[edit] Trivia

• Throughout the episode, Crusher is adamant about how out of control this terrible, virulent plague has gotten. Millions of cases are reported, etc., etc. When they have the cure, Riker orders that they proceed to deliver it to the afflicted colony at "warp three." Isn't that callous?
• When Dr. Crusher examines Yareena after she is "killed," a watch can be seen on Crusher's left wrist. Humans, especially Starfleet officers, don't wear watches, as they can usually just ask the computer for the time. Certainly we never see other Starfleet officers wear wrist watches, and Crusher never wears one again.
• While on the planet, watch Troi's arms. In the group shots, Troi's arms are at her sides, while in the close-ups, her arms are behind her back.
• During her fight with Yareena, Yar's weapon is on her left hand. However, when Yar beams up with Yareena, the weapon moves to her right hand.
• When the battle to the death begins, Lutan states it is not to be interrupted. But when Yareena loses her weapon, he stops the fight for her to retrieve it; not to mention helping the one he wants to lose.
• Why do they beam a ranking Ligonian and his diplomatic party into a cargo bay?
• Near the end of the episode Picard directs Lutan and Hagon into the observation lounge - when they leave the bridge the two of them go first, but a split second later when they cut to a shot of the lounge, Picard arrives first and they come in after him - how'd Picard get in front of them?
• During the discussion about Picard beaming down to the planet, Riker calls the lesser-ranked Data "Sir."--Reginald Barclay 10:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] horse statue

I removed the following:

• While Picard speaks to Lutan about the similarities between their cultures, he offers him a gift. Despite the fact that he says it is of Chinese origin, it bears a striking resemblance to the Trojan Horse, the mythological "gift" left in front of the gates of Troy by the Greeks. This was a large, hollow wooden horse filled with Greek soldiers. The Trojans opened their gates and brought in the horse. At night, the Greek soldiers crept out of the horse and took Troy. The term "Trojan Horse" has come to mean a sneak attack, which is meaningful in this episode considering that more than one such event take place in this episode.

The statue bears no resemblance to the Trojan horse, it's just a horse statue and is identified as being of Chinese origin (Sung dynasty) in the episode. This is pure speculation that doesn't belong in the article. --Jörg 10:48, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hardly.--Reginald Barclay 10:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Jorg, it is speculation and merely a personal observation. Since this is an encyclopedia, such things do not belong. --From Andoria with Love 19:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thoughts about lighting in this episode

I'm not sure if it is just me, but I noticed that during the red alert when they first find out that Yar was taken, the red alert lights were MUCH brighter than usual, even casting red light on the actor's faces. Is this the only episode where it is like this? --Talon Lardner 05:24, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

That was fairly common in early TNG, as can be seen here. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 05:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
