Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe menu at the Café des Artistes includes such delicacies as "Croissants D'ilithium", "Klingon Targ a la mode," "Tribbles dans les blankettes," and "L'Antimatter Flambé."
- GoofsWhen Data puts the antimatter in the stream, he asks for a 27 second count down. Data has an internal chronometer and is notorious for giving arrival times down to the second. He is also capable of handling multiple calculations and thoughts at the same time without distraction. Why would he need an external audio countdown? Data requested the external audio countdown before the time distortion occurred because he knew that, when it occurred, there would be more than one of him and then could link his chronometer with the correct dimension.
- Quotes
Jenice Manheim: I've thought a lot about this over the years, and perhaps you're leaving out your greatest fear - the real reason you left.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Which was?
Jenice Manheim: That... life with me would have somehow made you... ordinary.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [ponders this, then laughs embarrassed] You're wonderful. And am I that transparent?
Jenice Manheim: Only to me.

Featured review
A Senior Trekker writes................
Writing in 2021, it is great to see that I am not the only person taking a retrospective look at Star Trek, the Next Generation. When this series was first released in 1987, a little less than twenty years after the end of the Original Series, many people thought that, without Captain Kirk and his crew, it couldn't really be Star Trek. However, original creator Gene Roddenberry, was fully invested in the casting, writing and overall look of the new series, so let's see how it shaped up:
This episode was embarrassingly bad at the time and hasn't aged well, either.
Why did the crewmembers, confronted with a potentially universe-ending, race against time, interdimensional phenomenon, spend so much time talking about their feelings?
Why on earth did Michelle Phillips agree to do this piece if she felt so uncomfortable in the role?
Why did Patrick Stuart, who has the skills to romance a cardboard cut-out convincingly should he feel so inclined, turn in a performance so completely devoid of charm?
The screen realisation of the Cafe Des Artistes was about as Gallic as plate of cold French fries and an insult to the Parisians of any century.
Best forgotten.
