This TNG episode aired right after "The best of both worlds". After that 2 parter, fans needed an episode to decompress (even though the ending of The best of both Worlds was a little bit of a let-down).

Well, since you mentioned Futurama, maybe "Where no Fan has gone before" should also be on this list of best Star Trek episodes???? I can watch that Futurama episode over and over again and continuously be rolling on the floor. And yes, Jurassic Bark gets me every time too. I'm fighting back the tears just thinking…

I wouldn't say amazing, but certainly underrated. Enterprise's best season was the last, which is interesting as if you look at the original concept, that 4th season was supposed to be the first. The producers made the writers change their concept. The writers knew better. I love that 4th season because it wraps…

Last year I gave up watching TV and watched every episode of Trek instead. I started out with the animated series, then DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, TOS, and TNG. There was a lot of good things in Voyager that I had forgotten. There are actually quite a few good Borg episodes. The one thing that I found very amusing…

The entire TNG series (framed by the first and last episodes with Q) had humanity on trial for this very reason.

*lol*

No, it is very common to slam Voyager.

Balance of Terror? A lot of people have said that this is their favorite (including a priest at my church). I personally think that making it #1 is overrating it, but I am happy to see all of my personal favorites in the top 10. Oh, and I would like to thank the author for NOT making this a slideshow. :>)

Hey, remember that time in the 24th century when Starfleet decided all the male officers had to wear short skirts? Man, that was crazy.

Who said it was going into an orbit? Perhaps this vehicle is intended to reach escape velocity.

Babylon 5 also said that Earth was unique because it had so many different cultures (implying languages as well). This is one of the things that made humans so important to the Minbari.

Right now the number of languages spoken on Earth is in decline. While there are 7000 languages, a language goes dead every two weeks. At this rate we will be down to one language in 269 years (the year 2830, which is pretty close to when TNG, DS9 and Voyager took place).

If "harmless" is defined as anything that wastes the patients time and money, then I have an alternative medicine for you: work hard, make lots of money and give it all to me. You will feel better (but not a good as I will feel).

" Put it to the test" means incredibly different things to different people," Wrong. It only means something "different" to people who do not understand the scientific method. The Scientific method is very specific and means only one thing. Propose a hypothesis, design an experiment to test it, perform the…

Yes. My next door neighbor (when I was a kid) was born deaf because her mother had the Measles while pregnant.

Because it is bad enough when children are not vaccinated by accident, poverty, etc. These children will be at risk if exposed to the diseased children of the idiots who are intentionally not vaccinating their children. The non-vaccinated represent a bio-hazard which must be eliminated.

So what. They still didn't answer the important questions: 1. Is global warming bad? 2. Is global warming worse than the alternatives associated with not burning lots of fossil fuels?

I thought that was true of everything that the military has. Heck, think of all those benefits that the soldiers get (volunteers get paid) — that benefits them more than the tax payers.

Ummm. . . My understanding is that the burning of Washington DC was in itself a diversion. The real invasion was the force coming down from Canada via Lake Champlain and the Hudson river. The plan was to take the river and NYC, split the US into two parts, and divide and conquer. Although Washington DC was the seat…

Umm. . . So would structures that have stood up for hundreds or even thousands of years (medieval city walls, most of the Coliseum, etc.) suddenly fall apart after 20?
