The more I've thought about it, the more I like Worf and Troi:

The way that the Doctor casually, offhandedly mentions his granddaughter, when in previous episodes and incarnations the Doctor found it difficult to even admit he'd HAD a family, could be significant in a lot of ways.  For one thing, it could imply a change, a lightening in his character and attitude.  OR it could be…

Saw Green Day play "Johnny B. Goode" because we were in St. Louis, home of Chuck Berry.  Those guys have serious chops, so it was a great cover.

Everyone agreed that Netflix's new season of "Freaks and Geeks" was something of a mixed bag.

"Enterprise" actually did a much better version of that episode, called "Cogenitor."  One of the most heartbreaking episodes of the entire series, and one of the many that showcased why we needed a Prime Directive.

The Enterprise B is Excelsior Class, which got going during the Kirk movies.  Considering it's like a hundred years later, you'd think the Defiant could easily make hash of a ship like that.

I was of the opinion early on in DS9 that they were different uniforms for different divisions - TNG-style for Starships, DS9-style for Space Stations.  They even show in the first episode that Sisko starts with one and changes to the other when he arrives.

I read in one of the (not-exactly-canon) trade paperbacks that I bought at a garage sale that it's not EXACTLY treadmills… it's force fields.  Worf is explaining the holodeck to a visiting delegation and says that they create a force field a few centimeters off the floor that moves however much it needs to to match…

I always took that as Quark saying the ONLY three things he knew about human culture.

Again, if the reason for the taboo is to stop a small minority of joined Trill from ruling their whole society with all their joined buddies, then there's no problem with being pals with Sisko, or even fucking Worf.  Those guys are gonna die, and the symbiote will outlive them.  They don't care if Jadzia hooks up with…

It's cool, Murc - I remember how hard my life was before I learned to read, too.

Watch the WHOLE series.  By the end, "Enterprise" decided to steer into the skid and made the most referential and reverent of all the Star Trek series - there's no popular Trek actor they won't try to get, there's no popular storyline, planet, or character that they won't reference.  They made a sequel to "The…

Well, Buffy did handle that it was a "lesbian" romance with the subtext of the issue - they had to, because Buffy is set in the present day, so they threw in some subtextual clues that when they were talking about other things - dating werewolves or something - that love was more important than surface stuff.  On…

Really they could have made it work - as you've mentioned, DS9 is Star Trek's own "Island of Misfit Toys."  Separating Dax out from the Trill homeworld would have been a nice background addition to her character, which would have brought her in line with Quark, Worf, Garak, Odo, and Sisko as people who just exist…

THE THING WITH THE TRILL TABOO:  It's pretty obvious if you think about it, but if not everybody in Trill society has a symbiote, and the ones who do are pretty highly regarded, then forcing them to mingle with people stops them from consolidating a power base where the joined Trill create some sort of perpetual…

The Organians DO, however, show up in an episode of "Enterprise."  Because by the end of that show's run, they had more continuity porn than any of the other series put together.

"So I said to the doctor, 'you wanna put a pig's heart in me?  I thought too much pork was the problem in the first place!'  But seriously, I… I'm very ill."

"No, it's got to be stickier.  Paula Deen is going to use this for our sex-play later."
