Q; Why did the first worm, being a Starfleet member and therefore presumably of good character, bite Barclay?
A; I think we may safely assume that it/he wanted to get Barclay's attention. What else was he going to do, write him a letter?
Why does Troi talk to Barclay about having all sorts of treatment for his phobia about the transporters? If she gave him beta-blockers, he should be able to transport without any anxiety. Oh yes, and maybe play the fiddle in front of thousands too.
Data says that the sensors can't penetrate the plasma field and that the tractor beam can't either. So how can they tell that the other transporters are even working, let alone properly?
In Ten-Forward Barclay is handed his drink by the barman, a chap we've never seen before (or I haven't anyway) and the chap says "There you go, Lieutenant". How come this total stranger to the series gets to have a speaking part when the Unnamed Black Chick never gets to speak despite being a regular?
Why does Barclay have a container of liquid in Engineering, which he leaves on a control surface? I thought drinks weren't allowed in there.
When in his bedroom area, Reg climbs into bed, pulls up the sheets and asks the computer to play some soothing music. As the music begins, the lights dim. Why? He never asked them to.
O'Brien tells Barclay that while he is suspended in the beam as they're trying to rid his body of the microbes it is important not to move around too much. Oho! If I were to say to you, who is the one guy in the whole of Starfleet who knows most about the transporters, you wouldn't tell me it was Mr Mot the barber, would you? Nope, I think you'd probably say without hesitation, "O'Brien, M." so it looks as though my theory about movement in the beam being perfectly possible is at least feasible.
