Observe the space station. See it spin. Nothing strange about this, is there? After all, every space station that we know of spins, because that's how they make gravity. But, and this is a big but, this is a Federation outpost, and the Federation, as we know from the Enterprise which conspicuously does not spin around all the time, has the technology to make centrifugal gravity redundant. Well, you might argue, perhaps they used the old gravity on the station because of budget problems, stuff like that. Okay, you could be right. One thing still puzzles me though; there are several scenes in which the windows of the station are seen in the background. If the station is spinning fast enough to create centrifugal gravity, why don't the stars move as seen through the windows? No-one seems to have considered that . . .
Aquiel has obviously been with the Klingons for a while, yet she has a bump on her head and blood on her face and uniform. Why haven't they let her clean herself up?
Worf speaks, in no uncertain terms, to the Klingon Commander in Klingon. Was the Universal Translator having a coffee break while he was saying whatever it was?
How could Geordi have "picked up a couple of languages when we were moving around"? Is the Universal Translator really only local?
Why do they have to make a physical scan of the shuttle? In the episode 'A matter of Time' the computer not only located all the weapons on Rasmussen's time machine but rendered them inoperative, so why couldn't the computer have located the weapon?
It would have been a great deal more Star Trek if they'd used a white woman instead of a black one to play Aquiel and buddy up with La Forge, who should be congratulated on the fact that the first woman he's scored with doesn't turn out to be an alien that wants to eat him. Ha!
I sometimes wonder if it's difficult for other actors to work with the La Forge character. There are scenes here where Aquiel gazes deeply into Geordi's eyes, which of course are not visible as they are obscured by his visor. No different, I suppose, from playing opposite someone who wears mirrored sunglasses, but not too easy, I would have thought. Just thinking out loud . . .
