2024-06-27 06:24:10 +0000 UTCit's not that great but at least it makes me chuckle a few times.

2024-06-26 16:37:07 +0000 UTCI think so. Back in the day there were several sex-themed shows on mainstream TV here in in Europe. "Reporting" about swinger clubs, porn actors and so on. The fashion industry also was very into it. Ever heard of "porn chic"?

2024-06-26 14:42:51 +0000 UTC90's obsession? Like it's cooled off since then???
Monty Crawford
2024-06-26 01:09:58 +0000 UTCI was as excited as I was bored. Not once did I buy into Picards assistance and comradery lending itself out, but in the end he deceives Vash, and the 27th centurians.
Patrick Smith
2024-06-25 17:17:31 +0000 UTCIt looks like Next Gen finally gets its equivalent of Harry Mudd in Vash. Fun episode, good but not great.

2024-06-25 14:57:40 +0000 UTCHair down. Lol

Shawn Indigo
2024-06-25 10:50:04 +0000 UTCWell... It's about time Picard push the beds together. Don't worry, this'll prep you for the MANY scenes in GOT where you realize you are watching Corn with your friend & coworker. 😳🖖

2024-06-25 09:55:58 +0000 UTCNever heard of Indiana Jones?
Sam Langanke
2024-06-25 09:52:06 +0000 UTCThat escalated. Never even heard about the affair until this thread, and now they were engaged...? If so, clearly didn't work out, which only confirms my assertion that they had no chemistry. :)
Andy Frankham-Allen
2024-06-25 07:34:08 +0000 UTCThe episode that ended Patrick Stewart's first marriage! His wife Sheila Falconer and their kids were still living in England and Stewart would spend half the year in the UK and half in Los Angeles. He started having an affair with Vash actress Jennifer Hetrick after they met filming this episode. When Sheila visited him in California, she suspected that he was seeing somebody and he admitted it. They got divorced and Patrick reportedly got engaged to Jennifer, though they never ended up marrying.
Regan
2024-06-25 07:16:52 +0000 UTCNo chemistry? The two actors ended up getting engaged. Though they never married.
Regan
2024-06-25 07:09:26 +0000 UTCHe's also in the scene where Vash slips the disc into Picard's pocket. Sitting in the background wearing the same outfit as the opening scene.

2024-06-25 04:23:42 +0000 UTCHis voice! Like Sean Connery's voice. Instantly recognizable. (And to some, quite irresistible.)
John
2024-06-25 00:00:14 +0000 UTCIt's my personal belief that this episode, with certain ones soon after it, led to TV GUIDE proclaiming Stewart as "The Sexiest Man on T.V." in 1992. Suddenly, he was seen as the Indiana Jones of Sci-Fi. I was in college at the time, where many girls I knew, including my girlfriend, thought he was "sexy".
THE Fans
2024-06-24 23:13:47 +0000 UTCBy no means exceptional, but tremendous fun. Great chemistry between Picard and Vash. Angrily slamming a heavy book shut is so Picard.

