Star Trek The Next Generation Season Five

Q; Why does Picard tacitly allow Riker to prolong their stay on the Jnaii planet to get things sorted out with Soren when several episodes earlier he went absolutely apeshit with Worf for killing Duras Senior?

A; Mes amis, Picard is French. Toujours l'amour, mais non? (Well, it's a theory!)

Hooray! The Unnamed Black Chick is back at Helm for the early shots! I do like a show which works its regulars.

Can you honestly imagine Riker being sexually attracted to Soren? Well, yes actually, but not falling in love.

Worf, whom we saw to be crippled in the last show and having to relearn walking etc., seems to have made a remarkable recovery by the time of this show.

When Riker and Soren plus the two wounded Jnaii are about to be beamed from the stricken shuttlecraft, Riker says to Soren "See you in a minute". This to me implies that they can't see each other in the transporter beam, so how come Barclay can see things that turn out to be missing crew-members in a later episode? I know, local conditions. Perhaps it was because they were beaming out from inside null space. Remember, this is the first and only time we've encountered null space.

I wonder, would Riker have made any effort to rescue Soren if her proclivities had been male rather than female?
