TNG: Gambit

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

What if they’d given us Okana as one of the crew and had him the first one executed as a demonstration of the power of the implants? Would that have netted this a +1 bonus or something? :P

I mean, pretty much anything is better than Okana.

I remember quite liking the episode but you're right that there were a lot of missed opportunities and not enough to fill a two parter. I think I enjoyed it more than you but it definitely could have been a lot more.

turns out he's Noel from the MST3K Classic

Let's be honest here. Are there any of us who wouldn't want to see The Rock as a starship captain?

Had been waiting years, wondering if Chuck would bring up the fact they changed compromised security codes, every time I watched this two-parter, and he didn't disappoint! I'm on Cloud Nine. ^_^

I mean, the last three times he went into space are Doom, Planet 51, and Tsunkatse. Not feeling too confident on that one.

Data is in command, so of course shit gets done, since he ain't busy kirking his way through the ship's ladies or ain't busy writing a new speech to preach to the next alien of the week and has no interest in snarling and gnarling while fiddling with the mekleth hidden in his sash.
