Well, to be fair, you have to get through the first season before the storylines start hooking you. And Spike and Dru and Angelus are a big part of that. So Leonard just has to get her to keep watching until Spike shows up, and then she'll get in line.

SPOILERS

well, there were plenty of spoiler warnings in the original posts, but I'll add some for the sake of caution.

Well, I'm looking at it more from the point of view that the writers see the stardate system rather loosely, and it's never been well defined within the context of the show, so that if we assume Garak served the full six months, then Kassidy would have gotten out quite a while ago.

So, it's easy to note that Kassidy's six-month prison term began before Garak's, yet he seemed to get out first.

STILL MORE SPOILERS

Rewatched Let Him yada yada. Not their finest hour. Dumbest move of the week has to be Pascal Fullerton attempting to bitch-slap Worf for pretty much no reason. Isn't that like declaring a fight to a death to a Klingon? Anyway, not a big shock he gets tossed across the room for his efforts.

I think the idea was to put more emphasis on the idea of the rogue Federation personnel conducting a false flag operation, rather than make it look like the Klingons were trying to kill the Federation president, which negates the whole peace theme of the movie. Also, given that the assassin probably wasn't expecting…

I guess it's also a slight callback to Star Trek 6. Remember Kurtwood Smith played the Federation president and Rene Auberjonois played Col. West, who had one scene briefing the president that was cut out of the movie but is on the DVD version (which set up the terrible ending that revealed the Klingon assassin was…

Well, if Starfleet controls the weather net on the planet, and Worf is the highest-ranking Starfleet official on the planet, wouldn't he have some authority to shut it down?

Well, DS9's would have come first.

OK, I haven't seen the episode in a while, and I'm really not in the mood to watch it now, but I think the point is less about not needing Starfleet, and more about becoming complacent because of an over reliance on them. Like Federation citizens think that Starfleet will always be there to protect them, but they…

The breaks between seasons usually amount to about 3 months on the show.

Yeah, it seems like there needed to be a story that explained just why the Bajorans think Odo is above a rep as a collaborator. Like maybe there was a high profile case where he proved it wasn't Bajorans at fault for something. Or he was helping the resistance behind Dukat's back or something (via his crush on Kira).

Yeah, the acting and makeup in Emissary is a bit off, but I think it's easily the best-written of the pilots. It sets up everything the show would need and most of the themes it will explore throughout the run of the show, and it has some great character templates right off the bat. Plus, extra points for Sisko…

Well, the Enterprise pilot does have future guy and time travel elements, which should be close enough, right?

I'm trying to decide if referring to Chakotay as Chipotle even qualifies as racism. Because it's freaking hilarious.

And the rocks would randomly shift as you climb them

Fox didn't pull a Family Guy episode from it's schedule. The episode already aired. Fox just pulled it down from sites that stream the episode after it airs. Not that it's going to get rerun any time soon

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised the review didn't note the parallel. I remember distinctly when the show was first on that it was pretty obviously a flip to Necessary Evil, with the focus on Odo instead of Kira this time.
