The original script simply had Picard being injured and Beverly treating him, leading to an explicit romantic connection. This got switched around both because Roddenberry hadn't wanted a romance between them and his departure was still so fresh that no one was yet comfortable with deviating from his wishes, and even in those pre-Internet days Trek fanfic was a huge thing in fanzines and "hurt/comfort" romances had become an especially mocked cliche, so they worried about directly playing into that. And it was definitely for the best, as it's inherently way more interesting to see someone having to work outside their skillset. A solid but unexceptional episode, though I do really love Picard allowing Geordi to stay in command a bit longer at the end, especially when you remember his awe at the chair in Angel One.

You were not annoying on your scale to 10 that you spoke of. So, 0 out of 10. In fact, your reaction was on par with what I expected knowing what happened in this episode and who it focused on. Yes, this plot is basic (and you basically guessed it right away). I am a plot guy and a character guy so the plot could have been better but overall, a fine episode and again one that I suspected you would love.

Goddamn it, this reaction was amazing, Jess! My birthday’s not till April, yet this feels like a fantastic early birthday present, this reaction to this wonderful episode! On a scale of one to ten of how annoying you were with this episode, you were at negative 9000 with this one, Jess; you were not annoying at all. I loved every single second of this. Everything is indeed beautiful in this episode. Which makes it interesting that critics then and now tend to not favor this episode much. Thankfully one agreed upon bright spot from the critics was the guest appearance of the late GREAT character actor, Vincent Schiavelli. When he popped up, I screamed, “Shut the FUCK UP!! He’s in this!?” Vincent, as always, was lovely as the salesman. Yes, a slightly predictable plot, but with these fantastic character moments, who cares? Great to see Denise again sell Tasha’s professionalism, and when the machines are doing the bob and weave against her, I’m yelling, “Serpentine, Tasha! Serpentine!” I already knew that Geordi would not be dethroned as your favorite of the main crew of Next Gen. Thus, when we got to this episode, I KNEW you would be so euphorically happy with LeVar killing it as Geordi in his time in command of the Enterprise in this episode. There is a reason he is your favorite, and it is on such strong display in this episode. Shame the sentiment is not shared by Engineer Logan, which I think is one of the fastest occasions in which a murderous rage has been incited in you, Jess, and I lived for it. I’m with you on that. One such moment was when Logan said to Geordi, “You are leaving them on the planet.” I replied, “Like you wanted to do originally, ya fucking hypocrite?” Is it dramatic that your judgment of what an appropriate response to a motherfucker coming for Geordi is. “You are accused of treason and anti-Geordi behavior. The court finds you guilty and sentences you to be shot.”? Maybe. Is it wrong? No, it ain’t. I don’t think so. In fact, to my knowledge, said motherfucker never appears again, so maybe they took your words to heart. Lovely to see Marina get the great Deanna moment, and I love you most loved it as well. Now to my two favorites of the main crew of Next Gen, Picard and Beverly, who likewise, are never getting dethroned. Patrick and Gates were beyond marvelous in all their scenes. I kept getting filled with such gleeful delight during their scenes, your reactions to them, and I kept echoing all your commentary during their scenes. For instance, yes, one does question the purpose of a random hole in the ground if it does not yield the result of Picard and Beverly falling romantically on top of each other. Likewise, I shared your frustration on the lack of the grand romantic gesture of Picard confessing undying love to Beverly. Not to mention the dearth of cuddling, which when you commented on it, I chimed in with, “Jean-Luc, Jess is finding you to be most loutish in refusing to cuddle with our dear sweet Beverly! We need to rectify this egregious error, post haste!” As Ryan commented, Roddenberry put the kibosh on any overt romance, and everyone went along with the decision. RAT BASTARDS!! That said, we do get the talk of Beverly’s past, and when it comes to keeping oneself awake whilst injured, Beverly was much more calmly professional about it than Alan Alda’s half hour one man monologue to the one Korean family. There’s been a popular joke about the crew of the Enterprise shooting themselves and the federation in the foot by not taking the machine with them given subsequent Star Trek events. I assume the floor model was not for sale. Other highlights of the reaction: you noting the doomsy lighting of the battle section of the Enterprise. The doomsy lighting is a pleasing aesthetic to me as well, yes. Then there was Geordi saying it was quite the sales pitch beating you by one second, and your subsequent reaction to that was most adorable. There was also your strategy for how to deal with the machine. Were it not for Data saying destruction of the machine would blow the planet up, I would heartily concur with your strategy of giving the machine a good thump. Then there was your “Oh, drat!” reaction when your predictions of Rice being a zed word proved false, that was most amusing. And when you inquired about Rice being a ghost, I quipped, “No, Jess, the ghost would be Vincent’s character. Very peculiar to see him outside of the subway.” Thank you, Jess, so very, very much for this beautiful reaction, it meant the world.

I just finished The Autobiography of Picard, which I can't recommend enough for Picard/Beverly shippers. For one thing, it manages what the show never really could and makes Jack Crusher a living, breathing human being with his own hopes and dreams, whose death is a huge tragedy and fully makes you understand why they'd be uncomfortable giving in to their feelings for each other. And then it builds their relationship so well weaving between canon events, until they finally get married. Unfortunately, it was written before Picard Season 3 which completely contradicts that ending, but it's still nice that the scene exists.

Recorded message from the planet Magrathea: It is most gratifying that your enthusiasm for our planet continues unabated. And so we would like to assure you that the guided missiles currently converging with your ship are part of a special service we extend to all of our most enthusiastic clients… And the fully armed nuclear warheads are, of course, merely a courtesy detail. We look forward to your custom in future lives. Thank you. Arthur Dent: Listen, if that’s their sales pitch what must it be like in the complaints department?
