Talk:Rascals (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

Miles and Keiko, Ro

This episode is pretty notable as it is the last in which all three of them appear. Miles and Ro do come back for a guest appearance later I think, but basically this is right before M+K go to DS9 and Ro... I don't actually remember what happened to her, sorry Ro. This episode I think really touched something disturbing about Miles and Keiko's relationship. They seemed very close but he just totally snubs her when she's 12. No doubt he is insecure about his romantic feelings for her in a young girl's body, but Miles always seemed like a guy who put his cares for his wife and daughter above personal things when it became really important. This isn't just some squabble where you can be stubborn to get your own way, there was no conflict here, he created the divide himself. It may be valuable to post links between this episode and the one in DS9 where Molly gets aged to age 18, since it is a similar (moreso reverse) situation with comparable troubles.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• no dab links

Plot

• "they use comm badges" - communication badges
• "With command function enabled," - With the command function enabled,
• "After the events, transporter is used to return Picard," - After the events, the transporter is used to return Picard,

Writing

• The wikilink for DNA should be on the first instance it is mentioned not the second

Direction and casting

• Remove the duplicate link for Rick Berman

Broadcast

• "This was part of an overall decline in ratings during the first part of the sixth season, the preceeding episode," - replace the first comma with a semi-colon
• "received a rating of 13.4 percent" - sentence lacks a full stop

Critical reception

• "Handlen said that the Miles/Keiko scene was "dramatically interesting", and said that the part of the episode with the Ferengi was "a nice mini-action movie that helps pick up a generally dodgy hour"." - reptition of the word "said"
• "He said that it resembled the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "The Counter-Clock Incident", and said that the first act of "Rascals" was compelling." - same issue as above

References

• no dead links
