That episode had an interesting premise but I hated the interactions between Will and Thomas.
The nerve of cmd. Riker using his rank to bully Thomas.
And in the end, Will is like: “I have all our stuff, but here, I’ll give you one item. Have a nice life.”
It was absurd.
Yeah, if I was in the same situation we’d divvy our stuff up between us. I wouldn’t want other me to be unhappy, they’d be my closest family after all!
Yeah same here. Having a transporter copy would be like having a freaky space magic twin. I’d probably start by watching the parent trap and conspiring to play subtle pranks on Worf or Jeordi. Then end up seeing if Troi or Beverly would be down with some double trouble action.
Troi
orand Beverly
I would hide their existence from everyone and split going to work between us. Then I’d learn how to recreate the process and make a bunch more clones.
The characters seem to act enlightened until something personally impacts them, unless it’s one that starts off with issues. Maybe they just had poor counciling sessions.
This is the ep that made me really dislike Riker.
Sheesh Frakes, there was no barber on staff to help you line up that beard better?
It’s been a long time since I watched this one. Do they explain why Thomas has a beard?
Do they explain why a hirsute adult man who’s been living alone for nearly a decade has a beard?
No.
