This episode shows why I've always pitied Neelix rather than hated him: The character could have worked, could've been a rather fun and interesting part of the cast.... but the writers kept insisting on writing him in the most obnoxious way possible.

...so why couldn't they use the universal translator for the greeting?

Random brainwave I had while watching this review: the reveal that Leah was married could've been work in a bit better if they had Leah explain--possibly while apologizing for her earlier behavior--that it was her wedding anniversary and she was just about to leave to meet her husband for their vaca...

When I watched this, I found the moment where Picard and Riker go to the weapons room to be unintentionally funny. Because with the dramatic music combined with the shot of the sign on the door, you'd think that they're going to arm up with some heavy-duty firepower, but instead they come out with t...

Incidentally, very early on in the game's development, the bounty hunter and smuggler classes were going to have their own "underworld" faction separate from the Republic and Sith, but it ended up getting dropped at some point for reasons I don't think have ever been made clear.

I'm still confused why they thought giving Spock a half-sibling never seen or mentioned before would be a good idea. I mean...they do remember how well that went over in The Final Frontier, right? Wouldn't it have made more sense for Michael to have been Sarek's apprentice or some such thing? The w...

That's my favor...

I admit, I was very underwhelmed by Pacific Rim. Chuck described the characters as "broad strokes", but unlike him, I didn't feel like they were "alive". They mostly felt like wet cardboard cutouts spouting off lines that were trying too hard to be cool. Outside of Mako, I couldn't tell you what any...

Vette's facepalm while the Warrior brags about it is pure comedic gold.

At the time the episode first crossed my timestream, it seemed decent enough for new Who... but now finally having seen The Master from the 80s, this regeneration seems just way off the mark. Definitely happy to see more Who is coming soon! I'm not sure I would call it "way off the mark" since Time...
