Did you know

- GoofsThough a force field had been erected around the transporter chamber, a re-materializing crew member's leg falls outside the pad before the field is dropped.
- Quotes
Barclay: The idea of being... deconstructed molecule by molecule, it's more than I can stand. Even when I was... a child, I always had a dreadful fear that, if ever I was dematerialized, that I would... never come back again whole. I know, sounds crazy, but...
Counselor Deanna Troi: It's not crazy at all. You *are* being taken apart molecule by molecule.

Featured review
Those transport blues
Back on Star Trek prime DeForest Kelley voiced a negative opinion of the Enterprise Transport system. Just the thought of one's molecules being disassembled and reassembled gave him the willies.
Apparently Lt. Reg Barkley feels the same way. Dwight Schultz in one of his guest appearances as the enigmatic Barkley says he has the Enterprise record for shuttle flights. This all comes up when the Enterprise is called on to a rescue mission, but finds the small science ship seemingly abandoned.
When Schultz transports over there he develops some strange feelings and symptoms. More I cannot tell you, but his feelings turn out to be not psychosomatic but quite real.
I did love the resolution of one of my favorite TNG episodes.
