The Next Generation (Season 4 - 6)
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS part 2
Guinan speaks to Riker as if Picard is gone, dead,
forever lost; and for Riker to give him up and let him go. In a sense Guinan would know
inside that Picard wasn’t gone forever, and that he wouldn’t die in this Borg
incident, because Picard has yet to reach the point where he is to travel 500 years back
in time to meet Guinan in 19th century San Francisco (‘TIME’S ARROW’), so
she knows that no matter what, Picard must somehow live through this experience. But
obviously, she’d have to keep Picard’s future time jaunt secret so as not to
screw up the time-line etc etc. (Yes, I know this is just a show, and that the writers
hadn’t even thought of ‘TIME’S ARROW’ yet!)
When Data inputs the ‘sleep’ command into
the collective, the Borg ship abruptly ceases fire. Riker and the Bridge crew look puzzled
as to what had happened. Riker then slowly turns around 180 degrees looking bewildered. As
he does, you can clearly see his eyes looking at the floor in an ‘unnatural’
fashion. This though is probably because he’s keeping tabs on his floor mark so as
not to compromise his position in relation to the camera. (Picard also does this as a
wormhole alien (or prophet) in one of Sisko’s orb induced dream-like sequences, in
‘EMISSARY’.
LEGACY
Throughout the series, and since the times of
classic Trek (and especially in the company of Q) it is emphasised, or at least firmly
alluded to that Humanity has outgrown the violence and negativity that has plagued it for
centuries; that it is no longer savage, and has become an evolved being, petty conflicts,
prejudices left long behind. But this episode suggests that Turkana IV is an exception.
The anarchic state of this Human colony is an indication that our race can still be
socially chaotic and pretty brutal in the face of adversity and is still collectively to
resolve many issues. Tasha Yar grew up here, and spent most of her youth dodging
‘rape gangs’ for God’s sake! It’s surprising that the Federation
don’t ‘get in there’ and sort the mess out. Perhaps what Picard and co
should say, is that life on Earth is now idyllic and evolved, though in the rest of
the galaxy humanity still lives in chaotic, thug-like anarchy.
DATA’S DAY
This ‘Nitpick’ is quite funny actually.
During a conference in the Observation Lounge, Data explains the reasons behind the dark
matter anomalies. Everyone seems to be concentrating on what Data is saying, but while he
talks away, Worf seems to be completely uninterested and spends the majority of the time
gazing into space and looking at the wall. Perhaps this is intended though, such
scientific and dry briefings would be a waste of time to a fearsome warrior.
CLUES
Picard and Beverley have known each other for many
years, so it’s strange that he didn’t know her ‘hobby’ of exobotany?
The scarlet moss in Beverley’s experiment,
Picard says, is ‘Diamedion’. Later in the same scene, Beverley refers to it as
‘Diamidion’, with an ‘i’ replacing the ‘e’.
When the Paxan/Troi goes to see Data, ‘it’
just waltzes into Data’s quarters without ‘ringing the bell’. Geordi does
exactly the same thing moments later. Data has established rights, this is his
personal abode, one shouldn’t be able to just charge in unannounced! Furthermore,
Data is confined to his quarters by order of Picard, so shouldn’t there be a guard at
the door, and shouldn’t that guard have to clear anyone wishing entry first? Also,
wouldn’t Data have to have his door locked, seeing as he’s confined?
FIRST CONTACT
Why was the Enterprise so inept at scanning
the surface for Human lifesigns? Riker should have been retrieved quite easily and this
was never adequately explained. And if they couldn’t find Riker (which I suppose they
couldn’t do otherwise it would’ve been one of those oft mentioned ‘short
shows’) why couldn’t they have scanned for his phaser, which surely contains
elements and technologies not Malcorian by nature? The Enterprise would’ve
made every attempt to locate Riker and beam him up, so one would expect that they
would’ve only beamed up him Communicator, since he had lost it. If they didn’t,
it would be a blatant violation of the Prime Directive –to have left Federation
technology in the hands of a less advanced species. On top of that, the Enterprise
scanners should in all honesty make short work of locating him by simply scanning for Human
lifesigns, which it can, and has done many times before.
One would expect Picard to use some kind of shield
around the Enterprise to prevent the Malcorians from detecting such a massive, and
obviously alien spacecraft in orbit. If these people can develop a warp engine,
they’d certainly have something tantamount to radar capability.
