Storyline

- TriviaWhen the Bridge crew accesses the manifest of the Senior officers, it reveals the birth dates for most of them on-screen: Jean-Luc Picard, 13 July 2305; Data, Activated 2 February 2238 (an error; it should be 2338); Geordi La Forge, 16 February 2336; Deanna Troi, 9 March 2336; Beverly Crusher, 13 October 2334; Ro Laren, 17 January 2340. The camera cuts away when the computer reveals the birth dates and biological info for Will Riker and Lt. Worf, but that information is revealed in other various episodes (Riker was born in 2335 and Worf in 2340).
- GoofsIn the first scene, where Data is playing chess with Counselor Troi, he uses the contraction "I've": "... particularly since I've already taken both of your rooks." For whatever reason, Data has a reputation for being unable to use verbal contractions.
- Quotes

I Forgot Why I Liked This Episode
When one accepts a willing suspension of disbelief, he can go from there. I decided not to worry about how the loss of memory was accomplished and go from there. It was interesting how the pecking order began to be established. While Macbeth never appeared on Star Trek, MacDuff showed up here. We close viewers of Star Trek notice quickly that this guy shouldn't be here. What the heck is he up to? We find out quickly that he is a war monger. The neat thing is that while the crew didn't know who they were, they maintained their areas of expertise. Worf assumes authority which would be a natural leap, considering self-survival is the first thing they must establish. A things play out, they believe they are at war and have been for a long time. This helps to fuse them into soldiers, although Picard begins to have some doubts. MacDuff eggs people on, trying to convince them they must kill or be killed. Clues slowly surface and once they know their positions on the ship, it helps to define them. Unfortunately, it concludes so abruptly, we don't get to see the pieces fall into place. Still, lots of fun.
