Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)All TNG fans have one, and this is mine. "The Naked Now" is my big, huge, titanic TNG Guilty Pleasure. (And yes, I'm well-aware it's basically TOS "Naked Time" in a TNG suit.)
This episode is known for one thing and one thing only: Data has sex with Tasha. This act (which takes place off-screen) is so monumental that an entire fandom is built around its singular occurence. We're talking this is the one where we find out just what the term "fully functional" actually MEANS.
In short, everybody on the Enterprise is "intoxicated" by some sort of space disease that makes them lose control and do all sorts of things their sickeningly goody-goody selves secretly want to do but repress. Picard and Crusher get all het up. Wesley takes over the ship. Troi babbles about being One with Riker's Mind. (Why? I don't know. The man is as dumb as a box of rocks.) And, of course, Data and Tasha do the Wild Thing. The Enterprise is then threatened by a Deadly Situation -- the nature of which is so inane it escapes me -- and Crusher races against time to find a cure for the intoxication before the ship explodes or the pan comes for them or something. She finds the cure just in the nick of time and Wesley saves the day. Of course. Then, repressed and back to normal, Tasha says to Data: "It Never Happened."
Sure, sociologists write about "Naked Now" in clinical terms but we all know why they REALLY watch it.
A must-own for all Data fans.
Whenever I need a dose of Star Trek Therapy, I plug "Naked Now" into the VCR and watch the entire crew of the Enterprise go gonzo. Makes me see just how in control my life actually IS.
