That symbolic tree of life has seen better days. It’s one of the many nice continuity touches that help show the passage of time on Kataan. #TNGSunNight

It’s a shame they cut the dialogue where Meribor responds by telling Picard that his grandson will have a rich life even if it’s not a long one. #TNGSunNight

Patrick Stewart acted the heck out of that scene when Eline dies. But it’s a shame that Batai wasn’t in the room for his mother's final moments. #TNGSunNight

Yep, our technology is so limited … we can build probes that can cause people to live an entire life in under 30 minutes. I know it’s something we have to accept to make “The Inner Light” work plotwise. #TNGSunNight

Picard is such a good dad to Batai and Meribor that I want to think it’s inherently him and not the probe that’s shaping his reactions with his family. #TNGSunNight

The scenes on Kataan are so good that I wish they didn’t cut back and forth to the Enterprise. I would have been happy if we didn’t see the ship again until Picard woke up. #TNGSunNight

I realize Picard is hungry, but Eline’s soup is probably better than what he had on Romulus. It’s also probably better than Chapel’s plomeek soup or Neelix’s leola root soup. #TNGSunNight

If the probe had encountered a Klingon ship, would all the people on Kataan have appeared as Klingons to whomever it scanned? #TNGSunNight

I really hope the missing scene is Kirk left some crew on the planet to help the natives adjust to life without Vaal providing them everything. #TOSSatNight
