(insert obligatory observation that US TV did try to reboot Dr Who in the 1990s, and it was an interesting failure)

The Dominion were interesting because they were a dark mirror of the Federation. Though they sort of lost that aspect over time as the writers became more interested in the Changeling mythology.

Jaynes' bicameral humans would have been nothing like the Borg. But the idea would make for a fun Star Trek episode. "Jim! This man has no corpus callosum!"

It's a theory, since it purports to explain a lot of facts. It's just not a plausible or testable one.

Yeah, what makes the Borg creepy is the way that you can still recognize the individual after they've been assimilated. The Cybermen don't have the same impact, because they all look alike.
Also, what made the Borg such a threat was their adaptability, a trait the Cybermen don't really display much (until the Gaiman…

I like this and I am not a dad.

I think they're great. Actually, I think Lauren Mayberry is great. I'm not sure what the blokes do. The songs that they sing aren't very good, and when I saw them in concert, the one guy's job appeared to be hitting the space bar on his computer over and over again while writhing spastically.

Not that I really disagree with you, but it's an odd comment to make on a review that pairs JonBenet with Rodney King.

Donald Trump endorses this sentiment.

Except for the "young" part.

Put on your stockings, baby; this review is cold!

Dear "The Americans": I know the entrance to Rock Creek Park at 16th and Aspen. And that was not the entrance to Rock Creek Park at 16th and Aspen.
