I remember when there was a rumour he was going to review a sci-fi comedy and people were saying IT'S RED DWARF! and I was like… really?

Oh god Ex Astris. I haven't been there in years. I used to be a regular poster on a website that Bernd Schneider also frequented. Wonderfully, intimidatingly nerdy guy.

They even share a writer besides Moore - while Michael Taylor is more beloved here for his DS9 work ("The Visitor" and "In The Pale Moonlight" are both credited to him, even if Moore did an uncredited rewrite of the latter) he was actually more prolific on Voyager.

Which like Breakfast on Pluto is a Neil Jordan movie.

I rewatched it last year because BLU-RAYS!

The weird thing is that basic idea was around for a while. The moment the writers started doing Ferengi feminism episodes they were saying 'well obviously at some point Quark or Rom need to put on a dress.'

It was a casting sheet call. They specifically asked for someone who could walk like a stripper. I am not making this up.

All I'll say is it's titled Fade In and is available in doc format.

Jane Campi - oh you mentioned her. Hmph. I'm going to say Haifaa al-Mansour, just because.

He explicitly stated what Voyager should be like in an interview after he left his very brief stint on the show, and it's like a blueprint for what BSG would be.

Most people don't know what? That genocide doesn't imply extinction? I think most people are familiar with genocide as it pertains to Jews, and are probably also aware that Jewish people are still around.

Using Memory Alpha is cheating! In the old days I memorized the Star Trek: Encyclopedia, watched episodes a dozen times a day, and sometimes took notes!

They were just kids and now they're dead. Nog's sentiment is pretty understandable.

If anyone here has ever looked at @LurkyMcLukerson's avatar and thought, 'well, what an attractive lady!'

Braga actually wrote a series of nonsensical evolution episodes, in Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise. It's one of his hat trick ideas he kept returning to (the other big one is time travel, and reality not making sense - the last of which is the strength of what I feel is his best episode, TNG's "Frames of…

The thing about Star Trek is: It often involves a lot of suspension of disbelief. Not just about science, but the logic of its own setting. My favourite episode is "The Measure Of A Man," and there's about a dozen things about its setup that don't make a lot of sense but that doesn't matter because those deliberate…

Behr definitely was a more primary creative force on DS9 than any other writer, but it was also very much an ensemble writer's room kind of show.

Crusher was the one compared to a stripper, not Troi. But all three women were thought of in sexualized terms. Yar was actually the only one not introduced as defined by her relationship to a man (Troi was Riker's ex, Crusher is Wesley's mother and Picard's potential love interest.)

Her Earthsea novels have been done. Twice. Let us not speak of it.
