Hey there, people not just calling me an asshole? How the hell do I respond to that?
My posts tone is merely an expression of exasperation at the deification of the man. I didn't care for him for the reasons I've outlined.

I've only ever seen TNG on UK television, and I seem to remember seeing all as described. May not have been original runs though…later repeats. And I don't think there's that much censorship of American violence in transported media. The BBFC have loosened their belts considerably since the 80's heyday of 'video…
Yeah, read it again. I know Bills dead, I even said so… My point was that they shouldn't have killed everyone off that I cared about. Curtis is dead too. This is why I said "…who in my head is now Secretary for Defense or something…"
That's cool.
