STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (1987-1994) S04E21 | The Drumhead

[kirksfattitties]

i think tuvok and janeways friendship is done very well and it’s a really good example of a friendship between a man and a woman where you’re never like “but they have romantic feelings for each other right?” because they love each other so so much but it’s completely platonic and familial and even when janeway takes tuvoks hand and is like “i already have a man” you KNOW she’s joking and TUVOK knows she’s joking

i love them so much and i really don’t talk about them enough because there’s just such a good dynamic between them

Star Trek: the search for the only braincell on board

[just-another-borg-philosopher]

(Credit to parks and rec)

Janeway: (points to Voyager’s one dedicated coffee maker- which is now broken) ...So. Who broke it?

Senior Officers: ...

Janeway: I’m not mad. I just want to know.

Senior Officers: ...

Chakotay: ...I did. I broke it, Kath-

Janeway: No. No you didn’t. Mr. Paris?

Tom: Don’t look at me. Look at the Doc.

Doctor: What?! I didn’t break it. I’m a hologram- I have no need for coffee.

Tom: Huh. That’s weird. How’d you even know it was broken?

Doctor: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken.

Tom: Suspicious.

Doctor: No, it’s not!

Neelix: Um. I-if it matters- probably not- but Seven was the last one to use it-

Seven: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap!

Harry: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier? I saw you, too!

Seven: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles- everyone knows that, Ensign.

Chakotay: Ok, ok. Let’s not fight. I broke it, let me use my rations to replicate another one, Kathryn.

Janeway: No. Who broke it?!

Senior Officers: ...

Doctor: (leans forward, whispers) ...Um, Captain? B’Elanna’s been awfully quiet-

B’Elanna: REALLY?!

Doctor: Yeah! Really! Now, I-

(All senior officers start arguing as Chakotay tries to stop the chaos)

Janeway: (aside) I broke it. I burned my hand so I shot it with my phaser. I never really cared about that thing anyway- replicated coffee is better than anything Neelix ever brewed. (Chaos behind her intensifies) I predict ten minutes from now Tuvok will have to send in a security detail and confine them all to quarters. (Glances over her shoulder. Smiles.) Good. It was getting a little too chummy for life out here in the Delta Quadrant.

Janeway: ...

Janeway: (narrows eyes) I’ll have to have a little chat with Seven about insulting coffee like that.

George Takei was so excited to do this shirtless episode. He spent all his free time doing push-ups for a week before they shot this.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

they were going to give him a katana and have him be a samurai, but he didn’t want to be stereotypical, so he told the execs that he could fence and they wrote in references to the three musketeers instead

he could not, in fact, fence

he spent the weekend before shooting learning how

[jenniferrpovey]

Not only that, but he found he liked fencing, kept it up, and became a master fencer.

When I had the privilege to hear him talk at AwesomeCon 2015, he informed us he is a master fencer. It was a very clear implication that he is still fencing at his advanced age. No wonder he’s so healthy.

He had far too much fun with this episode and it shows.

And also for George Takei running through the Starship Enterprise with a sword and cackling sinisterly

Reblogging for ALL of this, and for the coolness of George Takei still kicking butt with a sword to this day!

Reblog if you trust George Takei with a sword to protect you

[davetheshady]

“In the end, [Takei] loved his sword-fighting scene so much he held onto the rapier for several hours, poking stage hands with it and engaging in mock duels off the set.” – IMDB’s trivia

[karmakaze]

This episode also has one of my favorite “I can’t believe the censors missed that.” moments. Sulu comes up to the bridge and pushes Uhura behind him and exclaims “I’ll protect you, fair maiden!” She just gives him this so-done-with-this look and says, “Sorry, *neither*.”
