Yeah, I think they should take more chances or something, and not just with nudity and language. Yeah, now that you mention it, I get what you mean about holodeck eps, but I just wanted one so I could play with it. And I don't see why some of those things couldn't change anything; we've all been changed by stuff we've read or watched, or we wouldn't be here, right?
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Picard going into the holodeck, turning off the "safeties", and killing a Borg with a tommy gun? TV writing all the way.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Okay geeks: Which surname figures prominently in both Trek and Batman lore?
(I just stumbled across this tidbit but I expect others know it.)

Where did you watch the first episode of TNG? Did you have a geek gathering of friends?
Saw it in college, in a dorm room, with a group of friends. We were...disappointed.
DS9 was my show, BIG TIME. It only took them a season to work the kinks out. TNG seemed to take longer, and be more inconsistent once they did.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Dana is quick on the draw!
I didn't know that was Spock's mother's maiden name. But I bet it's hard currency in the land of fanfic crossovers.
