I found that confusing too.
Hmm, I wonder how they could pull off a Simpsons holodeck program.
If this were true (and I don’t believe it was), it’s only because she was standing next to Charlize Theron. :o
Shut up, all yez sticklers. It’s TV. Enjoy it or watch another channel. 
I concur that it may have been the weakest story line yet, and you could see what was coming a mile away (I mean, who hadn’t call the Kelly-Pria fight by the second commercial break?), and time-travel is never done right in SF, but that said…
The good point is that the story (even if somewhat lame) is being told well by the characters, and much more believably (IMHO) than TNG, which often felt…stiff and stuffy. These characters act like people we know (and maybe even don’t care for at times) and that lets them carry on past the bumps in logic.
IMHO as always. YMMV.
sigh Gorgeous Polack cross. They looked natural, with some plumbing to jack them up. Have a pal who manages boobs for a living, though she tends to aid the over-endowed. And is married. 
Okay, this annoys me. There is no “conventional understanding” of time travel. We have no idea what might or might not happen, and you can find holes in virtually all fictional time travel stories.
All I care about is if the show treats time travel consistently. They can make up whatever rules they want*, but then they’re stuck with them.
*And they did have some rules. Mercer actually referred to collapsing a quantum something-or-other by blowing up the wormhole, which made it clear that they could choose any one of the many-worlds quantum states that would result. It was brief, but it was there. And yes, this fucks with the timeline, which is why the Union doesn’t fuck with the timeline - a point Mercer made a few times.
There was an off-Broadway play a few years ago that touched on this idea. In Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play, the Simpsons episode Cape Feare keeps getting retold over a span of 75 years after a disaster wipes out all forms of electronic entertainment. It explores how people’s memories change over time and how traditions get stated and morph into something all its own. very interesting.

I’ve seen Mr. Burns live (twice!) and I can vouch that it’s a great piece of theater that really changes the way you think about art and the way it relates to the culture experiencing it.
Probably way too deep a subject matter for a workplace-comedy Star Trek knockoff, though. 
Zooty. . . Zoot zoot!
There’s a pretty forgettable post-apocalypse movie, with Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey, Reign of Fire that has a scene where adults recreate Star Wars for a bunch of children. The adults are playing out the “Luke, I am your father” moment and kids react with surprise and delight. It’s a really cute scene that deserved a better movie.
Huh. I missed your reference to R & Z (sorry about that) and managed to make the same kind of comment independently (great minds!)
I think that was the weakest episode so far. Hate the time travel angle but overall still entertaining.
The setup for the leg dropping out of the overhead worked on me. I couldn’t help cracking up over it.
No one must ever forget. All music styles beyond instrumental Jazz completely stopped in next -Gen cultural history. That is it. Only that far, and no further*. Classic rick and roll, pop, proto punk, punk, post punk, hard rock, all are artistically worthless. All musical styles stops where Will needs to play his trombone. Well, heavy metal does exist, as a hallmark of that barbaric culture that adopted that human. But is completely unknown to Picard and Dr. Crusher. Never existed. Completely stopped.
Point is, that is also peculiar.
*And they’ll pay for having gone this far.
I must have missed something. I got it was Molloy’s leg, and that Isaac had hidden it in the ceiling, but why did he put it in Priya’s room? Just turned out that way? And why did it choose to fall at that particular moment? Did someone do something to trigger it? 
Sure. But within the necessities of this plot – especially because it was an extremely important plot point – the audience needed to understand the reference immediately. Seinfeld meant that you didn’t have to explain the show they were watching, whereas something made up would just confuse the issue.
I think the idea that there’s constant turnover and they may hire people off the books. Since they’re probably a long way from any central authority, they can play fast-and-loose with regulations and not bother keeping up the paperwork.
And in Voyager, too. Haven’t seen enough of DS9 to comment.
“And I am Zoot. Just Zoot.” :o
Has no one caught the similarity between Isaac having his consciousness transferred into the ship’s computer and Picard experiencing the same thing in “Lonely Among Us”? Even the resolution was the same: “Does the Captain want a Junior Mint?” and “‘P’ for Picard.”
I wonder if people 400 years from now will find ***Seinfeld ***(or any other TV sitcom) amusing. I know we still laugh at Shakespeare’s comedies, but still…
I’ve been watching reruns of Bewitched, The Partridge Family, and ***MTM ***in the afternoon lately. Of the three, the first one holds up the best (they’re all early episodes, with Dick York and the original Mrs Kravitz).
It was not Logical!
It a stupid sight gag and it just happened to work for me at least.
