	Ex Astris Scientia - The Trill Problem
		Thus the new humanoid host does not really lose their personality, but even feels as if it were extended by the symbiosis (which is why many DS9 Trills are eager to get one of the rare symbionts).
		In TNG, it does not appear to be a problem to implant the Trill symbiont into another host, although Beverly has performed this procedure never before and it is not sure whether a human host (Riker) would be compatible with the symbiont.
		Odan himself sort of lies to her at the beginning of the episode when he claims to be the former Odan's son, to keep the true nature of his species secret.

	The Host (TNG episode) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Given the importance of the Negotiations, and with the host dying Commander Riker agrees to be a body for the Trill, while his home planet sends a new host.
		To her horror and confusion the new host body is female (apparently the Trill have no preferences or hangups about whether their host is male or female).
		The episode is unclear why Crusher ended the relationship, and what are the cannon implications, in terms of sexual orientation and gender identity, of her plea for a day when humanities ability to love is not so limited.

	The Trill Problem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In TNG Odan and the female host shown at the end of the episode look quite different from the outer appearance of all Trills shown in DS9, including Jazia and Ezri Dax.
		Thus the new humanoid host does not really lose their personality, but even feels as if it were extended by the symbiosis (which is why many DS9 Trills are eager to get one of the rare symbionts).
		In TNG, it does not appear to be a problem to implant the Trill symbiont into another host, although Beverly has performed this procedure never before and it is not sure whether a human host (Riker) would be compatible with the symbiont.

	The Host - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
		Though no human has ever hosted a Trill symbiont before, Riker volunteers to be a temporary host, both to save the Trill symbiont and continue with the mission.
		Unlike future hosts of Trill symbionts Riker's personality appears to be completely gone while joined.
		This episode almost touches on the issue of homosexuality, although the ideas explored here would be featured in much more detail in the DS9 episode "Rejoined", which featured Trek's first same-sex kiss.

	Tim Lynch's Review of The Host
		Or rather, Odan's host body is critically injured--as it happens, the Trill are a joint species, and the "parasite" within the host body is the true Odan.
		The body dies, and a replacement host from the Trill is 40 hours away, far longer than Odan could survive alone, even in stasis.
		The change of hosts, however, becomes too much for Beverly, especially when she finds that the new Trill host is a woman.

	Trill
		First seen on Stardate 44821.3 in the TNG episode "The Host", the exotic symbiotic humanoids and particularly the subterranean invertebrates that they can act as host to are often subject to debates about personal identity.
		The knowledge and experiences of each host is retained by the symbiont, who shares it with a new host.
		The memories and lifetime of a previous host should not interfere with the duties and obligations of the new host.

		Herb Wright (formerly on the TNG writing staff) said that if they had gone through with "Dueling Q's," he could have gotten Arnold to head the rival team gathered by the female Q, stating that it would have brought a huge audience to that episode.
		TNG will try to stay away from so many sequel episodes in the future and will try to get back on the track of more science fiction and new stuff next season.
		TNG began broadcast in Italy on the national channel Italia 1 some time in the summer of 1992 (they showed a few season one episodes the previous summer, but stopped with no warning.

		In this episode, we see Susan Ivanova and Talia Winters finally appearing to be close (Ivanova's hatred of Psi Corps had previously biased her attitude toward Talia).
		And although this episode is about Talia leaving the show, her relationship to Ivanova is actually largely irrelevant in the overall plot.
		When Odan's host body was mortally wounded, Riker agreed to host the symbiont until a new host body could be delivered from the Trill homeworld.

		Due to a long friendship with Captain Picard, she was invited to serve as the host of the Ten-Forward lounge, a bar aboard the Enterprise-D where her wise counsel proved to be a valuable asset.
		Her species is long-lived (the TNG episode "Time's Arrow" reveals she lived on Earth in the late 19th Century), and they apparently have some powers beyond what is associated with humanoids.
		In the episode "Yesterday's Enterprise," she was able to sense that the reality they ended up in was not the proper flow of time, even though everyone else believed it to be the natural course of events.

		It has been mentioned at July 1992 conventions that Doohan is supposed to at least be in a TNG episode this upcoming season.
		At a 7/27/92 convention, Doohan said his episode would be filming from August 8-16 and the episode would involve some kind of transporter accident (in his time).

		If your station broadcasts TNG in stereo, yet, sometimes during the broadcast, the audio seems to disappear during the broadcast for a couple of seconds or seems to be coming out of the wrong channels, then you have a problem which can only be corrected at the broadcast station.
		The two-hour movie was shown as the first episode of TNG, the repeat was shown as a two-part episode.

