His closest analog would be Kivas Fajo from "The Most Toys".

And their education system was second to none. Trump's signature mix of skimming the book jacket combined with blustery bullshit wouldn't last one day on Cardassia.

Johnson? The Dominion? Johnson would be like one of those wandering Gamma quadrant species that kept popping through the wormhole in search of screentime and a handout.

Oh man, I just disagree with this so much.

I'm voting for the first six episodes of Space: Above & Beyond. Who's with me?!

Honestly I don't think Trump is serious enough to win over the Cardassian demographic. They're a pretty driven bunch and wouldn't be impressed with his frenetic carnival barking. As humans I think we're stuck with him.

I'm convinced that the reason that 'only' 60% of his public utterances are rated as lies or misstatements is because the other 40% are just winding streams of consciousness like the above.

She's Admiral Nechayev, basically.

You'd think he'd be a good Ferengi, what with the constant lusting for profit and their cultural idea that women should be naked homemakers, but I don't even know about that.

I love it. A sea sponge could understand Star Wars.

Don't forget weird bespoke diseases, temperature-changing keycards, and an eight-foot-tall black Inuit wielding a minigun.

If they're going to give Scarlet Witch more screen time they really, really need to define and limit her powers.

I remember him as unbelievably sincere.

Thank you for clarifying what his job was originally supposed to be. I was fairly young when this first aired and he always just came across as a clever-but-soft-handed hippie who kept ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I feel like the decline of middle age is going to be even harder on him than most.

I was a little sorry we never got to see him get beaten on with that wrench at the beginning.

It's certainly notable that many of the hit series of yesteryear got off to notoriously rocky first seasons. Star Trek: The Next Generation would have been unceremoniously cancelled after six episodes if it'd had to compete in an environment as competitive as today.

True, but smugness was probably his only alternative to beating Tim's skull in with a hammer.

"Hot Rod" Dunham! Ended up getting did in, albeit indirectly, by Avon Barksdale.

I've never felt any sympathy for TV executives whatsoever before now, but that must be incredibly frustrating. Your golden goose is flying away and the only thing you have to offer him is borderline meaningless to him because of all the money you've paid him already. No leverage and no options.
