Someone else on this thread said they did one this past season. I stopped watching around Season 5 so I can't verify it.

In Defense of Clip Shows
They did serve a sort of purpose before we had TiVo, hulu and DVDs up the yin-yang. You couldn't see a favorite scene from a favorite episode anytime you wanted back then.

I thought the woman that played Ellen did a pretty great job in 2Shy. Also, the woman who played her neighbor later played the female patient/friend in the horrible Roland episode.

Geoffrey Lewis (Tithonus) is Juliette Lewis's father.

Straying more and more from the TNG theme here: my cousins and I played two highly serialized games…one called Deadly Yours, an action adventure involving cops and spies in which we ran around in character (-ish…my "character" was named Jennifer O'Neill). The other was Strider Team, a space drama involving good…

Bad Horse, your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

The only episode in which I didn't mind Alexander was Reunion, and that's because he had only a line or two. Every other one….yikes. The Mud Bath ep….TRIPLE yikes.

Captain Worf
I thought that scene was TREMENDOUS - easily one of my favorite short scenes in all of TNG. Worf in his full command regalia, Plakson as first officer, I mean for reals - they oozed Bad Ass. Bittersweet though, as it was all a literal dress-up game for poor Worf, since at least for the remainder of TNG…

The only thing about Troi in the later seasons was that she REALLY overdid it with the collagen in her lips. It was worst in the ep where she hallucinates that Worf is cheating on her with the security ensign…the "psychic imprint" murder mystery or whatever. But agreed, the official uniform is the best. Dax is…

For this ep in particular, I found Q's jokes and nonchalance to be perfectly in character, as in - as terrifying as the Borg are, I (Q) STILL find this situation hilarious because I am, after all, omnipotent. Both the Q AND the Borg came off as truly menacing.

Midriff aside…. I'm female and straight, but I can appreciate an awesome set of hips, and boy did she have them.

I think he was banging her grandmom, which makes it dry-heave worthy, rather than rectum bursting projectile worthy.

Guinan Flatley
Zack - The Lord of the Dance/a-pox-on-you hand jives in Ten Forward threatened to take me out of the love into which I was falling with this episode. Funny to hear others weren't as perturbed.

@CheeseGimp - I just started DS9 and it is well worth it. you might have to squint on this thread every once in a while to avoid learning what happens in later seasons, but I highly suggest checking it out.

I Liked Icarus Factor
For the same reason I liked the opening in Time Squared - I enjoy seeing the crew (occasionally) doing regular stuff. Having folks over for a meal; not getting along with one's parents, etc. It makes me like the characters more (or less, in some instances) because it gives me a feel for their…

Kevin?
The Calusari kid is the same actor that played Kevin in Conduit, yes?

Sirtis said she actively tried to give Troi an accent that wasn't british, or similar to any other accent someone from Earth would have…McFadden made no such statement, nor should she, since Crusher is an earthling. So I have no idea why that weird accent of hers came and went the way it did.

@The Mutt - found it!

@The Mutt - WOW, I completely forgot about that! Farley's Rikerwalk was effing hilarious

@Billy - HA! I'm similarly afflicted. Both Riker and Worf are my favorite characters now, whereas when I was a kid watching, it was Data Data Data.
