1.12 - The Big Goodbye

Friend of the blog Deborah mentioned this to us, like, six months ago and then we never did it, and then friend of the blog Alex mentioned it to us like two weeks ago and reminded us that there was some “40’s by way of the 80’s realness” (just like that one part in Xanadu) so I was like “I’m on it.”

This is the first Holodeck episode, and what happens? THE HOLODECK TRIES TO KILL EVERYONE. Of course.

First off, though, the Captain is trying to learn how to perfectly pronounce this alien language because if he doesn’t, the aliens in question will be offended and kill everyone:

Still easier to learn than Welsh

Deanna is helping coach him in a lovely season one Mardi Gras Beads Hair Accessory:

And of course, great cleavage #respect

Loved that little Holodeck closing scene

Data’s gangster voice towards the end really is just Brent’s voice isn’t it?

Well we said our seven dirty words to the Haradans our mission is done and who cares about Whalen, let’s go to warp!

“If I do this wrong everyone could vanish!” Uh, isn’t that what you want? Oh you mean even the crew would vanish. Wow we’ll never hear from that one again.

Wow Redblock really does get cartoony once he gets on the deck of the ship. HIT ME WITH THE MESSAGE ABOUT GREED.

Lawrence Tierney, classic casting.

Where are you from?

Data: I was creating on a world…

Picard: Data!

Data:…South America.

Still early enough in the series that Data keeps reciting without a filter.

Data’s voice “He’s on ice! His goose is being cooked!” awesome
