  1. This is part of the "Dax Syndrome" of the first 3 (or so) seasons, where they're really not sure what to do with her, or how to characterize her. (I"m not sure how much of it was due to the actualy and how much was due to Farrell's inability to convey any sense emotion onscreen without seeming "Fake"; it's only when that they start to figure out an arc/character for her. Of course, my perceptions of this episode could also be colored since I can't watch it without thinking of "Brigadoon", which is, IMO, a near-perfect movie. I will agree with Blueray that the "B-Plot" does almost salvage this episode. I think Kira/Oda/Quark had great chemistry together onscreen.
  2. SUMMARY; Dax falls in love with Deral who will soon disappear because he is a member of Meridian, a planet that phases between dimensions every 60 years. I hate this episode. Not to the extent of "Move Along Home" or "Profit and Lace", perhaps. But it's up there.
  3. SUMMARY: Commander William Riker shows up unannounced and Kira shows him the Defiant, where he reveals his true motives for coming to Deep Space Nine.
  4. SUMMARY: Deep Space Nine is progressively locked down after O'Brien, Jake and Sisko accidentally activate an automated Cardassian security program.
  5. SUMMARY: Quark purchases a salvaged ship from the Gamma Quadrant and discovers an infant on board.

  7. Gotta agree, Bruinsfan. In fact, more than just this particular movie, I think I'm getting superhoeroed out (and I'm a life-long comics reader!!)
  8. While the nods to the "Shared DC Universe" was OK, they really need to keep the Flash/Arrow interaction to a minimum. I found Felicity WAY more tolerable in this show than I do in Arrow though. I think she and Barry share a really nice chemistry. WHile I wouldn't be averse to them getting together, I'd prefer that they keep it at a brother/sister bond. (The final scene on the train was a grat coda for the storyline.) I find Grant Gustin really earnest in this role, which kinda works for me for this character. Not every show needs to be "Arrow" level of grim and gritty. It's nice to hacve a superhero striving to be a superhero, and not just a vigilante. (The scene where Barry can't save the guard from being frozen? Was extremely well handled and really made an impact.) Given the clues from this episode, and how protective Wells is of Barry, I think it's unlikely that I find it way more likely that
  9. She had definitely been hyping Adam since Day 1, (And granted, he is impriving, but not enough to warrant the attention Tyra gives him. I think maybe she does have a little bit of a thing for him... The judginjg system continues to mystify me. To this non-math person, it seems like the judges votes are totally arbitrary, and just designed to make sure that they counterbalance the "Social Media" score (which is given WAY too much power) to achieve Tyra's desired outcome. (As in the episode where Lenox got the "1" because Tyra KNEW that no-one was going home since Romeo got booted.)
  10. SUMMARY: Kira is kidnapped by Cardassians, surgically altered to look Cardassian and told she is actually an undercover Cardassian agent.
  11. SUMMARY: A secret from Dax's past could mean the end of the current host's life. *** "YAY! Another Dax episode!" Said no-one ever.

  15. I was just about to agree with you.... Then I realized you said "Tim" rather than "Tom". (Ha Ha Ha.) (Though I do like Timy Daily, I don't find him swoon-worthy.)
  16. Gotta add good ol' Shia Leboeuf to the Hate list. He SUCKS.
  17. OK, I'll start us off, then!!

  18. I used to love these games over on TWOP, and figured we could bring the institution over here. The rules: Once per 24 hour period, you can vote for (++) or against (--) a total of three of the items on our list. Once half the list has been eliminated, we change the ++ to + to ensure that the game doesn't last forever. We'll run through all 7 seasons, and then pick the Top 2 from each season to compete in the "Best of the Best" finale. Lets start with Season 1. EPISODES 15- Emissary 15- Past Prologue 15- A Man Alone 15- Babel 15- Captive Pursuit 15- Q-less 15- Dax 15- The Passenger 15- Move Along Home 15- The Nagus 15- Vortex 15- Battle Lines 15- The Storyteller 15- If wishes were horses 15- The Forsaken 15- Dramatis Personae 15- Duet 15- In the Hands of the Prophets
  19. It’s all from the same reality playbook. (That also includes not allowing judges to give a “Zero” as a score.) Oh, and who can forget the "Firemen" holding their "hoses"? Bwah Ha Ha. Way to keep it classy, show!!
  20. SUMMARY: Quark lies about killing a Klingon, Kozak, and is then forced to marry the widow, Grilka, founding his own 'House of Quark'. Ah, one of the better Ferengi-centric episodes. We really get a much better feel for Quark than ever before. And Grillka remains one of my favroite recurring Klingon characters (along with ol' Bug-Eyes Gowron.)
  21. SUMMARY: Odo begins to connect with his fellow Changelings as Sisko attempts to negotiate peace with the Dominion.
  22. The Bashir/Garak dynamic is one of my favroite of the entire series. Their relationship (which they started in the SECOND EPISODE of the series!!) really grows, changes and matures. If you're a Garak fan, try reading "A Stitch in Time". (It's one of the DS9 relaunch books, so it's [mostly] considered canon, I believe.)
  23. Ditto here. But Ben was a decent second-choice; he brings some of the pretty back into the competition, at least. While Adam doesn't have a chance in hell of winning (even with Tyra CLEARLY angling for a man to win after last seasons debacle!), I"m enjpying seeing his slow evolution, and he's just so pretty in his photo-shoots! With Denzel (and his fake-ass "Beard Weave") gone, I now have to roll my eyes only HALF as much as I have 'til now. Though Mirjana does give me facial tics whenever she's onscreen. Seriously? In earlier seasons, she would have been BOOTED for the all the shit she's engineered! They really need to dump her ratchet ass.
  24. Honestly, I"m not sure why I'm still watching this show... It was one of the shows that I was most looking forward to this season, and it's been bitterly disappointing....
  25. Agree 100%. I absolutely hope to see more of both Matthew and Ben in the future. Wow, it’s like all you guys are in my head. Also agree 100%. That’s a rhetorical question, right? Did you hear her talking at panel about “tooching the booch” and whatnot? Christ, it’s like I need a “Tyra to English” dictionary!
