Someone who’s never seen Star Trek explain what’s going on in this scene

Sweet trumpet solo to celebrate winning a prank war against annoyed bald dad

I mean, that’s…is that not what was happening?

Is it? I’ve never watched the show before

I know he was celebrating Picard (the bald guy) doing something. Probably admitting he (Q, the trumpet player) was right. And he does keep playing tricks on them to teach them lessons.

In terms of character development, plot, political commentary, and costumery, Star Trek: TNG is almost certainly inferior to both DS9 or Voyager. And yet… and yet. You really have to appreciate how often the characters decide that dressing up as detectives and LARPing on the Holodeck is the best way to solve their problems.

There is literally No Reason why Holodeck characters should be programmed to notice when users are wearing Starfleet uniforms. Aliens and androids use the holodeck and it’s fine, the computer accounts for that and it’s rarely even remarked upon, but god forbid anyone neglect to cosplay. The holodeck will call you out and every character will mock you mercilessly for your dumb clothes.

This is so much funnier in light of the Discovery revelation that Klingons have two penises.

Whoa now. Hold on. I do not remember that particular revelation. Can someone point me to this?

One scene has Lorca tell a Klingon women humans don’t have enough parts for mating with them, and another has a Klingon peeing on a wall and there’s two streams. So Discovery has made Klingons have two of their respective reproductive organs, essentially.

I fail to see how this is a problem.

Since this new Trek show is going to follow up with Picard ~20 years after his last onscreen appearance, I have decided that the only thing I want as Picard’s post-TNG canon is a Trek version of “Murder, She Wrote.” 

Like, Picard is retired in an idyllic French village, spending his time crocheting and organizing bunco groups, and every time someone new shows up in the town, they end up dead in the vineyard. Naturally Picard has to Poirot it up, and the climax of each episode happens in his living room, with everyone sitting in his doily-covered armchairs so he can monologue about who the murderer is. 

Pretty much 100% of the time, the murderer is Q

The murder victim is also Q.

Q needs a better hobby.

Guys?  My fellow Trekkies?  People?

Some of you know this already.  Some of you don’t.  But this song was almost the theme for Star Trek: The Next Generation.

No, I am not kidding.  I’m serious.  It really was.  They almost used this as the theme to TNG.  It’s even on the first soundtrack, the one with the music from the pilot “Encounter at Farpoint” if you don’t believe me.

Yes, this song was almost the TNG theme.

Seriously.

I mean it’s not horrible horrible, right?  But it’s… it’s not the TNG theme, you know? 

It really is very 1980s though.  I mean, you’d have to do 80s visuals with it, you know?  Not just text.  Picard would have to come on horseback galloping over the top of a hill.  Riker would have to do one of those half-turn-and-smile manuvers.  Troi would have shake her hair like a shampoo commercial.  Worf would have to do a toothy growl as he chopped wood with a bat’leth.  Beverly would have to be fixing Wesley’s uniform collar or something before turning to the camera.  Geordi would do the two-handed point-and-grin like Guy in the end opening credits from “Galaxy Quest” and Data would totally be painting a portrait of spot before spot knocked over the paints…

Fair warning, you’re going to have to sit through about half the intro before it actually becomes different.

Also the Galaxy Quest vibes are unreal
