Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Frank Hollander visits his son in the jail, he inquires as to the identity of "the stranger" (Counselor Troi), to which his son Eli replies that he doesn't know, as she hasn't stated it. This is incorrect. Earlier in the saloon, Worf's son Alexander, in front of Eli, told Worf when Troi appeared that "I asked Counselor Troi to join us". Later on, just before Frank arrived at the jail to visit Eli, Worf- in plain earshot of Eli sitting in his cell- referred to Troi as "Counselor", at which Troi loudly reminded Worf that her name was "Durango" (the imaginary western character she is playing while in the Holodeck).

Quotes:
[several computer systems have been corrupted with Data's personal database]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: When can you correct the problem?
Lt. Commander Data: We are currently attempting to isolate the corrupted circuit pathways. I reckon the process should take less than two hours.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: What did you say?
Lt. Commander Data: I said the process should take less than two hours.
Commander William T. Riker: No, you said 'I reckon'.
Lt. Commander Data: According to my memory logs I did not use those words. Y'all must be mistaken.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: There - Data, you did it again.
Lt. Commander Data: [southern accent] Did wha-t?

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
When the Enterprise crew are enjoying a welcome bit of time off Worf and Alexander enter the Holodeck and become the Sheriff and his Deputy in the old west. In Engineering Geordi and Data are experimenting with a new link up for Data to access problems when the main computer isn't working properly. The experiment goes awry and the ship goes haywire producing poetry on some of the padds and the replicators start producing cat food! On the holodeck all Worf and Alexander's adversaries start looking like Data. This gives Brent Spiner a real chance to stretch again, the guy is brilliant on both the holodeck and back on the Enterprise where the real Data starts acting like a character from the old west which is a good laugh, especially seeing the crew's reaction to it! On the holodeck Worf must find a way to beat his enemies who all have not only Data's looks, but his abilities too. Worf, through a bit of genius, is victorious. The last scene on the holodeck is a howl! The closing scene is nice and we get to see Worf in a rare grin!
