I once dreamed of the possibilities that a holodeck would offer. No longer. Now I horrified.

I'm not sure the galaxy is ready for Wholesome Gawron.

How else are you supposed to boil wine?

I feel compelled to add the king of all safety labels. Thanks, Haas lathes:

Banging the machines may result in a fatal oil spill.

So, more like badminton then?

This episode is by far my favorite for many reasons. It opposes the idea of people as property. It establishes Data as more than a quirky idea and firmly grounds him as a character. Also,something that I think is often avoided in discussions of this episode is that it shows Riker has an immense amount of loyalty and respect for Picard. He is willing to literally disassemble his friend in order to carry out his duty (even though it visibly upsets him). Even though a lot of the dialogue is poor (let's be honest here that is 90% of Trek), the overall writing is brilliant.

I do.

I had to put the glowing screen down for a solid 30 seconds to laugh. I love all of you magnificent nerds!

Oddly enough, this was inspired by your reaction to my suggesting a negative on the "That's good. That's bad." thread lol
