Pongo's Review of Rocky... 5,000:

Haven't seen it.  Presumably, Rocky wins.

[Particle Person]

Rocky doesn't win in every movie, though.

I'm glad they "cast" Corin Nemec.  That guy can't lose.

I wonder if anyone else got this besides me.  Do the young folks know about Parker Lewis Can't Lose?

Anyway, "Q Who" is probably where TNG really started to get interesting.  The first appearance of the Borg and it was actually excellent in almost every way... easily, I think, the best episode of the first two seasons.  You put "The Royale" above this, Parsifal? 

Every Q episode in the series is good, in my opinion. Voyager has about 4 Q episodes. Two of which involve Q's son, Q.

My favourite part was when Sysko punched Q in the face.

My presumptions have been incorrect before.  Like in the 6th Sense. I was convinced that they kid was schizophrenic.  Turns out he was just playing make believe.

[Particle Person]

Well you know what they say about presumptions.

Oh, was that in season 2? I thought it was season 3. Q Who is a fantastic episode, yes, although since it comes after The Royale, I'd still say that The Royale is where TNG starts getting good.

I'm not sure how I'd compare them episode-for-episode. They're both great in very different ways.

I see your point but I'd still contend "Measure of a Man" is the first really good TNG episode.

11001001 is my favorite 1st season TNG episode.

[Roundy]

Right now I'm at the midpoint of one of the high points of TNG: "Best of Both Worlds".

[Roundy]

They should have had Riker give the "Space" The Final Frontier" speech at the beginning of the second part.  As a tease.

My favorite cliffhanger ever.

Just got to the 3rd season of Enterprise. I'm enjoying the shift in tone a lot. It seems like this is when the show really becomes something unique. It's darker and less optimistic now, whereas the first 2 seasons seemed like a total rip of the basic Trek formula... although it feels closer in tone to Battlestar Gallatica now. I was pleasantly surprised by the shift despite that, mainly because I haven't been spoiling anything for myself this time around. Archer is becoming a lot more interesting, simply because he's willingly to kill some guys to get shit done and seems much more aware of his role as captain of the Enterpise. He's no longer doing stupid things, like getting involved in situations that he shouldn't be, and he actually seems to be following his own version of the "prime directive" now, despite the fact that there is still no prime directive in place. T'pol's development is... uh, ok I guess. I predicted her shift from Vulcan behavior to a more human-like character as early as season 1, so it wasn't very surprising. Every character is getting a lot more development this season as well, which is always a good thing.
