Lou Piniella's Last Thoughts on the Playoffs
I read the Sun-Times writeup on an interview with Lou Piniella in yesterday's paper and thought it was worthy of TCR discussion.
''The two things that I take from the postseason are that I didn't get a chance to pitch [Ted] Lilly, and he was such an integral part of us getting there.."
Here's my translation of Lou's comment #1:
1) The Ted Lilly Fan Club Super Computer predicted this.
2) Lou prefers Jason Marquis to Jake Peavy or Rich Harden because the latter two makes it tougher to pitch Ted Lilly in the playoffs.
3) You should have seen Z's reaction when (Lou) told him Dempster was pitching game one and Ted Lilly was pitching game two vs LA.
And Lou's comment #2: "And, two, we've just got to figure out a way to score more runs in the postseason."
...then Lou says: Raul Ibanez is the type of professional hitter "that we are alluding to".
1) I'm batting Raul 4th.
2) Defense? We don't need no stinkin' defense.
3) Is there a Raul Ibanez Fan Club Computer I can check with?
Re: Lou Piniella's Last Thoughts on the Playoffs
Hey Lou, how about putting your own players in the best possible position to succeed? Like not pulling your ace when he's pitching well and selecting good matchups for your struggling "professional" left-handed hitting outfielder.
It seems to work for Bob Melvin and Joe Torre.
Re: Lou Piniella's Last Thoughts on the Playoffs
TLFC is just thankful for the fact that, in 2010 or 2011, we will have perfected our cloning machine which will allow the Cubs to trot out a starting five rotation of Ted Lillys.
Our 2008 Playoff Mantra, "Get the Ball to Ted" (GTBTT) will then become a distant memory and Cub faithful can bask in the glory of Lillyhammers five days a week.
Re: Lou Piniella's Last Thoughts on the Playoffs
Are you out of your dual core processor? If we trotted out a rotation like that, we would lose 30 games in april, then proceed to win 100 games on the season.
Re: Lou Piniella's Last Thoughts on the Playoffs
I haven't heard the Lillyhammer pun before, that was well done. Is it a TLFC creation?

Re: Lou Piniella's Last Thoughts on the Playoffs
Everyone knows there is no such a thing as a sanity clause.
speaking of delusions of grandeur
from Rotoworld
"FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports that the Dodgers have backed off their pursuit of Jack Wilson after the Pirates asked for Chin-Lung Hu, Delwyn Young and a third player in return."
good luck with that Pirates...
Re: speaking of delusions of grandeur
Yeah I saw that, couldn't figure out what they were thinking. Maybe they are thinking what they got for Bay is the standard price for an established major leaguer, no matter how mediocre he is.
Re: speaking of delusions of grandeur
Maybe that was a typo. Sounds like a good deal for HACK Wilson.

Cuzzi has long been known as having the biggest strike zone among all umpires.
AZ Phil, give me a scouting report on Chris Pieters since he has become a 1B/OF.
I think it's probably hard to adjust to an ump's zone mid-game, as least for hitters. Pitchers can locate to an ump's zone, but hitters have minimal time to react.
But, whatever. Umps are going to miss calls. Let's beat up on the non-Lackey starters.
Watched a little of Mets-Dodgers.
Jason deGrom -- oh, my.
Cubs 3-4-5 hitters are 0-21 so far in the post-season.
Let's change that in a big effin' way tomorrow, boys.
Considering how players reacted it seemed pretty accurate high and wide (to righties), but not so accurate low and in. I thought the strike zone by the ump was awful, but it was consistent and the Cubs never adjusted.
Rizzo and Bryant need to have good at bats. They are really looking outclassed in these two games.
that game sounds fun as hell.
I was just wondering the same thing. I'd rather not see it at all. If it's inaccurate, it's a bad viewer experience. If it's accurate, it shows some shitty calling by the umpire.
TBS' K Zone seems to be more harsh than the others.
I wonder if MLB will ask the networks to stop using them. They just make the umps, and the game, look bad, and it only pisses off the fans.
"Strop vs. Cardinals." Seen the movie. Hated it.
Not all that disappointed -- I didn't think they would beat Lackey in Game 1. Need to get the bats going against the guys with less experience -- and they hit Wacha pretty good.
Rizzo has been slumping the last couple weeks of the season. Very disappointed it has continued during his penultimate moment of his career to date.
Really doesn't matter, but I was surprised to see Lester pulled and Strop pulled in. Should of left Lester in. oy.
Sweet merciful fuck, I hate the Cardinals.
*flips table*
Really doesn't matter, but I was surprised to see Lester out for the 8th. Down 1-0, at 100 pitches, seemed better to give a very fresh bullpen a little work.
Oh well...Throw away game, although in a 5 game series there is no luxury afforded to do that.

In preparation for the 2015 tax filing season, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has released a fact sheet detailing information North Carolina tax filers need to know as they prepare to file their federal returns.
This tax season marks the first time individuals and families in North Carolina will be asked to provide basic information regarding their health insurance on their tax returns. Consumers will have questions about this new process and the Administration is committed to providing the information and tools tax filers need to understand the new requirements.
In the coming weeks, the administration will provide additional resources to help consumers prepare for tax filing season, including online tools to help individuals connect with local tax preparation services and determine if they are eligible for an exemption.