One of Picard’s persuasive assertions to
Mirasta Yale that he's indeed from another world, is that he is "physically quite
different from Malcorians." Oh really? I don’t think so at all! The fact
that he has digits on his hands, and a smooth, rather than crinkled forehead doesn’t
really constitute much of a physical contrast in my book. Perhaps if he was
green, had a second head,
or extra arms, then that line would be okay.
Yale then agrees to allow Picard to prove it to her
(that he and Troi are aliens), so Picard gives the order for three to be beamed up. As
they do, you can, for a fleeting moment, see Yale starting to disappear (or turn
translucent) before the transporter beam rains down. I hadn’t noticed this
happening at any other time in the series.
Seeing as Riker lost his Communicator, and hence his
Universal Translator, wouldn’t he be unable to understand the alien language, and
they his?
One of the Malcorian Doctors refused to administer
drugs on Riker due to his extremely frail condition, stating that such drugs could impair
cardio function. He said that he’d sworn "to do no harm." Strange,
that sounds very much like Earth’s Hippocratic Oath for our physicians.
What a coincidence!
Picard told the Chancellor that the phaser was a
‘defensive weapon’. A little white lie there by Picard, for it can potentially
be lethal. (The fact that he used the word ‘weapon’ indicates that it is meant
to cause harm, and that it is the user, whether defensive or offensive that determines the
application of the weapon).
I am a bit confused. Barclay seemed to be able to
connect himself directly into the computer core. How did he achieve this? For he was able
to initiate an interface into the Enterprise’s systems whilst on the holodeck
–after creating the required gadgetry with machinery that was holographic.
Surely this isn’t possible. The consoles, conduits and devices he programmed the
computer to project weren’t actually real, they were only holographic facsimiles;
projected matter, they had no substance and wouldn’t actually work. In ‘SHIP IN
A BOTTLE’, whilst Picard, Data and Barclay are trapped in the holodeck (without their
knowledge at this point), they attempt to beam a chair off the holodeck within the
holodeck. Subsequently, the transport logs displayed no data, because that transporter
wasn’t real, it was only a hologram. So from this we know that holographic matter
cannot operate in the technological sense. In ‘A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE’, one
part of the facsimile of the Lambda field generator was just a ‘complex set of
mirrors and reflectors’, which would in all probability work, so that
doesn’t really count in this analysis. The techno-paraphernalia programmed to appear
by Barclay was nothing more than moulded photonic energy/matter, and has no use other than
a representation or dummy. Also, in ‘THE BOOBY TRAP’ Geordi somehow uses actual
working holographic technology with Leah Brahms in the holodeck to solve the crisis.
It is beside the point as to how smart
Barclay was in this episode, there can be no way he could ‘instantly’
manufacture complex material machinery out of holograms.
When Worf and a small compliment of security guards
go down to the holodeck to ‘disconnect’ Barclay from the computer they are
naturally defeated by protective forcefields. Before they can do anything else, the Enterprise
is drawn into the sub-space distortion, affecting all onboard. Worf and the other security
guys are literally knocked off their feet at the impact, and they go down pretty hard.
Then the scene cuts back to the Bridge and Commander Riker. And then Worf tumbles out of
the turbolift, approximately 10 seconds after he fell to the ground in the holodeck. How
the hell did he manage to get to the Bridge so quick!? To my knowledge the holodecks are
on deck 11. So Worf would have to pick himself up, leave the holodeck, make his way down
the necessary corridors to find a turbolift (amongst the quaking commotion and confusion
caused by the distortion effect), board the turbolift (if one was available), select
‘Bridge’, and then ride the lift to its destination –all inside 10 seconds!
NO. I don’t think so.
I was a bit disappointed to see the crew reacting so
adversely to Barclay’s transformation. He was being persecuted (early on) for being
clever! Riker even suggested he be confined to quarters! He’s a Starfleet officer,
not some obscure alien invader... Granted, he’d been affected by an alien probe, but
tests revealed no sinister influence had been asserted, all that had happened is that
he’d acquired a high IQ. I would like to have seen a little more interest and
application of his abilities by the crew. After all, Barclay saved all their asses by
coming up with the solution that saved the ship from destruction when safely eliminating
the alien probe, to which Geordi’s reaction was a disgruntled one, sulking because he
didn’t get the glory and credit.
