OK, that was eerie. I just was at the Deep Space Nine The Siege/Invasive Procedures review and then I came to this page and the photo for both is almost exactly the same, just with different characters in the same positions (male foreground female background)

Yes, I know all that. I'm making a distinction between the production explanation and the more fun in-universe continuity rationalization

I understand the excuse, I just think it's sometimes an excuse for laziness.

Nice reference to Billy Baldwin's marriage to Chyna Phillips with the Lance Drake Mandrell callback claiming he broke up Wilson Phillips

Midway through the episode, one of Jenna's fuck-it list items was "A Supreme Court Justice, Liberal" and by the end of the episode it was checked off. Did she bang Breyer or get some lady lovin' on with Sotomayor?

I saw it a few months ago, and I saw Returns again around the same time, when the Blu-ray boxed set came out,  and I didn't say I was partial to it in an objective sense, (and indeed, there is no arguing that Returns is not a better made film in terms of its production values) but meant to say that only the fact that…

Yeah, Reeve was great at that.

That seems to be the implication. I'm just skeptical that there's no possibility of finding a medical way to reverse the effect.

As far as requesting the Defiant to fight the Borg, I think they've established that Earth is days if not weeks away from Bajor, so I'm not sure about how much lead time Starfleet would have had to prepare for the Borg attack by summoning the Defiant.

Well, obviously I'm describing an alternate situation which would have led to something very much different than First Contact. I'm not saying that the show is weaker from having never explored that connection between Sisko and the Borg. Far from it. I just think that, had things gone a little differently, it might…

True in an evolution of the franchise sense. After TNG ended and the writers that stuck with the franchise were split into the two new shows, it can't be as easy as saying the good writers just happened to go to DS9 and the bad ones just happened to go to Voyager, and that's why there's a quality gap. I think there…

I was never quite convinced why a good enough doctor, like Bashir, couldn't figure out a way to save an otherwise healthy host from bleeding to death. It looks as if there's just one little tube connecting the host and symbiont which, medically, shouldn't be too difficult to control (even if all they do in the interim…
