See you in court

Watched 'A Matter of Perspective' again thanks to this thread, and remembered how enjoyably silly it is.

The "Oh crap, we're underrunning" pre-title sequence with Data critiquing Picard's painting is hilarious - sad than Jean-Luc never picked up a brush again, as far as I can recall.

Frakes is great here. There's a fun bit with Riker peeping into the ready room when Picard's having a private meeting concerning his potential extradition. It's also interesting that it's left open whether Riker really was flirting with Mrs Apgar. I suspect the truth was somewhere between their two accounts.

And it's quite like 'Wolf in the Fold' in that the Enterprise crew come up with some ludicrous scientific mumbo-jumbo to exculpate their friend, and the prosecutor immediately buys it and goes home without a second thought.

That scene in the beginning was funny. It also shows exactly how strongly Picard values input from Data. (And you are correct that we never see him paint again.)

And that scene has one of the two best soundtracks (the other is the Evolution opening)

The episode score is great - Ron Jones, of course.

Four seasons later, he suggests (threatens) he'll enter the art contest for "Commander Riker Day". I wonder which art medium he'd choose?

True.

And I wish that we saw that.
