Maybe just a subconscious response given what happened last time he ran the program

Picard going to the holodeck just to rest and absorb another world's ambiance is very relatable. I do the same in GTA and Red Dead 2.

Give us the next episode damnit! It's a personal favorite and I am excited to watch along with you guys.

This had some cringe and was weird. And yet still fun. Not the best trek but not the worst and still somewhat fun.

According to trek mytholgoy, Klingons have two penises, so that would have been xomething with Worf

This is one of those episodes that is... on paper, it's not very good at all. But it's elevated by the performances and the energy that guest stars can bring. Majel Barrett is just fantastic whenever she appears, and even if this was not a great plot for her, she just has so much spark and fun that she brings that you end up kindof enjoying it even if the episode doesn't really mean anything.

Yes they did a little, but I think they got the idea after the conversation in the ready room.

Yes I know they're not together now. Just speaking casually. But I assume he met Lwaxana back when they were together.

Funny that the guys are getting an almost more "pure" viewing experience than we did back in the day. While I don't think we knew episode titles in advance (unless TV Guide listed them?), any guest star appearance would be instantly spoiled by episode previews. TV still has these today, I guess, but with streaming there's not much point to them. Though they still exist.

To me it always felt like an episode without an "A" plot.

*ex-girlfriend. They haven't been a couple since they parted before serving on the Enterprise. Riker chose his career over her. They are just close friends now, no porking.

10:35 She couldn't read their thoughts until they woke up. So, she didn't know right away. Once they were awake, though, she could tell their plans, and was genuinely surprised in the Transporter Room that they were still roaming free. She apparently didn't stop to think that she's the only one aboard who could sense their thoughts.

You guys liked this more than I expected. I figured you guys wouldn't like this episode, 'coz too weird and Lwaxana is too much.

Sometimes you need an episode that has an inconsequential plot but has enough laughs to carry it. It's basically everything Outrageous Okona wasn't. The humor in that all flopped I feel, but Manhunt it all worked.

In story, Picard should have had nothing to fear from Dixon Hill's adversaries because the Holodeck failsafes would prevent him from being hurt (unless he removed the failsafes). He just wanted to kick back and relax, away from work and Troi's mom, without any major interruptions.

I love the theorizing about future Lwanana episodes. Can't wait to see your reaction if theories pan out or not in the future.

I always love how the only person on the whole ship amused by her is Riker. Great way to show his personality. You'd think you wouldn't like the overbearing mother of your girlfriend, but he has a twisted kind of sense of humor. He clearly enjoys Picard's discomfort.

I don't think she could read the aliens' minds until they were awake. Which is probably why they came up with the hibernation idea to begin with.

I love how Picard fixes his coat collar. Very similar to Kirk’s away team jacket in Wrath of Khan.
