Yes! Was that the one where Claire is hanging off their windowsil or something? Yikes, as a kid that one freaked me right the fuck out.

You know, I wonder what sitcoms actually did end well. Cheers, obviously. Other ones that I remembered ending in a way that I liked (not all 80s) were Mary Tyler Moore, Raymond, That Girl, Newhart… Maybe MASH, though was that even really a sitcom at that point? I enjoyed The Garry Shandling Show's ending. I didn't…

That should say the COP from Die Hard.

I agree, Todd. I generally didn't like Raymond (couldn't STAND the wife, or even Ray often for that matter) but I occasionally tuned in to see Peter Boyle, who I've always loved. But I actually found the finale of Raymond pretty moving in a way. One of the better sitcom endings (which isn't saying much - most…

Yes! Many plots *do* revolved around Cliff trying to eat a sandwich, or eat a piece of cake and disguise it or something.

I also love how the transporter isn't guarded or ever locked out or anything. How fucking easy is it for someone to just barge in and use that thing? If I ran into a grocery store to use a cash register, I'm pretty sure I couldn't unless I got the clerk to unlock it for me.

Quick, someone mention Deep Space Nine!

It's been gone over before, but the greatest crime committed by Star Trek V was it's retardification of the beloved characters for the sake of incredibly stupid comedy. Exhibit A is Scotty's running into a pipe and knocking himself unconscious. However, it also features some excellent scenes between the triumvirate…

Doctor Dalen Quaice. Q-U-A-I-C-E.

I loved Night Court mostly for two reasons - John Laroquette (I will watch just about anything he's ever in, including the movie Second Sight) and the surreal humor. As a kid that really worked on me; I didn't know from politics when that show was on. I remember a show where Bull was trying to keep leaks contained…

Terrific work, TVD
Terrific work on this Primer, Todd.

It never ceases to amaze me that so many cunts just *have* to make a post like Rilke's here - why bother saying "I know for certain I do not want to read this book"? You have added absolutely nothing to anything here. Is it just for attention? Just because you can't resist shitting somewhere out in the open so…

Barclay really should be a babbling mess by the end of TNG's run - taken over by super-aliens and used to interface with the ship and then suddenly released; stuck in a transporter stream with mini-sandworms from Beetlejuice; turned into a goddamn spider…

Another holodeck jizz thread!

Interesting theory. I don't think that makes the movie any better, though. (Though I did always like the idea that it was the actual Devil in there; go to find God and find the Devil instead is at least a somewhat interesting idea- too bad that movie blew goats.)

Emotive electrochemical stimulus response
I'd probably give either both shows a B or give "The Nth Degree" a B+ and "Identity Crisis" a B.

Dr. Robuttnik, Avatar Avenger is a cunting troll. Please ignore him.

@Avatar Avenger: LOL

Yeah, I haven't seen this "episode" or whatever yet, but I loved this review. It was hilarious.

Oh, I agree, it is a revisit of other ideas even before Trek probably. What I meant was within TNG - you'd think it'd be interesting for someone to say "I wonder what happened with the sentient crazy straws our ship birthed." Especially since Picard surmised it would be somewhat imprinted with their experiences and…
