According to the autists over at Memory Alpha the only mention of Mexico outside of a historical context is that Reed once visited a spa there.

Which kinda conflicts with his sudden life-long passion of archaeology in One Small Step, considering that profession generally involves a lot of camping in remote places.

Depends on where you do it I think, you could make a career somewhere ancient and urban, like Jerusalem or Bajor or whatever, without ever seeing a tent. But the writers didn't think anything through that far.

Its an expression that has only ever appeared once, its the combined embarrassment and bemusement of wearing a fleece top for a photo with a sitting president coupled the dawning terror of the realization that this nuclear-armed president is half senile and that you have an obligation to alert your Queen.

He also narrated one of those cgi heavy dinosaur documentaries. "Here is what we think a dinosaur battle royale would look like."

That was the BBC America version of Walking With Dinosaurs. The British one had Kenneth Branagh. Still the best Dino documentary ever despite its since debunked science in some cases.

Stewart tells the story that Reagan is the only person to never ask permission to sit in the captain's chair before sitting. I maintain that Reagan was an actor and used to being on sets so the veneer of of being in awe of a set piece went out the window.

It's a better documentary than a million bullshit "Allosaurus vs T. Rex fight" shows. Not to mention it still looks better than all those shows and it came out nearly twenty years ago.

Was he actually still president when he visited? I think that's a Season 3+ costume Stewart's got on because he's got the boots and pants on, but the top isn't there and the S1-2 costumes were one-piece Spandex.

Reagan was a fuckstain who was already experiencing the onset of Alzheimers. So of course he hosed around with and sat in props without asking anyone. Let's assume he knew the ettiquette for that situation, he was either to mush brained to remember or was that big of an rear end in a top hat towards the cast of a show that he probably saw as promoting a communist ideal

Ok. I'm reaching the end of my 2nd DS9 run and i intend to finish out the last few eps i didn't watch last time.

I can either go by the thread title and relive my preteen years and feel shame that i found this watchable despite remembering nothing about it, or i can go for Enterprise.

Don't really have a mood for TOS or TAS

so which is less suffering? ENT or VOY?
