I was super confused for the first half. I couldn't decide between the three possible explanations for Lloyd Braun just abruptly entering her room, groping her, and playing with her hair:

Crusher's line to Troi, "Who needs rational when your toes curl up?" even seemed pretty scandalous for Trek! And don't get me started on SHIRTLESS LLOYD BRAUN!

They also wear space suits in First Contact and Voyager.

That was hilarious. Is that like, the only instance of petty sarcasm on the show? Like, I can remember lines about the plot, aliens being troublesome, etc, but I love how inconsequential a thing this is to snark about.

You don't need to go to the Outer Limits for a "transporter duplicate" storyline!

He didn't need blood! He needed ribosomes, since his were degraded by energy storm mumbo jumbo. He didn't have any healthy ones to replicate.

Maybe blood is easier than ribosomes.

Y'all are being lazy (because Zack was being lazy) - he needed ribosomes, not blood.

I'm honestly shocked when anyone sees that guy and doesn't think "Serenity now, insanity later."

Existenz was purely simulated though right? It was many, confusing levels deep, but their actions in the simulation weren't controlling real-world avatars like here/Ender's Game/Gamer.

Ah, well, my bad. In any case this twist didn't exactly blow me away.

Isn't this basically "Gamer" but instead of real people they use robots?

"where the hell is Outlander?" On Starz. I think that answers your question. Certainly likely the reason I never heard of it!

I'd be able to answer your question better if you put a link to the list in your top paragraph…

Actually, it turns out this is being released at the sa-oh I get it.

These part1/part2 lists are so irritating. How are we supposed to argue about whether Show X should've been on this list if we don't know whether y'all ranked it 20 or 41?

Scrolled down to make sure someone made this joke. Was not disappointed.

Okay one last thing I must complain about as a computer scientist: Fuck this "intuition" bullshit at the end. Intuition can be useful when there are unknown variables, particularly in social situations, where a computer couldn't possibly have a complete set of input to work the problem. But to navigate a ship? You're…

"Booby":
I started my notes with "oh god it's awkward but at least the show knows it's awkward." I maintain this position with respect to the whole episode.

"Bonding":
Really, Picard, you didn't study the Blahdonians before this mission and now you need Data to spout off facts for the audie-I mean, you?
