    The less we hear of "Sabotage" in Star Trek the better

    It turns out both "sense-urs" (how I probably would naturally say it if I weren't self-conscious about it) and "sense-oars" are correct.

    The pronunciation given here as the exemplar is "sense-oar."

    Spock in TMP says "sense-oars" at least once, doesn't he? It's not as if even the smartest officer on the Enterprise gets away with just one pronounciation and this is in 1979, nearly fifteen years after the character was first created. ;)

    Reminds me of a comic I read by Charles Schultz.

    Teenage son to his dad: "Dad, my girlfriend says A-MEN and I say AH-MEN. Do you think we'll find true happiness together?"

    Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto, sen-sors, sens-oars – let's call the whole thing off.

    Perhaps I'm reaching, but does anyone else see a connection between Gary Mitchel and O'Connor?
    Since it's established that humans possess varying levels of ESP, could O'Connor's ascension meditation have been a sort of ESP training with a more spiritual name?

    Maybe AMORC survived into the 24th century.

    Giant turtle? I thought it was a giant brogmoid.

    At any rate, I rather enjoyed it. And I definitely enjoy the fact that this is not being set up as another "five-year miniseries." If I want to watch an extended story arc, I'll watch B5; JMS demonstrated complete mastery of that format.

    The Ascending scene might be one of the strangest things Star Trek has ever done. I don't know the significance of the cosmic Koala, but I like it. Also, the Sense-ors gag is something I laughed at again. This is the first great episode of the series.
