Riker finds the idea of Geordi, a blind man, teaching an android to paint funny, but thinks it'll be in the history books someday.
#Minuet tng how to
The Bynars keep him aboard so that they have a back-up if they can't restart the planetary computer.Įlementary, My Dear Data: He's learning how to paint. He's pretty cut up to find, after the Bynars have returned control of the computer, that Minuet has reverted to a basic hologram. He has a go on the holo-band's trombone while he's wooing Minuet. Number One: He loves his jazz, but thinks that blondes and jazz don't go together. He gets to pilot the ship - a rare treat for the captain. He convinces Riker to assist him in setting the ship's self-destruct systme, before they retake the bridge. The Picard Maneouvre: Surprisingly affected by Minuet as well - I mean, we expect these things from Riker, but not Jean-Luc. She even accesses the French database so she can chat up Picard. She is far more realistic than any hologram seen so far, and Riker falls for her. Minuet is at least partly self-aware, and knows that she is a computer programme intended to captivate Riker long enough for the Bynars to take over the ship. Riker tries out blonde and redhead variations before he settles on the sultry brunette, played by Carolyn McCormack. Sexy Trek: In order to keep Riker and Picard distracted, the Bynars reprogramme the holodeck to create Minuet, a sexy jazz siren. Seeing everything as in yes/no terms, they didn't ask for help in case they were refused. The computer on Bynaus is under threat from a supernova, which will knock it out with an electromagnetic pulse. However, they take over the Enterprise so that they can use its computer core. Four Bynars called 1-0, 0-1, 1-1 and 0-0 are at Starbase 74 for repair and maintenance. They live and work in pairs, linked together, finishing each other's sentences, and can communicate in a high-speed digital speech. The Bynars are all tied in to an enormous central computer on their home planet, Bynaus, in Beta Magellan. It's the same with their cybernetic head implants, which channel information from a buffer on their waists. Their ears are asymmetrical, which is fun, and each Bynar's partner has the same ears, but reversed, so they're symmetrical only in pairs. Like the Talosians from 'The Cage,' they are played by women but with masculine voices (downshifted rather than dubbed) to make them seem androgynous.

Planets visited: Starbase 74 orbits Tarsus III, in the Sol Sector (Earth's local sector).Īlien Life Forms: The Bynars, diminutive humanoids with big heads and purplish skin. The Mission: Take back the Enterprise after it is stolen during computer maintenance at Starbase 74.
