Star Trek TNG: Episode 17 - When The Bough Breaks

A planet in which everyone is sterile do to radiation, plans on kidnapping the kids from the Enterprise. They end up being really nice people so Picard lets them go. Pretty stupid actually. Not even the great Jerry Hardin (from season 1 of X-Files) could save this one. The dumbest part was when Will Crusher saves the kids by starting a peaceful resistance movement. Just the kind of excitement Star Trek needs!

Kids on enterprise...so dumb.

It does sem like a weird idea. I know they are not a war ship ... but it's mission is actually incredibely dangerous.

Yeah, the idea of the Enterprise being an exploration vessel feels kind of flimsy when every week, the Enterprise is almost destroyed.

Mugato said...

I know. A ship full of children would most likely rarely be in harms way ... never mind over 160 times

When they set out, Starfleet was probably like, "So, remember, Picard: the saucer section splits off from the rest of the ship, so if you get into trouble, leave the families of the crew members in a safe location while you go into battle."

And he was all like, "Oh yeah, I'm totally going to do that."

Then later Riker was like, "Hey, so what was that all about? What did they tell you?"

And Picard goes, "Nothin' don't worry about it. Just the brass being a bunch of pussies."

Worf: "Sir, we're about to enter Romulan space. Should we Separate the saucer section?"

Picard: "Are you shitting me? Why the fuck would we do that?"

Worf: "... Because we might go into battle."

Picard: "We're a fucking Starfleet vessel! Did those assholes think they were going on god damned Carnival Cruise? Fuck 'em! Full speed ahead, mr. Worf"

Worf: "..."

Picard: "Today, mother fucker! Today!"

Worf: "Sir, I really think..."

Picard: "Jesus Christ. Is this about Alexander? I'd be doing you a favor if I got us into some shit that killed that little dog-faced mother fucker."

I'll just stop now. This would be a good episode though.

Picard enters the transporter room.

Picard: "Hello."

O'Brien: "Hello, Captain. What brings you here? Need me to transport you?"

Picard: "Nah, I'm cool. Just wanted to check things out. What's up, Frank Martin?"

O'Brien: "Frank Martin, sir? My name is Miles O'Brien."

Picard: "I know your fuckin' name, man. It was a joke. Frank Martin?"

O'Brien: "..."

Picard: "You never saw any of the Transporter movies? You're the fucking transporter chief and you never even checked out the first Transporter?"

O'Brien: "I'm sorry sir. I've been busy."

Picard: "Oh yeah, what's up?"

O'Brien: "Well, my wife Keiko just gave birth to our daughter, sir."

Picard: "No shit?"

O'Brien: "Yes sir. We're overjoyed."

Picard: "Overjoyed? You should be fucking terrified. You want to have a god damned Borg baby? Cause that's what's gonna happen."

O'Brien: "... sir?"

Picard: "I was a Borg, you know? They got me -- the fucking captain of this ship. You think they won't get your baby? Why the fuck would you bring a baby into this shit? Are you fucking retarded?"

Anyway... I'm going to bed.

Weird that they would have a person named miles in the future. Seems like his name would be kilometer obrien

Mugato said...

Picard is already a jerk, never mind acting like this. That being said, this would be awesome
