    • Trivia
      The equation that Seven writes on the mirror is known as "Euler's Identity".
    • Goofs
      Raffi tells Agnes that the transporter window she has opened in the palace shields will only remain open for 10 more seconds. Rios starts the beam-out 25 seconds later, and does not beam out the last of their party for nearly 40 seconds, well after the 10 second window should have closed.
    • Quotes

      Jean-Luc Picard: What is this?

      Q: This? This is home.

      Jean-Luc Picard: And where are the crew of the Stargazer?

      Q: Oh, how quaint. How provincial. How yesterday's Enterprise of you. There is no Stargazer.

      Jean-Luc Picard: What do you mean? What have you done?

      Q: Show them a world of their own making and they ask you what you've done. So human of you.

      Jean-Luc Picard: Q, have you had enough of playing games with other people's lives? I am no longer your pawn.

      Q: Oh, you undersell yourself, Jean-Luc. You are more than just a piece. Why, you're the very board upon which this game in played.

      Jean-Luc Picard: And I am too old for your *bullshit*!

      Q: Old. Yes! How unfair time is. So many wrinkles. So many disappointments.

    10/10
    This episode is worth a solid 10.
    What a joy, this episode has the same stamina as the first. I'm not gonna spoil anything but so far this season of Picard is hitting the right notes. This is what modern trek is supposed to be. Go watch and enjoy.