Google has announced a pair of new Nexus Phones -- let's see how the new Nexus 6P compares to other superphones.
LG just unveiled its latest big-screen flagship smartphone -- let's see how it stacks up against its plus-size rivals.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 5 is excellent overall, and the only phone to buy if you want to write by hand. However, you'll pay a huge premium for a modest upgrade from last year's model, and less pricey competitors will satisfy many.
Worldly looks and top-notch specs make the impressive, metal Samsung Galaxy S6 the Android phone to beat for 2015.
We see which phone takes better shots in low-light -- the iPhone 6S Plus, the Samsung Galaxy S6 or the older iPhone 6.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2's brilliant screen, plentiful storage capacity and slender build make it a great tablet for everyday use at home or on the go.
Buy the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ if you love the idea of a wraparound screen; otherwise, you'll be able to find less expensive phones that do nearly as much.
One of Verizon and MetroPCS' least-expensive phones, the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime makes a decent entry-level choice, but it still isn't as good as the competition.
We take the iPhone 6S Plus's camera around sunny West London to see how its outdoor shots compare to those of the iPhone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6.
Thanks to Apple's new iPhones, the next wave of super-high-def video won't flow from Hollywood or pro sports leagues. It will bubble up from people like you.

Open houses held for new kidney dialysis centers
Story By: Brigitte Coles
Originally Published on: 5/16/2014
DaVita Inc., a leading provider of kidney care services, hosted open houses this week to celebrate the opening of brand new centers in Galion and Ontario.
The open houses were held at Galion DaVita Dialysis, 865 Harding Way West, Galion and Mid Ohio DaVita Dialysis, 2148 West 4th St., Ontario.
The open houses provided an opportunity for the community to tour the center, interact with dialysis care specialists and receive educational materials about kidney disease care and to raise awareness of a disease that is on the rise that affects more than 20 million Americans.
As of March 31, DaVita Kidney Care operated or provided administrative services at more than 2,098 outpatient dialysis centers located in the U.S. serving approximately 165,000 patients.
The company also operated 75 outpatient dialysis centers located in 10 countries outside the United States.

Nationals lose game, still win series
Nationals lose game, still win series
SAN FRANCISCO — The Washington Nationals left San Francisco feeling pretty good about themselves despite enduring their worst loss in more than a month.
That's because the Nationals, who lost Thursday's game 7-1 to the Giants, won the first three games of the series against the team with the best record in baseball.
"It's gratifying to play as well as we did in the first three," Washington manager Matt Williams said. "Today it kind of unraveled on us. To take three of four from these guys is pretty good."

Toilet etiquette, the household equivalent of guerrilla warfare.
User Xavier88 says: I accidentally dropped my coffee pot while cleaning it and the handle broke. My family, being hooked on the liquid, would not forgive me for leaving them without it. A couple of ideas came to my mind, but some of them got in the way until I came across these. Ever since then, nobody has noticed the fix.
Singapore's train system was disrupted last week when some claws providing power and support to the third rail detached. The company in charge, SMRT, acted swiftly to fix the problem, by securing the claws with zip ties. Obviously this raised some eyebrows and the company is now under investigation.

I was part of a small group who had been travelling round morocco for 2 weeks and Marrakech was our final stop, our guide had booked us in this riad through an agent at the last minute. From the moment we arrived there was a problem with the booking as we had booked single rooms (and they were insisted we all squeezed in and shared) on top of that our reservation had been paid for prior to our arrival and the guy in charge was insistent that nothing had been paid! Once we were finally shown to our room (which was decorated quite nicely) we came back downstairs to move our luggage and a snake appeared from the tree in the courtyard !! Other riads I have stayed at in Marrakech have either been ran by a family or a couple - the guy who ran this riad la caleche really could give a hoot and we experienced the door & phone ringing through out the night were guests had been locked out (while he slept in the patio double glazed courtyard!) Even a simple task like ordering a cab in the morning was painful to get to the airport, were we nearly missed our flight (as again the cab cost had been covered with guide) but mysteriously they didn't know anything about that and we had to cover the cost ourselves and wake him up while he was sleeping. All in all I've no idea why anyone would want to stay here, it may look nice but there's a lot to be said for honesty & being made to feel welcome (which didn't apply to this riad) it left a real bitter taste on what had been up till then a really enjoyable holiday

