So at the conclusion of "Chain of Command, Part II" Picard is returned to the Enterprise and Jellico wins the confrontation with the Cardassians thanks to Riker's piloting and mining work. However, when first captured, Picard points out that torture is a violation of various treaties and...

I often pick them up as an alternative to candy. A whole box lasts a lot longer than most kinds of candy, like a candy bar, M&Ms, or Skittles. Also, they keep introducing more and more candy-esque flavors.

It had been many times that I'd seen "unification" before this started to bug me. The main reason we were given for the strained Spock-Sarek relationship in the TOS era was Sarek's disapproval of Spock's decision to join Starfleet. However, after the events of TSFS and TVH, there's a key scene...

You know, BK personnel, you are supposed to ask ME, as the customer if I'd like zesty sauce with my onion rings when I substitute them for fries. I shouldn't have to ASK "do you have sauce for the onion rings?" Not a huge deal in the scheme of things, but an annoyance nonetheless. What's...

http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2010/02/political-pundits-on-civil-war-iron-man-was-right/ I thought it was interesting back during the civil war storyline that it was very obvious that the reader was supposed to take the "anti-registration" side. Of course(as the linked article...

okay, you're aware that there are others there, right? It's really annoying to be on the treadmill and hear "uhhhhhhh---UHHHH-ARRRRGH!" every few seconds. Choose a smaller amount of weight or tone it down a notch. No one is impressed by your loud grunting. Any one else bothered by this?

I know it was mentioned at the end of BOBW 2 that the fleet would be back up to full strength by one year. I think that's kind of absurd considering the losses at Wolf 359 but that aside, I think it was a missed opportunity to not have a recurring subplot that showed how the Federation was...

Fair Haven is a terrible episode. I've noticed in various internet reviews that there's a recurring theme that the entire "dilemma" surrounding Janeway and use of the holodeck is ridiculous. Given the 24th century's supposedly liberal attitudes on sex and sexuality and what we've seen on DS9 of...

OK, so I've never quite understood this. Obi-Wan gets his message to the Jedi temple about the assassin and the clone army, and Yoda goes to Kamino to check out the clone army for himself. Obi-Wan gets captured, held for a while by Dooku and then Anakin and Padme head over to Geonosis to rescue...

Is it just me or does the doctor's breakdown seem like bad programming? Wouldn't programmers for an EMH program know that a situation would come up where the Doctor would have to make decisions among patients that would inevitably result in one of them dying? Putting aside the absurdity of two...

This episode, a "Ferengi episode," and the last of the Mirror Universe one, gets a bad rap, if you check out internet reviews and such. I hadn't seen it since it came out, and recently re-watched it. It's actually pretty funny, much better than many Ferengi episodes and better than the previous...

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/transgender-kids-have-we-gone-too-far/article16897043/ I hope this link works. Anyway, I thought this article was pretty good. I have found it interesting before that in most cases of diagnosing or treating psychological conditions for a young...

There's too many to list in a poll. My personal criteria for a great flavor is if it tastes good cold as well as toasted. There are flavors that I like when they're toasted that don't taste very good unheated and straight from the package. Therefore, my favorites are 1. S'mores-outstanding...

So the story is that originally Harry Kim was going to be killed off at the end of season 3, but instead Kes was ultimately removed from the show. I've always been baffled as to why Neelix wasn't the obvious choice to be replaced with the coming of Seven of Nine. First, it was no secret that...

I know that they already have them in some places, and that some places are considering laws regulating their use. What amazes me is reactions along the lines of "I would never buy a car that drives itself." Er, a self-driving car, unlike a Human, is never going to be drunk, or speed, blow a...

Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, Nero Wolfe, ... Batman? So is Batman considered a fictional detective? Ras al' ghul calls him "detective," he stars in "detective comics," but I get the feeling he's not seriously considered to be in the category of fictional detectives. Some...

Daredevil is usually not considered a non-superpowered "costumed hero" because he was given "powers" in the form of heightened senses and a radar sense after the accident where he lost his vision. But to me, he's always been closer to a Batman/Green Arrow type of hero than a superhero, because...

So I was standing behind a man at a urinal.(one of those small public bathrooms where there's only a urinal and a stall, and the stall was occupied.) The man finished urinating, walked away without flushing, washed his hands, and left. At first I thought this was pretty rude and disgusting...

so does totally inconsistent battery life/ poor battery length mean the phone's broken or it just needs a new battery. I've only had the phone for about two years, but I've been tracking the battery life since I noticed the problem, and sometimes it barely loses juice over hours on a regular...

One complaint about TUC is the sudden, out of nowhere racism of the senior crew of the Enterprise, especially Kirk. It's an especially odd contrast to the end of TFF, where the Klingons and the TOS crew are drinking together on the ENT-A. I don't think the sudden racism was necessary for the...
