The Most Disliked Episode of TNG - Season 2...

[NigellaDeanna20]

For me, Shades Of Gray. Could have been a great episode but ended up being a bloody clip show.

Of course, the whole thing of we're making weapons that get harder and harder to fight doesn't make much sense. When you go to war, you don't start with crude weapons and then move on to more sophisticated ones, you go immediately to the best you got, and so does your enemy.

These football pantyhose container weapon things are like the Borg - they're scouts that accumulate knowledge and adapt and get stronger with each new iteration that appears.

Dude, your sig is out of control. There’s a posted limit of four lines so please do some strategic pruning.
