Just watching it now. Should be pretty entertaining. Good episode and I am wondering how Chuck will review it.

I caught this the other day. It's one of my favourite episodes and I'm glad he did it, and did it well. Particiularly enjoyed the comments on Scotty feeling needed and the paradox of building a Dyson Shell (not a Sphere, good to see he caught that one).



You are standing on a 4.5 billion year old complex, self-sustaining organic spacship, which is orbiting a power source a million times larger than your ship. There are 200 billion other power sources, many of them with ships like yours, in your fleet. There are 40 other fleets in the immediate neighbourhood and your entire neighbourhood is moving at two million miles per hour towards an object 150 million light years away. Welcome to life, it's a lot more exciting when you think on larger scales.

Chuck's commentary on Scotty's supposedly broken arm and the carelessness treated to it is hilarious.

Quote:
Scotty is so pleased he hardly notices the blind guy keeps walking into his broken arm.

Geordi listens and is amazed at his ingenuity and genius and shows it by prodding his arm repeatedly.

But Geordi is quiet and then decides to pick up his spirits by whacking his broken arm good and hard before taking him to sickbay.
