Stanley Kamel makes this whole episode. Now best known as Dr. Kroger from Monk, he's a blast as a very different character here, and the way the episode never makes any bones about how openly, pointlessly abrasive he is at a period when the show's own heroes were notoriously often horribly sanctimonious but we were still supposed to like them just because they're the heroes, is a breath of fresh air. Which is a very good thing, because otherwise we're left with a whole episode about how Wesley Crusher, already getting on fans' nerves as the insufferably precocious child who can always pull the perfect tech solution out of his ass, is LITERALLY the most super special awesome human being who has ever and will ever exist. It really boggles the mind how they predicted the audience reaction to this character so spectacularly wrong. And of course it also doesn't help that the Traveler can so easily come off as being interested in Wesley for, well, other reasons, as Wil Wheaton himself delights in pointing out these days.

My favourite also, of the early episodes. The sequence where Jean-luc meets his mother got to me. My relationship with mine was never like that. My grandmother died when I was barely six months old, but to the family during the thirties, forties and fifties she was strength incarnate. I get this feeling from Jean-luc's mother. That she was a tower of strength to his family.

Yes, we did indeed go on a journey in this episode. This is an episode that I’m not sure how popular it is or isn’t. In revisiting it though, I found it most enjoyable, and I’m happy to hear it’s your favorite thus far. I like your statement that it should be renamed “Sweet and Sassy”. A major highlight was the late great Stanley Kamel as “Sassypants” Kosinski. I was already delighted when I saw Stanley show up. To address how familiar he seemed to you, he was a prolific character actor who appeared in many shows, so the odds are you’ve come across him somewhere. As Ryan noted, his most prominent role was Dr. Kroger on Monk, one of my favorite shows. Watching this again it was a delight seeing him in this role which is so drastically a contrast to Dr. Kroger. I knew you would have strong reactions to Stanley as Kosinski, and those reactions, likewise, were most delightful. Eric Menyuk was great as the Traveler. Most intriguing is the concept of his being an interdimensional being. It was a shared highlight of how the crew envisioned different things. Worf got me right in the heart with his childhood pet that he approximated to a cat. Likewise, it was a sweet moment Tasha had with the literal cat. I know what you mean by wanting to deep-dive into Tasha’s past, unpleasant though some of it would be. Denise Crosby said much the same during the filming. Picard’s scene with his Maman really got the tears going. Hoo boy did Patrick sell that scene. I like how you liked in the end how the crew had to have the good vibes to help save the day, especially for how sweet you found it to be. If I was Picard, I wouldn’t be able to resist, in that, prior to making the jump home, I’d have yelled, “Prepare ship for ludicrous speed! Fasten all seat belts, seal all entrances and exits, close all shops in the mall! Cancel the three-ring circus! Secure all animals in the zoo! Now hear this! Ludicrous speed! GO!!” Strangely bittersweet to see the Traveler fade back to the space between spaces. Concerning the revelations about Wesley, I’m with you on how sweet it was. I do see Ryan’s description of it as the show saying Wesley is, “LITERALLY the most super special awesome human being who has ever and will ever exist.” which I didn’t read it quite that way. I read it as it was saying Wesley is a gifted kid who will likely one day become an important figure in the future. Now, supposing the idea previously mentioned is in fact the intent, and had I thought that’s what they were going for, yes, I’d agree how aggravating the idea is. As it is, I’m not strictly speaking opposed to Wesley being, as I said, a gifted kid who will likely one day become an important figure in the future. I concede that the writing for that may not be the best, perhaps. The idea itself is not the worst thing in the world, to me, anyway. As to the sweaters, I’m trying to recall, and I think there are still scenes of him in the sweaters. I do most love the idea of you doing a cosplay in such sweaters. A most delightful idea, just as this reaction, was most delightful, Jess. Thank you for the lovely reaction.

"It wasn't him. It never was. It was his assistant". That one line apparently caused so much trouble for Jonathan Frakes that he was unable to say it without bursting into hysterics - until eventually everyone on the set ended up in the same state!

I am glad you enjoyed this one. I agree it is the best one so far. I like that it tackles the idea that thought can have an impact on reality. It is too complicated for me to word it correctly, but I think we have a more evidence now (than in the 80"s) that we can impact reality just by observing it. Interesting stuff.

This is the first episode that I've actually enjoyed, and I'm starting to like Wesley.

I always think of Chris Kattan when I see Stanley Kamel
