I think Katey Sagal should do that dressed as Peggy Bundy, complete with cigarette.

Oh, Riker? Yeah, he was...grmph.

But the reason I screamed about the intro (no matter who was saying it) was because they changed it from the original "...where no man has gone before." That was a REALLY big deal for this sci-fi geek girl.

"Pillocks", Gobshites" and "Numpties" are also acceptable.

"Donna Troy" is Wonder Girl from "The New Teen Titans". ...and I am a huge nerd.

A lot of people really like the show. I just didn't like too many characters.

I thought they way over-played the android's "existentialism", the kid was annoying as fuck and Riker was supposed to be the heartthrob or whatever and just came off as a total douche. I don't think that's what they were shooting for but he wasn't half as cool as he thought he was.

Anyway, there were just enough things to sour the whole thing for me. A few cast changes would have made all the difference to me.

Because I never saw two of those things. The one I did see I only saw enough episodes to realize I didn't like it.

I know Picard because how can you not know Picard. I couldn't name anyone else on the show.

I liked that they let the annoying, teenage nerd boy actually, like, DO SHIT, even though he was Fucking Annoying Goddamned Wesley

And I had a mega boy-crush on Badass Tasha Yar (that is her official name, don't argue with me about it!).
