I think its just meant to be an absurd moment. Think of it from her pov - i dont know who I am or who anyone else is, and besides that im wearing a bathing suit even though im not near any water. A weird cherry on top of a weird sundae.

2022-04-08 14:49:06 +0000 UTCI love your reactions so much. Definitely one of the highlights of my week. After you eventually finish TNG, would love to see you react to DS9. Would also love to see you react to Babylon 5.

2022-04-08 14:42:47 +0000 UTCWhat is the point of that crewman in the bathing suit that's getting her shoulder looked at by Dr Crusher? She has one scene where she's introduced, another scene where she asks Crusher for a change of clothes, and then I don't think we see her again for the rest of the episode. Did I miss something?

2022-04-07 21:51:11 +0000 UTCPicard is a lot more well-adjusted than I would have been if I just realized someone tricked me into killing 53 innocent people. They just kind of gloss over it at the end, where Picard said he extended his condolences to the Lysians. I know he might just be putting on a brave face as captain, and for all we know he feels deep guilt and regret, but I couldn’t be that casual or calm about it.

2022-04-07 04:50:56 +0000 UTCThe dynamic of the cast being in different roles is fun and loved Katrina's reaction to the Riker scenes, definitely best part of the episode. It's also interesting to me to see them encounter an alien that's so far behind technologically as that usually doesn't happen, but it's used to good effect here

Henchman Twenty1
2022-04-07 01:25:21 +0000 UTCMaybe it just got bored being the Edo God and rented itself out as the Lysians' command base? ☺

2022-04-07 01:24:28 +0000 UTCAgreed. I should have said they could have made some slight alterations so it didn't look exactly the same.

2022-04-07 00:11:43 +0000 UTCHmmm. Hadnt thought about that. Need to go back and relook
Mark Ten
2022-04-06 23:55:50 +0000 UTCNot if we count Pulaski and Guinan.
Nolan
2022-04-06 19:35:27 +0000 UTCDon't forget that season two ended with a clip show. Or maybe we should forget it. Anyway, by season 5 they had a bigger budget so they were just being cheap.
Henchman Twenty1
2022-04-06 16:40:25 +0000 UTCBeneath their standards? Hardly. Trek has re-used props countless times since its beginnings. They even re-use actors for different roles.
Raja
2022-04-06 16:39:29 +0000 UTCSo, Riker has now slept with all the female regulars?
Mark Chrisco
2022-04-06 15:56:42 +0000 UTCThat bothered me. It was beneath their standards to so blatantly reuse a prop.

2022-04-06 15:16:23 +0000 UTCThe space station was a re-use of the model of the Edo's "God" from the first season episode "Justice" where they were going to execute Wesley, but for some reason Picard prevented it.

2022-04-06 15:05:26 +0000 UTCGot to admit, thats a pretty good weapon. Not sure why the saboteur didnt just make himself Captain or an Admiral, but forgetting the cheesy fake mission, just get that weapon and use it on the Romulans or Borg next time.

2022-04-06 05:43:39 +0000 UTCLooking back, I like how the camera folk were hinting that MacDuff wasn't on the bridge until after the flash, you rewatch it and we don't get a full view but we see where he should be and he's not there. They also keep showing him from one side in that first scene so we see his commander pips. I will say, there's a series I like called Dark Matter that has the same basic premise, the crew of a spaceship wake up with no memory of where they are or where they're going, and having to decide if they're going to follow the path set out for them or try to change and become better people.

