Damn, i hate Star Trek:

Aliens are never really too alien-looking, just quazy-human (budget you know).

Alien races are made to resemble one or anther of the human race (very unoriginal and mostly prejudiced).

This was explained to be because a God-like race "seeded" the galaxy. Hence Humans, Romulans, Bajorans, etc all look similarly humanoid because they are all part of the same alien diaspora.

They're Canadian, using their damned SOCIALIST health plan.

Didn't you hear? She's not stupid. She said she's "playing a role on TV". Uh-huh. The same role over several shows and several years, all on reality TV.

Socialized... not socialist. And considering they are in New Jersey (which is not in Canada) I somehow doubt that's true. On an unrelated note why is it a "damned SOCIALIST health plan"? Yay propaganda.

FFS, it was a JOKE (okay, and a dig at the Repubs, many of whom used the -ISM instead of -IZED)

I take advantage of the socialiZED health system every time I'm home.

They let you? I was out of the country for just over two years and when I went in for a checkup (for new E2 regulations) they made me pay. They told me I had to be in the country for at least 4 months or some such before I'd be covered again.

I get away with it because it's my family doctor, and I only want a prescription refilled. He's nice enough to oblige.

No-one ever uses the toilet unless it's a comedic device. People rarely stutter or say "I've forgotten what I was going to say.."

14. A few taps on the old keyboard can take any grainy, low res security camera footage and zoom in on the "perp's" face and blow it up to perfect high resolution dimensions. Then all you have to do is run the face against the FBI database and your home.

I'm not quite sure how checking a suspect's face against images of your home will help...

TV criminals, so as to guarantee capture by the police when being chased, make sure that you run upstairs. Preferably, up onto a rooftop where you'll either get trapped, shot by a marksman or plunge to your death.
