Interesting nod towards Star Wars in the opening scenes. One thing, though. Why would an alien find Troi so attractive? I'm aware that there is a school of thought which suggests you'd have to be pretty damned alien not to find her attractive, but I don't see how someone whose face is composed along lines so different from our own (i.e., human) should be moved by Troi's beauty. How would he know she had any?
What is Beverly doing on an Away Team of this nature? I mean, gedoudda here with this . . . Data could have done everything she did and been a lot more useful if things got rough. Dearie, dearie me; the lengths the writers will go to to shoehorn their main characters in.
I'm glad to see that everyone seems to be taking Picard's death so well. I wonder who broke the sad news to his fish?
Once again we see the wisdom of the old adage "Never beam down to a planet's surface unless you're a principal member of the cast" that those of us who were around for the Original Series learnt at our mother's knee. Still holds as true as ever. Bye-bye Ensign, whoever you were. . .
After Data queries the wisdom of Riker, as Commander, leading an Away Team, when Riker gets kidnapped it's Commander Data who leads the next one. Bizarre, non?
Anyone notice that Picard called his character by the name of Galen? Ring any bells?
