Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Mintakan tapestry that is given to Picard by Nuria and the villagers is seen on Captain Picard's chair in his quarters in many subsequent occasions on Star Trek: The Next Generation. After the Enterprise-D is destroyed in Star Trek: Generations (1994) Picard keeps the tapestry on the back of his chair in the ready room of the Enterprise-E, it can been seen in both Star Trek: First Contact (1996) and Star Trek: Insurrection (1998).
- GoofsWhen Dr. Crusher contacts the Enterprise to beam up the injured Liko, the reply can be clearly heard as, "Yes, Captain" rather than "Yes, Doctor." This error has been corrected in the remastered release.
- Quotes
[Liko is about to shoot Picard to prove that the latter is a supernatural being]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: If you believe I am all-powerful, then you cannot hurt me. If, however, I am telling the truth, and I am mortal... you will kill me. But if the only proof you will believe is my death... then shoot.

Featured review
For some odd reason, Picard doesn't want to be a god!
Boy, does the Federation screw up this time!!! A group of scientists are observing a bronze age civilization on Mintaka III. As per the Prime Directive, the scientists are hiding behind fake rock in the hills-- shielded from view by the Mintakans. However, their holoscreen malfunctions and the Mintakans SEE them! Sadly, when Picard tries to undo this harm, he accidentally ends up creating a new cult that worships HIM as their god!! So, in trying to undo the damage, they just make things worse!! Should Picard just give up once and for all or is there some way he can possible fix this huge mess?
This is a pretty intriguing show and shows just how much damage can be done unintentionally. Additionally, seeing Picard, the god, trying to dig his way out of this mess was rather entertaining.
