'Bride of Chaotica!'

This hilarious episode illustrates how past writers have imagined the future.  Star Trek got it right a lot!  Cell phones, sliding doors, iPads, any of that a-ringin' a bell? 

It also illustrates how female characters in 1930s Science Fiction spent most of their time screaming and waiting to be rescued.

Can't imagine Captain Janeway of the Starship Voyager doing that!  Sometimes, I complain about everything we've lost over the past few decades, like general good manners, but one awesome thing we've gained is the Freedom to Choose.  That means more to me than an iPad any day of the week.  Bride of Chaotica!  and all the episodes of all seven seasons of Voyager are on Netflix, by the way.  ;)

The Doctor does a memorable job portraying the President of Earth, which, incidentally was going on during the Impeachment of President Clinton   and his line "My performance was unimpeachable" caused a bit of a stir!  That was kind of nostalgic to watch.
