One thing that makes this episode not work is absolutely everything else.

People rushing round with no time to spare.
I'm so dizzy,
I'm neither here nor there.
In this traffic jam,
I just want to shout,
Let me off o' this English roundabout

I, however am Votre Dieux des Ronds Points (moi, et Seven)!

They are in a Deux Cheveaux on a roundabout and they meet their first Volvo…

Once again not Yes (no!), XTC (YES!)!

If you've even bee going around the Arc de Triomph, you know the dark side, but yes, they are much better from both beauty and logical planning POVs..

God how he loved that spider.

Yes, but she's also a woman, so she doesn't know how to give a guy his space and never stops talking. It's scientifish fact.

In Keiko's space, no one can hear you scream…

Sheesh, who didn't?

Erm.. That's not the foreplay, @Automocar:disqus , more like the Klingon money shot…

@avclub-23dc117ef9479407fb6c6a666005af40:disqus : Haven't you ever seen an actor in a well-written piece where it just didn't work? And then in another, she was really great? Did she learn to act in between? sometimes magic work, and sometimes it doesn't, and this is why directing is 80% casting.

Can someone please tell me when people started bleeding profusely from disruptor and phaser fire?
Time was you glowed pink and disappeared without a trace;. Seems to get pretty bullety-hollow-pointy just for gore's sake pretty fast in here…

I enjoyed 'For the Battle…' in it's 'All Quiet ofn the Red Badge of Bajor' sort-of way, but it is hard for me not to feel that it isn't a bit needlessly severe  almost to the point of tearing the fabric of Trek's contract with it's audience…

Par'mach Makers 'R' Us!

The DS9 Boat, Soon will be making another run
Defiant, promises Par'mach for everyone!

Doubtless been noted, but it was "..balls brush his knees…"

What Iron discipline you must have in order to be able to not look ahead! If I had the first four episodes in advance copy, they'd have lasted a bit less than four hours before I was watching them for the second time…

I made a little film where we asked Clint Eastwood to speak about his film debut in Francis the Talking Mule.. We understood how they got the mule to talk, we said, buthow did he turn the pages of the script?

You misunderstand and wound me, @avclub-bd847fd835b2c6025557898b6aff7b2d:disqus …
