* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: A more understated, quieter moment of awesome than we're used to from Picard. It's not so much from the usual PatrickStewartSpeech we know and love, but rather a coolheaded, soft-spoken, ArmorPiercingResponse in the form of using Satie's own father's words against her. And it [[BerserkButton completely unravels her.]]

** At the time, Saite's rants about Romulan spies in Starfleet seem just the paranoid rambling of a woman who's lost her way.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: How Satie went about her witch hunt was undoubtedly a bit much. But whereas Picard's embittered monologue at the end demonstrated his belief that Satie was always corrupt to an extent, it's been speculated otherwise, even on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki, [[AmbiguouslyEvil that it may be more complex]]. Little hints are given throughout the episode, most notably in her discussions of growing up with her strict father, that she may have just cracked after being in the game for way too long. Plus, there is something to be said for having to meet one's quota in law enforcement. The fact [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she even seems to realize herself that she went too far]] (if not for the right reasons) makes it possible to have a tiny bit of sympathy for her, although it doesn't change the fact that as far as the events of this specific episode go, she brought it on herself.
