I just love the idea of the Enterprise just sitting there all of a sudden broadcasting Stars and Stripes forever on every channel. What do the guys who pick it up think about it?
You will never come across a greater adversary than your own potential.
Dr. Paul Stubbs in"Evolution"
Picard answered the door way too quickly for her to strike that pose.
Hello Johnny, miss me?
Oh and Dr. Crusher’s Back, likely having said to Pulaski “don’t let door hit you n your crotchety ass on your way out"
So I already covered Evolution during my Random Trek Rewatch but it is the first episode of Season 3 to be aired (The Ensigns of Command was the first one produced as I recall). So there’s more to cover:
first is the change in lighting on the bridge, from the beige-y tones to the much more dramatic white glare that would stay through the series (Star Trek Generations would go back to Beige):
It make a hell of a difference
The senior staff gets the new uniforms but are, for the next few episodes still fitted as seen above by Riker. Everyone benefits from having the Collar:
Picard looks more commanding now, this is the right fit.
And Data wears the hell out of this mustard.
Oh and notice the panel behind Data, it used to be beige too, now it’s grey:
That is also the most dramatic carpet the series has had at this point (I think throughout the entire series but I’m not sure)
Dramatic Carpet
Finally, a shot of this very 1989 drinking glass.
There should be a pink flamingo decal on that glass.
"Not the most exciting fashion but: Bev is back! With a popped collar.” is how reader Katie G. described this episode and I was like “okay, let’s DO THIS. It opens with this shot:
Thank god I wasn’t on HD TV as a teen
Wesley. Wake up. Get it together.
this line is even better out of context
no but the evolution movie is a work of art everyone pls cherish it
Serious show with serious issues.
I never realized that Gates McFadden and Elizabeth Mitchell had similar deliveries…
Oh Wesley’s whining a bit (but the gripes are valid and he hasn’t slept)
“School Project?” Just what the hell is being taught on my ship?!
“Why does a mosquito bite your ear? and who cares!?”
How did Stubbs get a weapon onboard? Did he steal it? And Gamma Radiation, Golly?!
Oh fuck me now he's dreaming baseball! Yes Nanites get him, kill him already!
- The Egg that Stubbs laid.
- *No one* will say that…
Wes for once is the audience.
Oh god now we’re talking baseball…this guy is really dull
