message: What the torturer asks Picard to do is basically doublethink. Should there be a link of some sort to Doublethink? Mercruz (talk) 10:57, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Doublethink 

message: PICARD: You are six...years old...weak..and helpless...you cannot...hurt me!
CARDASSIAN: How many?
And then, Picard says something that might be a quote from Shakespeare. Does anybody know what is is??
* From the script: PICARD'S VOICE (singing in some desperation) Sur le pont... d'Avignon... on y danse... on y danse... It's a french song, see Sur le pont d'Avignon
Thank you. I appreciate that. Chesty95 02:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: On the contrary- the episode itself is a reliable source for the article. I'm not saying that the article couldn't be improved with a rewrite, but I disagree that it's all OR. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 09:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Specifically the comparisons to 1984 and Brazil.  This isn't the place for original literary analysis. I'm at least removing that part.  nadav
As the 1984 reference is still there, I was going to add a footnote regarding Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, in which Petruchio kidnaps and imprisons Katherina and subjects her to sleep deprivation, starvation, and other unpleasantness until she freely admits the moon is the sun and the sun is the moon. Obviously Shakespeare predates Orwell, but as there is some controversy regarding literary analysis and torture discussions, I'll keep my hands off except to say I believe more is better, analysis and discussion should be encouraged, and it's a credit to everyone involve with Star Trek: The Next Generation that the series generates such lively interest sixteen years after its final episode first aired.

thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: Corrected unneccessary political statement, as what is currently considered to be a part of US and British law is not relevant for a wikipedia summary of the article. --Zenten (talk) 15:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How is it vandalism? It is stylistically consistent with other Wikipedia articles about the situations Picard finds himself in. Therefore, characterizing what happens in this episode as torture is an NPOV violation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.235.139.169 (talk) 19:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Other Wikipedia articles could be wrong as well. Original research is original research.Lots42 (talk) 14:50, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Political Vandalism 

message: Perhaps this article should link to the one on Gaslight / Gaslighting ... This seems to correspond to the form of psychological abuse / torture that Picard faces?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.202.213 (talk) 01:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gaslighting 

message: I read/heard somewhere, shortly after these episodes aired, that Patrick Stewart watched some Amnesty International videos about political prisoners, in preparation for the role.  Does anyone have a source for this? --204.246.229.130 (talk) 18:32, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Source for later expansion 

message: It says they worked together on Helmet in 1965 and Warner praised the young Stewart. Patrick Stewart is actually the elder of the two of them so more context would help. 84.71.36.28 (talk) 17:00, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
