Sorry. That episode simply never happened, and you'll not convince me otherwise. (spoilers likely)

Actually, I just watched the first three eps; plenty of laugh tracks throughout. (Though I seem to recall that Sorkin was forced into it by the network.)

Then I’m sorry.

For that simply never happened.

I was never that much of a Wesley-hater so for ST: TNG I’m going with Genesis. Troi turning into a frog-person, Riker a caveman, Picard a lemur and a strange proto-Worf were all bad enough, but Beverly Crusher acts completely brain-damaged for the entire episode (“Those look like venom glands - let me put my face right next to your mouth to look at them. Aagh!”) and laughs off her little “oops, I created a plague that infected the whole crew” mistake at the end even though a couple of crew members actually died (killed by the Worf-thing). Ha ha! What larks!

Also, while I try not to worry too much about ST science-y stuff, I am very sure that cats did not evolve from iguanas. Really they didn’t. Even Ed Wood would have balked at that.

I remember taking issue with Beverly’s contention that diseases are traditionally named after their first identified sufferers. I can think of plenty of diseases that were instead named for the doctor or doctors who first described them. I would like to think that she was so embarrassed at her fuck-up that she passed the naming off to Barclay.

There was a very subtle one in the first episode (go to 3:40).

I think it was on a few more after that, but I’m not about to go through them all to check.

You guys really need to get your hearing checked.

It is a pity that the original show The Prisoner only had 16 episodes, they were all so good. One more couldn’t have hurt could it?
Shame really.
Be seeing you.

What I appreciate about The Prisoner is that not only was there not a 17th episode, but that the 16th wrapped things up so well*. I credit the fact that they didn’t let McGooHam write the finale – George Markstein and David Tomblin came through with their usual brilliant plotting and dialog.

I disagree that “Just Shoot Me” was piss poor–just average. That being said, that particular episode (if I may use a sports comparison) was like a baseball player who never hits more than a .285 average and 20 home runs per season suddenly hitting .360 with 55 home runs for one year before returning to his normal offensive numbers the following season.

The final episode of Dollhouse (aired tonight). It was completely unnecessary; the series actually ended just before the “Ten years later” title in the previous one.

I’m glad they never had a BSG episode with, say, a John Hodgeman cameo, because that would just be lame for everyone involved. I’m also glad Phillip Pullman quit when he was ahead, because The Golden Compass was a great book and I’d hate to see that awesome female protagonist turn into a fawning glorified penis-cozy in subsequent books the same way that, say, Stephen King never wrapped up It.
