During their tour with Arcade Fire, they always opened with "Me & The Bean."

Sigh. I- most likely entirely alone- still think that Some Loud Thunder is one of the best albums of the past decade.

Welcome home, Marty.

Regardless of its retrograde politics, that shirt is ugly as hell.

I'll say Voyager's Scorpion two-parter was solid. Good hook, if a little fan-fictiony (hey, what if someone could pwn the Borg, huh? huh?), nice action sequences, and a legitimate sense of danger that Voyager rarely approached. If only that had been the end of it.

Ahh, Descent.

The only good part of "The Chase" is Plinkett's commentary for "Generations," in which he points out that the priceless artifact Picard gets in the episode is tossed out with the trash. Oh, Berman.

Ugh, "The Chase"
In which one of the greatest questions in the universe is answered with a sigh. Also, they bring up beings that look pretty much like The Founders but that's never dealt with again.

Radiohead
"Radiohead's five-albums standing depends entirely on your feelings about 2001's Amnesiac."

The Doctor
…was able to walk outside the holodeck because he used a mobile emitter stolen from a guy who stole it from a 29th century timeship captain.

Man of the People
Hoo boy, if you thought you hated Troi now…

I knew DS9 wasn't going to make everything easy when they opened that season with the Federation fleet all shot to hell.

Insurrection would've been a lesser regarded Season 7 episode. As a movie, it's a complete disaster.

"Gambit" was good enough dumb fun, with a nice subplot (Data and Worf almost coming to blows), Riker playing the angles, and two pretty neat twists at the ends of parts 1 and 2. In terms of What Does It All Mean, or whatever, Gambit's the least essential two-parter, but nowhere near the worst.

Which was a fine episode mostly*. And in Season 7!

The Borg
"How lucky are they that it discovered Picard? Can you think of anyone else capable of surviving an experience like this without losing his mind? Between this and the Borg, Jean Luc is officially a super-human."

I know someone who watches this!
Well, at least there's evidence of it. Whenever I get up early enough to go to my apartment building's gym (usually around 7 a.m.), whoever was in there last always has it turned to ION Life on one TV and some super-fundie televangelist on another. Like clockwork.

Yeah, not based on a true story, but…
The Natural. YOU CAN'T HIT A WALKOFF HOMER IN A ROAD GAME.

Eye of the Beholder from Season 7. I'm curious what we think of it when that ep gets a review. Straddles the line between engaging and absolutely ridiculous.

Actually, wasn't Pinkett comparing Power Play to George Lucas having to dump in as much CGI bullshit in action scenes? And how just people walking down an Enterprise hallway was way more suspenseful.