JXTN
2022-04-06 01:08:31 +0000 UTCI think her original concern was that he was being set-up to die horribly for drama.
JXTN
2022-04-06 01:06:51 +0000 UTCPaula didn't mention it, but my recollection is that the actor who played McDuff was one of the finalists to play Riker before Jonathan Frakes was cast.
Raja
2022-04-05 22:54:26 +0000 UTCThough the Satarrans and Lysians were centuries behind the Federation in terms of weapons technology, they could've been ahead in terms of their ability to erase memories and computer records. Maybe the Lysians already had effective countermeasures against it.
Raja
2022-04-05 22:51:57 +0000 UTCLove Katrina's reactions to every dang reveal this episode. 🤣🤣🤣

2022-04-05 22:32:46 +0000 UTCIt's not uncommon in science fiction to suggest psychological vs physical are two different paths technological advancement could follow— I don't know if the writers had something like that in mind, if so it could justify what's otherwise a plot hole, that McDuff's people were so far advanced in mental weapons while (along with the Lysians) lagging so far behind the Federation in "conventional" weapons. (Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series had that element, with the First Foundation advancing in physical technology and the Second Foundation advancing in psychological techniques.) I've wondered when watching this episode if there were just a few deleted lines of dialogue in the final briefing scene to the effect that the Satarans and the Lysians, after years of a wartime arms race, both had developed both mental weapons and mental defenses, leading McDuff to his plan to find another civilization helpless against weapons the Lysians could easily block, while possessing weapons they couldn't.

2022-04-05 22:10:11 +0000 UTCGaslighting: The Episode. I've always liked this one as an "average" episode. Amnesia plots can be really good for allowing writers to explore the more repressed aspects of characters, once their pasts have been stripped away. Of course here it resulted in awkward romance. I believe I've heard something about love and hate being very closely linked. I don't think there's anyone who, at the end of the day isn't a Troiker as far as shipping goes, but Roker was a fun diversion. And frankly, them both being understanding about the situation, but still making sure Riker felt like an ass is a pretty darn good way of handling that situation. Interestingly, Macduff's species returns in a non-canon novel where it's revealed that the strange undercoat underneath his skin is actually an infiltration suit. In the book they were using it to influence a struggling species into helping them. Actually from one of my favorite series of Trek novels I read as a teen.
Nolan
2022-04-05 20:19:46 +0000 UTCThis was a neat little "What If" sort of episode, but if I wanted to get nit-picky I'd ask this: If the aliens had that ability to effect a far more advanced ship and her crew why not just use their trick on their enemy? It not only somehow worked on every species on the ship, but also on Data and the ship's computer system, AND induced selective amnesia on all of them so they could still operate the ship. Sounds pretty sophisticated for a less advanced species that needed help to defeat their also less advanced foe. And where was Guinan, again? Would it have affected her? She's like Gandalf; absent when convenient to the plot.
Henchman Twenty1
2022-04-05 20:07:32 +0000 UTCI love how Katrina's first hint of suspicion that McDuff is a baddie was "Hey wait a minute! That extra has too many lines!!!" :D
Firefly24601
2022-04-05 19:57:00 +0000 UTCI know, or have all of the crew replaced entirely. But then there would be no episode.

2022-04-05 19:42:56 +0000 UTCThere's going to be so much to talk about for the rest of this season. Some all-time favorites coming up.
DC
2022-04-05 19:18:37 +0000 UTCThey weren't being creepy, just being themselves, without any memory of their past actions. I agree what happened to them is creepy, but I don't see the characters themselves as being creepy. I saw it more as Riker and Ro likely would be into each other if they didn't have all those preconceived notions about each other in the way. I totally see the argument that neither of them could give informed consent since memories that could inform that consent are gone, but I don't see that making them creepy.
Jarrod Wild
2022-04-05 18:44:29 +0000 UTCI've often wondered why McDuff didn't just give himself the rank of captain, and make Picard the executive officer. That way there would've been no one to out-rank him, increasing the chances of his plan succeeding.
Wayne Clarke
2022-04-05 18:31:35 +0000 UTCI know you guys liked the "romance" parts of this, but it's always made me uncomfortable and it felt wrong to who the characters are. I mean everyone has eventuality been roofied by strangers, they don't know who anyone is so it just comes off that creepy Riker and Ro just immediately and literally took advantage to bone. Maybe I'm being overs sensitive but it comes off as creepy rather then cutesy.
