Well, metaphorically, my cornflakes are my expectation that an avclub review will contain even a slight hint of insight into the main theme of what is being reviewed, particularly when it is as pregnant (pun intended, if I'm being honest) as the intersection of motherhood and Christmas as was present in this episode…

That the person who wrote this piece should shove half a brick in their mouth and dive face first into an empty pool off the 12 meter platform? That doesn't seem to really be in the spiritof the season, tosay something like that!

Umm, there is at least some indication that it isn't fake.

Hahah, the lady who was sexually assaulted from a young age, married at twenty to a domestic abuser totally has rich people Charlie Sheen problems!

Black Turtleneck and Weird Cultural Imperialism
Basically, Worf gets to go to an isolated minority community and foist upon them his weird, noble-savage based cultural identity, blunted as it has been by the Federation's stifling monoculture, then having the temerity to claim that it is the ONLY valid version of…
