Wasn't the ambassador the same guy from Buck Rogers TV show with Gil Gerard?

Love the Klingon purr she does to get Worf's attention, and then he gets all horny and realizes how ridiculous he must look in the middle of Ten Forward. How come Famke doesn't get all "hero worshippy" around Data like the kid from a few episodes before? It has been established he can get drunk, get possessed, get

The Perfect Imaginary Mate
I enjoyed "Perfect Mate"; Famke does quite well as a brilliant sex object-type-thing in the middle of another train wreck 24th Century inconsistency: the concealed sexism of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This is a very original recipe-type episode, unapologetic in the misogynistic

"The woman should not be addressing you in the familiar…"
More Star Trek sexism. Call it fifth season post-Roddenberry backlash misogyny. Or maybe making a point that so-called "civilized" cultures are civilized in name only? In many ways, our own culture is still stuck in the turn-of-the-century when gentlemen

@Dave - Good point, but this has always been tricky in Star Trek. It would be considered an ethical violation to use an empath; otherwise you have no legal defense, there would be no need for representation, attorneys etc. In a time of war, they would justify the use of empaths, mind readers etc. but I do wonder if

@Dave - I was going to bring that up as well. However fantastic and spectacular the stunt would have been, they STILL would've been punished!

If 'implified' isn't a word, it should be. It sounds important - like it should mean something. To imply/amplify at the same time? To amplify an implication? I like it!

I capitalize Hell because it is a real place like Larchmont or Pierre. I've been there, not as hot as you would think.

They had a 22 episode order and no money, so they shot it in 3 days and added the clips. There was a crippling writer's strike that year. They could have just ended with Peak Performance…

Wesley: Dude this is seriously fucked up!

Yeah but her hands are HUGE!

He'll be the brooder with dark soul and the terrible secret and it will take a sexy empath to unlock the truth inside him. There will be sexual situations and partial nudity.

Very David and Bathsheba.

Go Worf! Pop that bubble! Was it my imagination or was Troi slightly turned on when he did that?

"The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to my nuts, whether it's scientific nuts or historical nuts or personal nuts! It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based! And if you can't find it within yourself to stand up and tell my nuts about what happened, you don't deserve to wear that uniform!"

Are you saying 9/11 *didn't* change everything? Because it did. 9/11 changed everything! America, fuck yeah!

@Emperor Jim You didn't think she was a little bit mannish?

He looks like Freddy's Kruger's happy twin.

If I recall there's a scene where he expresses shock and outrage at her being assigned to the Enterprise, saying something to the effect of "I don't know how you got on my ship…" Hence, why I complain about the transfer…

Considering how suspicious and paranoid the ranking officers at Starfleet Academy seem to behave, you have to bow to Delta Squadron sneaking around and doing their illegal flying formation without even getting caught!
