Q; Why would La Forge complain that he is having trouble keeping his eyes open when, as any fule kno, he's blind and his visor pumps info. to his brain whether his eyes are open or shut?
A; Good question. The short answer might be that like anyone else Geordi needs to sleep, and can feel his eyelids drooping when he's tired just like the rest of us. I wonder, though, whether his visor knows he's asleep and continues to pump info. into his brain during these times. Usually he takes it off to sleep, and it usually conveniently falls off when he's knocked unconscious. I wonder what would happen if he were gassed, though, or put into stasis, say.
Q; Why do trips via turbolift from one point to another sometimes take different lengths of time to complete the same journey?
A; We might assume that the same journey, from A to B, might vary in length as one does not actually travel in a direct line from A to B, instead the computer calculates the quickest path bearing in mind all the other traffic in the system. One day I simply must read the Technical Manual.
Hooray! the black chick is back at Helm, but for one scene only.
If the fragment has the mass that Data says that it does, how can the Enterprise survive so close to it? Wouldn't something of such mass pull everything out of sync at the very least?
Why on earth wasn't Data on the Away Team? When it comes to problem solving, he's been invaluable in the past, so why not use him now?
Isn't it strange how on the colony there is always birdsong, but did you actually see any birds?
When Conor starts singing "Humpty Dumpty" Troi smiles warmly and sings along with him. How does Troi know Humpty Dumpty? Don't they have their own nursery rhymes on Betazed?
When the Enterprise reduces life support to an absolute minimum, we see several shots of the exterior of the ship. Why are all the lights still on?
I see that zips are still de rigueur on the colony, as Aaron sports an obvious one on his cardie. I was under the impression that zips had been done away with several centuries ago, whereas the colony has only been around for a couple of hundred years. How is it that they have zips then?