I personally would have expected the crew to have Barclay sit down (before he attached himself to the holodeck), and set him to work on scientific theory and concepts. If his abilities were so far beyond that of a typical human being, even Data, who knows what marvels he could have come up with. Terrific innovations and breakthroughs could have emerged. At one point there was an opportunity to greatly improve medical sensors, only for Barclay to receive a disdaining rebuff from Dr Crusher, without even looking into his idea –what arrogant ignorance! And what of Barclay’s ingenious solution to increase shield efficiency by 300%? Do we see this technique being used again whenever the Enterprise comes under serious threat? No. It wasn’t as if Barclay invented an ingenious and powerful new shield generator that only he knew how to operate –he tapped a few buttons in Engineering, so it was simply a matter of a few re-routes and well placed commands, so surely the computer could have ‘saved’ Barclay’s method for future application. But seeing as Geordi is Chief Engineer, he’s probably too egotistical and proud to use someone else’s idea!
HALF A LIFE
When Timicin first beamed on to the Enterprise,
no communication for the impending transport was given. He must have remained standing on
the pad in one rigid position waiting to beam over, only to finally get it done without
any warning. He could have been in the middle of a conversation or something.
Did Picard give any thought whatsoever to the star
system when testing the torpedoes? For he ended up destroying a star!! –and
therefore an entire star system. Can one think of a more severe crime? What of the life in
that system, and if it had none, what of the possibility of life being destined for it
some time in the future? One shouldn’t be able to have such free reign and stroll
along playing God, destroying stars like that.…….!
The star’s temperature rose an agreeable 150
million C in the core. If the percentage differential of the amount of gain is consistent
for the star’s level of heat and radiation emissions, how could Timicin’s planet
cope with such a dramatic climatic change? Such radical warming would surely destroy, or
least dramatically affect life -for the worst.
Lwaxanna was surprised by Timicin’s revelation
that he was about die, via ritual suicide. With such a heavy weight on his mind, and her
being a telepath, surely she would’ve picked it up herself.
VIOLATIONS
Travelling as a family, there’s a good
probability that Jev’s mother was part of the Ullian group that visited the other
planets revealed in the computer search for coma anomalies, so shouldn’t she have
recalled (or at least heard about) the other unexplained comas, and bring it up? After
all, they’re memory experts, so you’d think she’d remember something
significant like that and make a connection to the events currently occurring on the Enterprise.
Jev isn’t much of a smart criminal. He framed
his father, putting himself in the clear, only to ‘rape’ Troi again at the end.
His father was telepathically ‘restricted’ and out of the picture, so with no
scapegoat, or alibi, how did he hope to get away with it?
THE MASTERPIECE SOCIETY
It was clearly evident from the screen shots that
the Enterprise cruised very close to the stellar core fragment. This fragment would
have a gargantuan mass (due to the immense pressure and density), yet the ship
seemed totally unaffected by the gravitational field which in all probably would be
staggeringly strong. In reality I would expect any vessel in proximity to be pulled apart.
CONUNDRUM
It might have been a good idea for the rather
innovative MacDuff to carry out an espionage mission, rather than one of sabotage.
Manipulating circumstances to his own ends as First Officer, and with all security
clearances that come with that rank, he could have downloaded a large amount of technical
and scientific data from the Enterprise computer. Perhaps he could have got hold of
some technical schematics of a photon torpedo, or any other of the myriad other advanced
technologies at his disposal?
ETHICS
Just as the surgery begins on Worf’s spine, we
see Picard and Riker sitting in the Ready Room. After a brief and trivial discussion, the
camera cuts to a close up of Picard making eye contact with Riker. But just before
Picard’s eyes look up his head is clearly bowed down reading a computer pad. But
immediately, it cuts to the close up, and his head is more or less facing straight
forward.
Only 27 stardate units lie between this episode and
the next, in which time Worf makes a remarkably good recovery after we were led to believe
it would take quite a long time.
CAUSE AND EFFECT
Data said that the Impact with the Bozeman
would occur in 36 seconds, it in fact reached the Enterprise in 22.
If the ‘time loop’ voices are recording
one point in time, is it likely that the whole crew of 1000 (as reported by Data to be on
the recording) would be talking all at the same time? And what of other ship noises,
doors, turbolifts, engines etc.?
