So Macduff's species is physically stronger than Klingons - one punch sent Worf flying and it take a couple of phaser shots to bring him down - and possibly mentally superior/scientifically advanced to humans and Starfleet never had an inkling as to their existence and their private war with their enemies. They're

Lots of Voyager hate around here, but I'll step up - better lighting, better sets, better FX than even Enterprise, characters were more realistic (i.e. flawed), the entire premise was built on crew conflict, the women were handled better (this is probably due to Jeri Taylor). I'm up to season 6 and I'm loving the

There's a mile-wide emptiness between you and me, Herbert.

@Random Person - I believe he does actually use those words - sad that I know that, but I do watch the show religiously. Hugh Laurie is just a hundred kinds of awesome and he more than makes up for the ridiculous stories.

Jack goes into the church and his Dad explains he's in purgatory. Oh and it might have been a dream Hurley and Ben had while locked in a crazy island embrace.

Zack's a romantic. Questions: Condoms in Starfleet or birth control? Do they not wear weddingrings to show that they're married? No pictures hanging on the wall of the happy couple? Is the reason Ro puts the moves on Riker simply because she thinks they're married? Is she conservative? Could they have been

@alurin - House told him whenever he gave his children hugs he was dosing them from skin-to-skin contact and then he made a funny analogy of why we stink when we eat garlic. House also noted that the schoolteacher was growing a mustache from the contact as well. That's how he came to the final diagnosis - he noticed

@Walter - I was disappointed by the Klingon scientist and it ties in with what we were talking about a few weeks ago about the failure and impracticality of an exclusively feudal warrior system.

You know what? I'm gonna go with Walter's theory - Data let Troi win. Yes! At least I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Because Crusher in her voice-over states Klingons don't take their scientists seriously, or something to that effect, so sadly she's a bit of a bitch.

Ro's a freakin' horndog
We're talking hours (HOURS) and she's already in Riker's room trying on his tunics and making the sexy-fun-time. Was it all that time in prison?

Even genetically-enhanced (and I do mean enhanced) political leaders are not immune to the Betazoid Swirl.

He was in an episode of House where his very-young daughter started having periods and his son beat up Chase, and it was because he was using an erectile dysfunction cream that doses his children with dangerous levels of hormones. All this so he could bang a younger schoolteacher.

Well not all of our advancements were made in times of crisis or necessity. From what I understand, a great deal of our technology comes from NASA research - they were just apparently spitballing and came up with good ideas.

Let's not go there.

Everything about that "utopia" didn't ring true - they were talking about balance with the environment, yet they live on an uninhabitable planet under a dome. That ain't a balance!

It's telling that MacDuff has superior strength in addition to the ability to wipe memory - it doesn't make sense for me, but it is telling.

The Right Way and the Riddle Way
The good stuff I liked. The bad stuff I didn't.

I'd estimate they could lift us both with one arm, it'd be interesting to see if their brains match their bodies…

Keiko, while superficially physically attractive (as they must have all been; admit it, there are no homely or plain females in medium close shots), strikes me as a subservient, on-the-bottom, don't make eye contact-type of female. She didn't really do it for me and her tirade at Data that time ("Data's Day") made me