2024-06-24 22:58:40 +0000 UTCAnother treat the captain like a kid act from Riker and Troi who at this point I'd be reminding that career advancement in starfleet requires that they transfer around to other ships more frequently.
Alan Thompson
2024-06-24 22:28:17 +0000 UTC(Star-Trek-Eye-Borg) This is my FAVORITE episode!!!! No, not really. It isn't bad though.
startrekiborg
2024-06-24 20:30:42 +0000 UTCThat’s cool. I never knew that or looked it up, but I had wondered if they had ever sneaked Michael Dorn in amongst the background extras.
Leo Greenwood
2024-06-24 19:25:34 +0000 UTCi always enjoyed this episode. it’s nice to see picard with his hair down. it definitely has tomb raider vibes before tomb raider existed with jennifer hetrick.
David Marcoot
2024-06-24 19:14:42 +0000 UTCRiker assumes that the target is the horga’hn, and that Picard is being swarmed by women.
Leo Greenwood
2024-06-24 19:14:23 +0000 UTCPicard is pretty shrewd and knows fun loving Riker very well, so I don’t understand why he’d take a vacation on a planet recommended by Riker, and, wouldn’t be suspicious of Riker’s souvenir request. I don’t object to “fun” episodes, but this one’s not a favorite.
Leo Greenwood
2024-06-24 19:12:40 +0000 UTC#1 thing I remember from this episode (which enjoyed) is Picard's pronouncing of "privacy"
Mike Rogers
2024-06-24 18:59:45 +0000 UTCFair episode with a ton of great individual scenes.
Greg Quinn
2024-06-24 17:55:33 +0000 UTCInteresting that the transporter has a protocol for violently exploding something. And pretty funny that Riker never brings up to Picard why he needed to urgently blow something up at the end of his vacation.
JGoss
2024-06-24 17:37:07 +0000 UTCThat would be news to me. Where did you read that?
JGoss
2024-06-24 17:34:51 +0000 UTCThis is also a Star Trek episode. But this time with banging.
JGoss
2024-06-24 17:33:08 +0000 UTCThose shorts Picard wore while lounging wound up selling for quite a bit of money. Even Vash’s dress went for like $2,000 from Christie’s, a big auction house. And that was back in 2006 dollars.
Brian Moore
2024-06-24 17:28:30 +0000 UTCThis episode is the fufillment of Stewart's take to young Ronald D. Moore that "The Captain doesn't get enough fighting or f#%king."
Nolan
2024-06-24 16:49:50 +0000 UTCTroi also knows what the statue means. Says nothing :)
Miah1138
2024-06-24 16:26:09 +0000 UTCPrediction: you both will like, but not love the episode. It is well done. Fun fact Michael Dorn is in the first Risa scene without the makeup on.
Miah1138
2024-06-24 16:25:28 +0000 UTCI heard they had an affair in real life.
Philbot
2024-06-24 16:23:17 +0000 UTCI think so there’s the whole tinder hookup culture who would be cool with Horgons. I mean, no reason wanted to hook up with me, but I’ve heard people do it..
Philbot
2024-06-24 16:22:22 +0000 UTCIt’s a fixed point like Doctor who they can’t change it. That’s why I always thought “they didn’t go back again.”
Philbot
2024-06-24 16:20:38 +0000 UTCI’ve always liked this one. I don’t know what you guys will think of it though.
Philbot
2024-06-24 16:18:56 +0000 UTCI remember this one when it first aired. I was maybe 11. Thought the Vorgons were a neat looking alien and that's about it. Nice that the Federation has Space Hawaii--errr, that is, Risa to be a designated vacation planet. Vash never did much for me, though.
Alexander McKechnie
2024-06-24 16:08:19 +0000 UTCThe behind the scenes chemistry between Patrick Stewart and Jennifer Hetrick was apparently greater than their on screen chemistry, as they were together for 2 years after filming this.
Glenn Johnson Barnes
2024-06-24 16:06:19 +0000 UTCThe plot here ends up being pretty stupid, but it doesn't seem to matter. It's like they had this good character story for Picard and then had to increase the stakes at the end for some reason. Just make everyone a treasure hunter.
Nerd's Gold
2024-06-24 15:17:10 +0000 UTCOne of those episodes I always skip. The beginning is fun but the actual plot to the episode is incredibly boring to me.
Spencer Loften
2024-06-24 14:55:47 +0000 UTCRiker’s whole plot this episode is to get Picard laid. Echoing his role in “Peak Performance”, Riker uses guile and cunning to beat the odds in an old junker.
EnigmaticPenguin
2024-06-24 14:50:49 +0000 UTCFun episode, I remember this being popular with fans at the time it was first shown, inspired a fair bit of fan fiction in the early online days.
Paul Rymer
2024-06-24 14:44:45 +0000 UTCThey did, saw them together in London when I went to one of his Christmas Carol one-man shows.
Paul Rymer
2024-06-24 14:41:38 +0000 UTCRikers little ploy with the horga'hn is a classic.
Faitestealer
