TNG 3×05: The Bonding (Deleted Scene, Act II, scene 16)
“I just thought you might feel the same way.”
I will never be over the fact that they cut this scene. It tells so much about what it was like for Deanna growing up, and how hard it was for her to grieve for her father when no one would let her talk about it.
Holy shit. I was just thinking about how little we learn of Betazed culture from Troi and I didn’t even know this scene was shot. WTF, Star Trek?
Eventually the 20th Century History class at Starfleet Academy stops being a fringey elective and becomes a required course, and all the cadets are like “this is so irrelevant, why do we have to learn this” and anyone who’s been around for a while is like “there is an 812% chance that you will time travel to the 20th century during your Starfleet career”
“but the temporal prime directive"
“At the very least you will get trapped a holodeck program based on the 20th century, and you will need to know all these weird idioms”
“But why is it only the 20th – ”
“We don’t know why it’s only the 20th century we have a whole corps of scientists trying to figure out what’s happening with that it seriously makes no sense but in the meantime, knowing how to work a combustion engine is pretty much guaranteed to save your life so get the hell on that.”
time is focusing in on the point where we tested the hadron collider.
