I love that one!  Data: "I busted him up!"  Great episode.  I have 
that ST book, too, and I have made it a point to expose all my kids 
to ST.  The oldest is turning into a fanatic, which is funny, 
because I have to tell him sometimes, "Honey, I am so tired of 
hearing about Galaxy class starships.  Can we talk about something 
else?" ;D  I've created a monster.

I remember when the last ep aired, I was devastated.  I was 
thinking, "What am I going to watch NOW?"  It was terrible.  But, 
then, Voyager came along and Tom Paris stole my heart.  And I loved 
Janeway!

Ahh, Dax.  Loved Terry Ferrel - she was WOrf's equal.  I never did 
like the next Dax.  Thank heavens it was only for the last season.

I know!  I feel the same way!  I watched that scene and 
thought, "Oh, no, here we go."  It like they have to have a 
voluptuous female in a tight suit just to please the demographics.  
Scott Bakula is great and I loved him in "Quantum Leap,"  but I just 
can't watch Enterprise.
