I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned on here yet, I saw a BRILLIANT episode of Family Guy the other night!
The scenario is that having been disappointed with Q & A section with the cast of The Next Generation at a Star Trek convention Stewie builds his own Transporter and kidnaps them so that he can spend the day with them. I must say, this has to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen on this show! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX--ggBxu0o In fact, has soon as it finished I immediately rewound it and watched it again! |

Fun Math Goof in ST:TNG
In the 24th century Captain Picard is still working on a problem that was solved in 1994 popularmechanics.com Andrew Moseman Sept 1, 2017 Okay, so Jean-Luc Picard isn't always right. A Reddit user watching some old Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes points out this curious quirk from one of the show's uneven early seasons. In the opening of "The Royale," Commander Riker walks in on the captain ruminating on Fermat's Last Theorem, remarking that a problem posed by a "part-time French mathematician" in the 17th century remains unsolved in the 24th. One problem, though. The infamous math problem was actually solved in 1994. Fermat's Last Theorem is perhaps the prime example of a problem that's easy to state but deadly difficult to solve. Remember the Pythagorean Theorem for solving right triangles, that x2 + y2 = z2? It has a whole host of solutions—sets of three numbers that are called Pythagorean triples, the simplest being 3, 4, and 5. Back in the 1600s, Fermat was trying to figure out if the equation would work out for exponents greater than 2. The question is: Is there any whole number solution for xn + yn = zn? Fermat couldn't find one, and he wrote that there is no solution. He also claimed in the margin of a book that he had some kind of fantastic proof. But while the theorem was found after Fermat's death, nobody ever found the proof and the problem went unsolved for centuries. The Star Trek: The Next Generation writers probably figured Fermat's Last Theorem would go on being a mystery for many centuries more. So they introduced it into the 1989 episode as an excuse for Picard to comment on how even the marvels of 24th century tech aren't enough to solve a problem posed by a Frenchman with no computer. But in 1994—five years after "The Royale" first aired on TV, when TNG was about to end its run—Andrew Wiles released the first successful proof of the theorem. |

The 10 Most Watched Episodes of Star Trek on Netflix
businessinsider.com by Amanda Luz Henning Santiago 09/11/2017 Netflix looked at data from over 100 million subscribers, in 190 different countries, to see which episodes of "Star Trek" were the most popular. The streaming site has all six iterations of the "Star Trek" series, but only two contained the most-watched episodes in the franchise: "Voyager" and "The Next Generation." (Netflix choose to discount the first two episodes in the series as those always tend to be the most popular.) In honor of "Star Trek: The Next Generation's" 30th anniversary (September 28), and the release of "Star Trek: Discovery," the franchise's newest series (September 24), here are the episodes people on Netflix love to watch the most. 10."Clues" Season 04 Episode 14 ST:TNG The crew learns that they were unconscious for longer than they were led to believe after passing through a wormhole. 09."Time and Again" Season 01 Episode 03 ST:Voyager The crew finds a planet that has endured a cataclysmic event. 08."Q Who?" Season 02 Episode 16 ST:TNG Q tries to prove that Captain Picard needs him by propelling the Enterprise 7,000 light years away - where they encounter the Borg. 07."Dark Frontier: Parts 1&2" Season 05 Episode 17 ST:Voyager Seven of Nine appears to return to the Borg of her own free will, after living freely with the Voyager crew for two years. 06."The Gift" Season 04 Episode 02 ST:Voyager Borg drone Seven of Nine tries to resist her human regeneration after being taken from her collective by the Voyager crew. 05."Scorpion: Part 2" Season 04 Episode 01 ST:Voyager In the season four premiere of "Voyager," the crew continues to combat the Borg space intruder. Janeway requests free passage through their territory in exchange for her wealth of knowledge. 04."Scorpion: Part 1" Season 03 Episode 26 ST:Voyager The crew encounters a problem that neither they nor the Borg can combat, while traveling through Borg Space, in the season three finale of "Voyager." 03."The Best of Both Worlds: Part 2" Season 04 Episode 01 ST:TNG In "The Next Generation's" season four premiere, interim Captain, Commander Riker, is forced to attack a Borg ship, even though Captain Picard is on board. 02."The Best of Both Worlds: Part 1" Season 03 Episode 26 ST:TNG The crew faces a deadly foe when responding to a call for help from one of the Federation's outermost colonies, in the season three finale of "The Next Generation." 01"Endgame: Parts: 1&2" Season 07 Episode 24 ST:Voyager The series finale of "Voyager" is the most watched and rewatched episode in the entire franchise according to Netflix. Admiral Janeway breaks all of the rules and travels back in time, 10 years after the crew's 23 year journey through space, in an attempt to change her past and future. |
