It's like poetry… it rhymes.

I'm fairly sure it means that John Teti was at Anime Boston in 2011. What's next, an Eyeshield 21 reference?

It's like poetry… it rhymes.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this before and you may have just forgotten to list it, but U Talkin U2 To Me is an amazing listen. Even though it seems like it starts a little slow they're just laying down the foundations for bit after amazing bit.

I've been reading AVClub for almost a decade and I still had never come across this gem of popculture detritus that Scott Tobias so graciously reviewed back when he was nobody. Now I'm the only comment on Doug's 1st Movie. MY NAME IS NERD PARAGON. LOOK UPON ME INTERNET AND DESPAIR.

Poor Handlen. While I'm excited for DS9; at this rate he's going to have to do the mess that is Voyager and (shudder) Enterprise.

I like Allegiances for the same reason you do
The bit at the end, where instead of talking about it, or bluffing with it, or being saved by Deus Ex Machina, or it just leaving the humans absolutely kick the big bad aliens ass. How many times in the show do they run up against incredibly powerful beings and just squeak…

Between this episode and Tapestry
Probably the two episodes with the best Q comedy. The Robin Hood episode was really overdone and let's not talk about the DS9 or Voyager episodes. It's really unfortunate that the writers forgot exactly what makes Q episodes great is when omnipotent beings have interactions with us…

I would also like to see it added, however, I still can't form a coherent thought on why. This show tickles the hind-brain more than anything else I can think of on TV right now; from the over the top characters, to the tongue in cheek (though obviously affectionate) writing and the ridiculously telegraphed music cues…

The behind the scenes origin for them is also pretty interesting. The Borg were originally going to be insectoid cyborgs and these parasites were the first wave, the signal is for the bases getting blown up in "The Neutral Zone". However, the budget got slashed and everybody realized there would be no way to make…

Conspiracy
Easily the best of the first season. It had a very real atmosphere of dread, unpleasantness and a sense of the unknown that wasn't repeated a whole lot for the rest of the series. Plus the guy's head explodes, which as a 10 year old with strict Trekkie parents, was the height of awesome. It seems an odd…

Acid Spraying Hulk Alarm Clock

Hm, yeah, now that I think about it no one except Riker ever made jokes about the others that sounded organic. When just about any of the other characters try it sounds incredibly stilted, like the poker game dialogs. The cast warms up to each other eventually, but boy it takes a while.

On the original series people were friends with each other, but you just didn't see it so much because they were friends within their own ranks. The officers: Kirk-Spock-McCoy were friends and hung out sometimes, but the enlisted men also hung out a lot among themselves: Chekhov-Sulu-Uhura-Scotty, at least until the…

What I don't like is how the Doctor deals with them.
They're back. AGAIN… SOMEHOW.
The show doesn't even try to deal with the fact that the Daleks have come back yet again from utter annihilation. Annihilation that cost the Doctor, his best friend and his double's innocence. If we're just supposed to take the fact that…

Angel One
I think that this is one of my favorite episodes from the first season for the simple reason of it's overwhelming stupidity. When they find the guy and he raises his flagon of mead to them all I could think about was how either that guy had spent the last several months in apprenticeship of a cooper or that…

I have to agree that Nemesis is, by far, worse than V. The rock climbing scene is corny and all, but at least it's over pretty quick. That dune-buggy bit was embarrassing and it just kept going and going and going and going.

"THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE-H! THIS FAR AND NO FURTHER!"

The Argument
That one scene made me laugh more at this episode more than any other since the legendary Slap-Bet. It was just so random and organic it really seemed like the kind of thing a group of friends hanging out at a bar could get into a huge shouting match about.
I don't like the terrible cg crap they do every…

The Mark of Gideon
is actually one of my favorites. Not for the acting. Or the plot. Or the writing. But, for the ending which
*SPOILER ALERT*
(Do I really need to spoiler alert a TV half a century old?)
has the Enterprise crew becomes complicit in genocide for the sake of the Prime Directive. That's pretty harsh.
