JACK FLAWLESS "I GET FADED" (PROD BY BOI-1DA)
SEARCH IT !!!!

@davideshafer Emergency backup nuclear powercells; I found it in the specs in Mr. Scott's guide to the Enterprise.

@buckaroohawk It certainly wasn't down to her bad piloting, it's just an humorous coincidence. It's possible that it had already been evacuated or there was a command given that we didn't see.
-
@ProtoKun7 True enough, but she did that under orders from Picard so it wasn't really her fault. My only problem with that scene is that I don't recall Picard (or anyone for that matter) ordering that the bow of the saucer be evacuated. Did Picard kill dozens of his own crew just to get into a fender-bender with the Scimitar?

@buckaroohawk Then of course there is the joke that the Enterprise always seems to crash when Troi's at the helm. She was at the helm in Nemesis during the collision with the Scimitar.
-
@Kamau47 Technically, you're right. The explosion of the stardrive section knocked the saucer into a crash course with the planet and took the flight controls offline for a while. There really wasn't anything she could do. She was in the pilot seat, though, and data had to do some work to level the saucer's descent, so unfortunately the "L" still goes in her column.

@buckaroohawk Did Troi actually "crash" Enterprise D? I thought it was blown into the atmosphere by the warp core breech of the drive section.
Sorry if this has already been posted, but i saw on one of the 2009 Star Trek feature DVDs a segment where this clip was supposed to be the ending of Star Trek The Motion Picture where they come into contact with Klingons who damage the ship and the saucer is seperated.

@studmuffin0681 You are correct, sir! The scene was never actually in the script, but an acceptable ending for the film hadn't yet been written. Someone proposed the idea of the Klingons attacking the Enterprise after V'ger "evolved," and Andrew Probert drew some storyboards to show how the saucer would separate. I based this video on his storyboards. Obviously, the scene never made it into the film, so I did this to show what it might look like. Thanks for writing!
