Yeah I realised half way through typing that comment about cold tea, that it's drunk over there (you weirdos :). Anyway HOT tea should be the default setting on the replicator.

I think he says it that way to distinguish between cold, warm, warmer, almost hot, and hot. In one episode of DS9 Kira is seen walking away from a replicator and gingerly sipping on what is obviously a hot beverage, so Odo asks her why she doesn't just order it at a slightly lower level. She replies that it slows down the experience having it just a little too hot to start with

I don't know. Shatner reprising his role as Kirk in the movie Generations wasn't particularly inspiring.

I thought he did ok. But then you don't expect much from Shatner in the acting department. On a similar note, I have my doubts about Frakes' acting ability. Has he actually been in anything else?

We went behind the camera into directing and production right after TNG. He has done a lot of cameo's and supporting roles, but nothing major. But given his overall career he's kept himself busy post-trek. (41 directing credits).
 
Yup, directing credits. All due respect to him, but I think he has better 'behind the camera' talents, and I reckon he knows it. I notice his name is popping up as the director for some TNG episodes.
 
Just seen an interesting episode - "Second Chance", in which there's a freak transporter accident creating TWO William Rikers. One of which spent 8 years stuck on a planet.
It raises some interesting questions. How would you get on with a clone of yourself? How alike would you be if you'd spent 8 years with different experiences?
It certainly put counsellor Troy in a strange situation (great performance from Sirtis btw). How could she separate her feelings for two men who are effectively the same person?
I knew they couldn't both stay on the Enterprise. Besides, is the universe big enough for two Rikers?!
 
Truth.

I just watched an episode of Voyager this morning called "Drone" where the Doctor's holoemitter is fused with 7 or 9's nanoprobes creating a Borg drone with 27th century technology. (The Trekspeak is thick in this series ;) ) I particularly liked that episode and were wondering what everyone's favorite Borg episodes were. Mine would have to be "I Borg" where we meet Hugh for the first time.
 
Whichever episode introduced 7 of 9 into the crew. I know i saw it but have no idea what the episode was called. Thinking back though it was probably called "7 of 9". Not very subtle "ST: Voyager.

I like anything with the Borg in it, but would have to go for Locutus in "Best of both worlds".
I also like "Q" as a character. He should get a spin off series.

"The Best of Both Worlds": that was TNG at its finest, right there.

That's funny cuz I just watched an episode of DS9 Where the "other" Riker tricked Kira into getting him control of the Defiant

I think mine is Scorpion parts 1 and 2 (Voyager season 3 finale/season 4 opener) the introduction of species 8472 ... It was cool as an intro for 7 of 9 and to see the Borg get b*tch slapped.

They explain that in Episode 160 (Season 7, episode 8) "Attached". :D

Just seen that one.

Picard's true feelings for Crusher are revealed in their mind link.
But I can't help thinking that the situation isn't resolved at all. In fact Crusher seems to lead him on to expect something more, then leave him hanging at the end of the episode. All it did was stir up his feelings again. Can't help thinking that their relationship can't go back to what it was before.
