Bad language

"A rather average episode of the original series.", "Yes, that's John de Lancie in that motorcycle helmet! Recognize the voice? Yes, it's the same actor that played the infamous Q in Star Trek: the Next Generation." - Sounds pretty POVish and un-encyclopaedic language. MatthewFenton 06:03, 4 December 2006 (CST)

Yes. One or more contributors lately has been placing non-neutral language in analysis sections, While the information is interesting, its tone is not, so please neutralize the writing as you encounter it. --Spencerian 06:48, 4 December 2006 (CST)

Though that's one of the worst (best?) examples, a lot of the TOS articles read more like personal reviews than wiki articles. Not sure how far that has been fixed yet --Serenity 10:47, 4 December 2006 (CST)

I've reworked much of the episode guide, particularly the Analysis section. Please comment, change, or modify as you deem fit. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 13:18, 4 December 2006 (CST)

Screencaps of John de Lancie's walk-on role

In a couple weeks, John de Lancie (of Star Trek fame, "Q") will be at a Dutch con (as will the prettiest woman on BSG, Luciana Carro). I'm told he can be seen in this episode. Where can I find screencaps? Or would anyone kindly cap the very short scene? Thanks. -- Pedda

I can take the screencap... Actually, I did take one, but it's of him in a group. (He's the second from the left, if I recall correctly.) However, you won't be able to see much of his face because, well, it's covered in a glorified stunt-driver helmet that covers his nose and mouth. See Nationalists#Related imagery. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:43, 4 October 2007 (CDT)

Frak, doesn't look that good. But thanks for your quick reply! -- Pedda 15:55, 4 October 2007 (CDT)

No problem! Yeah, sadly, there aren't any closeup shots of the character. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:57, 4 October 2007 (CDT)
