Captain's Holiday.

STTNG

Star Trek The Next Generation Season Three

Worf objects to Picard's going down to the surface without a security detail on the grounds that the Enterprise will be out of communications range when they leave orbit. This is a little surprising, considering that in an earlier episode ('The Schizoid Man') they were able to drop an Away Team planetside (admittedly on another planet) and afterwards to zoom off, at warp speed mark you, while merrily chatting to the Away Team via the communicators. Peculiar, non? Ah well, local conditions must account for it, I suppose.

Picard calls for a two-second delay before executing transporter code 14. Bit of a fast two seconds, wasn't it? I'm assuming here that when he bellows "Mark!" he's not calling to somebody called, er, Mark but rather he intends the two second delay to commence from that time. I didn't take a stopwatch to it, but according to my wristwatch the Tox Uthat is vapourised in a shade over a second from Picard's mark. This seems a tad abrupt.
