I wonder if he's really hairless, or they had to do to him what was done

:)	6)  Nice symbolic FX shot at the end of the episode.

Well, it was a nice view, but kind of cheesey...

Most of the computer commands are done by voice. The computer wouldn't 
have recognized young-Picard's voice. Now as to why there are no 
backup manual entry passwords or something....

Dear Michael,
	There is a man who occasionally posts to the politics groups who
currently believes the government is being run by alien life forms in
disguise and that the CIA and FBI are Nazi groups in disguise.  This is
also the same man who held up David Horowitz on the Los Angeles news one
night in the mid-80s and ordered him to read a statement to this effect.

Given the fact that you believe "The Naked Now" to be better than any
episode so far this season, I am beginning to wonder if I should hook you
two up.  You could have some fascinating conversations together I'm sure.

: This episode was not that good.  It seemed too similar to the old

: old, Picard and company were turned young and fight the Ferengi.

The only elements I see in common are 
 1. There was an age change
 2. The ship was threatened by Federation foes.
 3. The Romulans are mentioned

In "The Deadly Years", the away team encounters a radiation upon 
investigating a science station on a planet, and this radiation
causes rapid aging (and, in one instance, death) in all of the
away team except Chekov.  Dr. McCoy finds a cure that causes
some thrashing around in SickBay.  But, the cure comes after
Kirk is removed from command by a Commodore that happens to be
aboard.  When the Commodore makes the mistake of crossing into
the Neutral Zone, the Romulans attack the ship.  Kirk, after
treatment returning him to his normal age, returns to the bridge
to safe the ship.

In "Rascals", there is no science station.  The "away team" is
a group returning to the Enterprise after a shore leave.  The
radiation did not directly cause the age change, the transporter
did.  The Captain was not removed from command, but instead
turned it over to Riker.  The enemies captured the ship and
Picard bested them without returning to his normal age.  

Even in the points where there are similarities between the episodes,
the episodes are so different that the only way I can see calling them
"too similar" is to have only seen the `Cliff Notes' version of 
the episodes.

The only thing I have to add is this:

After reading through months on this newsgroup about everyone complaining
that Wesley always saved the ship.....


So many were happy when Wesley got the boot......

So now, they transform the adults backs to kids so THEY can save
the ship!

Let's face it, someone on TNG has a bug up their butt about loving
to have a kid save the ship!

   No, no, it's much worse than you think.  Data was using a six-gun, and
the crew were all in old west costumes (in an old west movie set)...

			Isn't there a technobabble reason why the Federation
doesn't use cloaking devices (drains too much power, damaging to health of
crew, etc.)? If this isn't on a FAQL by now, it should be... maybe one of the
FAQL keepers could answer this one...
