 FULL DISCUSSION - Star Trek TNG S2E19 - Manhunt

Maybe just a subconscious response given what happened last time he ran the program

Timothy Nikiforovs

Picard going to the holodeck just to rest and absorb another world's ambiance is very relatable. I do the same in GTA and Red Dead 2.

Charles D.

Before Trek he did the miniseries North & South

Scarpad’s Domain

After Trek Frakes concentrated on directing but had did do episodic tv here and there

Scarpad’s Domain

Give us the next episode damnit! It's a personal favorite and I am excited to watch along with you guys.

Clyde Frog

This had some cringe and was weird. And yet still fun. Not the best trek but not the worst and still somewhat fun.

Crankygrandma

According to trek mytholgoy, Klingons have two penises, so that would have been xomething with Worf

David Kunard

I dont think she knew till she was in the same room with them

David Kunard

This is one of those episodes that is... on paper, it's not very good at all. But it's elevated by the performances and the energy that guest stars can bring. Majel Barrett is just fantastic whenever she appears, and even if this was not a great plot for her, she just has so much spark and fun that she brings that you end up kindof enjoying it even if the episode doesn't really mean anything.

Ian Westcott

Yes they did a little, but I think they got the idea after the conversation in the ready room.

Joe Concepts

Yes I know they're not together now. Just speaking casually. But I assume he met Lwaxana back when they were together.

Joe Concepts

Funny that the guys are getting an almost more "pure" viewing experience than we did back in the day. While I don't think we knew episode titles in advance (unless TV Guide listed them?), any guest star appearance would be instantly spoiled by episode previews. TV still has these today, I guess, but with streaming there's not much point to them. Though they still exist.

Joe Concepts

To me it always felt like an episode without an "A" plot.

Joe Concepts

@Glenner7 Exactly! LOL!

Jovet

*ex-girlfriend. They haven't been a couple since they parted before serving on the Enterprise. Riker chose his career over her. They are just close friends now, no porking.

Jovet

Alex has no idea what he's in for! :biggrin:

Jovet

Deanna isn't his girlfriend at that point. Just the mother of the ex. So what.

Sam Langanke

Yes, Laxwana sounds like a town in upstate New York.

Glenner7

14:20 I think you guys need to work on your LWAXANA pronunciation. /loo-wahk-SAH-nuh. Takes some practice.... it's a delicious name!

Jovet

11:09 What else is there to do??? Each and every man on the ship! HAHAHA May the Porks be With Her!

Jovet

10:35 She couldn't read their thoughts until they woke up. So, she didn't know right away. Once they were awake, though, she could tell their plans, and was genuinely surprised in the Transporter Room that they were still roaming free. She apparently didn't stop to think that she's the only one aboard who could sense their thoughts.

Jovet

9:00 I can't wait until you guys see a future episode.... next year sometime...

Jovet

7:52 That is definitely practical makeup/masks.

Jovet

Hmmmmmm.

Jovet

You guys liked this more than I expected. I figured you guys wouldn't like this episode, 'coz too weird and Lwaxana is too much.

Jovet

Sometimes you need an episode that has an inconsequential plot but has enough laughs to carry it. It's basically everything Outrageous Okona wasn't. The humor in that all flopped I feel, but Manhunt it all worked.

JGoss

As soon as I saw those eyes I knew it was him.

Skullman8942

In story, Picard should have had nothing to fear from Dixon Hill's adversaries because the Holodeck failsafes would prevent him from being hurt (unless he removed the failsafes). He just wanted to kick back and relax, away from work and Troi's mom, without any major interruptions.

Collin Freeman

I love the theorizing about future Lwanana episodes. Can't wait to see your reaction if theories pan out or not in the future.

Andrea R

Romulus ale should be illegal 🤣

Andrea R

I have kept this to myself for a long time but not any longer: Objection to the over use of "per se" now you're both at it! hehe

Narnman

one of the Antdians was played by Mick Fleetwood, of the band Fleetwood Mac

Ee'char

the second guy that came into Dixon's office is the same actor that plays quite a major character later on!

Ee'char

you were talking over Troi's explanation of Lwaxana's condition...

Ee'char

I always love how the only person on the whole ship amused by her is Riker. Great way to show his personality. You'd think you wouldn't like the overbearing mother of your girlfriend, but he has a twisted kind of sense of humor. He clearly enjoys Picard's discomfort.

Joe Concepts

I don't think she could read the aliens' minds until they were awake. Which is probably why they came up with the hibernation idea to begin with.

Joe Concepts

Good to see you laughing and enjoying an episode!

SinocTheHodgeheg

I think Geordie heard in advance she was coming and quickly went to an engineers conference.

Alan Thompson

I love how Picard fixes his coat collar. Very similar to Kirk’s away team jacket in Wrath of Khan.

FullPowerDamnYou

This is one of those episodes I really didn't remember. Not a great one but not a bad one either. Enjoyable but not on my list of memorable ones or must see.

Monty Crawford

*SNIFF* Something fishy in here... "Sometimes I Just feel like crying" - Alex, 2024. Me too, man. Me too.