I'm An Assistant Manager For A Local Little Retail Business... Married My College Sweetheart April 5, 2013... I'm 100% A Book Nerd I Absolutely Love Audible & Love I Can Take It Anywhere I Go...
"Pride & Prejudice An Awesome Read!"
Love How Emma Acted Out Each Parts!
No Need To Rename It.
I hardly have time to read an actual book. Being able to work and clean house while listening to a book has been wonderful I enjoyed the old time setting of the book an how Emma Messenger Brings the book to life it's quiet wonderful.
Listening and reading a book is the best way to read a book!!!
"Awesome Narrator, and I love this book!!!"
Yes, love this book narrator is very good, and the price is awesome.
Reading Darcy's letter.
Darcy and Lizzy's encounter after he first proposed at his house.
True love is deeper than his pride and her prejudice.
Every women should read this book, and every man should learn from it.
"Not my kind of book"
I have heard so much about Jane Austen, quite a number of my friends would cite her as a favorite author so with those recommendations I have tried many times to read the actual book. I have never made it more than a few chapters in. So I thought I'd try an audiobook to see if hearing someone else read it would do more to captivate me...no!
The performance is dull...Well half dull. The female roles are fine they sound warm and have some depth but when the author reads in a male characters voice she sounds harsh and very off putting, enough so that I want to turn the audiobook off.
Disliking the performances makes the source material that much more boring.
"Bravo! A classic well read"
So glad I purchased this title! I am 50 years old and had not read Pride and Prejudice. So many times I started to read the copy that I bought years ago but just couldn't get into it.
I hoped that listening to this classic would do it. I am happy to say that I enjoyed it whole heartedly! I finally "get it" and look forward to listening to other Jane Austin works
I'm open to any book as long as it is true to itself.
"Can watch, read and listen to this anytime"
This is such an excellent story that I have read, watched and now listened to so many times, but I never tire of this story. It is simply a classic that I love.
"great performance"
loved it. the performance was amazing. I love her Mrs Bennet she really captures the characters. epic love story
"High pitched mother voice"
I really enjoyed the story, but the narrators version of the mother's voice gave me a headache. Very high pitched louder than the others and gave me a headache. Took me a few different sitting to get through this just because I couldn't stand the mother voice.
"What a great story"
Wonderful book and a lovely performance :) it was great listening to this while driving and cleaning up the house.
"My favourite"
The narration. The narrator was able too do several different voices.
Since it is my favourite just about all of it. Mostly scenes between Darcy and Elizabeth.
The meeting of Darcy and Elizabeth at Pemberly.
A classic!
"Narration sometimes odd"
I obviously love this story, but I found there were times that the narrator (who is generally good) reads sentences so that it was a little boring -- when the narration wasn't a character speaking, there were times (but certainly not the bulk of the reading) that it sounded rote without much thought or feeling for what was being said. It got a little distracting, but wasn't as critical since I am well acquainted with the story. The variation of character voices is good, but the

When I wake up tomorrow morning, it will be my 24th wedding anniversary. Yikes! I don't know how we even got old enough to become people who have been married for dozens of years, but here we are. Old, married people who say things like "let's eat at a different restaurant, this one's too loud" and "kids these days" and "How is it 9:00 already? Is it too early to go to bed?"
When we said our vows waaaaaaaaaay back in 1991 (that was before iPhones, children), we had no idea what adventures we had ahead. We were young and in love and we really thought we had it all figured out (probably because there was no Pinterest to tell us what "it all" looked like- with a chalkboard label, distressed, set against a burlap and chevron background, and photographed using an earlybird filter).
The good news is that, though we were wrong about pretty much everything in those days (including, but not limited to, the his-and-her fanny packs we bought especially for our honeymoon trip. that we took to Florida. In August.), we actually made a brilliant decision to say "I do" that day. Turns out, God is great at making beautiful things out of all sorts of circumstances, and in this particular scenario, God did a water-into-wine sort of miracle when he took the choices we made and turned them around to a wonderful, enduring, solid marriage.
I'm interrupting this post because J just yelled out to me from the other room, where he's steadfastly working on his master's thesis, to say that he can tell I'm writing something fun because he can hear me "typing happily" from his office. Apparently, there's a difference from the way I type when I'm doing homework. The man gets me, I tell you.
Anyhoo, what I wanted to say was this about all of that: Time is flying by, my friends. Our son is the same age as the man who put a ring on my finger 24 years ago. Our daughters recently started their junior year of high school- we're already touring college dorms. This part of life is full of BIG moments and FAST changes. It's hard to keep up sometimes.
More and more often, I think about the fact that before I know it, we'll be facing that time when it's just me, the man, and the dog in this once-too-small-but-soon-too-big house. It'll be then when we get to find out if we spent enough time along the way investing in our marriage, solidifying our relationship as husband and wife outside of our roles as mom and dad. Did we do what we set out to do as kids without a clue all those years ago? Did we celebrate our anniversaries as victories? Did we take time out for one another? Did we put aside the things that could divide us?
Thankfully, I don't have to worry about those questions too long. The best thing about being part of a marriage that statistically should never have lasted is that I never have had an excuse to think that it worked because I made all the right choices. Instead, I get to rest in God, who is faithful to provide me with exactly the right guidance: a nudge to apologize when I'm wrong, a poke to behave well when I'm right, a prompt to think of my husband's needs when I'd rather think of my own. The same God who loved us through the early days of our marriage still loves us, still cares for us, and will still be there as we learn to navigate the days yet to come. I have every reason to believe that, should we be allowed more days on this earth, there will be many more posts like these, celebrating a love that beat the odds by the grace of God.
*high five, J. here's to dozens more*
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Romans 8:28
ps: if you're interested, here are the posts from anniversaries past (even though I somehow missed our 23rd!):

