"I feel all right about TMNT getting the ."

That should be threat, not treat.

Yeah, maybe it was Memorial Day.

Michael Bay reboots Perfect Strangers. Or Alf.

I like the idea that someday someone will reboot a movie franchise before the franchise has begun.

I'm gonna go across the street and schling a schlong

Yeah, what I've heard doesn't sound too bad.

Yeah, the sparsely populated thing didn't bother me, but I have a higher tolerance - or I did as a child - to that kind of thing, having grown up with old Tom Baker-era Doctor Who. Those fuckers had maybe 4 to 6 extras in most episodes!

Also, they tend to sit around mostly. Not great for taking over organizations.

I don't believe they did, @Wild. There were some creepy images in TNG, but I don't remember anything on par with the head exploding thing.

Yeah, just remembering that episode from being 7 when it aired…it wouldn't be out of place now, but I very clearly remember how jarred I was when it first aired. I mean, the creepiest thing I'd seen on TNG thus far was Riker in the tar-pit alien, which isn't all that scary (but was unsettling, again, to a 7 year

Totally agree on the new Romulan ship. My favorite ships in all of the series, I think. Probably had an impact on first-run, but now it doesn't lift the episode too far above "meh."

You heartless bastard.

We'll Always Have Paris
I wrote in comments what I thought of The Neutral Zone (piece of shit) and Conspiracy (somewhat okay episode, remember for being better than it actually is, really jarring in that it came out of nowhere and didn't fit with the rest of the show, etc.). I actually somewhat liked We'll Always

The dinner scene is something I still have trouble watching. It creeped the FUCK out of me as a 7 year old. Also, I seem to remember, as I think Zack was pointing out above, that it came out of nowhere. It was so out of place for what this show had been so far. That doesn't make it bad at all, just jarring, at

Did they ever call back to this episode as in what may have been destroying those outposts? When I was rewatching this I thought it was really great foreshadowing of The Borg until I remembered The Borg didn't know about that area yet. So that plot point was dropped and never followed up on? Man that's fucking

Hah
Before I write a longer post with my opinions on these three, kudos for the joke starting paragraph 3, Zack. An obvious joke to make, sure, but made me laugh at work. And dammit, who could ask for more than to laugh at work.

Religulous was actually funny, too, so it had that going for it. Also, he allowed some of his subjects to make good points. The two vatican priests came off extremely well, and Maher didn't cut that out or edit it so they'd seem dumb. Most of the facts about the religions he actually got right (though some he did

I completely agree. Optimism seems to be largely absent these days. People seem to hate the notion of happy endings. (I hate to bring the discussion back here, but that's why I enjoyed the Lost finale; I expected just about everyone to bite it in the end. I certainly didn't expect people to escape the island

I agree with these to an extent. I differ on Ben Gibbard as far as some of Death Cab's older albums (though, actually, I guess I'm not disagreeing, as their older albums are influenced a lot by Chris Walla's music, which is probably better than the lyrics; but "We Have the Facts" is still a fantastic album). I find
