There are many, many better scenes in Star Trek history, but this scene is so enjoyable to watch, again and again. The way that Data just effortlessly wrecks the entire crew is so satisfying for some reason. He is their friend, their colleague, and in an instant, he turns on them, and in minutes completely overrides their mission, despite their best efforts. It's like the rise of Locutus from just a couple of episodes ago, only by himself and so much faster. The crew is just so hopelessly outmatched, it's almost comical.

So, Admiral Rickover, father of the US Nuclear Navy, intentionally wanted the amount of computer control over the reactors limited so that no matter what happened, a human was the one in control. Even if someone had complete control over the bridge of a US ship, it's in engineering that the true control over it is maintained. The bridge cannot directly control the engines, and instead must send a request to engineering, where a human receives it and carries it out. This is also why even if the bridge is lost to an attack, the ship is not disabled.

I'm amazed with their technology they base everything on voice pattern recognition and it's simply a matter of hearing the codes used and playing back a taped section to get access.

01:05 there is a mistake in command. "transfer helm to enigneering" but not the command functions, leaving the odd acting android on the bridge. If I think of it: In a non-red-alert scenario, if life-functions on the main bridge fail, all command functions should be routed to the battle bridge on Galaxy Class ships or engineering. The Enterprise D is the only ship with an android on board, it's hard to believe there is not standard protocoll for that situation. Still a good story, though.

Nice blue lights theyve got on the bridge. In 1:34 you can suddelny see them change to red, only to be changed again in blue. Its the true disco ship of the fleet. Also all the uniforms have their zippers on the back. Only the poor guy at 4:01 has the zipper on the front.

Y'know, if Picard had simply established orders only to be accepted from engineering from the beginning, he'd have beaten Data to it. Data was INCREDIBLY slow to lock out Picard.

I'm sorry but this seemed really unbelievable, how does main engineering not have a manual disengage for the warp core.

Geordi was trying to use the manual disengage but then he said "Everything's locked up", and I agree with you that it's rather absurd that even the manual disengage can be overridden from the bridge. Although, given the tech we're dealing with the manual disengage may not be so manual at all.

One thing about this episode is the absolute certainty the crew has in their various schemes to get control back. Picard in particular was almost salivating when he was describing the saucer separation and coming back around to pull in the saucer with a tractor beam. I relate to this in my real life. We think we've figured out a foolproof scheme only to realize the universe or others have already thought about and prevented it.

Have seen the comments on 2fa for preventing this, but what strikes me now watching it back is that it is *already* established by this point in the show that almost all 'higher level' command or authorisation functions require a short 'passphrase' exclusive to each person too, which almost certainly nobody else would know, something like "Access code Picard-Epsilon-7-9-3", and it's a fairly significant flaw that it is not required for these functions. I'd be willing to accept it as just a genuine in universe 'design flaw' but it is *already established* that this is necessary for pretty much all functions of this type so it ends up feeling like a pretty significant writing failing to me

and here we see even an old Star Trek episode warning us of the possible dangers of AI!!

ive always failed to believe an android with the ability to mimic any high ranking officer in the entire federation was not a massive MASSIVE security risk.

It's pretty tense, but it makes you wonder why they don't have some phasers in a locker for when they're boarded. Hell, Worf could've put his phaser on maximum stun and solved the problem right there. Then again, with his luck he probably would've missed and Data would've shot him from a phaser he pulled out of his ass.

It amazes me how the Enterprise crew is so inept that a group of Ferengi could probably over the ship. Oh, wait. They did.

They dropped, for this episode, the need to say a password when doing special functions. So anyone that sounded like Picard could do anything.

It’s kinda a major security risk if you can just imitate someone’s voice to fully control the ship under their name… With how advanced the tech is in TNG, I’d think it would be some sort of simple bio-scan or AT LEAST a thumbprint or a code or something to get command clearance…

Actually, I believe at the terminal where Data was typing, the ship's computer did indeed ask him "I need to verify your identity. What was the name of your first pet?" Unfortunately, Picard was once foolish enough reveal this info in passing, within earshot of Data.

wesley said to picard, you're the only one who has authorization to localize command functions, but in the episode where ferangi took over the ship commander riker also had the ability to lock out the computer, he said deactivate all command functions authorization blah blah blah.

Riker deactivated all command functions. Data restricted all command functions to the bridge. So command functions were still working, but only from the bridge, rather then all of them being deactivated entirely. Deactivating could/should be used when the ship is more or less lost to a enemy. To keep the enemy from using the ship. So they can't use it to surprise attack a Federation base by just flying to it and blasting without warning. Or to keep someone from flying it to the enemy's home planet and be revers engineered. Limiting command functions to a single room can be used if there is a enemy boarding party trying to get control. If commands are only accepted in lets say the bridge, the boarding party can't, or should have more trouble hacking into the system to take control of the ship.

I was under the impression that Data was standing in front of one of the auxiliary turbolifts (there are a total of four on the bridge, one in each “corner”) and that part of the evacuation procedure was to confirm everyone got out safely. Data had no plans to leave the bridge, so he just turned away from the open turbolift and got back to work.

DeAnna (I'm sure I misspelled that) is full of beans, lots of beans, with that entrance. As an empath, I sense her beansiness, Captain.

So happy we have STD, Picard and Lower Decks to remind us of how lucky we where to have The Next Generation to grow up watching.

Anybody notice that the blue life support failure lights cand red red alert lights switched and then switched bsck? They're blue when everyone leaves, red when Data goes to the teminal and blue again when he starts rerouting commands with his Alpha-1 clearance.

Everyone loves magical Trevor

Data is an android with an on board processor no one fully understands. His IQ, if it can even be measured, would be over 1000. He anticipates every move before the crew thinks of it. He can mimic voices, thereby cracking security measures. He understands the ship and can manipulate it better than the entire crew combined. Truly awesome.

What a pickle.

This is the first time we ever see Blue Alert in Star Trek...and then by the time of Voyager, it means that Voyager is landing on a planet. Continuity error: after the computer says that Deck 1 life support has been terminated, it briefly goes back to Red Alert.

It did always annoy me a bit in this scene that they were completely locked out. I can understand that Data can lock down the computer from the bridge, but they are physically in engineering. How can they not take direct, local control of the warp engines to stop the ship? No computer instruction from elsewhere should prevent Geordi from shutting down the warp drive when he can access it directly.

_When everyone knows your password_

Didn't Riker transfer command functions to engineering right before he gets stunned by the Ferengi? Or was it O'Brien? I can't count, too many times

I just wanna call Siri "computer."

Question: When the Main Bridge life support systems failed, why did Picard transfer command controls to Engineering and not the Battle Bridge?

Right as soon as Picard realized data was on the bridge he should have nullified all of his clearances. Wouldn't help data using his voice but would have slowed or stopped him making his way to the transporter room without the forcefield access

That was the nice thing about the robot on Lost in Space, you could just pull the plug on him.

Is it just me or did the blue lighting effect briefly change to red, as though someone decided to change the bulb and step up to red alert? :P

Just noticed a goof: when the camera goes wide for a moment on the bridge the warning lights are flashing red instead of the blue they should be.

The computer should've asked are you a robot????=)

The alarm sound effects at 1:20 sound so much like USS Defiants.