THE FRESH AIR FUND; A Fund Provides a Summer Escape
By ADAM GERSHENSON
Published: May 2, 1999
When summer approaches and New York City's asphalt starts to sizzle, children are as eager as anyone else to escape to a place where they can bike, run and swim in the sunshine.
That is why the Fresh Air Fund, a nonprofit agency, has provided free summer vacations in rural areas for poor children in New York since 1877.
''We take the kids to places where they can play in parks, where they don't have to worry about people shooting up or shooting each other,'' said Jenny Morgenthau, the executive director of the fund.
This summer, thanks to donations from 50,000 New Yorkers, 3,000 children will go to Fresh Air camps upstate, and 6,000 more will stay with host families in suburbs and towns stretching from Virginia to Canada. The fund is seeking more host families so it can provide vacations for even more children.
Earlier this week, a handful of children got a head start on their adventures. After piling into Bryant Park on a sunny afternoon, they wrestled, sang and played patty-cake together. They also talked about their expectations for their vacations, which will begin June 29, the day after the public school year ends, and run through Aug. 6.
Ramel Beach, a 10-year-old from Manhattan who will be returning to Rushville, N.Y., where he stayed last summer, said he could not wait to go swimming.
''I know the doggie paddle, the jellyfish float, the dive and the swim on top like this,'' said Ramel, as he windmilled his arms through the air in an imitation of the crawl.
Ramel also said that while on vacation last summer, he had seen several animals he had never seen before. But not all of the encounters were pleasurable. One day, as he was about to dive into the local pool, a skunk crept in ahead of him.
''The whole place was stinking,'' Ramel said. But the next day, he said, the pool had been cleaned and became cool and refreshing once again.
Most of the children at Bryant Park said that swimming was their favorite summer activity. Several said it was a lot more fun than their aquatic exploits in the city, which consisted mainly of dumping bottled water on their heads, or running through water spouting from open fire hydrants.
Some, like Justin Poveda, 7, said they were looking forward to playing miniature golf. Several said they were eager to fish, ride roller coasters and visit water parks.
When asked what they would be doing if they were at home in Manhattan during the summer months, the youngsters simply shrugged.
''There are so few recreational opportunities for poor kids,'' Ms. Morgenthau said. ''The fund lets the kids be kids.''
The children are not the only ones who benefit from the fund. Many host families welcome children back year after year.
''We're empty nesters, and our kids have all grown and gone,'' said Nancy Neerbasch of Rochester, who has played host to children for more than 20 years. ''These kids bring laughter and fun, and remind us of when our children were young.''
Jessica Poveda, 9, Justin's sister, said the fund also helped her mother.
''I get on her nerves when I'm home all the time,'' Jessica said. ''But when I go away, and come back, she always gives me a big hug.''
Still, the fund's most obvious beneficiaries are the children, who are selected by 60 social service agencies serving low-income neighborhoods throughout New York City.
This week at the park, the results of a little sunshine were on display. Semaj Horry, 10, began the afternoon somewhat subdued, drawing pictures with crayons in the fund's offices on the Avenue of the Americas, between 39th and 40th Streets.
But as Semaj put on his derby and buttoned up his Nehru jacket to walk to the park, he became visibly excited. He could hardly wait to cross the street and reach the open vistas of the park.
Semaj bounded up the stairs leading to the park, and when he reached the top step, he yanked off his hat, spread his arms wide and shouted into the air, ''I'm the king of the world!''
Tax-deductible contributions may be sent to the Fresh Air Fund, 1040 Avenue of the Americas, New York, N.Y. 10018.

Atalanta are said to be interested in bringing Juventus legend David Trezeguet back to Serie A.
The Bergamo club are keen to net a goalscorer who can help them survive the drop, especially after being handed a six-point penalty this week as a result of the betting probe.
The French veteran is available on a free transfer after he rescinded his contract with Spanish club Hercules earlier this summer.
Trezeguet, 33, scored 171 goals for Juventus in 318 games before leaving the Turin giants a year ago.
Atalanta are also interested in taking Lazio striker Libor Kozak on loan, while Torino's Rolando Bianchi is considered as too expensive.

From Staff and Wire ReportsThe Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets opened the season Saturday night in front of a nationally televised ESPN audience with a stunning 23-14 victory on the road against Auburn. Georgia Tech's victory put an end to Auburn's 15-game winning streak, the third longest in the nation. Tech rolled up 313 yards of total offense and intercepted Auburn quarterback Brandon Cox four times in the second half en route to the upset. It's Tech's second victory in three years against Auburn. The Yellow Jackets also opened the season in 2003 with a win over the Tigers. "It was not a surprise," Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey told the Associated Press "I think our guys fully expected to win the ballgame. I told them, 'We shouldn't act like giddy school kids to win this game."' Several players with ties to the Southern Crescent contributed to the win for the Yellow Jackets. Former Lovejoy running back Tashard Choice, who earned Southern Crescent Offensive Player of the Year honors while playing for the Wildcats, backed up P.J. Daniels and gained 15 yards on four attempts. Choice began his career at Oklahoma before deciding to move closer to home for his final three seasons of eligibility. On the defensive side, former Jonesboro standout Jamal Lewis played a key role in the Tech secondary, especially in the fourth quarter. Lewis finished the game with five tackles. Darrell Robertson, who was Lewis' high school teammate at Jonesboro, had one tackle in Saturday's season opener. Tech begins its ACC schedule next week at home against North Carolina.

