Things you've just discovered after watching many times before?

Is it really nerdy of me to have noticed all this by myself years ago?!:eek:

When I saw Data's blue eyes, I was happy that they were doing more that just adding shit to stuff to make it different. Sometimes the simple things make all the difference.

Also, does anyone notice the difference in the warp core?

 
In "Rascals": when attacked by the two Birds of Prey, Worf comments there are some casulties, then a mintue later says there were "heavy casulties" on other decks. Yet there is no mention later, no moarning, no compassion from the captain after it all, and no mention in another episode. It's like they just threw away lives to make the episode more dramatic.

How many times have they done this in all of Star Trek? Hundreds?
 
In the Drumhead, Admiral Norah Satie is one of the guest staring characters. Later, in All Good Things, when Picard is in the past at Enterprise's launch, he reads the orders which come from Admiral Norah Satie. A nice bit of continuity, there.
 
In "Heart of Glory", the view from Geordi's V.I.S.O.R. is displayed on the Bridge's main viewer, at Picard's behest.

Picard asks who one person is and Geordi replies, "That's Data", and Picard asks him what that light is around him (or something like that) and Geordi replies it's an aura and said it as a matter-of-fact tone, because Data is an "android".
When Picard acts surprised, Geordi says something like, "What? Isn't that what you guys see?" (before Picard can answer, there is of course a distraction, so it goes unanswered).

Yet when Data's "mom" shows up, it is Data who notices she is an android, and not Geordi. Where's her aura?

And we know from multiple episode Geordi can detect minut differences in color and variations and the look displayed, so it's natural that Lore should have a slight different and varied aura, yet when disguised as Data, Geordi again fails to pick up on it.

Geordi's visor is always on the fritz. Like the time in that episode when he's in a cargo bay with Crusher and Crusher is all like, "Hey this wall is really hot!" and then it blows up in Geordi's face and you're like, "What happened with your visor, there, dip****." I never noticed Data's eyes being blue, I'll have to look for that next time I see that episode. Also count me in as thinking that was a person walking by the window in the opening. Looks 100% like a person to me.

If it were a common meaningless line, you think I'd bring it up here?

Two times I recall lines about casulties were during serious battles/problems:

"Q Who?"
and
"Cause and Effect"

Otherwise it's usually injuries, or no mentions at all. I'll be watching this more often.
 
How completely useless the tractor beam of the Enterprise D was. I think this must have been a running joke in the series because every few episodes Picard has cause to order Worf to apply the tractor beam. Invariably Worf can't do it - although he always thinks up a good excuse. In Cause and Effect, using the tractor beam actually destorys the Enterprise.
 
Data/Spiner's breath. Seriously? I'm going to have to pay attention to that now. That's pretty amazing!
Look for it in longer passages, like when he's talking a lot of technobabble

I haven't gotten specific into it yet, & there's still areas I'm wondering about, like if he still does it when he's acting, as a Shakespearean character, or as Sherlock Holmes. He might break form, as part of Data's acting performance, but in his natural speak you almost never hear him breath, unless it's a split second prior to starting a new phrase

I'm going to go watch some of that now, actually. I'd like to know if there's a way to ask him about it. I'm certain it's something he's rarely discussed

I watched "Thine Own Self" yesterday which was a Data ep. I particularly focused on Spiner's breathing. Although i am still not 100% convinced this was a conscious effort on his part, he does seem to be very much in control. Spiner/Data is, and always has been, my favorite actor and NG character.

RE: An eariler post about Data's blue eyes in Parallels. I had never noticed it before, but it was on last night and sure enough, in one segment, there they were. Cool.

Isn't it? It just blew me away!

Just how attractive Picard is. I am a heterosexual man, but if I was a woman I think I would be dreaming about Jean Luc all day. He is bald, and middle aged but he is very attractive. I think it's because he is so confident, so capable, so moral, and he is handsome.
I always thought of Riker as the most attractive male in the series, but I've been going through all of TNG recently, and I'd say that, if I was a woman, I'd go for Picard instead.

This. And for such an older man, he had one helluva body. His arms were outstanding!

AWESOME screen cap!!!! What is it about the warp core? The colors seem different. In fact, normally there really aren't "colors", right? It's usually just one glowing light.
That there are dolphins on the ship!! Perfect mate..

RAMA

Huh?