There are many other more minor (and confusing, in
the ‘temporal’ sense) nitpicks that I can’t be bothered to get my mind
around them all and sort them out.
I, BORG
Data’s sensor reading indicated that the Borg
ship ‘heading this way’ had a mass of 2.5 million metric tons. He went on to say
that it was a "a scoutship similar to the one that crashed," (on the
planet). 2.5 million metric tons is a hell of a lot for a scoutship, in fact that's more
than half the tonnage of the Galaxy Class Enterprise!. Later we had a glimpse of
part of the scoutship that had crashed, and from the angle we had it didn't look much
bigger than a truck!
Aren’t the Federation slightly hypocritical?
The crew of the Enterprise tried their damnedest to assimilate the Borg!
–Hugh. First of all they disconnected it from the hive, its home, then they
gave it a human name, and finally forced the alien concept of individuality upon it.
Humanity may represent a way of life with
broader ethics etc, and Hugh may well have been human in the first place, but aren’t
they trying to assimilate it all the same?, and in an insidious fashion, worse perhaps
than when the Borg attempted to assimilate the Federation? The Federation think their way
of life is the right one –that alone justifies their action, but the Borg believe
that their way of life is the best also, so who’s right? I think every enemy,
adversary or opponent in history has believed that their cause was the righteous and
correct one.
It was bad enough with Dr Crusher’s over
sentimental posturing towards the Borg entity: a race who threaten not only her way of
life, but are hell-bent on destroying all of Humanity and aligned worlds. But then
(typically) Guinan ‘turned’. Her world was utterly laid waste by the
Borg; her people assimilated, with a few survivors scattered throughout the galaxy, and
she acted fittingly towards the Borg drone at the beginning of the show. A short while
later, her centuries old ideology is overcome with sudden, inexplicable sentiment; her
entire mindset turned on its head because she for some reason felt sorry for poor little
Hugh. I’m all for benevolence and compassion, but this made me gag!
THE INNER LIGHT
When Picard realises he’s in an alien
environment and may have been captured, he immediately goes to tap his Combadge. But he
obviously discovers that it isn’t there. Yet he for some reason still says "Picard
to Enterprise". That would be similar to me attempting to initiate a phone
conversation, knowing that I didn’t have a phone.
If the Administrator comes round to Ressik once a
month, it’s funny that Picard (or Kamin) hadn’t attended his arrival once in
those first 5 years.
Eline (Kamin’s wife) finally disclosed the
truth regarding Picard’s presence and purpose right at the end of his life time
there. She clearly stated that, "the rest of us have been gone a thousand
years." She is part of an interactive program written a millennium before, so how
did the programmers know that it would be exactly 1000 years before the probe would
encounter someone?
It really would have been prudent for Picard to
undertake some command refresher courses before going back on duty, and into the
Captain’s chair. After all, he’s been away for around 30-40 years, -something
that was mentioned in Phil Farrand's The Nitpickers Guide Volume II, it also stated that
judging by the stardates given of this and the next episode, only 5 days had passed. I
think Phil meant to say 41 days, I calculated the period to be worth 15 units, but
that's by the way, the fact is that Picard has taken the longest slice of Shore Leave on
record, and perhaps should have been put through the academy again.
I really loved this episode. And the idea
of the problems regarding the Kataanians’ technology being a mismatch in relation to
what the probe could achieved to be quite bothersome. I’ve taken the liberty of
trying to explain this away with my own (far out) theories.
1). Kataan and its people had overseers or
observers, similar to the Edo (‘JUSTICE’), or the Federation watchers (‘WHO
WATCHES THE WATCHERS), who were perhaps interested in an anthropological study of a
species trying to cope and tackle their imminent extinction. If what the Kataanians sent
up was really a fairly primitive capsule full of artefacts, writings, music etc, it would
in fact be similar to Earth’s Voyager probes. This was an attempt though to send into
the cosmos at least some record of the Kataan world; its people and culture. At some
point, the race of overseers saw fit to advance and embellish the probe somewhat, by
creating a fully adaptive and interactive program, far more advanced than what the
Kataanians would have been capable of. And when travellers or explorers discovered the
probe floating in space, it would connect to anyone compatible and pass on something
tangible of the Kataan world in a unique and personal way, hence preserving an impression
of those from a lost, forgotten world.
