The first two seasons of TNG were utter crap, dude. If I see an episode with Yar, beardless Riker, Pulaski, or Wesley (okay, he was there later, but still), I know it’d be more fun to drill a hole in my forehead than watch the episode.

**Tracer** , I know what you mean. Some real clunkers ( I mean, really, sickeningly bad eps) really brought the average down, tho.

You’re going to have alot of DVDs by the time we’re all through. 😃

It doesn’t bode well for this episode that the last highjack… er, I mean post, happened eighteen hours ago and it only aired two days ago.

Am I the only one who actually thinks Voyager is the 2nd best Trek Franchise? The first few seasons were clunky, but once 7 of 9 joined the crew, I thought it really took off. And not just because of her “enhanced Borg physiology”. Janeway was a crappy Captain most of the time, but I thought the plot lines were very good. Especially the ones where 7 of 9 tries to integrate into the crew (like her holo romance w/ Chacotay).

Anyway, TNG had some good epsiodes, but they were few and far between.

I hope I don’t ge crucified for this…🙂

I’d put Voyager third, behind DS9 and TOS.  
John, these people who hate Janeway so much have really, really bad issues with their Mothers. They can’t help it.

I think “billed for it” is a little much, Tars.

It should be done quickly, though, lest Westley find her and they breed.

Ha! That’ll keep you awake at night, you multi green armed fiend!

Sorry, but DS9 is at the bottom.

Maybe Voyager would’ve better with Lucy Liu in the Captain’s chair.
