Star Trek: The Next Generation: Difference between revisions

Line 337:

* [[Future Spandex]]: Early-season uniforms; later seasons replaced them with something looser.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: There are a few instances of Picard using swear words in French that would never have been allowed on network TV if they were in English, most notably "merde" (French for 'shit').

** Another example of radar dodging is in "Masks". One scene involves Picard examining some artifacts, and when he grabs a rather [[Freud Was Right|phallic]] one, it is positioned suspiciously close to his crotch. Patrick Stewart also makes sure to put extra special focus on the word "enormous" in the speech he gives while holding the Fruedian artifact. Jonathan Frakes is doing his best not to smirk during this whole scene.

* [[Girl of the Week]]: This trope was in ''full force'' with Riker, especially in the first and second seasons. And then it got reversed, and Troi had a Guy Of The Week going on for several seasons.

* [[A God Am I]]: Q plays with this in "Tapestry". Picard dies and enters the "afterlife", where he finds Q awaiting him, who informs him that he's dead and that Q himself is God. Picard rejects this, because he doesn't think that "the Universe is so badly designed". Q just snarks that Picard is lucky Q doesn't smite him for his blasphemy.
