I saw some comentary somewhere saying the episode might have hit better if they’d used Ahni Jetal from “Latent Image” as the resurectee.

Isn’t there a strike on at the Times? Heh.

And it’s there again in “Time Enough for Love.” But allegedly, David Gerrold talked with him about these aspects, and it appears changed his mind: he reverses himself in “‘…The Number of the Beast’” and “To Sail Beyond the Sunset,” but oh yeah, was it jarring and disappointing to read “Stranger.”

I think it was something about Rick Berman disliking continuity-based storytelling? He was afraid it would run off new viewers? When he started focusing on Voyager, Voyager suffered, but it supposedly distracted him a lot from DS9, and let them get away with a lot more?

Threshold was awesome! Just weird as all hell. Now Retrospect: Retrospect was BAD bad.
