    You guys missed the obvious joke that Geordi probably can't see the paintings anyway because he can only see energy or whatever.

    @HopeAndrea_HFG 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This episode was very light on the crossover scale-really, just an excuse to use the DS9 set and throw in a Bashir cameo. I found myself wishing for more crossover interaction. The idea of Klingons, particularly Worf’s father, being on that distant planet was an interesting tease though.

    You know, the Federation has no form of currency, having given up on the concept once they invented replicators. So Shrek expecting payment from Worf seems fairly optimistic.
    I guess Worf could just 3D print some money. I mean, replicators can make virtually anything, which would obviously include whatever grubby ha'pennies some bridge troll wants.

    this is also the
    TNG episode
    that coincided with the
    DS9 episode
    MOVE ALONG HOME
    where
    Dr BASHIR
    vanished so he could do
    this crossover
    BUT
    if that were true
    wouldn't he have been
    trapped in the game
    CHULA ?
    maybe it's a
    different STARDATE
    so these 2 events aren't
    connected in universe

    D+ for me.
    Why would Doctor Bashir (in Sickbay, no less) be so interested and. Putting aise the needed security protocols (4 years after Contagion and The Enemy and any old systems can interact with one simple click 🤣) so succifiently knowledgeable in technology? (By DS 9 season 50, he's retconned as being a genetically engineered superhuman would answer this, but for years everyone thought "why not Miles for a crossover as he has the requisite skill and secrurity clearance for Engineering, where all that gear belonged? Or even R2D2? Wven R2D2 makes more sense."
    Nice callout to "V" too. 👍

    Good review. This wasn't a favorite episode of mine. The plot, like other 2-part episodes, dragged on. Data's dream sequence didn't help any.
    C- for me.
    On character development:
    I never truly get the feeling that Warf is progressing beyond an insecure security officer. He always has that puzzled frown on his face...or perhaps that's the make-up.
    Data exploring dream sequences is just annoying. When exploring a dream in movies and life, it seems to always leave the dreamer and audience in a state of puzzlement. Never a pleasant feeling.
    The introduction of Deep Suck...I mean Space Nine, I tried not to downgrade this episode because of it. In fact, I think I moved it up a partial grade just to be sure I wasn't being biased.
