the moment, I'm covering season 5 episodes of #StarTrekTNG. Back when #TNG was remastered in HD, I wrote an article for each episode (until late season 6) covering changes done for the remastering, bloopers, cool visual details, starships etc... 2/10

Here's another comparison of the "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" shuttle ⬆️ and its re-use as the (shortened) type 6 shuttle on #StarTrekTNG (here: "Darmok"). You can see how the raw metal superstructure still visible in the film has been hidden behind beige wall pieces on #TNG.

In these shots from #StarTrekTNG's "Darmok"⬇️ and "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier"⬆️, you can see how the large Enterprise-A shuttle from the film was modified to be re-used as the new type 6 shuttle on #TNG. Notice the same position of the wraparound LCARS display.
