    • Nope, there was just no getting around the fact that Minuette was not a real person, and everyone else except for Picard should not have know anything about her. 😒👎 So, the whole thing had to be fake. Or course, I think Riker was wrong to tell Tomoloc that was how he knew it was all not real. If that had to be left unexplained to the audience as well, then so be it.

    • When you know something is wrong, you may not be able to always explain the situation to others because they don’t see what’s happening and why. Knowing it, now just dealing with it. At some point you just defy the world illusionary subsequent behavior and make a stand for what you know to be right! No regrets.

    • I'm sure they put that in there as a joke. However if you had a real empath I think it would be hard for them to tell when everyone else already knows how the person is feeling. Just like it's hard for Data to know how much information is needed. Also, the show has to make the person's emotions and intentions obvious to the audience but they're not necessarily supposed to be obvious to the crew. I see that in other shows where it seems obvious that someone's lying, and the protagonist doesn't realize it.

    • I am 100% sure it was a joke that was making fun of the fact that she is often Counselor Obvious. I also have a theory why she states the obvious, 1. The audience can often tell if a character is up to something though the others in the story can't, 2. It is possible Picard is particularly bad at reading peoples' emotions. 3. It would be hard for her to know when others can read someone's emotions, because she doesn't have to rely on facial cues and body language. It's like how Data doesn't know if he's stating the obvious.

  • What I like about this is how Riker dismantles the illusion using the knowledge of his crewmen. He specifically targets parts of their personalities only he would know. For example; Picard wouldn't have shut up when told to and Troy would have absolutely freaked out if told to "back off" He used his personal relationship with his crew to prove his point. That's why he's Captian material and has been so for so long. To the point Picard asks him why he keeps denying the positions offered to him.

    • Within the context of the episode, it's supposed to be blatantly obvious because that Troi was an illusion, so therefore didn't have empathic powers. It's the kind of obvious statement a child would make, which is exactly what it was. In real life, (on the show anyway) her ability allows her to pick up on non-obvious cues and other more subtle emotions such as deception, and jealousy. Also she could sense another life form or sentient presence when the computer could not. I highly enjoyed this series so I will speak in its defense when necessary. I WILL say that it wasn't perfect, though.

Funny part is, when Tomalok says "the charade is over", that's also a lie; there's more to come AFTER this amazing clip. Not the absolute best episode of season 4, but a good example of the generally high bar of quality we get from that season onward (and 3 was at least starting to get that good; 7 drops off a little but not much IMO, and 5 and 6 are absolute gold with few exceptions). By the way, I never noticed before that Troi has yet another new hairstyle in this episode, never seen elsewhere.

    • What I never understood is why the charade was even dropped. I've found myself in situations where I know I was being deceived, I think we all have. After going back and forth one starts getting comments like "You always have to be right' or "I feel like I'm being trapped by all the questions." or "You're just being an asshole". I guess I'm saying that if they had kept going long enough he'd be curled into a corner drooling and doubting his own sanity. So why stop? Romulans aren't above torture and they wanted information. Kept the plot going I guess.

The actress wasn't comfortable with the form-fitting body suits and low cut tops they had her wear, but her choice was to wear them or not be on the show. Since she's just eye candy she can't really be solving major issues all by herself, can she? The truth is that if Deanna's character had been utilized to her proper potential, she could have avoided huge portions of their conflicts and problems. But if that happened then there wouldn't have been nearly as much show and the writers would have had to work even harder. So eye candy she remained, even after they started treating her character more "seriously." It's one of my only major complaints about TNG.

Maybe Riker went easy on the illusory Deanna because he didn't have anything in particular to say to such an obvious simulation. Riker 'loves' all his friends, in different ways. Also The Enterprise Herself. Imagine someone imitating your home and friends and pretending to know what they all are about. So I think Riker maintained his composure pretty well overall in that situation.
