And we're off! #TNGSunNight

They say, once you cross the Rubicon, you never cross back... #TNGSunNight

*Almost* identical ;) #TNGSunNight

Riker sees no glitches in the plan. And he's *looking* for glitches. #TNGSunNight

"Well, we're her--whoa."
"Sir, ma'am...this is a Safeway."
#TNGSunNight

"Beam that boy *right* back up to the ship. Quick! Before his mother finds out!" #TNGSunNight

"I quit Starfleet. I live here now." #TNGSunNight

"I, too, quit Starfleet." #TNGSunNight

"Good tea. Nice house." #TNGSunNight

"Send...the boy...*home*." #TNGSunNight

I mean, this whole thing shrieks of another shoe about to drop. #TNGSunNight

"I see Spock has been through here." #TNGSunNight

Ahh, see. The other shoe. #TNGSunNight

"Glinda the Good Witch! HOW DID SHE FIND ME?!?" #TNGSunNight

"STATE THE PURPOSE OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!" Sounds like *all* of my biology professors. #TNGSunNight

"Do we...do we get medical or engineering?" #TNGSunNight

That's...problematic. #TNGSunNight

Meanwhile, the perm budget alone for this episode must have wiped them out. #TNGSunNight

Anyone who commits a crime in the punishment zone dies! How many shoes do these people have left to drop? #TNGSunNight

Meanwhile, Shenanigans #1 - I'm going to call out the boy that threw the ball toward the flower garden. He basically set Wesley up. Get two needles. #TNGSunNight

Gosh, you almost wish Beverly had mercy-killed him during that whole Ferengi thing a few weeks back, huh? #TNGSunNight

"It was announced you came as friends!" Yeah, and then you made with the murder needles! So never mind #TNGSunNight

Meanwhile, back on the ranch, let's go out of our way not to let the boy's mother know that he's been condemned to death on an alien planet, k? She's busy. #TNGSunNight

Their Supreme Court appears to have convened. #TNGSunNight

Crap, they've got a machine god. Why do the folks who started worshipping a machine end up with some kind of death cult ritual? I'm blaming AI for this. #TNGSunNight

Chief Justice Curlicue makes a stand for her people. #TNGSunNight

I don't think this is healthy. #TNGSunNight

"Chief Justice Curlicue was removed without proper authorization." #TNGSunNight

"If he were your son..." Well, give it a couple of years. #TNGSunNight

Snerk. "God Thing." #TNGSunNight

Hot tip, Picard, don't accuse autistic people of babbling. We don't like it. What do you mean he's an android? ...the whole time? #TNGSunNight #ActuallyAutistic

"Huh...Maybe if I pray to it." #TNGSunNight

Was it hard, in the 80's, when all the chairs melted? #TNGSunNight

"Oh, good. Doctor, do join us for an uncomfortable squat." #TNGSunNight

"Dang, still?" #TNGSunNight

Now, I'm torn between the Prime Directive, and "Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say *YES*!" #TNGSunNight

"You're not involved in this decision, boy!" Oh, hang on, Picard! #TNGSunNight

"Ha, ha! PSYCH!" #TNGSunNight

"Is it...is it laughing at us?" #TNGSunNight

I guess the moral of the story is, if you find yourself beaming down to a power perm sex planet, just don't touch anything or move at all until someone tells you *all* the laws, k? Great watch, everyone! 🖖#TNGSunNight

Next week: "The Three *cough* Amigos!" #TNGSunNight
