[edit] 1984 similarities

Obviously the physical and mental torture methodologies mirror those used in the Ministry of Love in George Orwell's prophetic novel 1984. The four lights equate to the four fingers held by inner-party member O'Brien. 1984 has been made available as public domain by Project Gutenberg in Australia and possibly other nation-states. --zuzu

[edit] One of the best Episodes

This has got to be one of the msot dramatic TNG episodes. I was too young to remember...but I wonder what the reasction was by fans when it first aired. Does anyone remember? --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 21:27, 17 Nov 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page needs more information

This was one of the greatest TNG episodes. I find that the summary is severly lacking. The recap needs more detail, better quote section would be nice too. The current summary gives almost nothing of the exchanges between Picard and his captor, nor does it say much of anything about the end of the episode after Picard was released, or even while he was released.

[edit] PNA

Summary needs putting into a standard act format. -- Michael Warren | Talk 16:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nudity in Star Trek?

Can anybody explain what the purpose was of having Patrick Steward naked on a closed set? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.188.116.197 (talk).

Realism; to show the vulnerability of the character: "From this point on, you will enjoy no privileges of rank... no privileges of person. From now on, I will refer to you only as "human." You have no other identity." The closed set was most likely out of respect for the actor. --Alan 15:36, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comic

Does anyone know what comic story is noted on this page? I remember hearing about it but can't recall the name. --Golden Monkey 16:56, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
