That's the point. It WASN'T a Star Trek episode at all. The writers used it like a mirror. It reflected our current state. It used ST:TNG to show us how stupid we are. (It was based on the original series with Capt Kirk fighting a Space Lizard) We speak in metaphors or sound bites we all share from the (((Hollywood studios))) that raised us. Go ahead punk, make my day. I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit; it's the only way to be sure. Stifle yourself, Edith. ...a 3 hour tour. Heeeeeeeeeres Johnny! Space, the final frontier. lol Of course it was retarded. Watch it again. Temba, his arms wide.
