It was a bit up the thread, but I agree that Vash did look strange and gaunt on DS9. Serious crow's feet.

Other shows
How about Dr. Quinn - Medicine Woman? amirite?

What about The Savage Curtain? Kirk, Spock, Vulcan Jesus, and Abe Lincoln fight Genghis Kahn, Kahless, and two other baddies.

That is indeed a great compilation. Coincidentally, it contains the original Fredric Brown Story Arena that was adapted for the TOS episode. No Gorn lizards though. The "Outsiders" in Brown's Arena appeared more like Arthur Porges's the Ruum than the Gorn.

"I have Klingon blood and Dowd DNA!"
"I am on a drug, and its called Will Riker. It's not available."

The actor who plays young Picard also plays Rene in Family.

Missouri Senator Roy Blunt clearly has Romulan origins.

In Descent, Dr. Crusher used the metaphasic shields that the Ferengi Dr. Reyga developed in Suspicions. However, this does not explain why they weren't ever mentioned again.

Warp core ejection system.

DS4 got sent back in time to serve as a base in the shadow war.

Agreed that the reviews are fantastic. I must, however, offer one correction. The Romulan ship would have been a Warbird, Bird of Prey is a Klingon ship, unless of course you are watching Balance of Terror. And now, having shown that I have no life at all, can finally get back to work.

I second Thine Own Self as a decent Troi episode.

For your consideration

Of course he was the villain. He had the goatee. Riker with full beard=good. Riker with goatee=bad.

Gowron always seemed to have a bit of a Napoleon complex going on, being all short and all. I can't put my finger on it.

I'm just glad I wasn't the only one getting the Linda Hamilton vibe.

Weyoun, Leeta, Quark, Brunt, Eddington, Kai Winn, all more interesting than Bashir, Dax, and Kira. I will, however, in keeping with the character scoff heartily at any notion that Odo is not an amusing character.

What about the matriarchal space gypsies from the Gamma Quadrant in season 2 of ds9? They (the women) looked like they stole their hairdresser from a Centauri.

Troi senses Data's emotions in Descent. So at least a some level (I suspect at the level that the writers needed to move the story along and explain why Data was holding a gun on them) she is able to sense emotion from a mechanical/AI being. Though I can think of no other time in the series when she was able to do…
