    a tenner rides on this so i hope im right!

    you know the eposide where the enterpise is trapped in super super super slow time and it looks like a romulon is attacking the enterprise?

    well in the engine room a explosion is taking place, and who draws a smily face on the cloud from the explosion. data or picard?

    thanks

    Picard drew it ye muppets

    "he triped and seen it" WTF! he was going some what nuts from the effect of that arm band drew the face and busted his ass laughing at it till he had a slight mental brake down

    He tripped and seen it ?? i mean come on ......what one of the crew in super slow down mode went out of there way to draw a face on the warp core breech :rolleyes: (which wouldnt be possible anyway seeming it would be normal time for them)

    He didnt draw it,
    he started laughing they looked over and piccard was just pointing and laughing at a smiley face.
    Either
    1. He drew it (we didnt see that)
    2. He just saw it because of (i cant remember but i think it was the effect of time dialation on his blood but that makes no sence, mabe it was lack of oxygen or something, hmm i cant remember what was wrong with him)

    But we didnt c him draw it i always assumed he saw it, all in his head. Makes me wish i had TNG on DVD and then i could see what was wrong with him cause it is starting to pisss me off now i cant remember what was said about his condition.

    that was a good episode, doesnt make any sense, but still an interesting episode


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley
    In "Timescape", an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Captain Jean-Luc Picard laughed hysterically at a smiley he carved in a cloud of smoke that was frozen in time. The cloud was a product of a warp core explosion.

    P-man drew it he didnt imagen it seeming data and troi where looking at it and no one else drew it because data and troi didnt draw it its simple bloody logic!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭The_Bullman


    Jean Luc drew it-just before he went nuts :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 738 ✭✭✭gaui3d0pnbz86o


    i thought myself Picard drew it,

    hurra i win!

    *sigh* user u muppet :) bizmarks right, picard draws the smiley face and starts laughing :)
    he gots the crazy brain worms! O_ó


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    All im saying is we didnt see him draw it,
    as i remember he is pointing and laughing at a smily face in the clowd.

    Dats wouldent laugh but mabe he would say "what is so humeropus about a smiley face outline in a warp core explosion)
    and troi might have smilled at it thinkin it was kinda funny

    I dont remember any other reaction out of the other chars

    Also if you touched a explsoion regardless of how slow it was going that explosion would still vaperiase your finger becvause the temperture within the gas explosion would be constant.

    heat transfer requires time, so it wouldn't :)

    so sayeth I.

    He was having a 'funny moment' due to side effects on the arm band he was wearing to keep him seperated from the frozen time scenario thingy 9as were data and troy) but it had started to drive him a bit fruity, so he drew the face in the cloud and then started to laugh as he pointed it out to the other two, expecting them both to find it as funny as he did (which they didn't).

    No id say there would be quite worryed that there captian has gone somewhat mad


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!


    Hm. I assumed he imagined it. The rest of them didn't seem to notice it there. Either way, you don't see him drawing it.

    You assumed wrong :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,867 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    You see Picard looking at the frozen cloud of smoke... the picture changes to Data and Troi.. Picard starts laughing, the picture changes back to show a smiley face in the cloud and Picard pointing at it... (I think we can assume he did it :))

    No, I don't have the episode on here at the mo..just remember that scene :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    Im sticking with he imagined it, we wont ever resolve this so i suggest we leave it before this gets damgerous *user gets his prototype type 11 hand phaser ready*

    whoops i started a war! :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    There is no proof that he drew it.
    I dont think he could have drawn it - if u stick ur finger into a warp core explosion its not going to be all right after


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!


    I really want to watch that scene again...

    I don't know what to believe.

    Heat transfere takes time user hes finger wouldnt of been hurt because of the near lack of time on board the ship


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    i must ask someone who does physics and get them to tell me can u stick ur finger into a explosion even if it is going several hundread times slower then normel time.
    The tempeture inside the explosion would still be to hot and would burn ur finger off me thinks


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    yeah you are right, you'll quicker burn the crap out of your hand on anything hot, the larger the temperature differential the quicker you'll burn the crap out of yourself.

    newtons law of cooling follows an exponential decay to equilbrium

    data


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!


    So... he couldn't have drawn it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark


    He bearly touched it 1 or 2 seconds at most

    how could he burn his finger off if there was little to no time on the ship


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden

    i don't know the context of the episode tbh. what he drew the smiley face in the steam from a warp core explosion?

    i wonder how far time was slowed down also?

    data

    Also it couldn't be giving out that much heat as time was slowed down, and the conservation of energy would apply. Which means that all the lights on the ship shouldn't really have been giving out light either but that would've been stupid...

    Picard draws it, and then points at it as if it's hillarious (and it is!) then bursts out laughing. I think they should've just continued on with the epsiode, as if Picard just decided to make a joke...
