Answer 1

Hi. A simple antibody was introduced to Reginald "Brochley" Barkley. It mutated and the mutant virus caused the others to mutate. The episode had a few points of interest.

It dealt with mutation. I find that eXtra interesting because I for a long time have suspected that tng was based on X-Men as far as character design. This thought is further supported with Pat Stewart playing both Picard and Xavier.

It featured poor Spot the Cat. Who to that point has gone from being a grey male to an orange tabby male to a female to an iguana

It featured Dwight Shultz aka Howling Mad Murdock

Answer 2

I didn't care for this episode much. First off, if you believe in evolution, then why did so many "human" characters de-evolve into something other than apes?

Speaking of inconsistencies, Spot, Data's cat, has always been male. Now all of a sudden it's female and pregnant? Don't believe me? Go back to the episode 'Phantasms.' In that episode Data clearly says to Worf "Tell him he is a good cat", so being male how can he be pregnant?

Oh, yeah, one more gripe... When Worf is banging away on the Sickbay doors, we can see from our perspective, i.e., inside the room with Data & Picard, that he is putting some hefty dents in it. When we cut to a shot of Worf outside, though, the door is fine. Oops!

Answer 3

Do I even might want to %. merely one? I have 2 tied for sought after and that i love them both both, yet for various causes. "the interior mild" (Episode 525) and "the day gone by's organization" (Episode 315). "the interior mild" became the only the position a probe the organization unearths locks onto Picard and over the approach below a a million/2 hour, Picards reminiscence is infused with residing an complete life on a planet it is been useless for 1000 years. This episode gained the 1993 Hugo Award for perfect Dramatic Presentation. The award became given on the international technological expertise Fiction convention in San Francisco. "the interior mild" became the first television software to be so venerated considering the fact that 1968's movie star Trek episode "the city on the fringe of perpetually". "the day gone by's organization" became also very cool. I continuously love a sturdy area conflict! It became a neat thanks to carry decrease back Tasha for one episode too. inspite of the actual undeniable reality that the ensuing episodes with Denise Crosby as a Romulan were form of weak. those are my sought after!

Answer 4

Because Lieutenant Barklay, being the hypochondriac that he is, was complaining about something to Doctor crusher, turns out he had a genetic defect afterall and she synthesized a T-cell compound or something for him but it caused a mutation that caused him to De-evolve, and it became contagious because of Barklay...Data did not get sick because he is an android, made up of computer circuitry and positronic nets. Data was able to figure out a cure based on the fact that "spot's" kittens hadnt been affected because of the protection afforded by the mothers body...so they got Nurse Ogawa who was pregnant at the time and used the antibdies from her womb to synthesize an antidote.

Answer 5

That's what we call Star Trek "filler". An episode thought up by a couple of writers sitting around a boardroom saying, "Wouldn't it be cool if we did this...". The story was a pretty big stretch. It was inconsistent and unbelievable... but they had to write an episode for Brent Spiner because he's full of himself and needs to save the day.

"Don't worry, Data can fix it".

That android got out of control almost as much as the holodeck.

Answer 6

Data isn't affected by the virus because he's not an organic life form.
