eff, JJ.  Just woke up the baby thanks to that comment.  My wife is going to kill me.

oh shit!  I thought that suicide paid off as long as it wasn't immediately after the policy was taken out?

I still maintain they could have packed it into an episode if they didn't have that spot stuff and the climax wasn't getting out of the corridor, but rather overcoming some smarmy starfleet economics guru who insisted the science wasn't true…

thirded.

To be clear, Im not disagreeing about the narrative; it's a bit of a mess and season 7 is poor thus far.  I"m just saying that i was all geared up to discuss the profound challenge of environmental protection when something as vital as warp drive (aka fossil fuel) is found to be damaging.

it _should_ merit an entire episode, and i dont think it needed a lot of technobabble either. People understand the idea of environmental damage.  I think a more political look at the resistance to the notion that warp drive is damaging would have been interesting…

I think it's interesting how quickly Zack and others lay aside the environmental allegory in favor of narrative analysis or concerns about how it fits into the broader universe.  I mean, in CoC, people were all over the message about torture (and nobody bemoans that we dont hear about Jellico or Galorndon Core…

yikes!  glad you are ok RJr!

yeah what was that all about?

then again, seeing picard get all apocalyptically jealous of a candle would be pretty great.

haha, described this way, it's actually a lot like every story ever told.

What _do_ people like about Star Trek?  I don't know that we've ever explored that in a deliberate, direct way.

do we have any sense of how long trek (esp DS9) will be up on Neflix?  I want to wait and watch them with Zack's reviews, but not if they're being taken down in January or whatever…

That would be Patch Adams.

Have you any idea how it feels to be a fembot

Nemesis was just on Showtime.  I watched it for the first time in a decade.  Wow.
