There's a lot to love about "Cause and Effect." The fetching but elusive Ensign Ro Laren is in it. Generous amounts of drive plasma are vented from the starboard warp nacelle - always good. The writers actually give Dr. Crusher something useful to do for a change, and Kelsey Grammer makes an awesome, beyond-random cameo as the captain of the other ship. Plus, the whole conceit is brilliant. It's like one of Philip K. Dick's epistemological passion plays: we watch the same scenes four times, almost word for word, and they mean something slightly different each time...
...matured beyond the college pastimes of pounding cup after cup of frecklejuice and then going home and binging on superfudge until we pass out? No, no way, those things are going to be fun forever.

There was one nettlesome problem: though they had plenty of experience growing grapes, they did not know how to make wine. In the Modesto public library, Ernest found a pair of two-page pamphlets, one on fermentation and the other...
...wineries use. Just follow the directions, and in four to six weeks you can be uncorking wine from your own château or apartment. To move beyond kits to get the whole grape-stomping experience, you have to spend at least an additional $400 to buy the basics: grape crusher, strainer, press and barrel...
