Battlestar Galactica

U doesn't count, as there was a single Borg drone in the episode.  Lore's Borg weren't real Borg.  And you're skipping the most critical part of the pussification of the Borg:  Star Trek Voyager.

What is this 'Voyager' you speak of?  I do not know of anything called 'Voyager'.  'Voyager' does not exist in my own universe.

That's the way I am about that Q thing you mentioned.  A Q is a plot device for writers too hackish to bother creating something interesting, and we know that no such thing could (or need) exist in the true ST universe.

Given that Q appears in the first episode of TNG, wich was written by Gene Roddenburry, I think you are wrong

Also, there has been similar alien entities with god like powers in the past ST universe.

Now, you tell me Q was over used in the entire series, I'll agree with you.  I remember at least once in TNG and once in DS9 were Q didn't need to be there at all.

Roddenberry is a hack

Roddenberry: Ron Moore of his generation?

I think your facts are far likelier to make people support my position than the reverse.  As a writer, Roddenberry was a mediocre producer.

None written so badly.  Previous godlike beings were used by decent writers to make specific points, not to dodge them.  Hell, TNG had one of the best shows about the implications of omnipotence ever.

We disagree on the number of times he shouldn't have been used, that's all.

I'm not saying Roddenburry was a genius like Lucas... ahem, wrong point, delete that
I'm only saying that, as the man who wrote the Star Trek universe, it feels kinda silly for us to say this or that doesn't belong in that universe.  It's his universe, so he gotta know about what belongs or not in his own vision.

That's it

Romo Lampkin is infuriatingly awful.

What the hell are you talking about!?  Romo is awsome.

Oh wait - you're one of those who think HBO's 'Rome' is a classic. *shakes head*

Oh, I was just playing alojng with your "there is no Voyager" bit.  In reality, alas, there was both Q and Voyager (though I'd watch a random Voyager episode before the random Q episode).

What about the Voyager episodes with Q?

If you think I care at all about your opinion on cultural matters, you are sadly mistaken.  You make Martinus look like the witty,  urbane sophisticate he thinks he is.

I'm not so sure.  There were at least two good Q episodes:  The one with the Borg and the series finale.  Even if there were two good Voyager episodes, your odds of watching one in the sea of filth is much smaller.

Which episode are you referring to?

well, in fact, there were good episodes of Voyage.  The problem is that the series as a whole is no good.
