Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn one scene, Data tries lean on the non-existent furniture after his conversation with Captain Picard about being fully functional and ends up falling on the floor. This was not in the script but was added by Brent Spiner on the set. The director Paul Lynch was pleased at Brent's idea and left it in the final cut.
- GoofsThe opening captain's log states they're "running at warp seven" yet the exterior establishing shot shows no stars moving by the Enterprise indicating they're traveling at sub-light velocity.
- Quotes
Lt. Tasha Yar: What I want now is gentleness. And joy... and love. From you, Data; you are fully functional, aren't you?
Lt. Cmdr. Data: Of course, but...
Lt. Tasha Yar: How fully?
Lt. Cmdr. Data: In every way, of course. I am programed in multiple techniques. A broad variety of pleasuring.
Lt. Tasha Yar: Oh! You jewel, that's exactly what I hoped!

Silly and Heavy Handed
My heart sank a bit when I saw this recently. It was only the second offering and I would imagine those who thought that the pilot was setting up an intellectual kind of science fiction was suddenly thrust into a kind of 1950's space commando movie. Wesley Crusher is a loose cannon whose character should have been eased into the series a little at a time. Let him earn his stripes. When one considers the expense and seriousness of these missions, for him to be playing around with such dangerous stuff seems awfully careless. He becomes a cause of trouble and then goes into the solution mode. The Enterprise is affected by a viral condition that causes irrational behavior. One would think that there would be some sort of fail-safe in operation. The fact that the crew is still around for the third episode is a credit to incredible chance and luck. I believe that the series is only strong when the interplanetary forces are at odds and invention is at the fore, coming from those carefully trained in their duties and experiences.
