Who was she? From the "Drumhead"? Not Necheyev, right?

She's a character in Battlestar Galactica, and is played by the same actress that plays Ensign Ro.

Yes. She's also now on Prison Break and I keep yelling out things like, "Of COURSE you'd say that! You're Admiral Cain!"

I like Ro. Did not like Cain.

Of course, she also took George's thank you from Elaine for handing her the big salad.

"What I'd like to know is where someone gets off accepting a thank you for someone else."

"George, I just handed someone a bag."

How do you people remember the names of all these episodes? Why do I even say remember, I never knew the names of episodes in the first place?

Please tell me you are googling these and that you really do have something better to do with your minds than store the names of old Star Trek episodes.

Startrek.com. Watching Star Trek on DVD I've had to see which episode I wanted to watch (not all of them, by any means), which means finding the name to an episode I remember (or have never seen). Brief summaries online work in a snap.

But some episodes are infamously named, like "Spocks Brain".

Freaky. I didn't even recognize her.

Nope. In response to Rabbit's incredulous question.

I have flash memory sticks that are configured to work with my brain. They are a life saver.

I like memory alpha. Except that the non-cannon books I like are not really included. I understand why. But Peter David's Imazadi, Greg Cox's Eugenics Wars (1-3), To Reign In Hell, and the Q-Continuum (1-3) are cool enough that they ought to have more than a passing mention. Then again, that would necessitate all the other non-canon stuff. Oh well.

Nope. No books are considered canon.

As for cannon, I've no idea.

I think Enterprise messed up Canon a bit (though there was some retconning attempted at, I think, by the 4th season). So with all that I think Canon is TOS, All Movies, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT. I think all novellizations are out, as are all books (except maybe technical manuals?). And I read that parts of "The Final Frontier" and "The undiscovered Country" where not accepted by Roddenberry. Not sure which, though. By then, he was in an advisory position and not always listened to, from what I read.

Nothing beats the one with all the salamander sex from Voyager.

He spat out his tongue! [Angst]

(And I actually sort of like 'Spock's Brain'. It's hi-larious.)

We just watched that episode and my 9 year old laughed in all the right places. [Eek!]

ETA: Spock's Brain, hands down.

My husband and I have joked that it's so bad it's good, then it's bad again, then it's good again.

The only problem with this episode is that they didn't kill Wesley.

I really liked Wil Wheaton's review of The Naked Now.

And I had a major crush on Dr Bashir.
