Began my first nostalgia rewatch last night. S1E2 slayed me, watching this utter man of steel crumble here at the very beginning of the show. It was perfect, he’s perfect. No qualms that everyone’s drunk, just “Not now, dammit”
Also the episode is just generally hilarious, I’m deciding to take shots every time I hear the phrase “rape gang” and also when Crusher’s son is foreshadowed to be some kind of chosen one.


I have no goddamn idea what kind of noise Patrick Stewart is making at 0:30 but I’m imagining the director just saying “Well, he’s Royal Shakespeare, he must know what he’s doing!”
I forgot about that noise! What was that??? 🤣 was Jean Luc short circuiting?
