Okay, but they were always finding anomolies, and considering the vastness of space and the odds of happening upon any given anomoly, they start to seem like Starbucks after a while.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Our five year mission: to seek out temporal anomalies, reverse tachyon fields, and tug at the crotch of our pantsuits."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the 10-15 episodes USA continutes to taunt me with
They had been pretty good--I was watching two different threads (one with Todd, one without) and caught up to a season or two ago. But now it's all 'splodey and random.
I have to admit I haven't paid enough attention to the SyFy (when does that become official, anyway?) schedule to know if they're doing it in any sort of order. My TiVo just grabs eps every now and again.
tug at the crotch of our pantsuits
Cite one instance of crotch tugging, will you?
Sean--the times where they didn't encounter anomalies were too boring to air. How's that?

TNG, the Good Bits Version?

I never cared for TNG. Not enough fistfights, frankly. Which I believe led me to the revelation that when a show's creator is forced to compromise his grand artistic vision... it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Star Trek: TNG. The show that begs the question: at what point are anomolies common enough that they can no longer be said to be anomolous?
ZOMG. I'm with Sean, because I used to rant about this. If it happens every other week, you really ought to come up with a name for it, instead of continuing to claim that it's an anomaly.
Devil in the Dark should have been on that best episodes list. Probably instead of Doomsday Machine, 'cause... eh. But hooray for Arena. I heart Gorns.

Someone more obsessed than me needs to actually count the temporal anomaly episodes. If there were more than a handful per season (if that) I'd be surprised.
eta: On TNG...I can't speak for Voyager or Enterprise.

Exactly! Nuts making.

It's a stretch fabric pantsuit! You tug it anywhere and you get a testicular lift (if you're Picard).

Here's my Top Ten Movies Of All Time (sorry for the capital letters, but they're sorta insisting on being there): [link] Because I cheated, there's at least 17 movies on there.
There's also an aggregated Screengrab list in parts 1 - 3, if anyone's interested.

Whuhuh? Wouldn't you get more testicular room and therefore less lift? Otherwise what's the point of tugging?
Anyhoo, in the episode I'm currently watching Picard has a separate waistband, not a continuous jumpsuit like the women.
