I didn't say advocating alternative fuels was a bad thing - it's just that he thinks we can do this overnight, but the technology isn't there.  Hybrid cars (in theory) are a great idea provided they have enough torque and the batteries actually decompose - they don't…it's all high-minded limousine liberal talk.  He

I think he misrepresents and betrays his supposed "libertarian" leanings.  He's a model of liberalism, on the board at PETA, advocates the use of alternative fuels and purchasing overpriced hybrid vehicles, is a cocktail-party socialist but I love the show.  Sometimes I yell at him on the TV and sometimes I agree with

The beginning!

We'll disagree, but it doesn't diminish my argument in either case.  Somehow I knew my "Tholian Web" pick would raise questions, but if you look at lists of best TOS and Trek episodes, "Tholian Web" always shows up on that list.  It is one of the best episodes ever made.  It's a personal favorite of mine.  In that

I've seen the entire series several times over, including the ridiculous sixth and final seasons and yes, I can safely say "Duet" was the best episode of the series and hogging space for the best five of the franchise - three of those being TOS, one being TNG.

Yeah!  If you love Family Guy, Weezer, the movies of M. Night Shyamalan and don't think Community is the greatest god-damned television show ever made in the history of the medium, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!

The series suffers (in my view) because of the repetition, the political intrigue - a museum piece of the time in which the show was written.  "Duet" represented a high-water mark for the show - indeed for the franchise, which would never be repeated.  The second part of this two-parter is a whole lot of nothing, just

I just blue myself…

You really need to put "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" in the 'S' section and not the 'D' section because the title starts with an 'S' - dip.

Isn't Brown a little too close to shit?

Yes, life in the New of York can be quite expensive…but I'm pretty sure I can find you a basement studio for 550, 6 a month.

Each had their respective talents.  Roth had charisma and great stage personality.  Hagar was a fantastic singer who could blend equal parts love and anger, but he didn't have Roth's lust for irony.

Mostly hot bisexual love, but I take your point.

I'm looking forward to the Jay-Z episode - "If Bitches Were Horses".

Wasn't that the album that caused all those suicides?

So the Prime Directive is really nothing more than a narrative barrier meant to stretch a teleplay to the desired 4+ minutes?  If we didn't have the Prime Directive, the whole thing would go a lot quicker.  Makes sense.

I would love to see those "Darmok" aliens wrap their heads around the aphasic virus…

Flame the dark truth!  Cut he say can't hang, say seven-up!  What it is, big Momma, my Momma didn't raise no dummies.  I dug her rap!

Shatner kept cutting everybody off mid-discussion to tell a stories about himself.  It was fun. They all went along with it.

I love how, in an interview with TV Guide, he refers to himself "brown" not black or even African-American.  I consider myself "pinkish with a ruddy under-tone".  Very Amistad.
