Звездный путь: Следующее поколение Realm of Fear (1987–1994) Online

The Enterprise locates the scientific research ship USS Yosemite, which went missing while exploring plasma streams. Geordi assigns reluctant engineer Lieutenant Reg Barclay, whose idea it was, to help him bridge both ships' transport systems and join Riker's away team, but after a deconstruction phobia-caused hesitation and anxiety counseling with Troi, Barclay goes later, alone. Riker's team finds victims of an explosion, which may fit the Ferengi report Picard receives of an allegedly Cardassian attack. While Barclay beams back, he notices an eel-shaped entity which floats to him and touches his left arm in the phased matter stream, but a full transporter diagnostic finds no problem, so he fears to be a victim of incurable transporter psychosis, although none was reported on modern models for years. Geordi realizes either would fit with the same ionic fluctuation phenomenon suggested by in se acceptable abnormal transporter readings. Worried about Barclay's mental condition, Troi ...

The first Trek episode to show a transporter process from the transported's point of view.

Barclay asks Geordi if there was anything strange that ever happened to him in the transporter beam. Geordi replies that nothing strange ever happened to him in the transporter beam, but in the episode the Next Phase, Geordi and Ensign Ro were in a transporter episode where their molecules were shifted out of phase.

O'Brien's collar insignia changes from lieutenant (two pips) to chief (one black pip) in this episode. According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, this was done to reinforce the plot point that lieutenant Barclay outranks O'Brien.

The multi-level Jefferies tube, which is directly attached to Engineering, makes its first appearance here. It had been discussed in previous stories.

Dan Curry, covered in a green suit, puppeteered the transporter creatures.

This episode marks the first appearance of the Admiral's uniform which would be used for the rest of the series and much of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Star Trek producer Brannon Braga really enjoyed writing this episode. He remarked: "Certainly it was one of my most personal episodes. People around here say I'm Barclay. I hate flying and that's where the idea came from. If I lived in the 24th Century, I'd be afraid to transport so I enjoyed exploring some of the deeper neuroses that Barclay had."

This is silently understood as a Star Trek version of the short story "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" by Richard Matheson, using the transporter beam as a metaphor of the original's airliner. The television adaptation The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (1963) starred William Shatner, who shortly afterwards landed the legendary role of Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek (1966). "Nightmare" author Matheson, an accomplished novelist, was one of three primary writers of The The Twilight Zone (1959), and wrote two more Shatner vehicles: The Twilight Zone: Nick of Time (1960) and Star Trek: The Enemy Within (1966). The latter was Matheson's only Star Trek writing and an important milestone in defining Kirk's character.

Zayra IV was named for production staff associate Zayra Cabot.

The red giant and white dwarf in the Igo sector seen in this episode were originally from "Evolution" and later re-used as a similar stellar phenomenon in the Topin system in "Preemptive Strike".

A brief insert shot of Barclay getting a glass of water from his replicator is a stock shot from TNG: "The Vengeance Factor", as Riker's red Starfleet uniform can be seen reflected from inside the replicator.

In the scene where Troi tells Barclay that people have been afraid of transporting for a long time, she could be referencing Dr. McCoy. Dr. McCoy was, perhaps, the best known of these. It wasn't uncommon for him to make a comment about having his "atoms scattered all over the universe."

Admiral Hayes is seen here without the standard combadge.

The creatures seen in the transporter beam were designed by Dan Curry and built by modelmaker Cary Howe.

This takes place in 2369.

This a first-person perspective of the transport process was seen again in "Prototype".

Barclay mentions in this episode that spiders never bothered him. Later, in "Genesis" (also written by Brannon Braga), Barclay would de-evolve into a spider-like creature.

In the final scene, Christina represents O'Brien's fear of spiders, and O'Brien (the transporter chief) is a literal representation of Barclay's fear of the transporter.

This is the only appearance of O'Brien's pet spider Christina.

ST:TNG:128 - "Realm Of Fear" (Stardate: 46041.1) - this is the 2nd episode of the 6th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

In another episode involving Dwight Schultz as Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III, this one deals with his fear of the transporter. At first he is reluctant to go on an Away Team mission, but when he transports, a mysterious creature appears in the matter stream and touches his arm. Then, back on the Enterprise, his arm starts to radiate with light where the creature touched him! What is causing this? Is Barclay going delusional? Find out in the first of many exciting 6th season episodes (this season in my opinion is second best only to the 3rd season).

Trivia note: we finally get to see a person's POV as they are transported. Patti Yasutake makes another appearance as Nurse Alyssa Ogawa. We also hear O'Brien regale Barclay with his arachnophobia and how he overcame his fear of spiders - thus, introducing him to his pet tarantula!

And, O'Brien mentions the "Heisenberg Compensators" used in the transporter, mentions there hasn't been a case of transporter psychosis in 50 years, and O'Brien has held the transporter chief position for 22 years).

