[edit] Nitpicks

[edit] Boom Mike

This really seems like a waste of time/space creating a talk page to note this removal. Nevertheless I removed the following nitpick:

• As the Enterprise approaches Lysian space, a boom mic is visible as the camera moves in towards Picard and MacDuff.

...as it really does not pertain to the "background information" of this episode. --Alan del Beccio 01:29, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Data's Memory

(In phony British accent) The following paragraph has been charged with nitpickery! I place it here for further discussion! Have at it! --From Andoria with Love 15:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

• There is no mention of how Data's memory is restored, though we can assume that Geordi La Forge or some other engineer worked on him after their own memories returned. However, this doesn't explain why they didn't attempt to do so before things went back to normal, as they all retained the necessary skills to do so and Data's positronic brain would have been an invaluable source of information for the whole crew.

Hmmm, I can see how it would be interesting, but as you all know I have been removing nitpicks left and right myself, so I support removing this one. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 23:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More

• Troi's file lists her father as "Alex Troi," though "The Child" had given his name as Ian Andrew Troi. A possible explaination for this error is that it is a result of MacDuff accidentally corrupting the databanks when inserting himself. Ben Finney did a similar thing in TOS: "Court Martial".
• Dr. Crusher says that her scans indicate that the Lysian weapon doesn't damage the hippocampus, which suggests that the crew's long term memory should be intact. However, in modern medical understanding, the hippocampus is responsible for the formation of new memories and is not responsible for long-term memory storage.

[edit] Lysian Central Command

Should mention be made that the Lysian Central Command is a reusage of the Edo God from the first season episode "Justice"? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Drego5 (talk • contribs) .

See Lysian Central Command. It's mentioned there, when it belongs. -- Sulfur 19:11, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but it's also mentioned in the Background for the episode. (PS: I was about to revise and sign before, but you beat me to it.) Drego5 19:24, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Err... it's not in the background for the episode, and nor should it be I think. That's been our practice elsewhere. Where there is background for an "item", that background goes with said "item" rather than in the episode article. -- Sulfur 19:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Removed mention of it in the article since noone objected to it. – Saphsaph 01:42, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Error

Hmmm..... during a chase scene on the Enterprise, did anyone notice a man in tan pants, a red shirt, and a belt walking on the ship (sort of 90's clothes)? Isn't that odd?

Unless it's a civilian, a stage hand may have accidentally walked into the scene or been in the wrong place. This has occurred, to my memory, once before as well. - Adm. Enzo Aquarius...I'm listening 15:26, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

It's a civilian in 24th civilian clothing. --Jörg 15:41, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm..... sorry guys, wrong episode. This happened on the Power Play episode during a chase scene on the Enterprise. A man in very 90's ish clothes was clearly on the set (about 18 minutes into the episode).

It's a civilian in 24th civilian clothing, no mistake. He is in plain view in the scene. --Jörg 15:41, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Resemblance

• The Teaser starts with a game of three-dimensional chess by Counselor Troi and Data. This is reminiscent of the game Spock and Kirk were playing during the teaser of TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Troi surprises Data with an unexpected intuitional move as Kirk surprised Spock.

Moving the countless "This resembles..." to discussion – Saphsaph 01:42, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
