I would love to see that writen into a contract.  "Clause 38, paragraph 4, subsection 3: No backsies."

I second.  Read the review, and you'll get the essential data.  If it sounds interesting, and the review recommends it, take a gander at it.  Otherwise, just roll on to the next one.

COLLAPSE ALL SPOILERS!  Seriously, close the thread.  And if you're worried about spoilers, stop using that format where new posts pop up unconnected from their attendant threads, because not everybody marks every little thing if it's deep down in a well-marked thread.

I can see that.  It's hard to argue that's actually the case, given the secrecy of future plotlines from the cast and all, but I think the theory fits the evidence.

Hey, I liked Claudia Christian's selling of it.  I think she's the unsung comic genius of the cast, the Michael Dorn of Babylon 5.  Because of her, it works for me.  I can't think of another person (character or actor) who could have pulled it off.  So I'm along!

Oh, yeah?  Just try to figure out a Ferengi contract sometime…

Or Discordians.

The military-ness of Starfleet is like the speed of warp travel: it varies according to the needs of the plot.  So, yeah, kind of pointless to expect too much from it.

If someone asks you if you're a god, you say "yes"!

Bickering is how Cardassians get funky.

"What's the matter, Quark?  Those nettlegrubs not sitting well with the pepperoni?"

If you don't stick the landing, that ruins the whole thing for some people.

BIG SPOILERS, IN CASE THE POISLER WARNINGS ABOVE ARE INSUFFICIENT, IN WHICH CASE, WHY ARE YOU READING THIS FAR DOWN ANYWAY? GO BACK AND COLLAPSE THE WHOLE THREAD, JUST TO BE SAFE!

"Swing away…" - some soothsayer in some movie sometime

Cocaine is a hell of a drug…

I do that three times a week already.

Nice TNG callback!

Sure, in an animalistic, throw rationality to the wind, raw, needy…

BUT I GET UP AGAIN

I know someone.
