It's interesting that despite the existence of a world government by the 24th century there are still lingering traces of national identity. It's all kind of vague what kind of government system Earth really has, especially with that DS9 episode that establishes Earth doesn't really have a separate government and is

Didn't they do another one where Tuvok trains some of the no-name Maquis into being better officers?

I gotta say Nog here. He started out as just a throwaway character in the pilot and experiences one of the great character arcs on the show.

Seriously they should just turn this show into Flintstones with verisimilitude

I think they tried to mitigate it by showing Boylan creeping around in the background very suspiciously and smugly as if he did it

Especially with the Sixers around.

It's not like Terra Nova as it is really kicks ass in the ratings

Matters of justice are one thing. But how does the colony settle property disputes? Or liability claims? Or issues of patent or copyright? Does Taylor have to mediate even the most mundane of litigations as well?

So, no mention of the little girl getting a dinosaur for a pet? Yabba Dabba Doo!

A discussion of Plato's ideal of the Philosopher King would have been nice

wasn't there a recent magazine interview with Seth MacFarlane where he said he was kind of sick of Family Guy now and he wishes it would get canceled, but he'll make it as long as Fox wants it?

The Simpsons managed to get to a Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark joke only 4 days after South Park did it.

I dunno. The gag where the guy in the exosuit jumped into a bigger exosuit was pretty good.

The one in charge wouldn't be miserable since they'd have all the power and can do whatever they want because they control anything. They can sleep with anyone they want, and their position would be feeding their ego as well.

And Bill Compton's lawyer great-great-granddaughter whom he unknowingly banged on True Blood. And being a lawyer she was able to overlook the creepiness factor to argue that the genetic drift over the generations rendered any stigma over their relationship as moot, so they should continue. Bill, understandably,

I think the argument in favor if defeating Jasmine that true happiness and peace requires free will, or freedom if you will, and to deny free will is an inherent evil. The freedom of individualism is the inherent good.

She's married to Brandon Routh. Maybe Superman pulled some strings

Sheldon has been almost unbearably annoying the past few episodes
