![]() Picard throws out more natural exposition here about how the Bynars have, over the centuries, developed a language that's really similar to Binary, and that they commune with the computer on their homeworld.īecause the script calls for everyone to talk about how orgasmically awesome this ship is, Riker remarks that it will be interesting to see how the Bynars improve upon the already fantastic performance of the ship's computer. "I've never encountered this race before, but I think they may be perfect for this job," makes more sense. And if you are going to attempt that, at least reverse the order. don't take two kinds of exposition and try to make them one. They leave so Riker can give the world's most awkward exposition: "The Bynars seem perfect for this job, even though I've never met this race." Picard and Riker tell them that they're staying on the ship in case they need anything, but Quinteros, who thinks highly of himself, insists that they won't need anything until final inspection. The Bynars aren't happy to hear this, but agree to get the work done in that amount of time. Picard tells them that they only have 48 hours to get their shit done, because they have to be somewhere after that. They are also super-stoked to be working on this, "the largest mobile computer" in existence. Quinteros says the pink guys are not guys, or gals, they're the Bynars, and they're "a unified pair." Their names are One-Zero and Zero-One. Riker, squicked out, changes the subject to the pink guys. ![]() This conversation is kind of creepy and self-congratulatory for no reason. Quinteros then also jacks off in congratulating himself for being in charge of the E's construction in the first place, and he takes credit for Picard's obvious delight in the ship.Then, without washing their hands, they clap one another on the back in solidarity and brotherhood. His enthusiasm for this subject almost matches that of Scotty. Quinteros asks if there are any problems to report with the ship, and Picard starts jacking off to how awesome his ship is. Of course the fandom is paying attention. It isn't really explained, and they probably don't want us to be paying too much attention to timelines, which mostly says that the showrunners hadn't been paying a whole lot of attention with TOS, when they developed the nerdiest, nitpickiest, most pedantic fandom on Earth. He gives the name of a place, and I guess we could extrapolate from that that the name of the outpost that they were supposed to be defending from the Romulans was called that. ![]() Quinteros remarks that the E is a week late for their overhaul, and Riker says they were delayed.
