You don't want to end up old and alone LIKE ZOIDBERG!

Congratulations, Marina.
Now that Wesley is no longer a part of the regular cast, Troi officially becomes the worst character on the show.

"The First Duty" if I'm not mistaken.

Time heals all things, Deeds. Except for these crazy eyes.

"Bingo."
(picks up Bingo card from desk drawer)

I'd say it's worth watching in a marathon, but then again I've done that with seasons of Mad Men. The show doesn't rely on cliffhangers, but the episodes always wrap up brilliantly, leaving you wanting more.

It's a Living
Best baptism/murder ever filmed, if you ask me.

The Comfy Chair
Wait a minute. You're telling me you did a write-up on this episode and didn't point out the references to "Some Like It Hot"? When Jonathan is caught dressing in drag at the spa, he explains he was "trying to look like Tony Curtis". When the dermatologist (Greg from FotC) is told that his…

Masturbation and strangling small animals.
Ay, if that ain't a sharp tug on the short & curlies.

The Zinc Stoat of Budapest
Rooker eats a big chocolate-covered pretzel for taking such a shitty role.

the Toad Elevating Moment
This episode was indeed toned-down, but this is one of those rare shows that can do so and somehow still be riveting. I watched last week's episode immediatelt prior to this one, and what a wonderful two hours it was.

Man, I heart me some Flying Circus.

Forty-two years I've been in the regular army and I've never heard that phrase.

No-Time Toulouse
Michael Piller, who wrote "Best", had only been hired to write for season three. Thinking he wouldn't have to write the conclusion, he felt free to write himself into a seemingly impossible corner. Kinda reminds me of the first season of Lost, except TNG only got better after this point.

On a non-TNG note (although an equally nerdy one)
nice user name Mr. Luxury-Yacht. Or shall I say, Throat Wobbler Mangrove.

Picard vs. the Space Mutants
As far as "Paris" goes, it was always a little far-fetched when the show delved into the romantic entanglements of Jean-Luc Picard. The only time it ever really made sense was in season six's "Lessons", when he plays his "Inner Light" flute with the piano lady.
