->''"I remember watching 'Duet' and thinking that here was a ''Trek'' series willing to push the franchise and go into new and powerful territory. I also remember watching 'Move Along Home' and wondering if everyone had lost their minds. (Not that I had much room to talk as the proud author of [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration 'Aquiel' and 'Rascals.']])"''

->''Troi and Worf both act like a calamity has befallen them but I often like to gauge a threat by how satisfying it would be if this was the thing that brought those characters down for good. If Troi and Worf were [[HolodeckMalfunction killed in a holodeck western surrounded by copies of Data]] it would be quite a bizarre end to their characters. The second everyone stops having fun it becomes a really bizarre threat.''

->''"... {{mirror universe}} episodes often feel a little bit like watching a staff party, as actors and writers are given a temporary reprieve from the characters and grounding of the show to just play out some crazy adventures."''

->''"On the Grand Scale of Kinda Crappy Sci Fi/Fantasy TV Show Episodes About Reincarnation, this one ranks just under the episode of ''Series/{{Xena|WarriorPrincess}}'' where she came back as a South Carolinian college professor so that she could fight Nazis in World War II. But only ''just''."''

->''"The look on Avery Brooks’ face when he has to perform the ‘Allermaraine’ rhyme and hopscotch dance! It might be Nana Visitor who says this is not what I signed up for but the feeling behind that sentiment is exemplified in Brooks’ pained expression."''

->''"For all its overstated absurdity, Crossover is a pretty shrewd piece of television. The episodes building off Crossover never quite manage to capture that sense of canny intelligence, instead wallowing in the 'hey! our cast are all {{large ham}}s!' enthusiasm of it all. The subsequent mirror universe episodes often feel a little bit like watching a staff party, as actors and writers are given a temporary reprieve from the characters and grounding of the show to just play out some crazy adventures."''

->''The peculiar genius of ''Film/TheApple'' is that every time it appears that the film cannot get any crazier, it ratchets up the weirdness to almost indescribable levels. It belongs to the curious subset of movies so all-consumingly druggy and surreal that [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeonDrugs they make audiences feel baked out of their minds even when they're stone-cold sober]]. ''The Apple'' is both [[SoBaditsGood the perfect mind-f*ck to see while high]] (on life of course, this column in no way wishes to promote the disgusting, disgusting practice of consuming drugs) and a movie that makes drugs seem redundant and unnecessary.''
