It is a plot point in Generations that he can't remove it so it implies he can't turn it off then. And @avclub-4b287f908bc71183ecd837b69d417c1a:disqus is right that by First Contact they must have come up with a way to turn it off. And hey, look! Geordi has sweet new eyes!

Maybe that's the point to the end of the film that shall not be named. That we, and the rest of the characters, feel such emotion for a character who should have none. Even though right in the middle of the emotional crux of that…movie my rational brain stepped in and said "It's cool, they just got that other Data."

Word on the street, or Memory Alpha, is they didn't want the titles to distract over the running gun fight. Gotta make those early 90's opticals count!

Kim did die in an episode and it had no affect on the plot. It's the one where he's transported to some dimension where our dimension is their afterlife. At the end Janeway gives him a few days off because he died. There's your plot!

I always wanted 'Riker' to say "Captain Picard doesn't want me around anymore since I blew up his ship." Ever heard of modulating a deflector Will?

Hey!

I don't even have to click on that link to know it's Riker "exploring the unknown."

Sounds like a class of damn dirty Kohms!

This might be a little too real for the AV Club, but I know Chris Ayers. I'll see him this week. I'll be sure to mention the internet was talking about him. Probably just point him here. He said he's been similarly obsessed with IJ so you're in good company.

I found both seasons at a good price and snapped them right up, even though I've seen them live and multiple times through the Instant Queue. Didn't matter, I wanted to support the series and check out some special features.

"Hey HEY! This is my kind of party!"

I'm also a big fan of trying to sneak in "Last time on MacGyver, MacGyver, MACGyver, MACGYVER!" whenever possible. You'd be surprised how many opportunities there are!

I thought Crusher just got too close to the star's radiation too fast to engage a tractor beam. I only nitpick because I was thinking the same thing. Even though maybe Worf could have just closed the shuttle bay door…

@ Mrs. Peel Does she run the speakeasy through the bowling alley?

@Chartex I know the feeling. I got the DS9 set a while ago and I was religiously into Star Trek for all my life, but the escalation of work, school and probably Voyager I found myself drifting away. I was incredibly into DS9 and have memories of every episode but around season 7 I just sort of missed some episodes. So…

Fubar is right! Rainbow Brite is hotter based on a Halloween party I once attended!

I just assumed in 1985 he still had the hots for Marty's mom. Also when my friends and I watched the original last weekend we were real concerned as to why George let's his wife's would be rapist into their home. "Oh that Biff, always a con man…and date rapist…"

WE'VE GOT A REAL SLOBBERKNOCKER ON OUR HANDS!!!

Any chance Walter is playing just a long con with Hank as Gus is with Jesse? Now I agree Walt's drunken relevation had everything to do with his fatal flaw of pride. We saw how revitalizing taking control can be for Walt so losing Jesse, Hank's 'respect' and any decision making ability he has with his real life with…

I watched the original last night…
With some friends who hadn't seen it in a long while. I got to point out my favorite little easter egg when Marty goes to the past from Twin Pines Mall, runs over one of the old farmer's pine trees, and when he returns the mall has changed to Lone Pine Mall. It's the little touches…
