Q; What's missing from Star Trek?
A; Christmas. Discuss.
Q; Why would Picard wear a sling when, in all probability, after Beverly's administrations he is perfectly all right?
A; We might assume that it was window dressing purely for the sake of impressing the natives with his vulnerability.
Curious, perhaps, that considering all the importance young Oji attached to her record keeping, it apparently went out of the window when she saw Riker legging it with Palmer over his shoulder.
Curious, perhaps, that Picard should suggest that the Mintakans had abandoned superstition millennia ago. They don't appear to have advanced too much during those millennia, do they, still living in huts as they are?
Curious, is it not, that young Oji, in the early part of the episode just after her father has been beamed up to the Enterprise with Beverly, climbs up to the rock facade projected by what Geordi describes as a hologram projector, and touches it? Since when can you touch a hologram? And don't start on about the Holodeck, I don't know what goes on the deck any more than you do (well, I think I do, actually), but, by today's definition, neither involve holograms. Still, language evolves . . .
Liko comes over as one hell of a hyper-active character here. Some might think this is because he still feels guilty about killing Laura Palmer. . .
