Plague is usually some kind of virus, I understand. The transporters on the Enterprise automatically screen out viruses. Beam the Tarellians aboard and hey presto! They'll all be cured. What do the writers take us for, I wonder?
Riker's quarters are considerably bigger in this show than they will prove to be in subsequent episodes. At least, I assume that they're his quarters. And why doesn't he respond when Tasha hails him?
If Riker and Troi were so close in the past, why doesn't he know about the bonding process?
Haven itself, or what little we see of it, resembles nothing so much as a Roger Dean cover. Think of all those "Yes" albums. Here we seem to have a planet-load of them.
When Wyatt takes his leave he says farewell to his parents in front of Troi and to Troi herself. How is it that she doesn't sense his intentions?
Beverly says that the Tarellians developed the virus when their technology was at the equivalent of late twentieth century Earth. So how come they have interstellar travel, warp drive, and the girly on Haven seems to think that they have transporter technology too? What gives here? Did they develop these technologies while all the while fighting off the effects of the plague? Wouldn't they have been more likely to expend all their energies in combating the plague?
Is it just me, or does the talking box strongly resemble Charles Grodin? It must just be me, actually, as according to the Omnipedia it was Armin Shimerman who supplied those cheery features.
Troi calls Riker Bill again, not once but twice!
And what do we have here but Return of The Maj! Good as the First Officer, great as Nurse Chapel, from here on in La Barrett will stomp all over every show she appears in as Lwaxana Troi.
Data's briefing is a bit of a farce as everyone present seems to know perfectly well everything there is to know on the subject of the Tarellians (except, of course, me and thee dear reader).
So, Mr Homn can't talk, eh? Well, in the words of a Mr Cat, T., another individual commonly held never to have spoken, "Don't you believe it!".
