[edit] THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS

PICARD: You are six...years old...weak..and helpless...you cannot...hurt me!

CARDASSIAN: How many?

And then, Picard says something that might be a quote from Shakespeare. Does anybody know what is is??

• From the script: PICARD'S VOICE (singing in some desperation) Sur le pont... d'Avignon... on y danse... on y danse... It's a french song, see Sur le pont d'Avignon

Thank you. I appreciate that. Chesty95 02:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

As of now it's entirely original research. nadav 06:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

On the contrary- the episode itself is a reliable source for the article. I'm not saying that the article couldn't be improved with a rewrite, but I disagree that it's all OR. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 09:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Specifically the comparisons to 1984 and Brazil. This isn't the place for original literary analysis. I'm at least removing that part. nadav

[edit] Political Vandalism

Corrected unneccessary political statement, as what is currently considered to be a part of US and British law is not relevant for a wikipedia summary of the article. --Zenten (talk) 15:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

How is it vandalism? It is stylistically consistent with other Wikipedia articles about the situations Picard finds himself in. Therefore, characterizing what happens in this episode as torture is an NPOV violation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.235.139.169 (talk) 19:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gaslighting

Perhaps this article should link to the one on Gaslight / Gaslighting ... This seems to correspond to the form of psychological abuse / torture that Picard faces? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.202.213 (talk) 01:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
