Picardigan Has Moved

Because of feedback I've received about difficulty commenting, and because I did a bit of comparison research, I have moved Put On Your Picardigan to Wordpress. I know it hasn't even been here very long, but it seemed smarter to do it before it gets really big and unwieldy. A major reason for the move is that threaded comments are possible on Wordpress.

All the old posts have been moved there, and this is the last that will appear here.

If you have been kind enough to post a link to Picardigan on your own site, please adjust it to reflect the change. Thank you! I hope you'll enjoy the blog at its new home.

Whenever he talks about how he's responsible for Wesley's training, that number is exactly how I'm going to imagine it. And if I have to imagine Wesley is a girl in disguise as a boy, well, that actually just adds to the fun.

Someone did use this idea with Worf, I am happy to report:





I never really realised how much people do tai chi in TNG until now.

Tng Episode 1.13: Datalore

In which the crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

Memory Alpha says: Enterprise explores Data's home planet, Omicron Theta. They find his brother, and the dark secret he carries. (Please click the Memory Alpha link for detailed information.)

My Review

Of course I'll have a lot to say about this one, because it's the first really Data-centric episode, and to me TNG is a show about Data. It also introduces one of my favourite characters, and one I feel is sadly underused, Data's villainous older brother Lore. In the early planning stages, the new android was going to be female (a gynoid, really) and a love interest for Data (so, um, presumably not his sister, although I suppose if you want to be really rational about it it's not exactly incest if there's no DNA or shared experience of a familial relationship involved) but Brent Spiner suggested the ol' evil twin routine.
