I think he explains it a bit above, that the show in the later seasons starts to be not about 'Sheldon' anymore I think he means when he says 'ensemble' cast. But hey for me and you... I think that was the good part of the show... right? And maybe you and I are still watching: "George and Mandy". To me, even in reruns the show is very fun to watch. The finale of 'YS' is awesome too.

This article is completely false on many s. They have not even watched the movies. 1st) Insurrection made multiple references to using the Holodeck and Holodeck technology. The bad guys were beemed on to a Holodeck version of the ship, and they only figured out they were in their own hollowship after seeing a mistake in the projection. Plus they were using that technology from the beginning of the movie, to mask the Duck-Blind. 2nd) In Nemesis. Where was the Riker and Troi's wedding? Are we sure that it did not take place in a Hollowsuite? It was not a Betazoid traditional wedding. So the idea that this took place in a Hollowdeck is likely. I believe the article should just be deleted because of how wrong it is.

While this season has been absolutely riveting... It may get too bogged down in the Soapy-ness of Lex's lies, and not in something more entertaining. It is still an really interesting season. I think it is a stretch to see the public and the police not interested in Lex for multiple reasons. Yet they never depict law enforcement, because it's a DC show and the meta-humans are the focus. This latest episode, making it a war of PR...is interesting... it is true the 'internet' public will believe, anything. But you gotta imagine, a world with Superman, and their hero being Superman, for many years, it would be pretty hard to turn a public against him in favor of a criminal that served for many years. So I do find it hard to swallow that pill so easily. Sure a bricked thrown through the window. It's not like he was accused of 'm-lesta-tion' or something. Or hiding a pile of human bones. Yet there are bones in the closet of Lex's closet.

As with even real-life human bad guys... Do they actually serve the higher power? Or do they actually serve themselves? They generally serve their masters, as long as it is convenient for them. They will turn on their masters on a dime if it suited their needs, loyalty is generally not a thing. Conversely, for the light-side, loyalty is a religious part of the job, and they do get something out of it, in theory. In real life, those that are good, struggle to see what they get out of being loyal... Dooku, also struggled with this... That was written in the story... He saw corruption within the Jedi's moral nature, and questioned their practices, and maybe rightly so. However, his questions.. then led him too far into the evil side.

But I think the retconn is fine, in that when we see him in 'Homefront', and he has new organs... we should infer that he probably wasn't able to cook for some time prior to that. So the wording in 'Emissary' is ok. He also is a stubborn old-coot, and who knows how long he was putting off getting the procedures. He may have been bedridden. Even with the new-organs, he is counseled how much he is exerting himself.
