Thoughts on Hollow Pursuits:
ohhh its the first Barclay episode
man's got some pent up issues with upper command
everyone likes Deanna Troi. understandable but please not on the holodeck.
"Broccoli" guys please I know he's a piece of work but come on
the contrast of fantasy and reality jesus Barclays a time bomb waiting to happen (knowing TNG hes gonna get his shit together but right now...)
Barclay, he means fix it now.
Wesley, we need to talk about nicknames.
Picards like "we can fix him"
LaForge is trying i love him.
Barclays gonna fuck it up isnt he. hes gonna be late cause he's on the holodeck--CALLED IT--oh hes only a minute late.
Barclay has some insecurity and damn that was some side-eye he had at the beginning of the meeting.
And smash-cut to a holodeck simulation. Bro. get off the holodeck.
Marina Sirtis looks ethereal in this scene but im also uncomfortable with the fantasizing about Troi.
Uhhhh what happened to the glass?
Data you smart for calling out the nickname thing.
"i was going to do that" Barclay, breathe. focus. Please try.
Oh god, Picard, dont say the nickname. please dont. please. FUCK.
Data trying to excuse Picards fuckup.
Guinan playing workplace therapist i love her so much.
To be fair, this is a tough workplace situation, but... Barclay needs a little reality check. im sure he'll get it.
I'm only feeling secondhand embarrassment from this because LaForge walked in on it.
Fake-Data was the funniest shit.
LaForge is being so chill about this but he's trying to work with Barclay. Its helping and turning into a heart-to-heart.
"Just shy." bros heard that a ton.
Barclay: "noo I can't talk to her ive had too many holodeck fantasies but I can't tell LaForge that."
Barclay is trying so hard to not be inappropriate thank goodness. hes probably gonna fuck it up but hes trying.
Barclay bolting cause he's trying not to get weird on Troi good for him.
Ohhhhh shit this is gonna get awkward. LaForge tried to warn Riker and Troi HELP THIS IS GONNA BE SO AWKWARD.
Riker is understandably uncomfortable with this.
I'm sorry the acting for this is so fucking funny even with the secondhand embarrassment.
Troi's having a laugh but shes probably not gonna laugh at the end of this. Yep there it is. Now Riker finds it funny. Little shit.
The power fluctuations are getting concerning as fuck right now.
Oooh Troi's mad. Real mad.
Ohhh Barclay, hun. the holodiction got you real bad.
Oh shit. shit. SHIT. everything just jammed. FUCK. We're about to go fast as fuck.
Barclay got it! Human connection transmission. And its the invidium from the canisters! or it could be?
We're really cutting it done to the wire with 30 seconds. Christ.
Barclay's leaving? nah I doubt it. CALLED IT. But he's closing the book on most of his holodeck fantasy programs.
