Q; Why doesn't Worf use his communicator to call for assistance?
A; My theory is that he never bothered to try to communicate with the outside world after Troi tried and failed.
When Picard was in his quarters practising his flute, he was interrupted by Data and Geordi together, later followed by Worf and Beverly separately. Why is everyone visiting him in his cabin? Surely if he's in his cabin he's not on duty, otherwise he'd be on the Bridge. Okay, so Beverly's request is an informal one regarding a play she plans to put on, but couldn't she just have asked him via her comm. badge? Worf surely should have taken his schedules to the Officer in Command for approval, whom one would assume to be on the Bridge, so why does he come to Picard? Data and Geordi again should surely have made their request of the Commanding Officer, once again on the Bridge. What's going on this ship?
Worf decks the bad guy using the same open handed blow that I've seen Riker use. I wonder what school of martial arts it's from? Mok'Bara? Whichever, Worf needs practice. His combination moves are sooooo slooooow . . .
Troi's upper-class accent may perhaps be regarded as being on a par with Dick van Dyke's cockerneee. It's amusing near the end of the show to hear her (presumably inadvertently) dropping back into her 'Sarf' London accent.
Data presents Spot with Feline Supplement number 127. Why on earth do they have such a large variety? Of course, I suppose not all the felines on board may be liddul puddy tats like Spot, but it still seems a large number. Ah yes, I suspect that secreted behind Data's laptop (in real life) was Spot's real-life dinner, hence his eagerness to get to it.
Curious to consider that, in the Next Generation's only Western, from a crew principally staffed by Americans the leading players should be one and a half Klingons, an android and a Brit.
It is perhaps fortunate that the various Datas were apparently unaware of their strength, as the one in jail could very easily have simply broken out.
And for anyone who didn't notice it, check out the direction the Enterprise is taking in the final shot of the show. If you didn't notice this first time round, go back and watch it again, it was a really nice touch!
