Certainly there are raises and/or bonuses handed out for huge page views.

Oh, sweetie. Global warming isn't a liberal media conspiracy backed up by psuedo-science. Basically all scientists back it up the same way they do evolution or gravity. Nice misrepresentation, though. "E" for effort and all that.

Spot, unter! Unter! Unter ist gut!

It will never cease to tickle me that Data was being giggled at about his robo penis and possible Troi fucking by a woman in a turtleneck, ankle length dress with long sleeves and a Victorian hairdo. Can someone tell me what the message is here?

Harrell Yeah! http://www.graceharrell.com…

I think the rotting bodies of puppies should be used to power our automobiles! Who could disagree with that!

Sorry, I'm account skipping again, apparently. I don't know how to control it.

You're absolutely right. There is a feeling this is very important and yet so little time is spent on it that it's disrespectful. And I did notice that you don't even see the Flemming. It would have been cool to see it's engines power up and flash and some kind of shock wave fly out of it. A really odd (budget?)…

I thought it was well done (the 30 minutes of it that were not the cat). Anything other than a fundamental tech wouldn't have had any impact. What they should have done is expressly said they found a solution at some point in the series so that we can all breath easy. But even looking at AGT as the last true moment of…

This is kind of answered in "Offspring". Data is technically perfect in his proficiency. All he needed to do was copy his own brain, and still Lal died. Obviously there is something Soong could do that others can't replicate.

There was an episode of Diff'rent Strokes where this woman shows up claiming to be the boys' biological aunt and then throws her back out in an effort to take advantage of Mr. Drumond. And the whole time she's spouting stuff about her past with the boys that they can't remember. This is all I could think about during…

Yes and no. I do have plenty good insurance. But the Italian hospital was pretty cheap. And out insurance paid us back most of it.

It depends on whether the writers can pull it off or not. TNG writers couldn't. Also, JL/Bev love is not "will they, won't they". It's more like "They'd like to, but they won't." I prefer that for them.

I don't really want them together, though. Requited love usually bogs things down. It makes people a little too happy and satisfied. I guess I prefer my space heroes and heroines frustrated.

Strange this wasn't mentioned: The whole "Troi gets raped by a telepathic ambassador" trope is completely subverted here. In any other episode Maques would have been the perp. He even shows up sinisterly before a break and menaces De before returning to adorable Italian tourist mode.

No, it turned out ok. But there was a hospital stay and lots of anti-biotics.

They need vocal cords to scream "AAAAIIIIIEEEEEEE!" when they fall off a cliff.

You're self referencing. You can't use the bad work of a writer to prop up their other bad work. If you could find outside sources of this kind of thing working then you're on your way to a good argument.

I'm going to give Attached a pass and call it a "great" episode. As you said, Zack, it's possibly the only adult moment in the entire franchise. Certainly the only one where the romance isn't juvenile or forced, but rather subdued, melancholic, and serious. It could be because this is a Roddenberry dynamic and, like…

Do you have kids now? I do. That episode touches me now in a way it didn't as a 15 year old. My kid actually fell into the canal in Venice while we weren't looking. She stepped on the slimey step and went right in. That could have been us.
