    It's interesting how they come to the correct conclusion: Data is protecting them from a threat with his silence, and Picard even says that he's willing to live with the mystery, and then they all go screw it up anyway.

      the problem is simple, he's willing to live with the mystery, but he has to know it's a mystery, he has to to a degree understand that data is in the situation for a reason. Ultimately it's not the planet that's the conundrum, it's data.

    This was a fun episode but it makes no sense from any angle. The Enterprise was attacked twice and the captain surrendered without even taking damage or assessing the threat level. He just took their word that they would be destroyed without even checking to see if that was even a possibility. Then the time difference... after the second attack, the ship's clocks are now two days out of sync with the rest of the galaxy. The first message they get from anyone other than the Enterprise will show a two day difference. Even a simple email from a family member to anyone on the crew would seem to be from the future. Like I said, fun, but ridiculous even for science fiction.

    • @Cragified
      @Cragified 3 роки тому

      This was one of the few episodes that dealt with time dilation when not utilizing 'warp drive' and simply high order impulse and the transition from one to the other causes clocks to drift. In canon a wormhole can cause time dilation such as when approaching the relativistic speed of light so losing a day or more is simply an effect of it.
      Not to drag on the explanation too long with technobabble the solution is to set everything up at a point of time after the 24 hours to make it appear to the crew that the ship encountered a random wormhole and simply accept what happened because time dilation is an understood issue to all space faring species.