Jammer's Review
Star Trek: The Next Generation
"Thine Own Self"
Air date: 2/14/1994
Teleplay by Ronald D. Moore
Story by Christopher Hatton
Directed by Winrich Kolbe
Review by Jamahl Epsicokhan
Data, suffering from memory loss because of a power surge, walks into a village on a pre-industrial world whose inhabitants find him perplexing. He doesn't know who he is or where he came from, or even that he is an android. He's befriended by a local man whose daughter names him "Jayden" so arbitrarily that I decided to look up the meaning of the name on Wikipedia, which mostly informs me that Jayden became a popular name in America starting around 1994. Coincidence? The Wikipedia entry even mentions this episode, though I'm as likely to chalk that up to Wikipedia writers being disproportionately composed of Trek nerds as any other reason.
If I'm spinning my wheels talking about Data's temporary name, it's because I have little to say about "Thine Own Self," which is inoffensive but relentlessly nondescript. Here's the tale of an android who doesn't know who he is but has Data's unshakable power of reasoning and finds himself among people with far inferior knowledge. (Data is especially skeptical of the local teacher's science class, and for good reason.) These people find his complexion and eyes strange. They think he is an "ice man." They are freaked out when he demonstrates astounding feats of strength. Naturally, this society (that we see) is made up of one isolated village in keeping with the reliable Trek cliche. By this point in TNG's run, it seems as if we've seen every possible permutation of the isolated alien village/society.
There are some stakes, albeit slight ones. It turns out Data has been unwittingly carrying radioactive metal and has poisoned the entire town. (Apparently, he doesn't know what the word "radioactive" means, which is written on the metal case he's carrying, yet knows what all other words mean.) When two villagers looking for justice for this cursed illness come after him with, literally, torches and pitchforks — ripping off the side of his face and revealing an array of circuits — they think he's a monster. So Data must cure the town before the suspicious townspeople kill him. If this sounds more exciting than the episode actually is, well, yeah. I'm not saying Trek has to be new and exciting every time, and I will always love TNG, but this is one of many stories that betrays the signs of a season (and series) running out of gas.
The out-of-left-field B-story involves Troi deciding to take the commander's test (inspired by Crusher's shifts commanding the night watch) in order to stretch her ambitions beyond her job as ship's counselor. While the intentions here are okay, this is completely forced and unrealistic, and Troi frankly comes across as immature and unprofessional when she all but throws a tantrum when Riker won't tell her why she keeps failing the crisis simulation exam. (She eventually realizes her failure is because she won't order someone to their death.)
At this point in the series, this feels like the writers — without at all earning it — trying to reinvent a character whose role has for some time felt unimportant compared to the rest of the main characters. The conceit that Troi can earn a commander's rank after studying for a few days and taking some tests only cheapens the whole idea — to say nothing about her openly admitted uncertainty as to whether she could actually order someone to die for real. Early in the episode, Troi cites her disastrous command in "Disaster" as when she first realized she liked the idea of being in command. I would've flunked her on that alone.

