Moore seems to have a flair for dialogue where characters don't like each other, are stuck working together, and aren't trying to hide "petty bickering and mutual loathing" (to quote Garak). Adds a bit of spice to info dump conversations.

The TOS Enterprise blowing up was in the third movie was fairly dramatic.

Agreed about the exit wound.
The "squib" was obviously just below the collar. The camera was low and aiming upward, so the blood pack explodes from the neck and obscures the back of his head.

If you watch "Silence of the Lambs" again, Hannibal easily took out two armed guards.

The bullet had to go through the window too.
Maybe Chilton was hit by a fragment of the jacket, rather than the expanding lead.

I want to know if he is tap dancing while "singing in the blood… I'm singing in the blood!"

That was my thought too.
People have literally put a gun to their mouth during suicide attempts, and survived because the bullet didn't hit the brain or spine.

"…than how alliances are represented in Trek and other shows as now they're BFFs (e.g., the Klingons and Feds on DS9)."

Huh… Guess I had a psychotic break; you are right about the colors. For some reason I was thinking about first season uniforms: Kira's arm coverings a deeper red than the rest, Jadzia wearing blue on top (with the lavender undershirt).

But if those admirals never died, maybe there wouldn't have been room for Janeway's promotion.

That's a big part of "Ender's Game" (how space war would really happen).

I've always liked "The Doomsday Machine". William Windom's twitchy acting had me believe that Matt Decker would go insane hearing 400 of his friends and crew mates begging him to do something, anything.

I can see your point about generic Cardassian military leader.

At least for me, the Bajoran uniform was red overload. And not a fan of shoulder pads.

Speaking of destroyed, what happened to this subthread? I was responding to someone pointing out that all of Worf's possessions on the the Defiant are toast, but its gone now? (How did my comment survive?)

I never thought of Damar as a Dukat imitation.

Zeta Kai's comments run through Weyoun's Breen-to-jive universal translator:

As you might guess, I was cackling when O'Brien's line matched up with the Viagra 4 hour side effect.

The 1700's Netflix Instant also had problems with the Internet providers. That 0.016 bps connection would drop to nothing if there was a stiff breeze near the smoke signal.

I wonder if Damar was already thinking about this when Worf took out Weyoun. ("Another Weyoun… but only one Damar… I'll have to do something about that.")
