• the Edo God communicated with a full illumination of their vessel. Picard took this as a "yes" and subsequently removed the colony.

In the Episode, as I've seen it and as described in the episode page, the Edo God rather communicates by vanishing and there is no indication whatsoever of Picard "subsequently removing the colony." Epigraphy? Wrong speculation? This needs to be fixed. Leonard James Akaar 02:08, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Picard said he would remove the colony if signaled so, and then explicitly said he took the vanishing as a signal. Seems pretty unambiguous. -- Capricorn (talk) 23:36, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