Oh and the actress who plays the village teacher/healer is cool.
Oh, and Troi being a commander who OUTRANKS DATA for the next eight years? Just ridiculous.
The 'b' story was just filler, I agree with that
I also dig it as the only episode where Picard only shows up at the very end for one line...he was busy at the time, I gather.
Boy, you said a mouthful! Imagine if, before each season of TNG, the writers had developed arcs for the characters, which would've been addressed whenever they needed a b-plot or filler. Strangely, Worf was the only one who got any: his discommendation, his relationship with his son, and (around these episodes) his fling with Troi. Wesley's coming of age counts too. Other character arcs never lasted longer than one episode -- which is why Troi's sudden growth here is shocking by comparison.
Didn't anyone else like Riker talking through his trombone? I always laugh.
Imagine what it must be like to work in an organisation like Starfleet.
Exhibit A: Lt Commander Data, some 26 years of exemplary service. Close to eternity in the same rank.
Exhibit B: Counselor Troi, perhaps 12 years of service as a PSYCHOLOGIST. Outranks Exhibit A and is above him in chain of command.
In what kind of serious and professional semi-military organisation, except in some medieval or early modern setting, is this even remotely possible?
How come Trek never went the opposite route? Why didn't, let's see, Worf, one day decide he wanted to be a doctor? He would get a crash course over a couple of days, pass a test and voila, dr Worf, chief of medical staff.
Why the hell is Academy even needed if every doctor and psychologist in the galaxy can ride their own personal Death Star?
Excuse my nerdy rant, I had to get that off my chest.
But I'll just tip my hat to the rest of you who have already said it well (esp Paul M).
The only good thing about it is that it contrasts so sharply with the A-story, emphasising Data's overall superiority as a character and actor.
As for Troi and her story, yes it's goofy to jam it into a single episode -- or more correctly a fraction of an episode. Realistically, if they did it at all, it should have been spread throughout the season or several seasons, something like Nog's Starfleet career in DS9. Pretty ridiculous that one of the least qualified crewmembers could earn a promotion to commander in a single episode. I always thought Deanna shouldn't have been a Starfleet officer at all, especially since she didn't wear a uniform for much of the series. Oh well...
Ignorance, willful or no, is a denial of reason. One reason I like the village teacher so much is that she is the epitome of skeptical thinking. She has her ideas that she teaches but is perfectly open to changing her ideas if new evidence is presented that contradicts her views.
True zealots don't do that--they cling to their Bible or Quran or whatever and reinterpret verses to suit their own prejudices. The Bible says it is a sin to have gay sex in the chapter right before it says you can't plant your fields to the edge--but how many Christian farmers think the first should be interpreted literally and the second metaphorically? (Leviticus 18:22 & 19:9)
Although the remedy is education, I believe, are there some people who are simply addicted to their dogma and incapable of giving up their dearly-held beliefs?
I don't think this episode was touching on religion. I think this is more xenophobia. They didn't go trying to kill Data because of religion. They did so because he was an unknown outsider who showed up at the same time as the problem. Contrast this with Who Watches The Watchers where Liko's insistance on harming Troi was based on religious belief (I actually DON'T consider Liko to be a to be a "stubborn billain who won't listen to reason for no good reason" for that reason.
The moment where Gia talks about her mother having gone to a place where there is no sickness and everyone is always nice to each other, etc., and she asks "Jayden" if he believes such a place, and Data looks out to the stars and says he does, kind of touches on the problems with the episode, but also possibly what it might "really" be about. Somehow, the 24th century is equated to heaven, because that's just how awesome the 24th century is. That is a little bit annoying, but this story also suggests, somehow, that a better future awaits the people of this planet, too. The schoolteacher pointed out that there has already been some progress, moving away from describing Data in purely religious terms and into (pseudo)scientific ones. Maybe the episode is best understood as having Data come back to this village as a refugee from the planet's "future" (which presumably is going to be like 24th century humanity) who brings with him both the enlightened scientific and ethical philosophy of "the future" and the dangers that it represents. The villagers are poisoned by the radiation he brings with him, since they are unprepared for it. Eventually "Jayden" has to sacrifice himself in order to undo the damage that his presence has done, but his impact on the people of the village, in scientific reasoning (the schoolteacher) and in friendship and heroism (Gia) is still felt. Data remains unaware of this experience because in some respects the Jayden story does not really tie into Data's story, because it is separate from the future -- "Jayden" really does die when he risks his life to save the villagers from the dangers he has brought with him, and that death has to mean something, and does, since Jayden ended up being something like a ghost, sweeping in and out of the village and in and out of existence for a very short time.
I don't feel like we learn anything about Data here, so that some of the emotional beats of the story don't seem to matter. When Data's face is scratched off and he finds that he is not an iceman and may well be a monster, it is important to the story that Jayden, Data's amnesiac villager-identity, *chooses* to believe that he is still a good person, capable of saving lives, and willing to die to do so. But somehow there wasn't really any doubt that Data would do that, is there? The crisis relies at least a bit on Jayden wondering if he's really a monster, and the story sort of plays that, but *we* know so clearly that Data/Jayden is not a monster, and Jayden responds to it by just continuing to be Data without skipping a beat, that it's hard to feel any deep pain at the story. This episode feels very thin, and the main story is one that might have worked if it were a 20-minute story rather than a 40-minute one.
The Troi subplot ultimately bothers me for the reasons others have discussed. It should not be that easy to become a full commander, and Troi talks about all this like it's a whim she just had the other day. It would certainly be one thing if she tried to earn her command over a long period of time, but the idea that the only real difficulty Troi would have is in Making the Hard Call feels particularly silly since that is pretty similar to the Kobayashi Maru test for *cadets*. I did like Riker's trombone talk though.
