Why would Picard be talking to Kiernan Macduff like he's a therapist?
It implies Picard is under Kiernan's control.

Beginning of episode:

Totally ridiculous.  Intuition is *not* critical thinking, analytical thinking.
She *can't* be the type of player who is a mastermind at chess without
having a radically different personality.

And htis has nothign to do with her being female, although this kind of
personality (hers) is somwhat more prevalent in females than in males, or
at least more generally able to be expressed freely in females.  


iOk, since I'm on a female kick:  that gymnast is hot.


Riker and Ro: I love their relationship.  The love/hate thing has the
greatest sexual tension.

This is a very interesting episode:  memory loss, alternate personalities ...

Fascinating, fascinating stuff.  Amnesia ... do you know what it's like
to experience this stuff?  To be like in _The Game_, to wake up in a
sealed box in Mexico?  (in essence)  To have no idea who you are, how
you got there?

"... our identities have somehow been erased, or suppressed."

Whoever wrote this knows something about this stuff, too.

That first pan-by of Macduff is hilarious.

It's interesting how the most unassuming man is Captain.

Really, though, this is one of the most implausible episodes.
The idea that Macduff would infiltrate the computers, rewrite
records to add his roster to the crew - all this stechnology,
all this power, and he couldn't just hypnotize them to do his
bidding -- it's a lot of writing to achieve what are very
small means.  it's one of those Twilight Zone epsiodes.
