Goofs
Baryon particles are real things. However, protons and neutrons fall into this class. Eliminating them from the Enterprise's hull would destroy the ship on an atomic level. All that would be left would be electrons.

Picard Throws Down

In William Shatner's documentary "Chaos on the Bridge," one of the Next Generation's writers mentioned that Patrick Stewart emphasized "the two F's" for his captain role. He wanted more fighting and.... um, effing.

Well, there is certainly more fighting in this one-- and it's a welcome relief because it seems like his character was going through yet another stretch of pedestrianism. It's nice to remind the audience that Picard wasn't just cerebral-- he was a virile leader as well.

When you throw in Brent Spiner/Data's excellent comedy in this one you know that it's a classic.