The Enterprise is investigating the mystery behind the USS Yosemite's communication silence, a science vessel studying a remote "Plasma Streamer", having been pulled into the streamer after getting a bit too close. Most of the crew is missing from the ship except a badly burned engineer, with heavy damage to the transporter on the Yosemite. Neurotic Systems Engineer, Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz), is overwhelming afraid of transporters, and when Geordi wants him to accompany the away team to the Yosemite, he just can't bring himself to do it. With help from Counselor Troi, Barclay may be able overcome his mortal terror, but, sure enough, when he finally does go through with it, he encounters microbes floating in the molecular stream, including what looks like a giant worm with only a mouth that seems to bite him! While Dr. Crusher tries to understand what happened to the engineer (his heart and pulse rate both temporarily surging back to life), she will also have Barclay's physical health to worry about as something has begun to affect his molecular structure, ionic disturbance right around the arm where the worm perhaps touched him. As the story is structured this is about confronting your ultimate fear so you can overcome it, the ability to function better as result of the process. Because Schultz has a knack for parlaying nervous anxiety and innate fear, this story works especially well. And the tailor-made episode especially suited to his character also allows Barclay to become a hero in the possible rescue of the missing crew members. I'm not sure why there haven't been more suspenseful stories centered around the transporter, horrifying things can happen, going back as far Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Plenty of dialogue does revolve around how safe the transporter is as a way to travel, even though Barclay's complaints on the dangers have validity/merit. One small mistake could mean disaster. This episode proves it when the bio-filter doesn't catch the microbes in the stream; this transportation process isn't fool-proof. This episode also has a nice part for Colm Meaney's Chief O'Brien whose record of transporting officers without loss is impeccable, and he does get a bit defensive when Barclay rattles on about the possibilities of tragedy that could result in the slightest miscalculation or problem. His sharing to Barclay of an arachnophobic fear, talking about having to deal with it in order to complete an assignment provides some insight in the O'Brien character. He was on his way to Deep Space Nine.

As with any Barclay episode, your enjoyment of this one depends on your ability to accept that such an intractably neurotic individual would be assigned to the most prestigious starship in the fleet. Even if the guy is a brilliant engineer, wouldn't it be more realistic for him to be working in some innocuous R&D position on, say, Earth? Wouldn't you know it, that is exactly what we eventually see him doing on Star Trek: Voyager.

Anyway, Barclay's bad transporter trip and subsequent bout of hypochondria finally push him over the edge, and he is ever-so-gently found unfit for duty by Counselor Troi. Naturally, Barclay can't leave well enough alone, so he rouses the senior staff in the middle of the night to demonstrate how not crazy he is. Fortunately for his Starfleet career and his fragile psyche, he proves that he really did see strange intestinal-looking sock puppet creatures in the transporter beam, and they turn out to be missing crew members from the damaged science ship. Super.

Long story short, it's a decent enough episode about facing one's fears, though the underlying message might have been more effective if the plot had revolved around a character who wasn't so high-strung to begin with.

When the Enterprise discovers the missing Federation vessel, the USS Yosemite, a team is assembled to beam over. This team includes Reg Barclay, who is terrified of teleporting; so terrified in fact that he initially backs out of going. After talking to Counsellor Troi he plucks up courage to go and the transport goes without incident. However when he beams back he sees what he thinks is a creature in the matter stream; a creature that tries to grab his arm. Chief O'Brien and Geordi reassure him that there is nothing wrong with the equipment and Dr Crusher tells him he hasn't been affected. He continues to worry though, convincing himself that he has 'transporter psychosis' a condition that sometimes occurred with early transporters but hasn't been reported in decades. Eventually he decides there is only one way to be certain; he will transport again.

Barclay was the ideal character to lead this episode; we already know he is a rather nervous character so it is of no surprise that he has a phobia about transporting. Dwight Schultz does a great job in the role making us believe in the character's fears. We also get to see more of Chief O'Brien that a typical TNG episode and learn about his own phobia; spiders. This episode is also interesting as it shows us what people see as they are transported; an effect that was pretty good and fitted in with the classic look from outside. When we learn the cause of what Reg saw in the matter stream it was nice that it wasn't in fact some malevolent creature. Overall an interesting episode which is a little different to most as it focuses on an occasional character.

Back on Star Trek prime DeForest Kelley voiced a negative opinion of the Enterprise Transport system. Just the thought of one's molecules being disassembled and reassembled gave him the willies.

Apparently Lt. Reg Barkley feels the same way. Dwight Schultz in one of his guest appearances as the enigmatic Barkley says he has the Enterprise record for shuttle flights. This all comes up when the Enterprise is called on to a rescue mission, but finds the small science ship seemingly abandoned.

When Schultz transports over there he develops some strange feelings and symptoms. More I cannot tell you, but his feelings turn out to be not psychosomatic but quite real.

I did love the resolution of one of my favorite TNG episodes.

When the episode begins, there is a stranded ship and transporting over to it is going to be rough according to O'Brien. Well, this scares the crap out of Barkley, as he's always hated the transporter--but this makes his fears so bad that he's about to have a panic attack. When he finally does manage to go there, he sees some REALLY weird slug-like beings while being transported. Naturally, he thinks he's losing his mind and spends A LOT of the episode fretting...a lot! Later, however, he comes to realize that what he saw might be real and it might have something to do with the disappearance of some crew members.

This is an okay episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". I have seen other Barkley episodes that were more interesting and memorable. I guess I just found the episode a bit confining (since they didn't go much of anywhere) and found Barkley's worries getting a bit old here.

Ensign Barclay is dreadfully afraid of the transporter. This has been so since his days at Starfleet Academy. When the Yosemite has been found floating with only one person aboard, he is expected to beam over and help Geordi with his analysis. Just as he is about to go, he runs from the transporter room. After Troi teaches him some relaxation techniques, he gives it another try and manages to beam over. One his return, a large wormlike creature with lamprey-like teeth comes at him while he is in the middle of the transport. He is panic stricken but because of his history, he doesn't tell anyone. What is happening to him is a part of the mystery on board the Yosemite. Finally, he needs to know and has O'Brien beam him over and back. The results are pretty amazing. This episode is thoughtful, but watching Barclay is like drinking too many cups of coffee. He literally bounces off the walls.
