I agree.

Suspension of disbelief
So here are the major plot holes from this week as I see them:

If we can't discuss at length the pros and cons of umbrellas, especially in regard to particular climates and/or cities, then what can we talk about, really? We're all shocked at the amount of discussion, but I think each of us has learned something new about the attitudes towards umbrellas in different parts of the…

Adjacent to refuse, is refuse.

I did!

My point was twofold. First, that there are two kinds of guns:

Plastic Gun
I can't imagine a plastic gun like the one Vicky and Sean used to threaten the VP would be very useful for threatening people. The threat of a gun works because the person you are threatening is aware of what a gun can do, and is afraid it will happen to them. A plastic gun, or anything that doesn't look…

What is wrong with me?
I agree that the Sean/Leila stuff is absolutely terrible. But the Sterling/Inostranka story (and to a lesser extent the Martinez/Lewis story) were good enough that I didn't care. I actually found myself enjoying the show! At one point I actually *paused* the videogame I was playing on the other…

@Skipskatte, that is a good theory. Don't forget though, that in the same episode we learn of Barclay's performance reviews from the Zhukov, we also learn that Picard doubts the accuracy of the review, suggesting that his previous commanding officer was exaggerating to increase the chances Barclay would be transferred…

Post-crash, main timeline Locke would beat Pressman, hands down. *Spoilers* I mean, Pressman abandoned his ship to mutineers. Locke would never do that, he'd blow it up first.

@St. God But he was practically a babbling mess at the beginning, so maybe all that stuff fixed him? The same way falling down a well will fix your crossed eyes.

Yeah, I see what you did there. Fair point.

No, that's too obvious. Let's call him J. Teti.
