Good ol' science fiction lets our characters get into many altered states and weird dimensions.

In Where No One Has Gone Before, Picard's mom serves him tea. Later, he almost gets sucked into space from a turbolift. Worf sees a targ, while Yar sees a kitty and thinks she is back on her home planet. Two people run away from something in the hallway, and a guy sees fire in the hallway. A Lieutenant or Ensign thinks she is a ballerina, and a guy thinks he is in a string quartet.

In Coming Of Age, Remmick tells Data, "You are an android." Well, duh!
In We'll Always Have Paris, Mannheim doesn't think anyone could understand his theories. Data assures him he can because he is an android. Data also tells Picard he is an android and therefore dispensible.

In Elementary Dear Data, Data smokes a pipe which might have real fire.
In Loud As a Whisper, Troi has candles in her quarters.

Geordi uses his super eyesight to save the ship.

In Encounter At Farpoint, Bev asks Geordi whether he wants to replace his VISOR. He says he doesn't want to because he'll lose his special abilities. Later, he shows what his VISOR can do by examining underneath Farpoint and finding out it's no ordinary station.
In Justice, they can't figure out anything about the "God" ship using sensors. Geordi has to go and look out the window to examine it.
In Hide and Q, Geordi can look at Worf going to meet the vicious animal things. He also locates a girl under the rocks at the mining disaster on Quadra Sigma III.
In Too Short a Season, Geordi notices an infrared electric eye "tripwire" in the tunnel.
In Home Soil, Geordi looks in the mining tunnel and sees the crystalline life-forms. He later examines them in the lab.

In Unnatural Selection, Geordi can tell that the clones are lying.
In Shades Of Gray, Geordi sees spectral variations in the plant.


On the other hand, sometimes Geordi's VISOR malfunctions or gets sabotaged, or he has some type of problem having to do with blindness, causing the problem of the week.

In We'll Always Have Paris, They're talking about some bar at the end of the show. Jean-Luc tells Deanna she's "buying" the drinks.
In The Emissary, they seem to be betting money in their poker game.


Our friends show their musical ability.

In Encounter At Farpoint, Data tries to whistle "Pop Goes the Weasel." Riker shows up in the holodeck and whistles the end of it perfectly. Data is amazed that humans can whistle so well.
In Where No One Has Gone Before, an officer (could be either a liutenant or an ensign) does a ballet dance. Also, a guy sitting at the table plays the air-violin.
In Hide And Q, a Vicious Animal Thing plays the bugle.
In Haven, Mr. Homm plays the gong every time Lwaxana eats. (Maybe this should be under weird alien customs!)

Every once in a while, the officers discuss mutiny or there's some insubordination.

In Lonely Among Us, the senior officers discuss Picard's nutty behaviour.
In Time Squared, Pulaski bitches to Troi about Picard being nuts. She wants to mutiny. Later, Troi sneaks out of Sickbay, even though Picard ordered her to stay there. Maybe to get away from Kate? She sneaks back into Sickbay later.


Sometimes our crew call each other by unusual names.

In Encounter At Farpoint, Troi empathically calls Riker "Imzadi." Riker calls Data "Pinocchio." Bev, talking to Riker, refers to Picard as "Jean-Luc."

In Heart Of Glory, Picard isn't sure whether the Batris is a Talarian ship or a Taralian ship.
In Skin Of Evil, Picard says Au Revoir to "Natasha."

The crew is often concerned with the Prime Directive.

In Code Of Honor, Data and Picard fret over stealing the vaccine and violating the Prime Directive.
In Justice, Picard frets with Bev about rescuing Wesley and breaking the Prime Directive. Picard eventualy yells at the god about the Prime Directive, and the god decides it's okay to break it this time.
In Coming Of Age, Remmick hassles everybody about all the times Picard broke the Prime Directive. He mentions The Naked Now, Encounter At Farpoint, and Justice.
In Pen Pals, everybody frets about Data contacting Sarjenka.


Occasionally, somebody decides to give a primitive the honor of experiencing life aboard the Enterprise.

In Justice, Picard beams the Edo woman up to ask her about the god ship.


Here's weird things that happen to the ship.

