It is kind of a shame that the various Castors were largely the same. I mean, they had a good in-story reason why, but still… shame.

Well, she's a 10, and Sarah's, like, a 7 at best.

Smallville's biggest flaw was that it was a Superman show that was embarrassed of being a Superman show. (Baked right into the DNA of it with "no tights, no flights".) So they were all, "Superman/Doomsday battle? Ugh. If we have to. But then let's get back to the love triangle thing."

That is one of my favorites of the early episodes. It sets up the "you're out of your league" from the get-go. "You need to set a course away from the storm at Warp 7." "… our top speed is Warp 5."

"Always trying to shoehorn in…"

"Inner Light" is excellent, but not very representative to be good "gateway" Trek.

Summer Glau could stalk you in a clown wig and a tutu and be terrifying.

Not to mention the obvious but: Also, you tell the story of the cluster that fights and wins, not the cluster that takes their blockers and keeps their head down to avoid trouble.
