Exactly. What’s interesting is how my interests have changed. Back in the prequel days I would have voted for plot above all. But now? I’ve learned to appreciate the value of acting and chemistry, I guess.

Between Shakira, J-Lo, and now this, anyone who hasn’t gone through puberty yet is good now.

Yeah she was pretty much a b*tch to Data, right to his face. I remember not liking Dr Pulaski to the point where I was annoyed by Diana Muldaur, but that wasn’t fair to her since I liked her work on LA Law.
