What makes it more sad is the fact that he’s living a fantasy. But how do you tell somebody still filled with such… grief? To help somebody accept reality and move on is one thing, but in this case it almost seems cruel.

This is one of my favorite episodes. This guy, by the force of his will alone, destroyed the attacking ship and everyone of the aliens (man, woman and child, equivalent there of) in the entire universe in an instant. He did it in a rage because his wife, the love of his immortal life, was killed when he refused to fight. So, with his near omnipotent power he recreated his wife and home, feigning being content living a facsimile of his former life, for eternity.

Many cultures customarily drink tea-it’s not exclusive to Britain. African, indigenous American, and Asian cultures all had tea drinking customs long before Britain even existed as a nation. I would imagine that other planets similarly found that brewing herbs, fruits, or spices to drink is helpful/soothing/pleasant.

It'd be neat to see the Douwd drink tea. As an energy being it has no need for water, of course, but surely when his wife was alive he wanted to maintain the illusion. Maybe as Kevin Uxbridge he has a working digestive system (though I doubt it). I rather think that anything he "consumes" would be annihilated by his energy composition, though this is obviously speculation.

He can re-create the life that made him happy so easily but knowing it's not 'real' takes away everything from him... This episode really boggles my mind... They fell in love so quickly and so absolutely and this man seems just as powerful as a Q. He loses her in his restrain and then commits a terrible atrocity but brings back their little slice of paradise... If you can manipulate reality so easily and so completely, what's the problem? But then I'm not of the alien species that has the mental and emotional software to really understand it all...

While he managed to create a near perfect replica, he knows she isn’t truly his wife, merely an approximation that he created out of grief for her death… she is no more real than a Holodeck fiction… Having the power to destroy life, is easy… Having the power to return the dead back to life, the Truly Dead…. that, is much, much more difficult…

One of the best episodes!

The Hierarchy-like Klingons on Discovery should have instead been called the Husnock. Then, the viewers would all along know that this evil race met a very swift end from a place they didn't expect.

Picard and his Bee Ess detector quite often seems to run counter to the Prime Directive. They don't WANT your help. They don't want you there. But the way Dude goes about trying to "scare them off" only shifts Picard into a whole new gear of "What's going on???"
