Actually aphasia can be caused by any traumatic brain injury, although
it is typically caused by stroke (occlusion of one of the main brain
arteries). There are several types of aphasia (six categories in most
books), so which one a patient has depends on the location of the 
brain damage.  Typically this damage is in the left hemisphere.  If the
damage is restricted to the lower secondary motor cortex (Broca's Area),
the patient usually suffers Broca's aphasia: patient has difficulty
controling motor output of their speech, but is aware that he cannot
say what he wants.  If the damage is in upper secondary temporal cortex
(Wernicke's Area), the patient usually suffers Wernicke's aphasia: 
patient has fluent speech (well-spoken mechanically) that make's little
sense, and he is not aware of his deficit.  There are four other 
aphasia types:  two type of transcortical aphasias, global aphasia, and
conduction aphasia.  Each has a different, typical location of the brain
damage (e.g., conduction aphasiacs usually have damage in the arcuate
fasciculus, a bunch of fibers connecting Broca's and Wernicke's Areas),
and a different set of clinical behavior patterns.  In testing, 
repition of speech, fluency, and comprehension are used to judge the
condition (as well as a variety of standardized tests).  Please not
that the different categories of aphasias overlap tremendously and 
are still subject to some controversy as to whether or not they
constitute a separate condition.  In addition, patients may have
the a particular category's behavior type but brain damage in a different
area.  

Sorry in advance about anything that is inaccurate.  This is all from
a neurolinguistics class I took last spring.

	Sort of unrelated, but I hope that Paramount has no plans for DS9
movies.  I think that's been a major part of what's wrong with TNG; they KNOW
they've got a future on the big screen and don't want to make major changes,
when a good shaking up might be something the show could use.  But the desire
to do movies has kept the show pretty static.  Granted there have been some
departures and some additions, but the show doesn't seem to have grown much
lately.

	You, my friend, have obviously never seen the episodes "Q Who"
or "Deja Q", both of which are *excellent* episodes. In "Q Who", Q introduces
the Enterprise to the Borg, to show Picard that space is not for the timid.
Damn good, dark, action-packed episode, with a great climax.

	"Deja Q" is the converse of "True Q"...in this one, Q loses his 
powers and has to deal with being a weak, mortal human. Corbin Bernstein 
makes a terrific guest appearance as another member of the Q continuim.

	I recommend you see both, as it might change your view of Q.

I agree that Picard was not under the influence of the Borg.  If he was, I 
believe we would have seen it beforehand, on a random basis, like Freudian
slips.  Unfortunately, I did not like the episode either.  I have two bases
for this.  

My first is that I find it funny that the Federation is able to do what more
intelligent and powerful races could not.  They are able to get 2 Borgs and
use them to beat the Borg from the inside.   I find that a bit hard to 
believe.  

My other peeve with the episode is the logic of thought that the crew had.
If he is back to an individual status, sending him back could affect the 
Borg.  I felt that the writer was insulting the watcher's intelligence.
When a being is joined with the Borg, they become a small part of an
overwhelming communal inteligence.  They lose their individuality there.
If they send Hugh back, he will be part of them again, and go back to zombie
status again.

From `Rascals', we learn that Treknology includes references to special
sequences stored on the DNA level (I don't remember the gibberish name
they gave them) and that these sequences accounted for age.  My impression
is that the clone received the donars DNA, including this <gibberish>
sequences, so the clone's age must come out to be the age of the original
donor.

These *are* good, but two of the funniest scenes were in "Rascals":  first
where little Picard runs up to Riker shouting "Dad!" and throws is arms
around him.  Riker's expressions of surprise (shock?) turning to that
slighly uncomfortable grin while patting Picard on the back was perfect.

Later, when Riker was trying to explain the computer to the Ferengi ("You
*do* know what a (ram-phroto-stratus-or-whatever) is, don't you?"  "Of
course I do, *human*!  I'm not stupid!" "No, of course not."), and then
launching into the must hilarious description of the computer system I
ever heard, I thought I was going to bust a gut laughing!  The writers
must have had great fun with that scene.

I agree with Eli.  I listened to the theme carefully at the opening of
the last episode of DS9.  It may not have a catchy beat and leave
you humming it afterwards but as a
work of art it is much superior to the theme of TNG.  TNG's theme, while
catchy, is kind of hokey.

I guess I've missed lots of earlier episodes of ST:TNG, and probably 
crucial ones, too.  However, it seems to me that there's some chemistry
between Jean-Luc and Beverly (for instance, there was a lot of discomfort
in two episodes, one where Beverly meets Vash, and the other where 
Jean-Luc hears about Odon's (the trill) feelings towards Beverly). I also
seem to remember hearing that the two characters have been romantically
linked before, but then again, I could be mistaken.  Does anybody know
for sure what the deal is between Jean-Luc and Beverly?
