I am not a dog person -- hate the beasts actually -- but would buy a dog if you gave me the park coordinates.

The usual problem with Star Trek and its children is that the things that seemingly delight the scriptwriters bore the audience who seek PLOT! Q for example: when everything is possible, nothing matters. The Ferengi: can anything be less interesting than the Ferengi? And -- referrring to the ostensible theme of this thread -- anything to do with the Holodeck, especially when it goes wrong (oh, yawn).

And Wesley Crusher. Although the lying students episode was pretty good.
