Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the ship computer is reporting systems that are offline, it lists Sewer and waste management. A long running joke with Star Trek fans is that "bodily functions" such as visiting a toilet are never mentioned. This is one of the few times it is hinted.
- GoofsIt's established that the Doctor is on the holodeck and running a simulation. Lieutenant Barclay says he needs to destroy the holographic imaging system to confirm his being a real person. However even when the Doctor does do this he's still on the holodeck and therefore he wouldn't have disappeared because he destroyed the simulated holographic imaging system. Had he destroyed the real one in Engineering he would've indeed disappeared. This is clearly a false way to prove to the Doctor that he's real.
- Quotes
The Doctor: Did I program Mr. Paris to be so annoying?
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III: Actually, I programmed him. I modeled him after my cousin, Frank.
The Doctor: Hmm, Computer, delete Paris.

Featured review
Picardo and Schultz
The Doctor appears to find the ship abandoned.
This is a strong episode with enjoyable performances.
The plot is elaborately written and obviously meticulously thought out, but you never think for a second it's going to to do anything but press the reset button at the conclusion. Plus the concepts of life and reality are quite familiar from episodes of The Next Generation.
For me the main reason to watch is the Doctor's fun journey back to reality, which has some clever twists and as it unfolds the tension increases. One scene that returns to the events of an early episode is particularly good.
The entertainment provided by pairing Robert Picardo with Dwight Schultz gives an added edge, as the charisma levels are off the charts.
Visually it is very good, which helps the storytelling and the various reveals when they happen.
