and btw riker was apparently not a big fan of this guy... i've never seen somebody to give headshots with a phaser.... AND blow heads right off. must've been a "fuck yeahh!" moment.
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot !??!?!? What the FUUUUUUU???? I've never seen his head blowing off. LOLLOlololOLOL. It must've been cut out by the tv-networks....
You make me smile. It's not a conversation. You are just a little worm who was feeling lonely and felt like posting an asenine response to a comment which had absolutely nothing to do with you. Nobody likes you, everybody hates you, kid.
@Museite look who'se talking. you are actually having a conversation through the internet. don't deny it. we're botlh talking to each other. still, lolfail.
I love this episode XDD it's one of the best episodes from the 1st season of TNG. I always liked this scene, Picard fires and it seems like Riker thinks, hell, me too! XD and fires too XD (just next to this scene) / this were the initial Borg concept but they changed the idea (thank god). We have Stargate for this enemy concept...
@Fajjani PROTIP: Never, NEVER, propose "peaceful coexistence" to the Federation (or the U.S.). That is what THEY will offer YOU after having confiscated whatever resources you possess and correcting your primitive culture by imposing their own. If you jump the gun and try to coexist before they've neutered you...YOU WILL BE PHASER'D!
I agree, to an extent. The show was beginning to find itself, and I would dare to say that by season 3, they had hit their stride. The shows were becoming less and less self contained and had better acting, and were less TMP-like. This scene jolts an otherwise fairly uninteresting episode.
Reportedly, what they did was load something up with animal entrails from a butcher's shop and used a small explosive to set it off. The part where his head is disintegrated is superimposed.
This is awesome! Tha actor playing "Lt. Cmdr Dexter Remmick" is a customer in my shop (not gonna say which one, don't want to get in trouble, and he is a MAJOR ASSHOLE to all the staff here!! Eat phaser, jerk!
personally this was my favourite one, I don't see why you have it as comedic and such, I mean sure, the effects are dated compared to today but seriously, this is pretty damn graphic for any prime time show in the 80s.
they did bring this race back in the DS9 books, where Ezri finds out that they are actually an offshoot of the Trill, and thwarts their plot to take it over.
and yes Skin of Evil sucked horribly, partly cause the hottest trek babe of all time died in it...
This episode was originally going to create a long running story line with the species in it. But they never came back to it. If you remember at the end there was a zoom out with a beacon noise signaling out into space. I saw this on a show about the history of TNG some years ago, dont remember all the details.
Of all the TNG (and maybe even all Star Trek) I thought this particular episode had the most unrealistic setting and storyline, that really just did not fit with the saga. I think it was down to that 1st series trying to make an impact with action/horror/special effects. In fact there is a lot about the 1st series I didn't like. I usually skip it completely.
Still, it was pretty funny. Got to give it credit for that.
you stopped at the best part!!!

The real funny part, in my opinion, is that this was pretty hardcore to see on TV back in the day. Especially for Star Trek.

that's because the phasers were not set on "vaporize" only to "kill" and the alien parasite gave the human body some resistance to phasers
