Rick Berman opined, “I think the direction by Paul Lynch was excellent and the casting was great. Getting Ray Walston to play Boothby was fortuitous and the casting of the three other Starfleet kids was successful. It was not a typical episode, it was not science fiction in nature, it was earthbound and it was a very dramatic character piece and courtroom drama. As filmmaking and one hour dramatic television, I thought it was riveting. It was a terrific episode and by dealing with some of the hi-tech abilities to detect what they were doing, we got elements of science-fiction in there as well.”

ahem

So what tragedy befalls her? Tom Paris got lost on the butthole end of the galaxy, Wesley ran off with an older man, and Sito, well… :eek:

It got better not long after that.

Voyager’s definitely got some high points, but lots of lows, unfortunately. :frowning:

I don’t trust this guy. He is very charismatic. Was Josh really buckling or did he push them too far?

#44

don’t volunteer any more information…

um that’s still lying. by omission.

#45

“I don’t know if I can do this, Nick.”

There’s always one. :rolleyes:

#46

Omission isn’t lying. Just ask Spock. :slight_smile:

#47

Don’t do it, Wes! You’re one of the good guys!

#48

This is a bit after school specially… “Come on, Wes, everyone’s doing it”

#49

Her story has not been told! :eek: Not even in the EU.

That needs to be rectified. adding to things-to-do list

#50

Shut up, Wesley. :stuck_out_tongue:

#51

Let’s write fanfic! Err… let’s not. :rolleyes:

#52

Especially this dad. He is playing the football player that died dad very well.

#53

Don’t confuse me!

Seriously…

#54

Shut Up, Wesley! :smiley:

#55

“Even though you were a nerd, he still looked up to you.”

#56

approximately 9 seconds later…

estimations in the Trek universe are still pretty precise.

Also the Dad coming to see Wes is kind of touching.

#57

this one’s an RDM? curious

#58

No one expects the routine satellite sensor sweep.

#59

I think it’s just Wesley being a bit of a dork.

Also with this obsession with precision, you have to wonder about their knowledge of the way that eyewitness accounts and memory don’t actually portray the events as they happened. Or have they redone the way humans think?
