** Picard (out of curiosity) reaches for the rotten fruit, and his hand gets time-warped. The pain and fingernail effects are horrifying to witness.

* SpecialEffectFailure: Unintentionally played straight and subverted:
** Played straight in that some of the background extras are clearly struggling to stand perfectly still, notably the Romulan near the engineering station on the bridge and the female engineer who appears in close-up. When the episode aired this wouldn't have been that noticeable, but on high-resolution screens it is painfully obvious.
** Subverted when Troi walks past another Romulan in sickbay who also seems to be struggling to appear frozen in time ... because they're actually not, making it a surprise when they start moving normally.

* NightmareFuel: Picard goes from deliriously giggling at the smiley face he drew in the warp core explosion, to screaming and pleading while banging on the glass as a result of "time narcosis" as his timeline starts to sync with the Enterprise. Patrick Stewart's performance in this (thankfully brief) scene is downright disturbing.

** Practically as bad is seeing Dr. Crusher, frozen in time, in the middle of being [[NotEnoughToBury disintegrated]] by a Romulan disruptor blast to the midsection at point-blank range. Thankfully, it gets averted when time is "rewound" and Troi arms and interposes herself, but still.

** When Picard goes time-mad, he throws himself against the clear partition around the war core, but the way it bends at the slightest touch reveals that it's just a thin sheet of plastic rather than any protective barrier.
