The one where they find Scotty and a Dyson Sphere built by aliens smart enough to make one but dumb enough to put it around an unstable star.

Re: ONGEG Video: Relics
A very nice review, Sonnenburg. Your jokes were very amusing, especially with Riker being a continuity hound. It seems a good job for a first officer for some reason.
I loved this episode growing up and the jokes just made it more enjoyable.

Re: ONGEG Video: Relics
Yes, your Scotty/Riker exchanges and the comments on continuity were excellent.
Re: ONGEG Video: Relics
Loved your explanation of the Dyson-sphere concept - that was, basially, a dyson sphere in a nutshell

Great review.

Re: ONGEG Video: Relics
God; those Riker/Scotty conversations were one of the most hilarious things you have done in these reviews. Good work. The idea of Riker saying 'I call no waysies!' just cracked me up. Sounds more like something Rimmer would say. (There's no point running Lister! I've got Bagsies!)

Re: ONGEG Video: Relics
I give the episode a slightly higher score of 9/10, the Dyson Sphere alone (despite a few scientific lapses) was well realised in special effects that were impressive for a medium budget TV show from the early to mid 1990s. Season Six is arguably my favourite TNG season.

'Secondly, I don't see why "income inequality" is a bad thing. Poverty is not an injustice. There is no such thing as causes for poverty, only causes for wealth. Poverty is not a wrong, but taking money from those who have it to equalize incomes is basically theft, which is wrong.' - Typical Randroid

Is it just me, or is the volume on this one lower than it was for "Shuttlepod One"? I can't hear it very well and I've got my headphone and volume turned up.
