STD: Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

It happened, can't argue with that, but if you were to put that as the climax to a story it would be rightfully dismissed as an implausible, convenient far-fetched for a happy ending (for Carlisle at any rate) bit of cheesy nonsense.

Erk, looked it up, 19 years ago. That's depressing.

This is the first episode I whole-heartily enjoyed, the only weak part being the Burnham/Tyler thing, mostly because Tyler is just too bland of a character for me. I'm not all upset about the depiction of Mudd because he was never a character I had much fondness for, especially in two TOS episodes I just could never really get into, especially the space hooker episode.
