What was that episode Jeb just watched? I don't remember it at all.

Not sure anyone got around to naming the episode, but that's TNG Emergence.


Timby posted:

Yep. A lot of the companies that released those games--Interplay, Spectrum Holobyte, Microprose--don't even exist anymore, and the source code of some (Bridge Commander comes to mind) is believed to be lost.

Hell, Interplay had already lost the source code to Starfleet Academy's engine when they went to develop Klingon Academy!

Nope, it's still Majel Barrett Roddenberry.

You may also recognize her as Nurse Chapel from the Original Series, as almost every single computer voice in every show, and as Number One from the original original TOS pilot. Sleeping with (and eventually marrying) the boss gets you some pretty sweet acting jobs.

She’s still eccentric in her second appearance here where she’s trying to trap Picard with her womanly prowess. Except she’s much more toned down. I really loved when she first showed up and went all out on them in her first appearance.

Lwaxana's tone can kind of be all over the place, depending on the episode. She can be anything from zany comic relief to a serious character.

drat Pulaski just made a good joke about Picard banging Troi’s mom to Troi and it was the first time I really enjoyed her. If she was a little more laid back more often I think she would be really light years more enjoyable.

There's only like 16 holodecks for 1000+ people. The officers can't monopolize half of them every night.


Also, Ds9 Lwaxana is the best because Deanna isn't there to be all lame.

Why is Riker always hitting on women if he is “with” Troi

Also why is Troi the only one with a Star Fleet uniform that has an extremely deep V neck. How is that regulation.

I'm pretty sure Riker stopped being with Troi before the series started.

He's not with Troi, they just used to be together until he dumped her to advance his career.

Yep, Gene had to be talked out of that one. See also Beverly "Has the natural walk of a striptease queen" Crusher.
