* ArbitrarySkepticism: Picard does not believe that the entities are really from the crew of the ''Essex'' because no officer of Starfleet would act as they have. Apparently, Picard's never heard of the numerous captains and officers from "[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries The Original Series]]" who went insane and/or turned rogue. Worf even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this by noting they could have very easily [[GoMadFromTheIsolation gone insane]] after being trapped as disembodied spirits for over two centuries. While he turns out to be right in this instance, his insistence that there's no way they could possibly be Starfleet officers comes off as more naive than idealistic.

Notably if he had been possessed they would have taken over the ship 10 minutes into the episode as a free Riker wouldn't have been able to lock out bridge control forcing the trio on the move.
