Check it out in chronological order. There are definitely points in the second season where it gets repetitive, but I like to think of the first two seasons as necessary to show how much they grow in the third. That growth gives them the credibility to act as the heroes and diplomats they become in the fourth…

That seems to be the story for many of the problems with VOY and ENT. ENT's first season was going to be all about the construction of the NX-01 and assembly of the crew. That would have been pretty cool, and unlike anything seen before. Maybe it would have meant some of the lesser season two episodes would have…

Reading a New York Times Magazine article on Watson, the developers said the whole point of putting Watson on Jeopardy was to make a computer as good and intuitive as the natural language search capabilities of Star Trek's computer.

Leaving the mistake there is a greater acknowledgement of the mistake than editing it out.

A Mr. Fix-It might naturally be interested in mysteries, and trying to out-guess the detective. Also, Bashir has a similar interest and maybe he lent some to O'Brien first.

Well that actually seems fairly realistic. They start out desperately hopeful and grasping at straws, and as the show goes on they settle into living in the Delta Quadrant. The problem was that it didn't change them enough. Ronald D. Moore said that they should have been their own society by the time they got home,…

Should we include the in-joke locations listed on the Promenade directory like Jupiter Mining Corporation, Tom Servo's Used Robots, and Pancho's Happy Bottom Riding Club?

I saw it once, in the theater, and I enjoyed it. I don't know how it holds up, but it was fun at the time.

It could be Klingon years. They grow up quickly.

"The Sound of Her Voice" shares a premise with a movie that came out two years later, "Frequency," and a Star Trek: Voyager episode, from three years earlier. The ending wasn't supposed to be a twist, but again, I think that's the episode's issue.

The joke would actually still work, but now it would be about how rude Max is for leaving his ringer on.

It's pretty cool that Peter Allan Fields co-wrote this too. He's responsible for a lot of the early favorites of DS9.

Nope. He was preparing dinner for someone in his quarters, possibly Kasidy. I'm sure Jake was invited. It was definitely an earlier episode.

Did you see the episode first as a rerun between seasons?

Debra Wilson plays a white person.

As much as I dislike the artificial raising of stakes in movies by destroying worlds and their cities, I do concede that blowing up Vulcan is something that a movie can do that would be too much in a TV story arc.

I was thinking this was a parody of Duel, minus the fact that the whole family was there, until I saw the driver. I wondered if it would end the same way.

Riker did say, "Maybe if we felt any loss as keenly as we felt the death of one close to us, Human history would be a lot less bloody."
