Watching "Clues"

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Also not sure how they 'correct' Troi's hallucinations the second time around.

The alien might go away quicker, for example. Or invade Troi's mind less frequently and the go away as soon as possible.

If the crew does it right, there won't be any need for the alien to possess Troi - it only did that because things went wrong. If the Paxans are satisfied, they won't come aboard.

Thank you, I must have missed that.

No prob. It's a very short line from Picard after Data advises them against going back in because of the "Wormhole"

DATA: I would recommend against returning. It might put the Enterprise at further risk.

RIKER: We could sent a probe...

DATA: That would certainly be sufficient, Commander.

PICARD: Make it so. And put out a hazard advisory to Starfleet.

Yeah, but it has already possessed Troi, twice now. After they possessed Troi the 1st time, they erased everyone's memory, & she still ended up having subconscious recollections of some sort, which resulted in them having to possess her again. They'll have to do some extra special brainy magic to sort her out

Wouldn't it be nice if Data could set up some kind of warning not to go there so no one else so compliant won't be killed to keep the secret?

Picard: Make it so. And put out a hazard advisory to Starfleet

They put out a hazard warning at the end. Plus, the only reason this happened is because Data was on board & immune. Data is nearly unique in their universe. The likelihood of this happening again is remote

So I wonder how they got around Beverly's moss. They'd have to kill it, or replant them so they'd be at the right growth after "30 seconds". Also not sure how they 'correct' Troi's hallucinations the second time around.

Star Trek magicky stuff. Replicate new plants of the proper growth & have the aliens work some extra memory voodoo on her to correct the issue. Not a big leap in believability really... For Star Trek, of all things

Completely agree with both your statements Mojochi. And I forgot that they had to recover up Troi's hallucinations, thanks for reminding me.
