And be honest, how many of you immediately went off the Memory Alpha and Wookieepedia to search for breasts?

Did you watch the video? If you did, you'll know what I'm talking about.

*shrug* They're called "opinionated" for a reason.

And that's my opinion.

I personally saw the guy as a jackass, especially since he made cracks about Data being an android all the time as if Data was supposed to be a moron or something, and in this episode, he was an idiot...
And then there was Guinean. Who is a "noid" ugh...

Re: SFDebris: The Outrageous Okana
I had mixed feeling about this one. The Romeo and Juliet superficial plot was hackneyed to be sure. I liked the idea of a character like Okona... I mean, all that had been presented to us up until this point (aside from real villains) were starched Starfleet types or true criminals like Mudd. There has to be some sort of roguish, independent types like Okona, and it was nice to see one. However, Okona himself was really a parody or a caricature of what such a character should have been, hyperbolic and hollow.
Of course, the episode gets lots of points for including Teri Hatcher.

Not seen the review (not allowed YT at work) but I liked this episode although Okana was (as someone once wrote in these forums I think?) a poor man's Han Solo
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to
know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is
to have succeeded.”

I didn't hate it to his degree but yeah, that was a wasted hour of my life.
The fact that they had to tell you he was outrageous in the episode title tells you everything you need to know.

"The Mildly Interesting Okona" might have worked better, eh?

'The Slightly Tepid Okona'?
Meh, still like the guy. I plan on including him in a spinoff of my main SW/ST fic.
