No, I know, that indictment was not meant to be the least bit serious.  You're not wrong, and Robinson would be better than most of the suggestions so far, including my own.

Yeah, I don't know what exactly she means by that.  DS9 ran just as long and enjoyed approximately the same level of success that TNG did.

I think we need a Jimmy James gimmick commenter who tells everyone they've submitted too many ideas, then submits another one of his own.  Zing!

You must also provide him with a sandbox.  And talk to him.

I haven't watched the pilot yet, but I got the sense that the time portal was a discovery and not an invention, and that it would only send them to that one specific place/time.  Is that impression accurate?

But then who's gonna… nah, forget it.

And also a schizophrenic Jeffrey Combs.

True, but Picard doesn't phrase it as an order, he just points out the logical course of action given the assumptions

There are large swaths of DS9 episodes in which Dukat arguably IS the star of the show.

I agree.  And Picard calling them illogical seems really forced and doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

So the question is, has Data finally figured out how to play a joke, or is he actually going to put Riker in a cell?  Both are plausible, and I like that they leave it ambiguous.  I prefer to assume the former.

Guys, sometimes a cake is just a lie.

Seriously, though, seems like a solid theory to me.  However, I do not remember that scene at all.  Was it near the end?  I was super tired and zoning out a little bit in the last third of the ep.

I think somebody else mentioned it up near the begi— HEY WAITAMINUTE.

I see what you're saying, but I think it's also important to note that CRO wasn't nearly as pissed about the dealing as they were about the murder/blackmail that got that vote passed (which I think is a much more believable and grounded way to "moralize" them, even though it seems Gemma and Clay did much the same…

Wait, so you guys think we're supposed to be categorically siding with Clay on this cartel deal?  I disagree: a lot of main characters aren't on board, and Jax only is so he can get out of the life altogether.  Like Zack says in the review, I don't think that SAMTAZ is there to say "Hey, at least SAMCRO's not THESE…

Well, right, but SAMCRO includes the C.  Or does that C not stand for club?

So if we pair him with some other guy, we can make a Two and a Half Men remake?

Am I missing something, or is the SAMTAZ abbreviation missing a letter? Doesn't it need a C to make sense?

I agree.  Though I generally hate ~1/3 of the songs on each of their albums to date (from which a single or two each is invariably drawn), I generally dig the rest.  They have an abundance of sincerity and heart that can be easily missed in the sea of juvenility.
