The original script focused much more on the romance, right up to a strong implication that Picard and Jenice had sex during a commercial break. A lot of crew members, including Patrick Stewart, objected hard to that and got it toned down, much to the fury of co-writer Hannah Louise Shearer, who also noted that it was only men who voiced any problem with it. And she was disappointed in the lack of chemistry between Stewart and Michelle Phillips, though I find it fits perfectly for these two people who used to be close but just don't fit together anymore. I mentioned before the book The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard, and this episode in particular becomes a lot deeper if you read it, and get the full details of their relationship and why he ended it.

I'd have enjoyed this episode far more if it had explored the time-looping concept with greater depth. As it is,the writer is really only using it as a McGuffin in order to explore Picard's failed romantic past relationship - and, despite Patrick Stewart's superb and understated performance, it really doesn't involve the viewer as much as the writer intended. We feel for Picard because he doesn't want to let his guard down, emotionally; and we can sense his regret - but the story lacks sufficient poignancy. In the end, it regretfully misses the mark both with it's somewhat cursory handling of a great sci-fi concept; and with Picard's emotional backstory. Worth watching for Patrick Stewart,though.

Hm. Looks like I may be one of the few that really liked this story and actually I rank it amongst my favourites of the whole series. Reminds me in a way of the song Crazy little Thing Called Love. "This thing called love, I just can't handle it. This thing called love, I can't get round to it." As Tasha said, "The heart of an explorer and the soul of a poet." The two pull at each other and he lost his assurance in the unaccustomed conflict and chose flight. We know he regrets the hurt very much and, internalizing it, he chooses to mask it and why he so brusquely dismissed Deanna's diagnostic of his innermost feelings. He compartmentalized the guilt away from any prying eyes and didn't appreciate that which was locked away being exposed in front of the bridge crew. It was shown in the very first episode that he is a very private man, given to melancholy and more than a touch of loneliness. Masking that is his way of retaining command and composure.

This did feel like a middle of the road episode; one that feels like an original series vibe. My main issue is the juggling plotlines. Both were intriguing, I have no overt issue with either, they just, they don’t get explored as much as they could have been, which makes sense given the romance subplot was somewhat shot down as I see Ryan detailed. I share the opinion that romance subplots that deal with old flames are a gamble. They have to be either impeccably written or the leads in question need to have superb chemistry, such as Picard and Beverly. Alternatively, you have Harrison Ford and Karen Allen in the Indiana Jones series where the chemistry is like lightning in a bottle. I have no romance and/or dating experience, so I can’t put forth anything of worth. I will say that I don’t disagree with the opinions you expressed. You spoke of your own dating experience, your experiences in college. I hear what you’re saying. Again, I can’t offer anything to add to that, though I can say that I heard what you said, Jess, and I don’t dispute your feelings. I concur that Jenice does kind of get the shit end of the stick as you succinctly described. I likewise concur that it is a highlight that the episode had the Data focus. Especially Data doing the Kirk moves before he sucks in that wirey gut and does the damn thing. We also just gloss over his use of a contraction, or in my case, I excuse it as the high pressure situation caused him to uncharacteristically use a contraction. Quite nice to see him solve the time loopy as you put it. I related a bit too much to when Deanna observed that for Picard, “Confronting deep personal issues is not easy for you. You tend to suppress them.” I dryly noted, “Well, that’s me told.” And I agree with you about if Deanna wished to discuss something privately, I’d take her up on that as yes, she’d read me to complete filth. Other highlights were, one, your comments on the fencing. I think I recall you’ve spoken before about some type of fencing experience. I also quite enjoyed your investment in the cheese in the holodeck. You say that you would never say no to cheese, never. That would depend on the cheese in my case. I’m partial to provolone and mozzarella myself. Again, middle of the road episode, yet still, a most enjoyable reaction, Jess, thank you.

I get what you're saying about her reaction to the holodeck Paris date at the end. and there are quite a few past relationships that would make me react like you in that situation. but we saw in her earlier interactions with the captain that she wasn't bitter about the whole thing. I think the memory is probably only painful in a nostalgic sense for her at this point, she remembers how she felt in the moment and she probably thinks it's somewhere between cute and silly now. because a) Picard handled it like a child, proving that he lacked the emotional maturity to be worth her time even back then and b) she loves her husband dearly and from the looks of it, she's even still /in love/ with him. she has an exciting life - never dull - and no regrets. so, the date made it up to her past self that she still carries within and her current self was the one who took a look around, appreciated the technology and then got out and back to her husband. that's how I read it.
