1* MoralEventHorizon: If Sunad hadn't already crossed it for wanting to kill John Doe (and possibly having already killed his comrades) for supposedly being a threat, then trying to murder everyone on the ''Enterprise'' definitely puts him over the edge.
2* NightmareFuel: John Doe's appearance when he's first found by the ''Enterprise'' away team. More immediately apparent than the loss of his left arm is that he's received extreme facial trauma, ''with his brain exposed and skin ripped away from his cheek, exposing his back teeth.''
3* {{Padding}}: The two-minute scene of Picard and Data trying to determine where exactly John Doe came from is one of the more notorious TechnoBabble scenes in the show's history, with the two doing nothing but sitting on the bridge and spewing out meaningless jargon.
4* SpecialEffectsFailure: At the end of the episode, John Doe is transformed into a glowing yellow energy being... which looks like a person wearing a glowing morphsuit. The HD remaster ''really'' doesn't help, turning what was originally a hit-or-miss effect on first transmission into a thousand-yard miss.
