I liked the overall lesson of that episode, but I didn't like the episode itself so much. I guess TNG was just too preachy for me.
Got a tip for us?

I saw that episode and it was fantastic. But my favourite was when he became unconscious and lived his entire life on the planet's surface whose inhabitants died long ago when their sun went supernova. He got the opportunity to live two lifetimes and having children.
That's perhaps one of my favourite episode ever.

That one was pretty good, though pretty depressing, really. Losing a family like that. My favorite PART of an episode was (cant remember which episode) where Tasha Yar is explaining to Wesley why people do drugs. It's so cheesy, and feels like a mid-90's PSA. Good stuff.
Can we stop talking about Star Trek and get back on topic for God's sake?
But the episodes of TNG we are talking about are on topic.

I am confused by your comment.Can we stop talking about Star Trek and get back on topic for God's sake?
Both episodes of Star Trek TNG deal with the subject at hand per say.
Time travel is always a fascinating realm to discuss.
Anyhow, as I mentioned earlier, we are a product of our experiences. It we omit a bad one, or go back in time to correct a mistake, will we be the same person or will we have changed?
As some have mentioned or alluded, I think that it is best to focus on the future.
What if we hate the final product that has developed as a result of those past experiences? Hence, the need to go back in time with having the advantage of a fully intact memory.
You should see (if you haven't already) "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
I tried answering but I got all flustered by what I consider to be a ridiculous "rule" - you just can't take one thing away and keep the memories. It's absurd on many levels and might well defeat the purpose of taking it away. but, I swore I wasn't going to get into that. (I agree with what Sushi just said on post 59 as well)

Yes you can. I created this thread, so if I say you can travel back in time and keep your memory, you can.
I wouldn't want to. I personally have had a lot of really awful things happen to me, I can't take them back because it made me who I am. I do have one thing, and it's a big one, that I regret above all else and often say I wish I could take it back... but I can't. I wouldn't be where I am without all that. It's just too tricky in my opinion to remove one thing but not the memory of it. BUT I suppose this depends widely on what your one thing is.
(if it were a disfiguring thing, damn right I'd take it back. but that is not where I am coming from) if that makes sense.
I strongly believe that you live your life focused towards the future.
In other words, you learn from your mistakes and move forward. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. The key is to learn, adjust as needed, and continue to grow as an individual.
Do I wish that I could go back and change an activity in the past? Yes and no. Yes because I don't want it to happen. No because the event affected me and my character grew from it.
