I hate 'A Night In Sickbay' with a passion, and prefer to pretend that it is in the same realm as a certain movie that shall not be named.  The show's continuity actually is significantly improved by ignoring it.

These are getting to be less funny and more disturbing.

Not the Scimitar!  That cloak is PERFECT.

It also was never mentioned again, as per the terms of the treaty.

So did Seven, apparently.

The problem with Jadzia (and this is a minor one) is her inconsistency over the course of the series.  In the first two seasons, she's played as a wise elder statesman, and in later seasons becomes a bawdy action hero.  I don't think the latter really worked until Worf showed up.

I recall from the episode commentary that they had to get permission from James Cromwell to use his footage from First Contact, even though Cromwell didn't shoot anything new for 'In a Mirror, Darkly'.

Agreed.  The montage really worked, in a way the rest of the episode did not.

Zack: I think your comment on Pegasus 'Even knowing how Enterprise ended, that sounds bizarre,' is ambiguous.  Have you seen the much-reviled final episode of Enterprise, "These are the Voyages"?

I never found Mr. Bean funny in the slightest.  Different strokes for different folks, I guess.  I'm sure some people enjoy that kind of pratfall, but not me.

I'm almost certain you pressed 2!

If you want to see Worf engage in a deadly hand-to-hand struggle with the Jem'hadar, press 1!

What about Mudd's women, eh?  What happened to them?

Scruffy ain't never seen you neither.

It's almost as though Star Trek has sparked nigh-fanatical devotion, interest, and analysis.

As much as I like consistency and coherence in my sci-fi fantasy worlds, some things are better off left ambiguous.

"I promise."

Has 'e-bating' just become our new meme?

Well, they sort of had 'go for broke' concepts with both Voyager and DS9.  (The difference is that DS9 ultimately successfully exploited its concept and Voyager did not.)  I don't think they would necessarily have to have gone for broke with TNG.  In many ways, 'All Good Things' is conventional TNG down to the reset…

Once upon a time, back when I was an exchange student in Germany, this old lady said to me 'Even a blind farmer can find a fat potato.'  It apparently was a common epigram in that region.  She refused to believe my protestations that I had no idea to what that could possibly refer.
