What episode am I thinking of
Posted by Sea-Music3985@reddit | TNG | View on Reddit | 15 comments
Used to watch TNG and Voyager as a young child, and have regularly gone back to it since. However there's one that I have a particularly strong memory of that I've never been able to place and don't know if I'm misremembering. I think it must have been TNG as I'm sure I remember the character in question being Geordie. My very faint memory is of them walking on frozen bodies, and then Geordie or possibly another character collapsing and their own breath freezing. For some reason thus image really freaked me out as a child, but it's one Ive never since been able to place I'm terms of which episode it was. I may be misremembering as we're talking something I watched possibly 20+ years ago, but any suggestions as to what I'm thinking of would be appreciated.

It's the season 1 episode the naked now. Episode 3

Naked now had been one that came up when I googled it, though I am aware of the first seasons reputation, haha. I don't know, I feel it may be a later one, I certainly would have been watching around 2001-3 at my best guess, I feel like I remembered Georgie in the gold uniform. Also I feel like I also remember not just freezing, but being unable to breath/losing breath/breath freezing, or something like that. As mentioned I may well be misremembering, and realise it was a very vague description!

You may also be thinking of the very early "TNG" episode called "The Naked Now." Geordi is part of an away team that beams over to a derelict starship, finds the crew all frozen to death, makes contact with a frozen body, and contracts the same infection that doomed the crew.

Except it mutated and the same cure didn't work.

Maybe one of these:
Tasha gets frozen in the Pilot Unknown Crewman gets frozen I believe in "Where Silence has Lease" And a Warpcore breach slowed down in time looks a bit like frozen breath in "Timescape"

Tasha and the Helmsman were frozen in "Encounter at Farpoint." That was Q's method of choice in that episode.
OP is thinking of "The Naked Now."
Also, OP, it's "Geordi" not "Geordie."

Ah, a pedant after my own heart, I can't help it either lol

*sigh* I know, I know...but every time I see something like "Geordie LaFarge" I want to write a sternly-worded letter to my congressman.

I ditto your sense of humor unknown Reddit person!

I'd completely forgotten the plot of that episode, all that I could remember was Data being "fully functional". Until Google helped me out.

Naked Now

This sounds like I think the second episode of TNG ever, back in 1987. Season 1 episodes don't get put in rerun rotation often because of how.... bad they are. The Naked Now is the name of the episode.

The Naked Now, there’s a TOS version of it too.

Sounds quite like TNG's The Naked Now. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Naked_Now_(episode)
