YATI :
Why doesn't Troi appear in this episode? Surely it would be useful to have her monitoring Picard's mind while he is unconcious, like she did with Riker in "Shades of Grey".
Great Moment :
Patrick Stewart puts in one of his greatest acting performances in all of the next generation for this episode. It's truly wonderful.
Body Count :
Zero.
Factoid :
Virtually all the 'outdoors' sections of this episode were actually filmed on an indoor set.
This episode is a nominee for the DITL "
Best of Trek" award.
Plotline
