...script by Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore, the Enterprise is sailing through space, with its Frisbee contours and fabulous tail fins, toward mop-up duty in the Federation's war against its ugliest nemesis. The Borg are flying back to the 21st century to prevent the first rendezvous between humans and benevolent extraterrestrials, then to "assimilate" all earthlings and turn them into crusty, cranky robots. Picard, who has been denied active duty for the very reason he needs to fight--because of his earlier assimilation by the Borg--disobeys orders and, y'know, saves the galaxy...
Still, as with Clinton, not everyone believes Gingrich can stick to the script. "It can't just be a one-night theme," said Gingrich friend Ken Duberstein. "It must be a governing philosophy." Early Wednesday morning Gingrich said he had an "obligation, frankly, to reach out" to Clinton.

...Neato-Man, who switches personae from mama's boy to bully to sexy, self-assured superhero in the three-way tug-of-war over "Horatio." At the heart of the story is the question, "Will Larry agree to give up his identity and become 'Horatio'?" Towards the end, the script dips into banality, pitting Larry against the Cap'n in the worn-out opposition between the "Get a real life" and "Live your dream" schools of thought. Overall, however, great lines ("You can't have sex without love!" "What are you, kidding? It's an American tradition!") and the chance...
