If you remember, Geordi was trying to hook up Data's head to Data's body, and
the computer diagnostic was reading a blockage in the input injectors (or
something like that).  Geordi took a closer look (closer, presumably, than
Data would take a look) because Geordi was trying to get it to work, rather
than just examining it for archaeological/historical value that Data was doing.

As the title suggests, the primary theme of TA is the conundrum of
time travel.  One of the overriding concerns of Picard and Guinan
was that history fulfill itself. Even Twain realizes this at the end
of the second episode, when he decides to leave his watch in the
cave. If Picard brought back Data's head, then the head never would
hve been discovered in the 24th century and history would have been
radically altered. Picard and the crew have actually gotten more savvy
about dealing with this issue, since they have faced it a few times
before.

As near as I can make out, what some people have been calling an 
explosion was actually the time portal opening and Data was at the 
exact spot where it opened (in his neck, as someone else noted). 
His body fell into the 24th century and his head into the 19th.
Quite a stretch.

Until I started reading all these comments, I wasn't sure why the 
episode seemed so flat. I was just vaguely dissatisfied. (Coming
home after a date and watching the show on tape at 1:00 a.m. didn't
leave me in the sharpest condition to critique it.) It really is 
riddled with thoughtless inconsistencies, loosely tied ends, and
improbable plot devices. I expect that, with the seeds that this
discussion has planted, the whole thing will fall completely 
apart if I watch it again.

If you're new, sorry for the scream.

O'Brian is and has always been a Chief Petty Officer.  The Lt. reference is from
season one and two (and any other season B4 the character of O'Brian was 
established), since the actor was a 'regular' EXTRA (not portraying a named 
part) and not O'Brian, yet.

This is and will always be O'Brian's rank (until they actually decide to promote
him.

Yes, the TNG theme does predate the series.  I just watched Star Trek: The

series.  And that movie was released in 1979.

The new one is the current one, and the old one is the rerun.

Gawd, ask a question with so little inforation included in it, and you'll
get an equally information contentless answer.

I suppose that someone in the same area as you might be listening, and
therefore be able to provide a better answer; however, if you expect
resolution of this issue from anyone else, you'll have to give us more
details.

How about watching next Monday, and posting the air times along with the

In Vendetta, Warp 10 is described as being "AT ALL POINTS IN THE UNIVERSE AT
ONCE"  If the borg, or anything else, goes warp 10, they have basically left 
our universe.  In other words, you may be everywhere at once, but you can't

Although I agree that the glasses covered the mounts, do remember that

Californians had more sense than that - hence black men didn't have a

	This week's Newsweek has a reference to TNG in it's article
on the cultural elite. It had a flow-box on the men's movement, and
how the idea of it filtered from Robert Bly onto the big time, being
covered in hit TV shows.

	It said in Fall of 1991 TNG had an episode that dealt with the men's 
movement. I assume they mean "Darmok".  

	What do people think of this interpretation of "Darmok"? That it's
about men getting away from it all, opening up to each other and
asserting their manliness in the wilderness? Any comments?

	Or are they referring to another early season 5 show?

As near as I could figure, the snake was a "key" to the "doors" at both
ends of the "tunnel" that was spanning time.  The "doors" themselves
could not be moved, at least certainly as far as time and landing place
on Dividia 2 (or whatever).  It would seem that the landing place in San
Fransico was somewhat random (although seeing the rest of the E crew
muddle around and get situated would have been nice).
