** Chuck suggests that Picard is staring intently at Riker's butt (and the footage from the episode certainly doesn't help) then inadvertently admits to it while chewing him out.
--->'''Riker:''' It's a Federation ship.
--->'''Picard:''' Well thank God you're here, Riker to tell me the obvious. Sometimes I wonder if looking at your ass is worth having to listen to the crap that comes pouring out your gob until we're left floating in a sea of irrelevant shit!
--->"'Riker:''' (awkward silence) What exactly are you saying, sir?



** The entire discussion about the horrible failed joke Guinan tells... and the one from the original draft of the script, which made even less sense. “If there’s a joke in there, we need a team of archaeologists with those little brushes to go in there and look for it.”

** "'[[{{Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E7Justice}} Justice]]' is the Anime/{{Voltron}} of ''Star Trek'' suck.

** From the same review: "I'll check [Picard's] academy records. His language course was 203. Let me cross-check that. Hmm. Oh yes! He's fluent in '''yelling at people'''. This is the time honoured method of speaking your own language LOUDLY and some-what slow-ly to people who don't speak it, in the hopes that they will suddenly understand you. ({{beat}}) The others just laugh at him.

-->'''Chuck:''' ''(after explaining why Data's appreciation for art and completely rational way of thinking makes him disinclined to simply destroy Fajo's collection)'' That's why it is a good thing it's not Lore in there, right?

** Chuck admits that he isn't quite sure if he should interpret Jono splattering Wesley with ice cream as entirely accidential, as he cannot exclude the possiblity that Jono, with how he has been raised by what is bascially a race of {{Jerk Jock}}s, somehow knew on a purely instinctual level that he was supposed to pick on Wesley.


Added DiffLines:

** Chuck notices that it isn't too surprising that Jono eventually snaps in anger and stabs Picard while he is sleeping. After all, Picard was the one who left him in Wesley's company for half a day, so he kind of had it coming.
*** He also notices how it is a case of Picard's fear of children being justified for once:
---->'''Chuck:''' You know, if he lives, Picard will be hanging on to this "Get of Jail Free" Card forever, right? "No, I can't help. I just don't get along with children; they are undisciplined, immature, and -- oh, yes -- ''they stab me in the freaking chest!''

*** The reason for this is that Chuck couldn't find any footage of ''Film/FieldOfDreams'', so he had to make due with the porn parody, ''Field of Wet Dreams''. He goes on to recommend a few other Creator/JamesEarlJones movies, in particular ''[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack The Empires Got Back]]'' and ''[[Film/TheHuntForRedOctober The Hunt for Ms. October]]''.

** His whole take on the exceedingly grumpy Vulcan investigator at the academy as being both a distant relation of Robert Picard and also being Satan himself.
--->'''Vulcan:''' I'd tell ya to live long and prosper, but as a Starfleet officer, my first duty is to tell the truth, so I hope you die poor, alone, surrounded by people cursing your name and spittin' on ya. And my salute's different from other Vulcans, too -- it's [[FlippingTheBird just this one finger]]...
*** Chuck later comments on how creepy the lighting in a later scene, combined with a slow pan to his face, makes said Vulcan look.
---->'''Vulcan:''' Your soul now belongs to me! The Lord of All Worms!
** Chuck commenting on how Dr. Crusher never considers for a second that Wesley might be lying in his testimony, but immediately and unquestionably assumes it must be something with the statelite data:
--->'''Chuck:''' Parents are just goofy. When you're growing up, they never buy anything you say. You know: "No, it wasn't me, mom!" "Don't lie to me!" Then you grow up and then suddenly you're George Fricking Washington. "''No!'' My Johnny said he ''didn't'' murder Creator/JackNicholson, so I believe him! I don't care you have 50 cameras showing him walking up in front of 50,000 people, waving his birth cefiticate, singing 'I am Johnny! And I'm here to kill Jack Nicholson!' No! It couldn't be him!"

** When the Federation scientist explains to Picard that "these people actually believe they've sold their souls to the Devil," and Picard is immediately hailed by Riker:
--->'''Chuck!Riker''': [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay There's someone called Mephisto here, wants to know how you feel about not being married to Beverly Crusher. Do you have any idea what he's talking about?]]
** Commenting on how Picard is behind Ardra's choice of Data for Arbiter, since Data is impossible to intimidate and even a skeptic would be wary of getting on the Devil's bad side. Cue a clip from ''Series/Babylon5'', episode "[[Recap/BabylonFiveS02E03TheGeometryOfShadows The Geometry of Shadows]]", of Londo suffering the wrath of the Technomages to drive the point home.