2024-06-24 14:35:12 +0000 UTCI'm not entirely sure you'll think a whole lot about this one. Some things you'll both enjoy, but by the end when you have thought about it, I have a feeling you'll be this will be the first non-banger in weeks. There is just no chemistry between Picard and Vash - maybe on paper, but the actors lack the chemistry needed, and I feel Patrick Stewart just comes across as forced and unnatural in her more personal scenes with Vash. Yeah, not sure this one is gonna gel for you two.
Andy Frankham-Allen
2024-06-24 14:09:02 +0000 UTCI'm not sure this is a "good" episode but I always thought it was fun~
irohtheteamaster
2024-06-24 14:08:39 +0000 UTCRiker and the crew so into getting their Captain to take a vacation. Love the scene with Riker talking about Risa.
Christopher Dorn
2024-06-24 14:00:45 +0000 UTCThe Star Trek manifestation of the nineties porn obsession. Do you think a 'pleasure planet' like Risa would be in writers' minds today?
Sam Langanke
2024-06-24 13:50:55 +0000 UTCI predict you are going to love the first quarter of this episode. The crew gleefully conspiring against Picard is great. The episode points out its own biggest flaw, the Vorgons know where the thing is now, they can just time travel back a few minutes earlier and get it.
tyranusfan
2024-06-24 13:48:03 +0000 UTCI think the "screwing and shooting" was the altered version. He may have said "fighting and f-cking."
Turtleboy
2024-06-24 13:31:48 +0000 UTCLegend has it that Patrick Stewart asked the writers for either more "sex and shooting," or literally "fighting and fucking" and they wrote this ep for him.
Turtleboy
2024-06-24 13:30:28 +0000 UTCPicard’s packin’ in this episode; both his suitcase and his space speedo. “Make it so, number 1”.
Steven Portillo
2024-06-24 13:24:35 +0000 UTCIf I remember correctly, Patrick Stewart and Jennifer Hetrick started dating after this episode.
Sharron
2024-06-24 13:12:13 +0000 UTCIndiana Jones meets Love Boat! This is a fun caper that doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't stand up to too much scrutiny, but it doesn't have to because it's FUN. I am very interested to see if you guys like this one.
Menty
2024-06-24 13:05:13 +0000 UTCI think you will enjoy this episode. Picard gets to be a combination of Indiana Jones and Dixon Hill, and punches a Ferengi. What's not to like? (Other than him being so gullible about the Vorgon)
Jeffrey
2024-06-24 12:58:25 +0000 UTCHonestly, I don't remember much about this episode. I saw it once, a long time ago, and nothing about it really stuck with me. So I can't predict how you'll feel about it, but from the way other people are talking about it, it's going to be a change of pace, but not an unpleasant one. I hope the streak of liked episodes continues.
John
2024-06-24 12:51:37 +0000 UTCIf it were restful, it wouldn't be much of a story, would it? But yes, we've seen it before, but at least this time Wesley hasn't been sentenced to death.
John
2024-06-24 12:49:20 +0000 UTCI love “you’re blocking the suns”, and that filthy old leather-bound book was character building.
Smear Campaign
2024-06-24 12:48:20 +0000 UTCHow do you generally feel about time travel within Star Trek storylines, how it was (sort of) used in this episode, and how much time travel you expect to see in the rest of Star Trek.
Smear Campaign
2024-06-24 12:47:19 +0000 UTCBe careful where you show off your Hor-gahn! This episode is the result of a request from Patrick Stewart him self for there to be more “screwing and shooting” in the series, specifically for Picard. Love the Indiana Jones/ Maltese Falcon feel of this episode. Yes, as with all time travel stories it raises questions, but it goes to show that when it’s a well-written, well-acted episode, it is easy to overlook sticking points. Welcome to the writing staff Ira Steven Behr!

Mister Hope
2024-06-24 12:39:32 +0000 UTCWell, that answers it. Captain Picard fucks...
Brendon Waldron
2024-06-24 12:30:47 +0000 UTCWhenever a pleasure planet like Risa is mentioned, you know something is going to go horribly wrong. Do Starfleet officers EVER get a restful shore leave?
Evan Guthrie
2024-06-24 12:30:14 +0000 UTCBack to back Picard episodes! Of course this is fantastic. Picard gets to take a vacation. Picards idea of fun is a bit different, he isn't much one for sitting idle to relax, he likes a mystery an adventure and he gets it here plus a romance meeting Vash. Rikers little trick on Picard is hilarious. Overall its nice to see Picard have a great time. I like this one very much.
Sequiro
2024-06-24 12:26:46 +0000 UTCLove the brief on this “just get the captain laid”
Darren Seal
2024-06-24 12:20:52 +0000 UTCI bet you guys weren't expecting to see Picard in a housecoat again so soon! This is a classic TNG episode. Weird new aliens, Ferengi, Picard romance. Vash is a total scene stealer! I always like when Picard quietly figures things out as the episode goes on and this is another great example of that. Sort of the Indiana Jones episode of TNG. A+ episode for me! No clue how you guys will take to it.
