On a tangential note, I think social asymmetry (i.e. "one of us gets to date more than the other") is one of the great undiscussed issues in the world of polyamory.

I prefer Knights to Noon—the setting, cast, and writing are more appealing to me.

I've always been more of a Parrises Squares fan myself.

Writer Joe Menosky did say the most dated aspect of TNG would be thinking the psychiatrist was important enough to have seated next to the captain.

I've definitely been guilty of the "thought someone was giving me romantic signals" faux pas on multiple occasions—but in my own defence, having a lot of polyamorous people in my social circles can sometimes blur those lines.

They believe he formed and that his orbit was stable, but not that he was the Space Messiah.

That was my ex's line every time Edith Keeler knocked on Kirk and Spock's door in "The City on the Edge of Forever."

I haven't listened to this HDTGM episode yet, but how is it hard for someone to understand what The Shadow is about?

I would normally agree with (and laugh at) this sort of CanCon joke, but Lexx also managed to film in Germany and Namibia (long before Fury Road), so its production values weren't that low.

Say what you will, but I get the feeling their traffic has gone up since the site shifted its focus.

I was just amused that they chose a photo from a widely-reviled film with the original cast—although, as pointed out above, that period of time was when the seven main characters were last serving all together on the Enterprise.

There's a Star Trek VI cast photo without Valeris in it, and there are others from II-IV which would've also worked fine.

Really, they went with the Star Trek V publicity photo of the TOS cast?

Movie Village in Winnipeg was/is my go-to rental place. It's a shadow of its former self—the original location shut down and it now shares space with a(n equally endangered) music store.

Or "Cary Granite" and "Stony Curtis" on The Flintstones.

A closer analogy might be a smart person doing well in school, but also being socially excluded as a nerd—their inherent traits confer advantages and disadvantages simultaneously, even within the same environment.

We be fast and they be slow!

DCW is the term I prefer, especially now that all of the television series are on the same network.

William Rotsler originally came up with the first name Nyota for the book Star Trek II Biographies.

Not only was there a series (with six seasons and a movie—seriously!), but it's my favourite corner of the franchise…and rest assured, it ignores the second film completely.
