Troi and Worf. "If we are to continue", says Worf; I mean, when did they start? Sure they got together in a parallel universe, and sure they got together in Troi's recent hallucination, but in our universe, they haven't started yet. What gives?
The Season Seven effect goes into warp drive with appearances from Q, O'Brien and of course Tasha Yar. Some might wish to include Troi's legs, which we haven't seen since the very early days. Where has Majel Barrett been lately, though? When did you last hear the computer speak? I can't remember myself.
Twice while Picard and Geordi are walking in the vineyard, the name of Leah is mentioned in connection with Geordi. Picard offers Geordi his hospitality, but warns that his cooking won't be as good as Leah's, inferring that Geordi is cooked for on a regular basis by someone called Leah. Geordi says he heard about Picard's illness as Leah has connection's in Starfleet Medical, so he's obviously in some way intimate with someone called Leah. Could this be Leah Brahms, one wonders, the girl who helped to design the Enterprise and has popped up in an episode or two, first as a hologram and then as her real (but married) self? If so, I wonder what happened to hubby?
Strange to see that Data has emotions now (consistent, though, with the plot line from "Generations" the Movie). No mention seems to be made of how he acquired them. I wonder if this was the writers thinking ahead. If so, good work. Curiously though, he doesn't look a day older in the future than he does in the past (apart from his artificial grey streak). Yet in the episode where we met his mother, she was said to have the same ageing program as Data does. So why hasn't he aged?
The scenes from the past would seem to indicate that it is 'our' Picard who travels in time. When he goes backward, he retains all his present day knowledge, yet when he goes forward, he gains the knowledge of the Picard of that period. How so? Mind you, it's a funny business, time travel.
