Q; What use is the soliton wave?
A; Loads. It could be used for transporting goods from A to B cheaply and efficiently providing there was line of sight between them. Where there is no line of site, then relay stations could be set up. That means you could transport equipment, perhaps to set up a colony, say, in unmanned craft, so you wouldn't have to pay the wages, taxes, insurance, etc. for those expensive folk normally referred to as the crew. Big business will love the soliton wave.
Q; How could the Enterprise have survived a photon torpedo blast from so close a distance?
A; Since it obviously did, we might assume that the soliton wave absorbed most of the energy.
I think I spotted a continuity error on this show. When young Alexander is poking at the netting of the rare creatures in the Biolab, the nearest creature bends down to look at his hand. The next shot shows the same scene but from further away, and the creature is upright again.
It occurs to me that Alexander's thieving and bullying come about as an attempt to generate some control over his own life. He has been buffeted from pillar to post, and seeks to reassert himself in this manner. Since he obviously enjoys himself on the Holodeck and is finding some success there, I recommend that he be allowed to play there as he wishes, under suitable supervision, of course. That will be fifty guineas. Thank you.
Riker says "Brace for impact" and then clings hopelessly to his chair. Is it really likely that there would be no means of strapping themselves in? Surely the special effects people could come up with some kind of stasis bubble effect?
Why does it have to be Riker and Worf who go to rescue Alexander? Don't they have fire crews? Sprinklers? Anything?
If young Alexander was lying under something that Worf could only just manage to lift, how could he get away with just a fractured tibia?
