Mention of USS Excelsior[]

I thought Worf's adopted father mentioned the USS Excelsior in an earlier season. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.164.23.154 (talk).

Nope, that was the USS Intrepid (mentioned in "Family"), an Excelsior-class starship. --Jörg 12:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

With Starship Deploy Status now deciphered, it is logical, that the USS Excelsior is not Sulu's USS Excelsior, but USS Excelsior --GDK (talk) 15:59, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Data's mannerisms[]

In the scene where Geordi and Data are illicitly manning the probe, just as Data swaps the interface for Geordi's VISOR, Data nods in acknowledgment to Geordi. I find this curious, as Data knows that Geordi can't see him, and unlike a human, Data's nod is not involuntary. Why would he nod deliberately at someone who can't see him? (Of course, the practical response to this is that Brent Spiner does not benefit from Data's detachment, and is himself likely to have nodded subconsciously.) – Nmsmith 22:51, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Same reason he blinks, scratches his ear, etc. Data has algorithms and such that govern his behavior, and are designed to mimic Human behavior. In addition, he probably has added imperfections to them that allow for things like "nodding" in this instance, since that is what a normal person would do. --OuroborosCobra talk 22:58, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Goofs[]

There's a goof in this episode. When Geordi walks into the room containing the dead crewmen, a barrel rolls across the bottom of the screen and one of the dead crew can be seen placing her head upon it. 173.213.212.234 21:41, September 11, 2015 (UTC)

We generally do not note "goofs"; please see the nitpick policy. 31dot (talk) 22:22, September 11, 2015 (UTC)

Medical Log SD 47215.7 references[]

The reference section includes a section with references from what, from clicking through on some, is apparently an unused okudagram suspected to possibly have been prepared for this episode. For starters, the section title should make clear that this are cut references, not canon. But more importantly, can that section really be on this page if we're not even sure the okudagram was made for this episode?
I'm strongly inclined to remove the whole section, but then, this is the only link to many of those pages, so I'm really hoping someone knows of a better solution. -- Capricorn (talk) 14:02, May 26, 2018 (UTC)

I've removed it. Below is the section as was: -- Capricorn (talk) 16:43, June 13, 2018 (UTC)