		While Beverly struggles to accept the fact that the handsome man she fell in love with is actually a small purplish lump of tissue, the Enterprise contacts the Trill for a new host body for Odan.
		As the situation becomes critical, Worf announces that the host has arrived and Beverly is dismayed when he ushers in a beautiful young woman.

		When Dr. Crusher is in her quarters talking and pacing, you can see the boom pole reflected in the mirror, then the shadow of the boom mike bouncing on the wall behind her, and finally a light set up on her counter reflected in the mirror.
		Relating to the continuity between TNG and DS9, in this episode, it is said that the Federation knows very little about the Trill, they don't even know they are joined.
		However, since DS9 is set 2 years after this episode, Jadzia has graduated the academy by now and every officer takes routine medical tests where they would have found the symbiont even if she didn't tell them about it.

		The symbiant moves from host to host, but the Odan identity remains the same.
		The new host was a female, and although Odan still wanted to pursue a relationship with Dr.Crusher, Beverly was unable to cope with the constant changes that Odan goes through.

		The designation "Oberth-class" was devised by Michael Okuda, established in TNG episode's graphics and the Star Trek: Encyclopedia, and was first mentioned on the Tsiolkovsky's dedication plaque in the TNG episode "The Naked Now".
		He did not get a first and middle name, Miles Edward, until "Family." This episode also established in dialogue that he was a chief petty officer, although his rank insignia had read ensign or lieutenant junior grade for three years prior to that, a costuming mistake.
		The vessel's class was not stated in the episode.

		A comparison with the episode that aired a week earlier points up some differences in Odo's facial makeup and Kira's hair ("Past Prologue"), which had not yet made their evolutionary turn toward the look with which viewers are most familiar.
		Bay, who would reprise the role in the second-season episode "Whispers," has worked as a director, a producer, and a development person in the entertainment industry, but she may be best known to fans as the wife of actor Leonard Nimoy.
		The episode is also notable for establishing the close relationship between Odo and Kira, which would become increasingly significant as seasons passed, and for introducing the character of "plain, simple Garak," the mysterious Cardassian tailor.

		This episode is most well known for the exploding head of the human containing the body of the mother of the parasites.
		I consider the episode to be average in terms of quality, not great, but certainly not one of the weaker ones.
		As usual the Federation is still portrayed as a utopian organization, and the first episode to hint at a dystopian future fizzles because the humans are essentially blameless, so once again the Federation is uncompromised by human fear or greed.

	TNG Episode 96
		The Trill in this episode are totally different from the way they appear in DS9.
		These Trill have no spots, a built up forehead, and when the symbiont joins with the host it takes over the host personality completely.
		The hosts are clearly shown as sentient beings, yet their entire personality is completely overwritten by the symbiont.

	Paramount Responds
		It may be worth repeating our admonition to the executive producer of Babylon Five that a one-episode flirtation with a same-sex partner, which is immediately and permanentedly replaced by successive and repeated relationships with partners of the opposite sex does not reflect our understanding of bisexuality.
		The fact that there were no visible gay or lesbian crewmembers in TNG reduces the episode to a condescending exercise in hypocrisy.
		Thus, the TNG episodes "The Outcast" (about which I suspect the article you sent was written) and "The Host" both contain positive messages about tolerance and sexuality.

		And, similarly, TNG draws upon "the discourse of whiteness and the politics" of the 1980's and 1990's.
		During the Reagan and Bush presidency years, the TNG series was "neoconservative" in its values, according to Bernardi.
		The TNG episodes "The Host" and "The Outcast" represent bolder attempts to explore these issues and bigotry toward same sex unions.

		"The Perfect Mate" is the first of the two classic "Picard in Love" episodes from STNG, with an unforgettable conclusion that drives home once and for all the idea that Picard's choice of a career, as fulfilling as it might be, still speaks to some significant voids in the man's life.
		The Enterprise is serving as the host to a peace conference between the planets of Krios and Valt Minor.
		The main flaw I have with the episode is the ferengi, who should not have been trusted to roam the ship unescorted.

	The Nitpickers Site: Television Nitpick - Star Trek: Deep Space 9: General for Series
		In the TNG episode "The Host", Picard says that the Federaion doesn't know much about the Trills.
		Maybe it has something to do with why Odan (hosts, male and female) and Jadzia and all the DS9 Trills look differetn (Odan has a big forehead, Jadzia has spots).
		I know the real reson for the change was that Tery Farrell didn't look good with a big forehead but maybe the Odan Trills have other biological differences from spotty Trills that still enables them to be hosts, be they're not as stable as the others.