Overall, 2 stars is fair.
Barkon IV is introduced as a planet with a preindustrial civilization. The community Data enters, however, is taking baby steps into something like modernity and perhaps even a scientific revolution. Talur, who is an early scientist and rationalist, says of Data, "I'm sure my grandmother would have called our friend here a demon or spirit or some kind of monster. But current scientific methodology allows us to dismiss such ridiculous superstitions and concentrate on scientific reality." The implication that only two generations ago Data would not be viewed through a "scientific" lens suggests that there is a relatively rapid change in scientific and technological thinking. Talur leans toward the future in this kind of thinking; Skoran the blacksmith leans toward the past. Gia represents the future of the civilization, of course.
So Data enters a village which is poised on the beginnings of a scientific breakthrough, perhaps a Renaissance. And he represents the scientific and technological world encroaching on the village. No one realizes that this is what Data is or represents, including Data himself, because his nature as a technological being is hidden, as is his memory. But on a fundamental level this is what Data brings. What Data brings is a kind of systematic rational thinking which the Barkonians have not yet reached, although Talur is somewhat approaching it and Gia's generation will be even closer. What Data also brings are radioactive materials: a substance associated with the risks and benefits of technological advancement. Radiation poisoning from radioactive materials which have been purified through technological, non-natural means (a line of dialogue from Skoran emphasizes that it'd be impossible for the Barkonians to refine the metals to that level of purity) is a risk of the modern age, not of the preindustrial age. I don't think that Data is "just" a symbol of modernity. He is still Data, a character, after all, and the episode is also explicitly related to Data's sense of self and identity. I think, though, that the townspeople viewing Data as a monster is related to the question of whether scientific progress is inherently destructive.
People are afraid of Data because he is unknown, and that is what he is seen as at first. What no one quite realizes, and only becomes clear to Data himself late in the narrative (and never entirely, because "Jayden" never recovers Data's memories nor does Data ever reintegrate "Jayden's"), is that he is not a general unknown, but specifically the unknown represented by a rational, scientific future. As Data points out, however, they are not wrong to believe that there is a causal relationship between his arrival and the sickness which spreads throughout the town; the Progress, even the benign progress, as represented by Data comes upon the village too quickly to deal with all the dangers that are associated with technological advancement. That the radiation sickness spreads because people are attracted to the shiny new products emphasizes the risk of being seduced by the surface benefits of technological development into ignoring its dangers. But Data, by using his rational scientific mind, eventually identifies the radioactive materials as the problem, finds a cure, and gives these to the village. His willingness to "die" to save the village is somewhat a sacrifice for the fact that he brought the sickness with him.
Frankenstein (in both book and film versions) was a story which warned against the dangers of heedless scientific progress, and so Data-as-Frankenstein's-monster references the villagers' fear of progress. The story even has the radiation nearly kill members of the village and so suggests that there is real validity to warnings about progressing too fast scientifically/technologically. However, it's Trek and it's Data, and Data's rejection of the mantle of monster, and insistence on saving the village at all costs, is a way of showing the best of scientific and technological progress. Data is from the Star Trekkian enlightened future, and this enlightenment remains with him even without his memory, even placed in an unfamiliar environment. Trek is just a tad too positive on the future of technology for my tastes, but I value its emphasis on the value of scientific truth a lot. Things will get better, even though they may seem bad in the interim, if we continue believing in scientific truth rather than superstition.
This is why this exchange happens:
DATA: Where is your mother?
GIA: She died about a year ago. Father says she went to a beautiful place where everything is peaceful and everyone loves each other, and no one ever gets sick. Do you think there's really a place like that?
(Data gazes out at the moon and stars)
DATA: Yes. I do.
Data knows on some deep level that the enlightened future is better, that it is a place of peace and love. "No one ever gets sick" is a bit much, but certainly people don't get sick from run-of-the-mill radiation poisoning on the Enterprise. Data is a refugee from this future sent to reassure Gia to value Talur over Skoran, to look to the future rather than the past for her answers, even though it may hurt her in the interim.
It's worth noting that the Troi story, in which she has to learn that it's necessary to sacrifice officers for the greater good if she'll be in command, is a counterpoint to the portrayal of the enlightened life in the stars as, basically, Gia's heaven. Troi tries to learn everything she can about engineering schematics, believing that if she could only learn all the technical knowledge in the world she would be able to find a way around death. She can't; no one can: death is a part of life, and it should be avoided if possible but must be accepted if it cannot be avoided. Malice and unnecessary suffering born out of ignorance is vastly reduced, but some pain is unavoidable. I think this helps counterbalance the sense that the story may be too uncritical of scientific progress (though I'd prefer a Ron Moore too uncritical of scientific progress over the Ron Moore who advocates ditching all technology).
So, I think my Thine Own Self rating has just been bumped up; though I think the story is still too slow-paced and low-stakes, I think I've gotten a handle on what it is that does work about it. And the Troi subplot has, er, problems. I'd probably give it 2.5 stars now.
What's better, this or Time's Arrow. I'd have to say this, if only because it's refreshingly Twainless.
All the same, the biggest problem here is the business with Troi. It certainly doesn't square with anything we know of Starfleet let alone present-day organizations that one can merely take a test to get a significant promotion. Of course, part of the issue is that Troi's assumption of temporary command way back in "Disaster" never made a whole lot of sense, particularly when it was plain that she lacked anything more than rudimentary understanding of the ship's technical function.