In Encounter At Farpoint, the helm seems to be on the wrong side of the bridge. The Captain's chair arm controls are also on the wrong side. (A mirror universe?) They separate the saucer section, leaving Worf in command.
In 11001001, they have to evacuate the ship. Later, Picard and Riker set auto-destruct.
In A Matter Of Honor, Riker asks Picard if they should separate the saucer section. Picard says no.
In The Arsenal Of Freedom, Geordi decides to separate the saucer section, probably to get rid of the jerk engineer, Logan.
In Where Silence Has Lease, Riker and Picard set the self-destruct.
In Contagion, the virus causes several problems: The replicators, door bells, weapons, lights, shields, turbolifts, medical implements, and commbadges all malfunction.
In The Icarus Factor, Starbase Montgomery completely checks out the Enterprise.
In Up the Long Ladder, the ship now has a fire-suppression system. It was apparently installed sometime after Loud As a Whisper.
In Peak Performance, the Ferengi fuse the Enterprise's weapons in simulation mode and blow up their transporter.


Shuttlecraft they use: I didn't read any books about the shuttles, I just tried to look at their names as I watched.

In Coming Of Age, a kid steals an unknown shuttle.
In Skin Of Evil, Ben and Troi use shuttle 13 to come back from a conference. It crashes and gets covered up by Armus. At the end, the Enterprise destroys it. Maybe 13 *is* bad luck!
In The Child, Kate boards from the shuttle Cousteau of the ship Repulse. She's afraid of transporters.
In Unnatural Selection, Data and Kate fly near the ship in shuttle 01 to examine one of the children.
In Time Squared, Picard 2 is in an extra shuttlepod El-Baz.
In Q Who?, Q tricks Picard into shuttle 06.
In Smaritan Snare, Wes and Jean-Luc go to Starbase 515 in shuttle 01. Wes calls it shuttle 2, but it says 01 on it.


Picard orders "Tea, Earl Grey, hot."

In Contagion, Picard orders "Tea, Earl Grey, hot" for the first time. He gets some weird drink, however.
In Pen Pals, Picard orders "tea, earl grey, hot"


Our heroes often find themselves traveling through time.

In We'll Always Have Paris, they all experience a time loop of a couple seconds at the beginning of the show. Picard is fencing, and everything repeats itself. They meet their past selves in the turbolift. Mannheim is floating through 2 time dimensions. Data encounters a past and future self. This is caused by Mannheim's experiments.
In Time Squared, Picard and El-Baz pod travel back in time 6 hours, caused by the vortex blowing up the Enterprise.


One of the original goals in TNG was not to make the transporter malfunction so much. And it usually doesn't, but sometimes there's interference. And they also sometimes work miracles or do other weird things with the transporter.

In The Last Outpost, the big crystals on the planet's surface interfere with the transporter. They beam down in separate locations. Geordi is even hanging upside down!
In Lonely Among Us, Picard transports out, energy only. Later, he sneaks his energy back in and they reconstitute his mass.
In Datalore, Wes beams Lore out with the shields up. But of course he didn't.
In When the Bough Breaks, they can't beam up and down through Aldea's special shield.
In Heart Of Glory, there is too much radiation to get a good lock on them in the Talarian ship. They have to get far away from the reactor. Then Yar has a hard time getting a lock on them anyway.
In Symbiosis, they can't use the transporter because of the solar flares. They have to link their transporter with the transporter on the Sanction.
In Skin Of Evil, Armus generates an energy field so they can't beam. They can only beam when they make Armus upset.
In We'll Always Have Paris, they get bounced back from the lab because of a security system. Later, Data transports down to a certain safe point.
In 11001001, Picard and Riker beam directly from the transporter room to the bridge.
In The Schizoid Man, Geordi executes a "near-warp transport." Troi never heard of it.
In Unnatural Selection, Kate complains about scrambled atoms. Miles checks Data for lifeforms while he's beaming up. Miles materializes the Styrolite coating befor the child. Data and Miles are able to totally cure Kate from some of her DNA, and all the scientists from either DNA or their transporter traces.
In Manhunt, the transporter is unable to scan for ultritium. Then when Lwaxana tells them about it, it suddenly can.
In Shades Of Gray, Riker can't beam up without a medical override because of the plant germs.


Here's all the assorted violence I couldn't figure out a category for.

In Lonely Among Us, Worf and Engineer Singh both get zapped by the energy being. Of course, Worf lives and Singh dies.
In Justice, the communication globe knocks over Data. Of course, Wes breaks the greenhouse, and the enforcers try to kill Wes. The Edo god starts to ram the Enterprise.
In The Arsenal Of Freedom, Riker gets paralyzed by the Echo Papa 607.
In Symbiosis, an Ornaran zaps Riker with electricity. An Ornaran and a Breccian zap each other.
