Hear, hear! I've been toying with the theory that whenever a thought that demonstrated itself to be cohesive within the Voyager and Trek writing staffs, Braga would liberally apply a Tazer to the person having the thought, thereby preventing them from being able to have another cohesive thought again. >> Dweeb 1: Let's see, first we'll have them go as fast as anyone can. >> Dweeb 2: Then there's some terrible consequence of going that fast! >> Dweeb 3: Can we work some SEX into this?

What made it more interesting was that the first time I read this -- I thought that he was talking as though Braga had three different personalities bidding for attention. It would certainly make sense, especially when you realize Braga's attraction for Titpole and Seven of Sixty-Nine. >> Yeah, I'd love to have been a fly on the wall at Trek central. >> >> Seriously, if this episode isn't the absolute worst star trek episode >> ever, I don't know what is.

Now there's an episode that up until you mentioned it -- I had blissfully blocked out of my memory. To this day I still deny ever having seen it. >> It's just too bad they didn't work some encounter with the Jupiter II, >> lost in the Delta Quadrant.
