[edit] Telepathy?

"Despite his species having been indicated in TNG as resistant to telepathy, Quark, a Ferengi, quite easily allows himself to take part in a telepathy based ceremony."

Is this a valid point? The telepathy referred to here is Betazoid 'mind reading', but does that cover what happens in this episode? – Bertaut 02:08, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I say remove it. In TNG, Ferengi are said to be resistant to Betazoid telepathy, not telepathy in general.– Cleanse 05:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PADD

"When O'Brien briefs Nog in the Holosuite about Starfleet Academy entrance exams, he holds the same prop pad that Bashir handed to Dax in "Explorers" with the message "GO AWAY"."

I think this needs to be rephrased. How do we know it's the exact same PADD. Is it not possible that there is more than one PADD in existence? – Bertaut 15:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

The only possibility I can think of is that you could read the "GO AWAY" in both instances. If not, then the note needs to be removed. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 18:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll remove it shortly if no one objects. Tell me though, how do you go about getting that little talk link beside your user name? Very handy that – Bertaut 22:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Right, I've removed it. If anyone can find reason for it to be put back though, by all means do so, but it needs clarifying. – Bertaut ^talk 01:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

It is the same PADD as the one used in "Explorers" as you can still read "Go Away" when O'Brien holds it on the holosuite. The prop department simply took that PADD from "Explorers" and gave it to O'Brien to hold in his hands during that scene. As "Go away" is likely not a message that would be part of Nog's pre-Starfleet Academy tests, this should be included in the background of the article. --Jörg 06:49, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
