I found this while searching on Google. It's a list of all the wierd compounds and particles that have appeared on Star Trek, along with the episode they appear in.

I already found this gem while reading the list:

Brill cheese
Origin unknown. Contaminated cheese with a virus.
Voyager: Learning Curve - A contaminated piece of cheese threatened the entire USS Voyager.

Cheese threatening to destroy Voyager. Why am I not suprised.

ritalin
Naturally occuring. A mineral.
TOS: Requiem for Methesulah - The crew needed it to combat an epidemic on another planet.

Of ADHD perhaps?

If this was done on red dwarf it'd be waay better, as it would have evolved into a life form or something, as opposed to just infecting the gel packs.

That is true of just about any plot isn't it. Threshold and Phage would have vastly better as Red Dwarf plots than they were for Voyager. Somthing to do with decent writers and entertaining characters I suppose.

Must have been lindberger cheese.

Im surprised this hasn't made it into the STvsSW debate...just to embarsass the rabid trekkies of course.

Heh... why do you think I started going through the list in the first place?

Really, you could consider the cheese a metaphor for Trek under B&B's writing
