Does this remind anyone else of an American trial of a celebrity who got off on a heinous crime that everyone really knows he committed, but obviously jurors just couldn't believe it of a beloved sports hero?  (his name is synonymous witha popular breakfast beverage) Yeah, i think there's going to be more to him.  BUT, I don't think he's smarter than he lets on.  I think that like his American muggle counterpart, he got lucky and probably had really good representation!  Somehow, we all have to live with the knowledge that evil people sometimes run free.

Wellll, the chemistry in The Next Generation was pretty hot and Riker and Troi are getting married in the new movie that's being made right now!  I read it at the official ST website!  AND we know that Crusher and Picard get married sometime in the future (final episode of series reveals this).<balancing on the edge of OT, arms flailing> SO, I think that some of the characters could be paired off (like Ron and Hermione or the ship of your choice), BUT I don't think it will be a tidy package.  Just like in real life, someone will get their feelings hurt, they'll deal with it and move on.  I think that Hermione and Ginny will both be "maneaters"!
