I think staff around here generally prefers that you start a new thread, if the previous one is more than 6 months old. I often try to see what shows up in the subforum's list of topics (which I think are set by default to the last 30 days), and if nothing shows up, I'll start a new one. Some of the subforums have light traffic, so I'll look back a little further then.
They won't put you in the brig unless you make a habit of necromancy I think.
It appears that I probably chose the "wrong" one of the two. The other on was more recent. (the one that jimbotron linked)
I don't see what the problem is with bring to life an older thread though.
I f I need to delete and move stuff, I'm hoping someone will let me know.
Thanks.
Melakon, it took me a long time to figure out the multi-quote function, but it's actually very simple:
Click the MultiQuote button for each post that you want to quote, and, after the last one, also click either the Quote button or Post Reply.

Yeah, I've gotten demerits
Just a habit I've got to get myself into. Although responding to posts in discussion shouldn't be considered "spam".
It is a pretty damn cool function. I just need to remember to use it
I found "Measure of a Man" to be well-written. I found it to be a very strong episode for Riker, actually. He had some very memorable moments, throughout the episode. And at the end, when Data comes looking for him, that was very touching. I liked how Frakes played it, it was almost "real." It had a lot going for it, as a character-driven episode. It was very good.
All you mini-mods, let's cut Yanks some slack. Yes, he unearthed an old thread but he added substantive commentary to it. This old mod won't complain. Resurrecting a necrotic topic then just adding an emoticon or a three word burp is not OK.
Agree completely. In my view this makes this episode even worse.
The worst part is Picard's little chat with Guinan. None of the conversation had anything to do with the trial or Data.
Exactly! Riker's performance was right on target and yes that ending with Data and Riker is classic and well played. I really did feel like Riker hated himself for doing it and almost winning. Then, Data being Spock like, states the obvious as clears the air.
Thank you.
I like the episode, but also recognize the fact that it does seem a bit contrived in that Data just being in Starfleet would have to have been recognized as a being long ago, & thereby due all the rights of any being in Starfleet. It's mostly the wonderful acting from everyone featured that makes it truly wonderful to watch

The dialogue between Picard and Louvois when they see eachother never fails to make me laugh, would have been interesting to nsee their relationship explored a bit more.
Agree. I would like to know more detail about the Stargazer trial. It always puzzled me as to why Picard gets so worked up about her. I'm guessing the result of the trial was truthful and obviously didn't hurt Picard.
Why is he so pissed?
I think it's because he did not like he fact that his girlfriend was dragging him through the mud to make sure there was no wrongdoing on his part, people died and a ship was left crippled and abandoned after all. Picard probably knows and understands why she did what she did, but enough trust was betrayed and feelings were hurt that Picard needed to separate from Phillipa in order to move on.
Just for the record I don't actually have a problem with resurrecting old threads. I agree if there is something meaningful added to the discussion it shouldn't be an issue.
I just like using the the thread necromancy image.

I like to think they did the deed after the episode. To be honest their relationship is the most interesting part of the episode to me.
I saw this episode looong after already seeing all the other data episodes. So to me it felt like a retread of all I learned about him, maybe it was different back at that time.
One thing that seems ridiculous is Riker being assigned to argue Maddox's side even though he doesn't believe in it. What kind of crazy system is that?
That seems pretty petty for someone of Picard's stature. It seemed forced and out of character to me. His juvinile reaction to her wasn't needed for the story at all.
A great episode, would probably be the chronologically earliest if I made a list of top 10 TNG episodes. Worth it all for Picard's best speechifying moment ever. It doesn't make Season 2 great, but it's an indicator of what the show can and will be in the future
I find Louvois to be a weak point of the episode...she seems like a too-on-the-nose rehash of Kirk's old flame in "Court-Martial", right down to quoting the amount of time since they'd last seen each other (IIRC).
