What the torturer asks Picard to do is basically doublethink. Should there be a link of some sort to Doublethink? Mercruz ( talk) 10:57, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
PICARD: You are six...years old...weak..and helpless...you cannot...hurt me!
CARDASSIAN: How many?
And then, Picard says something that might be a quote from Shakespeare. Does anybody know what is is??
Thank you. I appreciate that. Chesty95 02:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
As of now it's entirely original research. nadav 06:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
As the 1984 reference is still there, I was going to add a footnote regarding Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, in which Petruchio kidnaps and imprisons Katherina and subjects her to sleep deprivation, starvation, and other unpleasantness until she freely admits the moon is the sun and the sun is the moon. Obviously Shakespeare predates Orwell, but as there is some controversy regarding literary analysis and torture discussions, I'll keep my hands off except to say I believe more is better, analysis and discussion should be encouraged, and it's a credit to everyone involve with Star Trek: The Next Generation that the series generates such lively interest sixteen years after its final episode first aired.

Corrected unneccessary political statement, as what is currently considered to be a part of US and British law is not relevant for a wikipedia summary of the article. -- Zenten ( talk) 15:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps this article should link to the one on Gaslight / Gaslighting ... This seems to correspond to the form of psychological abuse / torture that Picard faces? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.202.213 ( talk) 01:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I read/heard somewhere, shortly after these episodes aired, that Patrick Stewart watched some Amnesty International videos about political prisoners, in preparation for the role. Does anyone have a source for this? -- 204.246.229.130 ( talk) 18:32, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
"(This is in reference to the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell where Winston Smith's torturer holds up four fingers and wishes Winston to believe that he is holding up five.)"
- This is in error. Winston is asked what 2+2 is and told that it is 5, not 4. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.197.141.106 ( talk) 17:14, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
There is an interview with David Warner about playing Gul Madred here. Miyagawa ( talk) 21:28, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
"Removed From Command" is used for disciplinry reasons. He was relieved in a proper ceremony (that doesn't happen in disciplinry matters), the proper term would have been "relieved by Adm. JELICOTE." (I don't actually care, since all this did was prove once again how incompetent wikipedia is.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.10.167.226 ( talk) 13:44, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
It says they worked together on Helmet in 1965 and Warner praised the young Stewart. Patrick Stewart is actually the elder of the two of them so more context would help. 84.71.36.28 ( talk) 17:00, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
