Q; Why would Picard complain that Graves' work was lost when he must have kept notes?
A; I think the point made here is that Graves was a one-off, unique, so far out in his field that records of his work would be indecipherable to run-of-the-mill scientists.
Q; Why does Brianon react so passively when Data/Graves crushes her hands?
A; You have to bear in mind that she'd only just found out that Data was Graves. I'd say she was in a form of shock.
Q; Why was Data found lying on the floor after Graves had left his body?
A; We don't know, do we? One could surmise all sorts of things, some sort of feedback from the transference threw him across the room, maybe.
Q; When Data/Graves lands his haymaker on Picard, how come Picard spins in the opposite direction from how you'd expect him to?
A; My opinion is that Data/Graves never lands a proper haymaker. He only strikes a glancing blow, the force of which spun Jean-Luc around and rendered him unconscious. Let's face it, if someone with Data's strength had landed a true blow, he'd have taken Picard's head off. I mean this last quite literally.
For me there were other puzzles about this show. Why did Kate Pulaski play so little part, and why didn't Troi, who is after all an empath, sense that Data was Graves straight away?
Why does the girly who played the Vulcan doctor look so familiar? Possibly because she later returns to the show after having her ears topped and wearing a crab on her head; yes, she's going to be Worf's girlfriend!
How come no-one laughed at Riker's beard?
I noticed that when Geordi and Picard were having a little chat in Picard's Ready Room Troi barged straight in without the usual "Come" from Picard. Why?
