But I watched it now.Didn't care much for the story, the scenarios just didn't mesh well into a story, and it was mostly going through the scenarios without doing much. In a way, I actually found the fake-out idea what was really behind it more interesting than the actual show. The "benevolent arrogance" from the alien was just not as satisfying as Q's antagonistic challenges or Trelane's spoiled child attitude.The thing I liked is actually Mercer's "philosophy" on death. Because it really matches more closely to my thoughts. I always disagree when people say death is somehow desirable to happen to someone. There are all kinds of evolutionary and physical reasons why it "must" happen, but I still don't like the concept, I don't like the idea of my existence being over (and I can't imagine it really, even though it should be easy, because I haven't existed for a very long before I suddenly did). I want to see what happens, too. I take immortality, thank you very much. ---WIth the latest "political" episode.. It was okay, and the Kree suddenly turning into good friends was a bit too easy. Unfortunately I completely forgot anything about Mercer's Kree "Ex", it's been too long, so her return didn't mean as much as it might have to others. It also reminded me that Seth Maclane isn't really a strong actor, because his response to meeting his kid just lacked the emotional impact it should have. Though the characters decision to not use her as political leverage was admirable (but not surprising for the kind of show it is.)</blockquote>
