I've been watching bits and pieces of Voyager (I had thought to watch it through, but I found "Caretaker" so painful I discarded that plan) recently. I'd say the cast of Voyager is quite good (other than poor eyecandy Garrett Wang), but the writing is bad enough that they can't elevate it.

That's our O'Brien, irredeemable spacist!

The Vorta definitely have some involvement in genetic engineering, according to "In The Cards".

"Starship Down" is great. The Kira/Sisko scenes are significant for both of them, we get some minor but good resolution with Bashir and Dax, and the 'Worf in Engineering' stuff is one of my favorite O'Brien bits ever. And the Quark stuff is great.

Yeah, "Indiscretion" is one of my favorite episodes, but largely because it's retroactively enriched by "Return To Grace" and later episodes.

But pretty much every time someone makes a point of mentioning African involvement in the slave trade, the intent is to discharge whites of their responsibility in that trade.

I should remember to come back here and comment when I'm not at work. SFW version: there are legitimate reasons people might be turned on by giving/receiving them without degradation being involved. There's also unquestionably a degrading element sometimes.

"Drift Problem"… is that only because you had to pick one? Because that episode is great. A: everything involving the spy car, especially Archer's frenzied shouts. B: "white pumpkin". C: "that's for Pearl Harbor!"

Also, I'm pretty sure there's a heavy overlap between Muse fans and potential "Animal Practice" viewers, so NBC is just generating ill will there.

I think today's Savage Love had a letter about that.
