not so great
B- seems about right. I really enjoyed the "justice beaver" line, and Erin freaking out over the ants. That was about it for me.

Isn't that the only law of reviewing?

Everyone seems to be ignoring the OP who pointed out that Troi did in fact announce that something was very wrong on the bridge.

OK, but really, if Vonnegut's satire is an aircraft carrier, Douglas Adams's is a Barbie Dreamcar.

I don't get it, are you guys suggesting that a big-budget animated feature about mute lesbian sister-wife ants would not be successful?

That's not how ants works.
Call me a joyless stickler, but I just couldn't get over the fact that the protagonist in "A Bug's Life" is a male worker ant. These do not exist. All worker ants are female. Male ants are winged drones that live only long enough to mate, and don't do anything else.

This episode actually made me laugh out loud. And I *never* laugh out loud at tv, even tv that I love.

It's only certain types of patterns that humans are better than machines at recognizing.

@Test Tube Monkey:
The thing is, time and again people who would misuse "whom" in the first place will prove similarly incompetent to apply the "he/him" test properly.

accusative!
Practical, universal lesson: if you have any doubt whatsoever about whether to use "who" or "whom" in a sentence, always use "who."

can it be that these two things really haven't been mentioned?
1) The frequent, unmentioned presence of The Head in their basement from now on is one of our most beloved callbacks. I love the unacknowledged absurdity of how they ever could have gotten it inside, much less into the basement, without demolishing the…

I liked "Unimatrix Zero" for that scene where the Borg Queen talks to some little brat who asks if being assimilated is fun, and she says, "…yes. It's fun."

look at me! i'm dancing CRAZY!
We got to see Summer Glau's dancing chops more recently in the first season of the ill-fated "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." She tracks a target by going undercover as a ballet student. Later, we see her dancing alone at home, raising interesting questions about whether the…

What kind of internet discussion dealie is this when so many conversations are happening and no one has yet mentioned the possessive and homophone mistakes?

Haven't watched it in a while, but I remember the Romulans making it explicitly clear that the drink-spilling was a programmed test response.

Your write-up is undeniably incomplete!
In all honesty, I don't think it's excusable to write up this episode without any mention (or even oblique reference) to Dustin Hoffman.

@The Tuck Pendleton Machine:

One might even say that the "peg" Noel's looking for is that Buffy feels free to do anything she wants when she doesn't have to see herself doing it.
