That was a little odd, as is the whole Worf/Troi thing. Since that part of the plot started in the main timeline as well as extending into the future timeline, It should fit into the rest of the continuity for the series and TNG movies. But it kinda comes out of nowhere, and goes nowhere. The last we heard of the…

Just want to add my voice to the chorus; Thanks, Zack!

C-3PO = Barclay annoying and somewhat effeminate, screws stuff up 90% of the time, but manages to save the day the other 10%

Excellent point. That's exactly why I think it would have been the better movie. In "All Good Things" you've got a more challenging story*, but ultimately a more rewarding story that makes more sense on it's own. On the other hand Generations is a crappy story that has the thinnest relationship to what made TNG best…

I've been thinking about the plot hole that Zack describes a bit in the last couple of days, and I've come to the conclusion that it's probably best not to think about it too much… because the only logical explanation that I can think of is that that the future Picard really WAS imagining all of it, and created the…

Just gotta say this is probably
one of my favorite TV series finales of all time (the only other one that comes
to mind at the moment is The Prisoner, but “All Good Things…” is many times
more coherent than that). In addition to being an entertaining episode on its
own merits, it brings the ensemble together in a story…

I think it's sarcasm, with an implied callback to the fact that Patsy's brother died at the hands of the same "Family" to which Tony refers.

Yeah, they definitely know by then. Noothing else would explain the dramatic shift in their attitude towards him. I'm not sure how they'd have come by this information at this point, but I'll chalk it up to dramatic license. Maybe Tony told Sil that he was going to take care of it the night before and Sil let the guys…

And perfect directing / editing of the FBI guys coming out of the woods, too. You can see them just long enough in the first shot over Johnny's shoulder that you realize some sort of shit's about to come down, but not so long that you get the chance to figure out what's going on. It may only draw out the tension for a…

I might've spooked Christopher. He's used to looking over his shoulder, and all of the mobsters seem pretty aware of when they're being followed. The way it played out, there was still a slim chance of him flipping when he went to the gas station. If he had seen an FBI car on his way out of his building he'd have run…

Sure, I get the need to avoid grade inflation. But a black-and-white, no A+ policy is a silly response to a valid concern.

Absolutely! when my wife and I watched this during the original run the whole sequence had us both on the edge of our seats (and she's not one to get wrapped up in gangster stories to begin with). I truly had no idea whether or not Christopher was going to strangle her right then and there, if she'd flip him, he'd…

this whole anti- A+ policy is getting a bit ridiculous. I mean, what's the point of not giving an A+ if the writer in question clearly believes that it's deserved and is going to say so in the comments anyway. I guess it's not really anything to get all worked up about, because we all know there are certain episodes…

It's just caffeine. Switch to Vivarin or no-doze and you'll save about 90 cents on the dollar.

Say what you will about those commercials, but the first thing that popped into my head when I read your comment was "Call 1-800-general NOW". So I guess they're doing something right….

Nah, the point is that the commercials have to be louder than the programs to be a nuisance. If they turn the volume up on everything we'll naturally just turn the volume up less to begin with.

Yeah, but it's a bit too risky to kill the boss's daugther's boyfriend. Obviously he's not a made guy or anything, but if he's close enough to Meadow for Tony to pull some strings to get him the job, I'd think twice about it. Clearly Paulie feels the same way…

I liked just about everything in the Joel / Julia / Sydney plot this week. Zeek's an ass for running over to their house just to call them out on Sydney's behavior, but that's typical Zeek for you. And you know he was going to get his revenge sooner or later after getting smacked down by Joel a couple episodes ago.

I'm voting for Kristina for letting that little shithead have a peice of her mind. And for calling him out on that ridiculous Bieber haircut. How can kids these days even see where the fuck their walking?

Agreed. After buying a house at the top of the market 8 years ago, I think it's about time these kids learned the brutal truth about the real estate market. When my kid lands on Boardwalk after I've built it up with all 4 hotels I'm taking him for all he's got.
