This article could use more fleshing out overall. -- Renegade54 20:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Telepathy-blocking drug?
Does anyone remember the name of the drug Diana used in this episode? Something to block her telepathic capabilities. --89.1.98.179 22:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Crusher doesn't say; she offers something to help her relax, and then later suggests blocking her telepathic capabilities by inducing coma.

Genocide in the Federation
What exactly does Picard mean when he tells the Dowd Kevin that they have no law to fit his crime? Is it because they are another species, unknown to and outside the Federation and perhaps the prime directive might apply in some way? Someone once used this to "demonstrate" that it isn't illegal to commit genocide by federation law. Well, of course it is! If a renegade Vulcan ship had destroyed the planet and Kevin obliterated all Vulcans, certainly they would bring charges against him.
On a side note, he didn't have to destroy the Husnock, or even that one ship, couldn't he have created a shield around the planet, thrown it a million light years away, or made it's weapons disappear?
I hope if there is another series they explore exactly what this means to the galaxy (if the Husnock are from it.)Killing the entire race would leave buildings and perhaps hundreds or thousands or star systems behind, where are they? Wonder if they'll ever find a vast deserted empire somewhere. 68.189.242.109 21:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- I suspect Picard meant that they didn't have any means to judge a being of such immense power that it could destroy an entire civilisation in a crime of passion.
- The power of Kevin raises many further questions: why couldn't he simply recreate the whole civilisation; why couldn't he have changed them to be less hostile; why couldn't he have provided an illusion that the planet didn't even exist...
- I hate to say it, but this episode seems to be one of the least coherent.

- P.S. Correct species name is Douwd.

Douwd = Q?
Are the Douwd mentioned in any other episode? They seem essentially the same as Q.

odd section
Picard theorizes that Troi's music stems from the desirability of Rishon and Kevin's unwillingness to leave.
eh? desirability. I don't understand this statement. --87.114.0.39 00:54, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Edited to make more sense, but I'm still not sure what the original author was getting at Wheatleya 15:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
