1->I actually think that [[Creator/TellySavalas Savalas]] plays one of the better Bond villains in the series, one of the best developed. I just think he’s hampered by following [[Creator/DonaldPleasence Pleasence]], which means that he has to inherit all these design attributes that attempt to connect him to his predecessor -- the cat, the costume, that sort of thing. The problem is that these trappings don’t suit Savalas as well as they suited Pleasence and, as a result, he occasionally looks a bit uncomfortable. I have no doubt that -- had Savalas been playing a character free of the burden of following Pleasence -- he’d be regarded as one of the strongest Bond villains in the canon.

4->Kirk says, "It wouldn't be the ''Enterprise'' without a Sulu at the helm". Well, it wouldn't be an ''Enterprise'' that looked like it belonged as the flagship, at any rate. I've harped on it before, but the other ''Enterprise'' designs really weren't great. From the "''[[Series/TheLoveBoat Love Boat]]'' with heavy artillery" used in ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]]'' to the souped-up "Does this look any more intimidating? Please say yes!" model in the ''[=NextGen=]''-cast films to the lackluster salad trivet that Creator/ScottBakula [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise was the captain of]], nothing can really match the sleek and elegant simplicity of the original ''Enterprise'', NCC-1701, [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E4Relics no bloody A, B, C, or D]].

7->Janeway and Kim going dewy eyed at the thought of living back in the days of [=Kirk and McCoy=] is enough to make you want to [[SuckinessIsPainful self harm]] -- especially Harry who dreams of what it would be like to live back in those unpredictable times. Kim you young chump, [[PretenderDiss you wouldn’t last five minutes.]]

10->Finally, though the Music/JohnWilliams music never gets old, cribbing the style of the closing credits from [[Film/SupermanTheMovie the films]] was just grossly unnecessary and reminds us that despite the few new layers this show has added to the mythos generally, it's been hobbling along in utter dependence on the specific feelings and associations we've acquired ''somewhere else.''\
11Is that any kind of legacy?
