There's this extremely annoying scene where both the characters scramble about in some underground passage, B'Elanna has been affected by Vorik's mating drive since they were partially linked, and she's practically begging Paris on her knees to have it off with her. He refuses. What please is...

I sometimes get the impression that certain characters come in for a lot of undeserved stick for basically just being human. Riker gets called a bastard and other unflattering things by some apparently just because he's got a bit of a temper, can be rash and doesn't suffer fools gladly. Kira's...

I know you're clearly not meant to. You're obviously meant to react to him exactly like O'Brien and think he's a stuck-up so-and-so at the start, and then warm to him gradually. I must confess he was one of my favourites straight off. Yes, he was arrogant, which usually isn't an endearing...

During the series, both Tuvok and Vorik get into that reproductive state where they either have to find a mate or fight someone. Now the doc suggests to Vorik that he should try and "work it off" with the aid of a holographic substitute. He tries this and it doesn't work. However when Tuvok is...

I've come across a few critical and disparaging remarks about it. Why? To my mind he's a superb actor. Certainly his style is theatrical - which isn't surprising, given that like a lot of the actors who end up playing main parts in Star Trek, he's classically trained. But the same applies to...

I've always wondered why, what with all the astonishing medical technology available in the future, Silaran remained disfigured. Some have speculated that he might have refused treatment in order to wear his disfigurement like a badge, which certainly makes psychological sense. But the thought...

I've just watched again the second season episode "Cardassians" paying closer attention to the boy's fate than I did the first time round, and I still can't get my head around how the decision was reached to send him "home" to Cardassia. We don't know how old Rugal is supposed to be but he...

When Odo links with the Female Founder, they're clearly having some kind of a sexual relationship. However he also links with another changeling who's taken a male shape, and in that instance it's equally clear that the communion is of a different nature; simply the relief of existing for a few...

I'm basing this impression on the incident at the end of the episode Profit and Loss, where he shoots a Cardassian military officer in order to give the dissident professor and her students a chance to get away. He then explains to Quark that he did it out of love for his homeworld. This says...

Most fans of the character seem to concentrate on his personal transformation from adjutant to liberator, which was a stroke of genius by the writers, convincingly acted, and I don't need to add any more praise than that. Usually his role before said personal transformation by contrast gets...

I came across some rumours that at some point during the filming of TNG, Patrick Stewart apparently said something ill-considered which really got up the noses of Michael Dorn and Levar Burton, and relations between those actors became somewhat strained as a result. When pressed on the matter in...

It may sound an odd complaint to make about a sci-fi series, but does anybody else think there's too many aliens on Star Trek? particularly ill thought-out ones. Voyager is the worst offender in this respect, that's one reason I couldn't bring myself to keep on watching it. There's new so-called...

That metal carapace is a bit of a medieval piece of kit for the 24th century! It's not like anyone except a Klingon would come at you with a bladed weapon anymore so what exactly is it meant to protect against? O.k., I know, I know, it's obviously design - makes the uniform look more sleek and...

(in no particular order) 1. Leeta (barbie doll simpleton) 2. Ziyal (annoyingly naive) 3. Garak (annoyingly foppish) 4. Zek (too much of a caricature) 5. Winn (sanctimonious self-serving insert favoured expletive here...)

There was this one episode where everyone on the ship had amnesia, and the two of them were unable to remember all the run-ins they'd had and got along so well they jumped into bed together. I thought: "well they've finally figured out they ought to really like each other!" I reckon they...

I can't see TV dying out even if complete immersion virtual realities as in holosuites could ever be invented. Reason one: as a species we've always loved telling and being told stories. When you're taking part in one, fun as it is, you can't actually really concentrate on the story itself...

I always tended to think of it as being "their" kind of society, that's to say that, unlike in totalitarian societies on earth, the majority of the population isn't behind it because of state propaganda or brainwashing, but because they like it that way. That's not to say the dissident...

...and this is a really pedantic one!, blame it on the study of linguistics... but why do they go to the trouble of thinking up "different"-looking names for non-human characters when nobody tells the actors how to pronounce them? I'm thinking f'r instance of names likes Aamin Marritza being...

What is a councillor doing wearing a lilac bodysuitall the time? I mean she's meant to be a Starfleet officer, isn't she, and I suppose councillor falls under medical officer,so why doesn't she wear the uniform? It's only near the end of season 6, after the brief tenure on the Enterprise of...

There's quite a few instances where events and encounters are hinted at in conversation that sound intriguing but which we never actually see. Personally I'm curious as to what the hell Dukat had to dream up to say to Mika (was that her name?) to talk her round into sleeping with him... There...