2). The Kataan probe was a primitive
computer program capable of interfacing with a humanoid brain. It may have simply been a
program designed to feed certain information, details and aspects into one’s brain,
which then allowed the subconscious mind of the subject to work around a pre-programmed
database, enhancing it with dream-like attributes and qualities, giving the illusion of
actual reality in a kind of virtual reality mainframe.
3). The probe encountered various races
over a period of one thousand years. Each time, a race would deliberately add some aspect
of what they had learned about Kataan into a more adaptive and advanced program.
Someone remarked in Volume II that perhaps the Kataan people were advanced in certain areas, such as ‘machine-to-mind interfaces’, though it was discounted on the grounds of why such technology had not impacted in other areas of society. I would just like to point out that our own government(s) have in their possession secret technology that remains classified, and well away from the public domain. This is not abnormal, the intelligence community probably utilise technological devices that are perhaps a decade ahead of what we have access to. For instance, the Stealth Bomber was not public knowledge until the Gulf War in 1991, though this hardware has been test flying since the late 1970’s.
MAN OF THE PEOPLE
Not a Nitpick as such, but an observation. It would
seem that in this episode the creators found a suitable name for the new Captain of the USS
Voyager. For in this show, Ensign Janeway makes an appearance, perhaps she’s a
relation of the stranded Captain.
RELICS
Data said that the Dyson Sphere is equal in size
(interior) to 200 million ‘Class M’ planets. But ‘Class M’ planets can
be any size; ‘Class M’ is a designation referring to Human compatibility and
surface conditions. It is nothing to do with size.
CHAIN OF COMMAND Part 1
When the team of Picard, Crusher and Worf happen
upon this supposed laboratory they find only a single glowing console in the centre of the
room –perhaps some kind of Theta band sensor shadow generator. But on observing this,
they for some reason state that there is no lab, and that the whole thing is an
elaborate trap. How, and why would they decide this so rashly? For all they knew that
could be the edge of this underground base, and there could be large complex of caverns
further on containing the necessary labs to sustain this operation that they sought to
destroy. After all, they don't know what's down there, for it was stated earlier in the
episode that Starfleet intelligence reports for the base were two years out of date.
SHIP IN A BOTTLE
When Moriarty, the Countess and Barclay are in the
sitting room at 221B Baker Street, where are Picard and Data? Data is supposedly in the
(holographic) transporter room, for he and Picard are (trapped) on the holodeck also, so,
due to the small size of the holodeck (refer to ‘ELEMENTARY DEAR DATA’) they
should be somewhere in the confines of that sitting room, unless they’re in a
different holodeck?
FACE OF THE ENEMY
Whilst aboard the Romulan Warbird, Troi/Rakal says
to Toreth that she’d been with the Tal Shiar for "several months."
Toreth is Romulan, is she not? Using the term ‘months’ (a human designation)
should instantly give away the fact that Rakal is not actually a Romulan. Unless of course
the ingenious universal translator came to her rescue by translating ‘several
months’ into the appropriate Romulan equivalent.
TAPESTRY
At one point, Picard’s uniform appears soaked
after having a drink thrown over him. Only a short while later at the Dom-Jot table, it
appears to be dry and unruffled.
Q said that changing the time-line would not cause
"galaxies to explode." Wasn’t that the theoretical premise put
forward by Doctor Emmett Brown in ‘Back To The Future part 2’ regarding the same
scenario of paradoxes and disruptions to a time-line?
Did anyone else see a distinctly close resemblance
of the Nausicaans and the alien out the ‘The Predator’ films? Even the deep
resounding laugh was similar.
In the scene where Q comes in to deliver flowers, he
says to Picard that "Mr. Zeller has decided not to take your advice…."
At least that’s what it sounded like, but the guy’s name is Zweller, with
a ‘W’, is it not? (According to the Encyclopedia).
Tobacco seems to be still going strong in the 24th
century, for the Bonestell facility on the station was full of smoke. One would suppose it
to be cigarette smoke.
Q, as we know does not need to eat. Yet in this show
he clearly takes a bite from what looks like celery. Or perhaps this ‘act’ is
some kind of Q-like gimmick or affectation.
