I never was a fan of "The Next Generation". Imagine a show with a really hot alien chick, built like a Kligon Battlecruiser, who can read men's minds and tell when they are lying to her? The show scared the hell out of me.  ^-^

How is she built like a Klingon Battlecruiser?
And her "empathic" abilities were so very terrible. She could barely state the obvious.

There are a half dozen TOS episodes like that will always hold up.

Did you happen to notice that Edith and Jim walked by Floyd's barbershop from Mayberry, NC?

Holy Crap, all the times I've seen that episode and never spotted that! Funny, but I bet it was a budget thing more than an Easter egg. I've read how Star Trek often had to use whatever they could scrounge or film wherever they could at times. Outstanding pick up!!!

That's because you were eyeballing the girl the whole time. Star Trek did have some HOT women on the show. Or maybe that's because I was just hitting puberty about then.  :D

Before she started a 'Dynasty', she was slumming with Kirk.
