[For my daily workout, I'm pedaling on a recumbent exercise bike while watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. I'm posting my reviews here.] (198.0 pounds) It started off like Romeo and Juliet, but it ended up in tragedy… This episode has no real story, at least not one the characters inside it do much about.

New Review Up: The Sherlock Holmes Handbook

ExerTrek: The Schizoid Man
[For my daily workout, I'm pedaling on a recumbent exercise bike while watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. I'm posting my reviews here.] (198.6 pounds) Oh, boy: another “scientist taking over someone’s body” episode. This is better than some, I guess: at least Brent Spiner does an interesting turn as an arrogant and amorous genius, [...]
