Keep in mind that "Shields down" usually means they're fully depleted at that moment. However, shields of that nature are constantly recharging. Therefore it's safe to assume that the shields were, at least partially, restored between each time Worf said it.

In the late 80's-early 90s CGI was still hella expensive, and didn't look as realistic as it does today (Babylon 5's CGI is a good example). That meant the visual arts people were largely limited to physical models. When the TNG blu-ray was being put together, the effects should have received the same remastered treatment as TOS. If you look at the remastered TOS episode "The Doomsday Machine," you'll see the Enterprise doing strafing runs across the planet-killer, and it looks AWESOME. But you never would have seen that back in the 60s because the money wasn't there and the graphics/visual effects know-how wasn't there.

And BOPs are quite a bit more nimble than the Federation flagship. Note also that the C was crippled and might have been going along at, say, 1/3 impulse. Crusher reported that the BOPs were trying to flank the Enterprise and get to the 1701C. All-in-all, I think they did all they could.

The shields being down more than once makes perfectly reasonable sense. Remember, this is a Galaxy Class starship. One of its features (if you peruse the manual) is that it's shields regenerate rapidly. In the time intervals between enemy weapon bursts, they'd obviously managed to restore some small percentage of their protective capacity. This partial shielding was then lost, again, when they sustained another barrage. Simple.

Hence is not being that concerned with being destroyed when Data says the ship is more powerful. Picard plays along like he is falling for the ploy, then withdraws to test the theory) Worf: "I'm having trouble re-assembling the shields". (the created vessel is not trying to deal real harm to the Enterprise... circuits, shield projects, shield generators are not being destroyed. Hence Worf is able to bring the shields up again)

they should have just modulated the phase polarity, that always works

The enemy ship is a manifestation of a God-like alien on the planet who wanted to be left alone in exile. Since this was the Enterprise's second encounter with it, the alien had lost patience with Picard and made his manifestation much more powerful in hopes that he wouldn't be bothered by him again if he made the threat to his ship overwhelmingly more serious. The alien had sworn never to kill again, so had the Enterprise held it's ground it would have been able to call the alien's bluff, but Picard had only just started to suspect this was the real scenario and couldn't risk the Enterprise without more information. It's an awesome and rare opportunity to see such a massive volley of firepower from the Enterprise-D, but it was never going to have any effect. The Enterprise's shields recharge automatically, faster than normal if they get auxiliary power directed to them. I would speculate that the alien had no intention of inflicting any serious damage to the ship, but figured if he kept knocking the shields down and repelled any counter attack it would eventually be enough of a scare tactic to get Picard to withdraw.

I don't understand what's wrong with the "Shields down" being declared multiple times.

Makes sense for the shields to go off and on multiple times during the course of one battle, if the ship is hit with sufficiently powerful missiles.

It's sad this is one of the few episodes you see the Enterprise use its full firepower. Half the time it shoots only once while the enemy fires back over and over. Then you get crap like Rascals or Generations, where a where a weaker rusty Klingon ship (in Rascals used by idiot Ferengi) overpowers the Enterprise.

Picard: We been patient. Riker: FUCK THEIR SHIT, WORF. Hahaha, that Red Shirt got really into that.

One of the best Star Trek episodes ever

I just figured he Worf was able to bring them slightly back up soon after saying "I'm having problems reconfiguring the shields."

The Shields Obviously recharge very quickly. The only way to take the Shields down permanently is to destroy or damage the Shield Projectors (Of which the Enterprise has many). It's much easier to cause a Warp Core Breach that will definitely destroy the vessel from the inside rather than carving up the Hull with Disruptors.

"Lieutenant Worf, fire phasers on full with a simultaneous spread of torpedos," ordered Commander Riker after the Duras sisters found a way to compromise the Enterprise's shield. "Sir, I also recommend rotating our shield frequency to prevent further direct hits to the hull," adds Mr Worf.

Yes, Riker fires phasers once or twice in that movie while sitting on the very weapons that could have blew that tiny bird of prey into dust. It drove me nuts knowing that all Riker had to do was unleash the full strength of the Enterprises wepons. He could have cleaned the carpet with the Duros sisters but instead chose to tinker with schematics and looking for unusual ways to destroy them... ugh...

Watching these clips again, I love the way that most of the time Picard simply tells Riker the "what" but not the "how" and let's the kids have their fun. Riker seems to have much more autonomy than most XOs in the Trek universe. Kirk is too much the straight up hero to delegate. Janeway is too much of a scientist/technician to leave the details to others. Sisko is such a straight up badass warfighter that even when he's still and calm you can see the power flows from him to everyone else. Picard, sometimes is like a Jedi that fell into the wrong franchise. I bet him and old Ben Kenobi would be BFFs.

If you trained your people well, you just have to say what. If your people are new or dumb, you have to say how also.

'Commence rapid fire all weapons on full.' Riker don't fuck around.

First of all, Worf kept trying to rebuild the shields but as he stated, they were getting hit with massive bursts of pure energy which scrambled the shields and fried circuits throughout the ship. The Dowd was hoping that they would just run from a superior force and not return - he was not trying to kill them. A Hunsock ship could probably go toe to toe with a Borg cube.

But, if the hushnoc ship was an illusion created by the man on the planet, how could it have damaged the Enterprise?

Worf said he was having trouble reassembling the shields, not that he couldn't get them back up. They regenerate when power is directed to them, something that is well established in Star Trek canon. Considering he's chief of security and the tactical officer of the Federation *flagship* , I imagine he has some expertise in the matter.

@calderarecords

Жыл бұрын

I think you make a really valid point here. I loved TNG & Voyager also. They were obviously rushed when making but the logic, methodology, tactical strategy, & behavioral science was far superior of anything today. Intelligent writing is utterly absent in Sci-Fi now. God rest Gene Roddenberry & Jacque Fresco.

Not only the enemy warship just playing with the Enterprise, it was nice enough to just target the poor red shirt on the bridge.

Uxbridge: In a moment of anguish, I rendered the Husnock extinct. Picard: We have no record of Husnock. Uxbridge: All righty, then. Never mind. Want some tea?

Picard: “Continuous fire, don’t stop shooting until we break their shields!” Worf, “Captain weapons can’t fire, were already over budget on special effects for this episode!”

I've thought that, too... but keep in mind that in this episode, they weren't even fighting a "real" ship... it was a construct created by a god-like being to scare the Enterprise off. If he'd wanted the Enterprise destroyed, all he would've had to do was snap his fingers and it would blink out of existence.

1:27 Worf laughs at that red-shirt tumbling on the ground and then Picard looks over as well to see what Worf was laughing at

Oooo! Worf certainly didn't like the order to move out of range. His Klingon ears heard RETREAT!!!

Picard is a great tactician, during the battle of Maxia he invented the Picard maneuver, under extreme distress to save the Stargazer and its crew.

“Commence rapid fire with all weapons on full.” Thanks Riker,… I can think of about a dozen times that would have come in handy.

I would think the Douwd controlling the ship would want to keep taking the Enterprise D's shields down as well, to let them know they were powerless against the ship. But, considering the Douwd would not kill, he just kept flexing until the Enterprise was helpless, and had to retreat. First the shields, then damage to the hull, then the weapons.
