Talk:Skin of Evil

minor issues
Having just veiwed the episode, there are a couple very minor things that seem off about this article;

When Armus kills Yar, it appears to be more of a wave of light that strkes her rather than a ball of slime, but I may be mistaken.

When Picard finally confronts Armus after being allowed to see the crewmembers in the downed shuttle, the conclusion that he forces it to face and therefore uses to distract it with rage is that it will be alone for an eternity, and that it is afraid to never be able to die, that it will never again see those who deserted it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.238.111.102 (talk • contribs)

trivia vs. continuity errors
I'd argue that while bloopers are trivia, continuity errors are actual facts relevant to the show's storyline(s) and should be kept. --Membrain00 (talk) 19:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia gets oddly picky about any "fact" which can be confirmed only by direct observation, considering most "continuity errors" to be "original research" unless documented in an established professional context, such as a book or magazine (IMDB is a major grey area). (Obviously, even a cursory review of Wikipedia articles shows the "fact" rules are very inconsistently enforced or followed.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:C4FE:5DD9:218:F3FF:FEF1:1346 (talk) 21:13, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

pruning
In response to May 2009 box about needing to be cut down, I pruned this a bit. Not sure it's enough to warrant removing the box. Tkech (talk) 23:09, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Reasons for Crosby's leaving the show
Hello,

I've added a couple of "citation needed" markers to claims that Crosby left the show of her own accord. I did so because the only citation I've seen on Wikipedia that supports such a claim is of an interview with Crosby; i.e., I'd like to see independent verification of her claim. I had heard, for instance, that Crosby was terminated and did not leave the show voluntarily; if this were true, it would suggest the possibility that Crosby is not an entirely objective source in this matter. In either case, as it is always helpful to have multiple sources for a claim, I hope that someone will be able to find such a source for the claim in question. Thank you!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BC58:5910:11A9:688B:D2AE:511 (talk) 14:42, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Re: episode number
I've just noticed a couple of well-intentioned editors changing the episode number from 23 to 22 (got caught in the vandalism filter.) The confusion is understandable, but I think we should stick with 23. Episode numbering for the first season of The Next Generation is inconsistent, because Episode 1x01/02 was aired as a feature length two parter. In other words, that episode was split up and numbered as two regular-length episodes, even though they aired back to back, and the episode that aired next was (and remains) "Season 1, Episode 3" on paper.

IMDB shows Encounter at Farpoint as "Episode 1x01" because on DVD, streaming services, etc. it's a single track labeled "Encounter at Farpoint (Parts I & II)," causing subsequent episodes to show up with a lower number than they were originally assigned. This episode appears on Netflix and IMDB and the DVD as the 22nd episode of Season 1, but it's only "Episode 22" relative to the DVD you're watching. I think I'm gonna swap it back, for now, because I think it's probably wiser to go with the episode numbering 1) as aired, and 2) as reported by the Star Trek folks, rather than the numbering as it appears on Netflix. If somebody can make a compelling case to the contrary, please do. --Moralis (talk) 19:07, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
