I love that every Sci fi show eventually does the "out of phase" episode, and I love seeing the fun twists and flavorings they use to make it "their" version.

Like Stargate sg1 and their crystal skull radiation and advanced dimension-shifting technology episodes.

And my personal favorite lampshading for this is actually from Stargate. in the in-universe parody show "Wormhole X-treme" one of the main character parodies asks "if I'm out of phase, why don't I fall through the floor?" and the response from the writer/director/producer/whatever he was, was something along the lines of "I'll have to get back to you on that"

I like to think that they did... a few inches... till their shoes hit the spinny-ma-thing gravity generator below the deck.

Don't even ask the harder question of why they were able to stay inside the ship as it moved.

Question for the writers or Q, not Picard.

Obviously, it has to do with basic operations of the main deflector dish polarising the outer hull and parts of the floors

Another question: How you fall down in space?
