Loved that episode.

That, and Darmok, are the two best eps they ever did, imho.

I get the feeling the episodes are completely minced in editing.

I think you're right.

we learned more about him in deed than in words

Good point. :)

It looked just as dorky in this ep as when Frodo jumped on the back of invisible!Gollum at Mount Doom.

ROFL! Yeah, Riding the Invisible Baddie is really never good. :)
