Explain this meme for somebody who's not getting it?
To add to the great answer, this is from TNG Season Five, Episode 18: Cause and Effect
I consider it among the all-time best episodes of any science fiction show.
The redundancy of 3s, especially at the poker game and then the final solution blew my then 13 year old brain.
I agree, this is one of the best episodes out there. My only gripe is the great Kelsey Grammar is relegated to a few lines at the end. But it's one of my favorites.
Basically, time loop of the enterprise being destroyed. Tractor beam fails to stop the danger, eventually riker decompresses the shuttle bay which shunts the enterprise out of the way and breaks the loop
Close, but not quite: Data suggest tractor beam, Riker shuttle bay decompression. Picard orders tractor beam, it fails, Enterprise destroyed, timeloop begins anew.
New try, this time Data sends "3" back in the timeline to indicate that they should listen to the commander.
New try, Data understands his message just in time to also decompress the shuttle bay along with the tractor beam shenanigans. All are saved and live happily ever after.
Eh, close enough to give the jist of it
There seems to be a lot you dont get.
Oh jeez, you're one of those profile stalkers? Get a life dude
