One of the best parts in TNG was when Bashir and Geordi sperg out on something and mess up Data in the process.

spoilers don't work right with 219.css so sorry if you haven't seen the x-files i guess


i really like how the x-files went from "mulder is crazy" to "aliens are real and you see them sometimes" to "there is a full-on alien war going on and men in suits talk about it all the time".

i don't get how that show went from the 'monster of the week' format to stupid roswell grey alien conspiracy bullshit as the focus

with the exception of that ep where jesse l. martin played a negro league slugger who was also an alien on the lam from a bounty hunter, that was all right

i dont think it ever really went from one to the other, there was a long convoluted alien invasion that the government knew about and was abetting over the entire series

the monster of the week thing never really stopped as far as i remember

I thought it went back and forth for the most part, the alien invasion being the over-all arc that was always confusing. Anyway, the show alternated between Colonizing main arc and monster of the week, with people divided over which were better.

I prefer the monster of the week, like Humbug, Jose Chung's From Outer Space, and Bad Blood because they were comedic and entertaining.

EDIT: Best cameo ever

they just wanted Earth's resources. the Syndicate made the early contacts and realized that the only way humans could survive in any way was to let the aliens create a slave race of alien/human hybrids.

it starts out full of promise and gets all heinlein-stupid at a certain point, you'll know it when you get there. then you can decide for yourself if it is too ridiculous for you to keep reading

there was certainly a lot of alien conspiracy in season 5 (which i'm watching now) but they still do the monster of the week poo poo. last episode i saw had a blind girl who could see through the eyes of a murderer!

Can't wait for 'State of Grace' by Peter Watts. Book will be a sequal to Blindsight, although both books cover the same time frame.
