Q; How come the food dispenser is unfamiliar with Romulan measurements, instead requesting that demands are made of it using the Celsius scale?
A; I would think it's because, once any reasonably intelligent group of aliens have had the Celsius scale explained to them (zero is freezing, one hundred is boiling point), they can figure out how hot or cold in Celsius terms they want their goodies to be. Mind you, we're talking about the boiling point of water, and not every planet will have that (although they all seem to, don't they?) and the temperatures at which water freezes and boils is dependant upon certain conditions being extant, which they won't always be. Still, what the hey . . .
Interesting to see Stewart and Frakes getting to play a little Shakespeare in this show. I thought Jonathan's English accent was better than Patrick's.
I further thought I detected one or two anomalies in this show. How did Admiral Jarok manage to blow up his ship with the autodestruct when the reason that he was beamed over to the Enterprise was because all power, even life support, was failing on it? How did Data know how to program the Holodeck, not only with an accurate representation of Romulus, but even with somewhere that Jarok recognised? How did Jarok know about the existence of Data? We only met these guys (this time around, anyway) a few shows ago, and I don't think that Data was around in the times of the troubles with the Romulans.