If the time-line involved only Picard’s
interests, then one would suppose that the plot surrounding the conference with the
Lenarians to be still effective once he’d returned to normal at the end. Riker, Worf
etc. are all there around the bio-bed, and no hint is made regarding the assassination, if
not already caught, one would expect them to be hard at work to apprehend the assailant.
BIRTHRIGHT part 1
When Data hits the floor after the first plasma
shock, you can hear La Forge in the background say, "His synaptic energy is
dropping….," but Data isn’t ‘hooked’ up to any kind of
diagnostic or monitoring device, so how could Geordi know what was happening in
Data’s positronic brain by observation alone? Does his VISOR allow him to track
Data’s synaptic functions?
Geordi said that Data was out for 30 seconds, but
Data confirms he has a memory of images for that period of time, but the duration
of those images in fact went on for 50 seconds. Data later says he was inactive
(unconscious) for a total of 47 seconds, when it was about 55.
In Data’s final dream sequence on the
Bridge, he says to Soong, after he asks where they are, "we are on the deck
of the Enterprise." This remark doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I believe what
he meant to say was, "We are on the Bridge of the Enterprise."
STARSHIP MINE
The Baryon sweep wasn’t at all completed, and
it didn’t stay ‘on’ for very long, this was obviously due to the ensuing
sabotage situation. If the sweep is so necessary and important to ship functions, why
didn’t the Enterprise remain after the crisis had been averted to have the
procedure redone? For at the end of the episode when Picard’s saddle had been
located, the Enterprise simple flew off.
LESSONS
Not a Nitpick as such, but I personally thought that Daren (Wendy Hughes) was a dead-ringer for Gates McFadden, I even considered that the actress could have been Gates’ sister. In a way, it would have made sense to have her guest star as Crusher’s sister, perhaps involving some kind of vicious love triangle going on between them and Picard !
THE CHASE
The Enterprise appeared to cover the
destinations of this chase in just a few days. But these so called destinations were
scattered all over the quadrant. Such lengthy journeys should have taken months, if not
years.
The female alien in the projected image at the end
just assumed that she’d be talking to all the correct group of different
beings that hailed from her race.
Instead of fighting over who was going to get the
lichen (which it seems isn’t indigenous to Earth), why didn’t someone just
simply beam the sample up?
TIMESCAPE
Why was the Runabout (particularly at the beginning)
going along at a steady sub-light speed? Any rendezvous with the Enterprise would
be achieved far quicker at warp, perhaps thousands of times quicker.
When Picard asks how long they’d been frozen in
time, Troi says "about four or five seconds." It was in fact eighteen
seconds.
There do
seem to be a number of discrepancies with this time anomaly. Data reported that it was
spherical in shape, and within the distortion time was moving at a rate 50 times normal.
So, when Troi first reported the anomaly and everyone remained frozen, it is safe to say
that she was inside the sphere moving 50 times the normal time rate, and everyone outside
appeared to her to be stationary. Okay. But when she freezes a little while later it would
appear by logic that everyone and everything is inside the sphere moving 50 times faster
whilst she remains in normal time, 50 times slower, appearing to them to be frozen in
time. But the anamaly must have some extremely specific geometric properties to contain
Picard, Data and La Forge and seemingly the rest of the ship, but not Troi.
After the disaster is averted, it is reported that
the Romulan Warbird disappeared, supposedly back to the alien’s time continuum. Later
though, Picard says that they safely evacuated the Romulan crew. From where? The Warbird
had disappeared before any evacuation could have taken place.
(Small Nitpick). Data stated that the pot had
repeatedly boiled after a period of 51.7 seconds. When we get to observe it boiling
ourselves, it takes 47 seconds (according to the counter on my VCR).
DESCENT part 1
When the science station screen displays a schematic
of the transwarp conduit, it indicates its destination to be the Delta Quadrant. Yet when
the Enterprise enters it, they only go as far as 65 light years. The Delta Quadrant
though is on the far side of the galaxy, some 70,000 light years away. If this moment in
the story isn’t an actual error, then they failed to indicate that one can exit the
conduit without going all the way through.
All Data had experienced in the crew’s eyes was
a random flash of emotion. They knew nothing of his betrayal or ‘emotional
defection’ at the detention cell. So when the shuttle escaped the Enterprise,
why did Picard even contemplate that Data may have gone willingly with the Borg prisoner?