Otherwise, wouldn't the sorts of decisions she'd be expected to make in a command role usually have been preceded by years of experience at lesser ranks than commander? Presumably Riker's command style did not emerge immediately upon becoming a first officer, but was the result of years of experience in a command-track career. Troi has been a psychologist/therapist for her entire career and there's no indication she ever had prior experience in this kind of decision-making. Just silly plotting in an otherwise interesting (if admittedly unoriginally premised) episode.
The few things I don't like in this episode are not exclusive to it, but more a dissatisfaction with ST in general (notably, the ridiculous idea that two societies at a similar scientific/industrial development stage somehow ALSO have automatically similar fashions or social organizations... Especially since it could be reasonable to imagine that humanoid societies would progress to scientific knowledge (which i objective) folowing the same steps. But fashion is entirely arbitrary - there is absolutely NO reason for a commonality of fashions. There was absolutely none ON EARTH! So you can imagine how I feel about having it in the universe...
Nice episode. No excitement but still a fascinating watch.
I don't know, I really liked this episode for the most part... as always, I think Brent Spiner did a great job, and I liked the actors who played Garvin and Gia... and I thought Ronnie Claire Edwards did a great job as well... one of the better episodes in season 7 I thought...
I also found the substance of the bridge officer's technical test to be hard to believe. In every Trek episode I've ever seen, old or new, a captain has never ordered a subordinate to certain death. Extreme danger and likely death, sure, but it's represented that Geordi will unquestionably die from the radiation exposure that he will undergo while he makes the repair. Okay, why not order Data to do it, since he is immune? (It's a holodeck simulation of the characters, so Data could have been included in it.) Or, since not ever starship has an android officer, why not design the ship's power system in such a way that it can be repaired without a person physically entering the conduit? For one thing, given the presumed nature of the forces involved in warp drive, it seems unlikely that Geordi or any other human would even live long enough to effect the repairs. More likely, they'd die the moment they entered. It just seemed like a lame excuse to show that even Troi can be "ruthless" when needed.
With all this said, the main plot about Data was fine if you allow for the unlikelihood of Data selectively losing his memories (not recognizing the meaning of "radioactive") and you excuse the villagers being so similar to early Renaissance Europe in terms of the level of scientific understanding that it even comes out in their choice of clothing. At least the guest stars did a terrific job, from the village teacher/doctor, to Gia, and even the xenophobic blacksmith character.
I agree with the two star rating. I would even have given it 2.5 or even 3 if the B plot were jettisoned.
Whether or not the command test is plausible (and, yeah, I mostly agree it isn't), I see the rank issue differently. As in real life military, certain professionals in non-line fields automatically start at higher rank -- e.g. fresh-out-of-the-academy Bashir starts out as lieutenant junior grade rather than ensign, whereas Nurse Ogawa is an ensign. Pulaski doesn't seem to be a line officer at all, not even through a special "bridge officer" test that Crusher and Troi did, and she's a full commander. I think it has something to do with extra training; we know that Troi went to the University of Betazed in addition to her time at Starfleet Academy. So Troi's lieutenant commander / later commander is partly representative not just of her status in terms of command but also of her professional designation. Troi without bridge officer status is lt. commander and commands when she is the highest ranking officer present and there are no line officers present ("Disaster"); otherwise she's behind senior staff line officers like Data, Geordi, and Worf regardless of rank. When she gets bumped to commander she has bridge officer status but that doesn't put her above Data in the line anymore than Crusher's commander rank and bridge officer status makes her above Data. I think Data remains second officer; and it's up to the current captain's discretion who to appoint as second in command in case of senior staff absences, i.e. Data appointing Lt. Worf as acting first officer despite his lower rank than Geordi and Beverly in "Gambit."
As for Data on the planet, the more interesting plot line. Yes, Data not knowing "Radioactive" is a bit of a stretch, but it is a great lesson in the scientific method. With 3 parallel personalities in the young girl, the teacher, and the black smith, representing the curiosity of youth, forward thinking, and backward thinking. The problem of the radioactive material is solved in an elegant way, with nice logical steps that are essentially true.
"I really liked that episode, a solid 3 stars for me. I liked both stories, even though I'm not entirely convinced by Data finding a cure for radiation poisoning so quickly with the few herbs that pass for medicine and chemistry in this village. WE still don't have a cure for radiation poisoning - of course they could have found one by the 24th century... But then again we're led to believe Data doesn't remember anything and re-invents everything. "
One nitpick I have is that the Barkonians are *not* human and Data presumably knows bubkes about their physiology, yet he conjures up a cure seemingly based on what would work on humans. I'm reminded of that Voyager episode in which the Doctor is kidnapped and finds himself in an alien hospital run by Benny Stulwicz from "L.A. Law" -- he's never seen, let alone treated, any of these alien life forms, yet within minutes of his activation he's prescribing medicine for them.
Also, who builds a village two days' walk from the nearest river?
I like a suggestion above that said maybe the B plots over a season could have been used for character arcs. Its a shame because the disconnect between episodes really becomes apparent when you watch multiple episodes back to back.
Data changes quite a lot as well. Kira goes from being a terrorist who is distrustful of the Federation, hates Cardassians, doesn't understand her faith, and can't let others in... to something quite different. Her experiences soften her and leave her with a different kind of edge at the same time. She learns to care about many Cardassians, comes to believe in the Federation, makes peace with the war and so much more. I'm surprised you hit on this character because I feel her arc is one of the most satisfying ones.
