Many thanks, @avclub-86a9ac7667ec45a86614223897b4f765:disqus.

Or, perhaps he's referring to the concept of fraternity in general?  If so, perhaps he could elaborate on how it applies?

That took me a while, but well done.

Frakes usually only shows up for his story, and to thank people for liking his story.  I find the rare occasions that he shows up in another friend extra-special.

Unfortunately, those are out of stock.  Would you settle for a Mario Lopezbot?

'My Pretty Pony in a leather vest'.

As it turns out, the memory of Juliana has vanished…  like tears, in rain.

Hmmm…  the Starfleet probably has Tom Hanks on speed dial for these eventualities.

Reaching back to my TNG Tech Manual days!  During TNG, Warp 10 represented infinite speed.  Going Warp 10 would require infinite power output, and you would be at every point in the universe simultaneously.  So, you can't go Warp 10, you can only approach it.  I think the Enterprise can go Warp 9.3 for like five…

I do like 'Often Wrong has a broken heart; he can't tell his kids apart!'

Hmmm…  I like your ideas, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

True, but the Animated Series episode in which Mudd had tribbles was pretty good.

Am I the only one that doesn't understand this post?

Huzzah!  I love this column.

Oh, yeah?  Than how come the Voyager shrinks to about a quarter of its usual size whenever it lands?  Is that also due to the moving nacelles?

Top shelf, Prole Hole, but I would make edit - The theory is that whenever Riker appears onscreen, he's either drunk or he's hungover.

Heck, Data's been around for at least 30 years before TNG; who's to say that he wasn't Casandroidanova at Starfleet Academy?

There's one major moment of stupidity in that episode, though, that threatens to overwhelm the otherwise strong plot.  Apparently, Starfleet warns their captains of the presence of Omega particles by plastering a still of the Greek letter omega on virtually every monitor on the bridge.  In the 24th Century, they can…

Wasn't that part of Space Joe Piscopo's act?

Is that why they moved?  I never got that.  Anyway, I thought it was stupid then, and think it's stupid now.  If that's the way the ship's supposed to look when it goes into warp (or doesn't damage the space or whatever), why don't you just leave the ship in that design configuration?
