Star Trek The Next Generation Season Four

Q; Why would O'Brien go to the trouble of tumbling off a chair to fool himself that he had been hanging a plant when he was stunned, thus doing a nasty to his elbow?

A; My assumption here is that he hurt his elbow the first time he was stunned, never got around to having it treated (sprains can get worse with time) and then when it did get bad he gamely held off from having it treated for the sake of authenticity.

Q; Why would Picard inform Data that he would in all probability be "stripped down to his wires" in the event of his appearing in front of a court-martial when it was Picard himself who fought to establish Data's rights as a sentient being in the episode "The Measure of a Man"?

A; My guess would be that it was because Picard had had to fight so hard for those rights that he suspected that they may be summarily withdrawn.

Q; How come Worf's wrist hurts? When Beverly healed Ishaya Yar's busted ribs, she told her there'd be a little muscle soreness but no pain.

A; I might speculate here that a busted rib does not have the same kind of tensions placed upon it as does a wrist. Ribs just kind of sit there keeping all your internal goodies safe from the odd bump or two, whereas wrists are up at the break of day, flexing here, bending there, from dawn till dusk.

Is it just me, or do I clearly detect one Spiner, B. playing the Holodeck gangster at the beginning of this show?

According to Paxxa\Troi, the Paxxans couldn't stun Data because he represented a technology with which they were unfamiliar. Strange that a race of xenophobes should cheerily accept a vow of silence on the subject of their existence from an android representing the fruits of a technology that was to them unknown.

We see a lot of arms hanging out of sleeves as their owners lie stunned in various postures. Look carefully, none of them are wearing watches. I wonder why not?

Dixon Hill's secretary Madelaine is a stoic one. Machine-gun fire smashes the office window, and she doesn't even look in to see if Dix is OK. She could have a good career as one of those members of the crew who stand at the back of the Bridge and never react to anything.
