See what happens when you don’t listen to your own advice? :eek:
And later, Riker’s personality disappears. Another contradiction.
Whut?!! Discontinuities in Star Trek? Never!! :rolleyes:
In love? Couldn’t she just be in lust?
“Both as a scientist and as a woman.”
Whoa! Watch there Trill-boy. You about to get some of Picard’s boot up yo Trill butt!
As I say to my kids, “Do as I say, not as I do”
Do any Federation ambassadors (besides Spock) not have any weird secrets? Symbiotic species, deaf with a chorus, emotional vampire, etc.?
I thot that’s what was normal for ambassadors? (EverythingIKnowIlearnedFromStarTrek)
Riker has a personality? :eek:
Deanna would know the difference.
So you suggest that your kids don’t marry your wife? Good advice. 
As also typical Star Trek fashion, they handle the inconstancies in the EU.
In the novel Forged in Fire, the radically different Trill appearance seen in this episode was a mutation caused when a Trill colony was visited by Klingons carrying the augment virus - however, the Trill saw no pressing need to “restore” their appearance as the Klingons did, and by the time of the story (2290 - 77 years before the episode) they had been accepted back into Trill society.
A suggestion, not a rule. I’m pretty sure my youngest is gonna marry a girl though.
My father said that all the time. I haven’t used it yet. But my daughters aren’t teenagers yet. Once that happens, I’ll probably say that line everyday.
So why couldn’t the Trill transport? Dax certainly used the transporter, didn’t he/she/it?
Riker. Always ready for someone to stick something in him.
SILENCE!! Do not question!!
Curiously, Odan refuses to be transported in this episode, and Dr. Crusher affirms the notion that using a transporter would damage the Trill symbiont. This limitation is never touched upon again in any follow-up episode in Trek canon, as Jadzia, Ezri, and others use the transporter freely.
But not your wife? Please say no. :eek:
“Could I carry the Trill?”
Data, that was the stupidest question you ever asked? (But I blame the writers)
Also:
The inconsistencies between TNG and DS9 Trills were dealt with in the novels by suggesting that ridged Trills and Trills who could not be transported were subgroups of Trill society; both were mentioned or shown during the scenes on Trill, and the inability of some Trills to be transported was a plot point.
Rikker: Could I volunteer?
Picard: Certainly. But why, Number One?
Rikker: Because I’ve always wanted to bang the doctor.
I like the symbiont in this episode. The Dax symbiont always looked like a big slimy turd. :eek:
