Long time listener, first time caller, love the show.
Maybe my favorite thing about this episode–and I love this episode–is that Ron Moore took a throwaway detail from the 2nd season’s Samaritan Snare, which is not a very good episode at all, and spun gold from it. That’s where the story about the bar fight came from, and specifically the detail about laughing. Wesley asks why Picard laughed, and his answer (as I recall) was, “I don’t know.” (I could go back and watch to get the full dialogue, but…Pakleds…blerg…)
