After Measure of a Man and Up the Long Ladder, it was clear that a Melinda Snodgrass script could be any quality level, and this one still isn't much help there since it was rewritten so much that she very nearly had it declared an Alan Smithee. She hated the implication that Data would have used violence if he'd been able to rather than just taking a moral stand like in her version, and only backed down because she thought Spiner's performance still managed to convey her idea. Also having a rough time here was Wil Wheaton, who gave up a promising role in a French film for what he thought was going to be his important role in the season premiere, except Whoopi Goldberg's schedule forced its production time to swap with this one where Wesley's role could easily just be a random red shirt. Of course, the big highlight here is Picard making the Sheliak sweat after finally discovering a useful loophole, the closest we ever see him come, even in his bitterest old age, to openly telling someone "You know what? Fuck you." I've watched this scene about 167 times, and it keeps on getting funnier every single time I see it. Incidentally, no real life arbitration clause ever gives one party the unilateral choice of who the arbitrator is for the exact reason seen here, and unlike an airplane's whole flight crew having the same meal, we never needed a movie or show to spell out how it can go wrong.

Quite a, as you said, messy-wessy episode, yet a very interesting one. It is a big highlight of the episode how the situation is such that it is as messy as it is, and various characters have differing responses. Naturally, when Data is the one to deal with it, he starts off logically, as you note, and he finds himself somewhat stymied by the stubbornness of Gosheven. I would say you were kinder to Gosheven than I was, though I do concur that the man DOES raise valid points, hence, objectively speaking, one is sympathetic to that. He loses me with the machine prejudice dialogue that makes the bad writing Dr. Pulaski got stuck with initially seem tame. And then there’s his zapping Data, loved your reaction to that. Me, the response I personally had was, “Someone’s dying today, baby.” I love how Data then changes tactics by demonstrating a taste of what’s coming by burning the ships, so to speak. Brent killed it at that part. In Data’s shoes, I’d have been petty, done more permanent damage to the machines, then lay out how they can fight and die, or come with. Then I’d hop in the shuttlecraft, get on the loudspeaker, and say to Gosheven, “And as for you, I believe it was Dostoevsky that said… “Later, fucker!” Now, you can correct the precise wording if needed, but I believe that was the general sentiment that old Fyodor conveyed. Yes? Toodles.” Then I’d fly away. Similar view on Ard’rian. Liked her well enough. Romance felt somewhat superfluous. I had roughly the same reaction to the kiss, albeit I also said, “Hey, whoa. Whoa. Whoa! What the!?” The parting scene is sweet though. Now to Picard’s plot. I feel his frustration of trying to make reasonable requests, and he keeps getting shot down, and hung up on. Which like you said, hanging up on Picard!? The IMPUDENCE! The AUDACITY! The unmitigated GALL! Loved Marina getting the nice scene of Deanna with Picard helping talk him through the strategy. Meantime, Geordi has the relatable energy of the boss wants you to do something impossible, and you do what you can. Shared laugh and love of the scene of Picard inquiring as to the status of Geordi and O’Brien’s progress. And when Geordi answers, how Picard’s “splendid” just screams “Course it fucking is.” loved your laugh at that, Jess. Then it is so great when Picard, as you noted, defaulted to logic, and asked “Where’s the goddamn treaty? We’re finding a goddamn loophole.” Patrick did the damn thing in that scene, and it was glorious. It is immensely satisfying when he hangs up, loved your encouragement of that. My own contribution was to say, “Feels nice to get it in first for a change. Doesn’t it, Jean-Luc?” Other notes: The new vibe of the intro is great. Shared excitement of the string quartet at the beginning. Made me wish I still played, though as it’s a string quartet, I doubt that playing the euphonium would be welcome, even if I was any good at it, which I never really was. Adorable as all hell it is seeing you dance to what we saw, gave me a great big smile. I also got overwhelmed by seeing that Picard and Beverly are each other’s date for the night of attending a string quartet. Be still, my heart. I also shared your reactions of their encouragement of Data, and the ending scene of Picard’s words of wisdom at the end. This reaction was most enjoyable, Jess, thank you.

Jess: "I don't completely dislike this guy" Me: "You probably will in about 5 minutes"
