The Nth Degree.

Star Trek The Next Generation Season Four

Why, I wonder, does Data display distaste at Barclay's acting ability? He is a machine, remember (yawn)?

Of all the people on board from whom they could have chosen to pick to be the one keen on acting, the writers have chosen Gates McFadden. Some might see some irony there!

I wonder where Beverly gets her sets from? They must be built from something, so I suppose that they feed details of what's wanted in and then have them replicated. There are, though, so far as I am aware, no large replicators anywhere on the ship. The only ones that I know of are the food replicators, so unless they replicate the sets in small chunks and then fix them together then they can't be replicating them. In any case, wouldn't it simply make more sense to use the Holodecks?

Barclay pompously informs that he can knock up a program to bring all the reactors on-line together as opposed to separately in just a couple of days. We next see him rehearsing Beverly's new play. Shouldn't he be busy writing his program?

If the Holodeck can duplicate the thinking of Einstein in its Einstein program, then surely the ship's computer must be as clever as Einstein? If you have an entity on board that is as clever as Einstein, how come no-one ever turns to it to help them solve their legion of problems? Picard is always inviting suggestions to be put forward by his Bridge staff, so why not ask Einstein?
