This is actually a real problem with real world astronauts and pilots dealing with pressure changes and g-forces. Silly as it may sound, it can kill you if not handled right. Also, the TAS Trip is awesome.

>PIC S3 was insulting because as described above it was a story about nothing. At least Nemesis tried to tackle some nurture vs nature themes. Picard S3 is so fucking hollow.
I don't know if I want to disagree with you, because PIC S3 was in fact very confused and aimless. I do think it had a few pearls in the swine-muck, namely:
>the resolution of Data and Lore was as Trek as you can imagine: victory by empathy
>Worf finding a path of peace that still marshaled his warrior sensibilies and discipline
>Riker coming out of the shadow of Picard and actually pulling some real rank
>Picard facing his decision to put Starfleet over family and the consequences of that
That said, I am in fact grasping at straws and will admit that. It was however more FUN than Nemesis - the actors seem to really feel like this is their last hurrah and have fun with it in a way that's palpable (especially the very last scene). Nemesis felt like them reading lines for a paycheck. My 2¢
