[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] It wasn't pointless. What do you think a woman's like if she's said to smell like a large angry ugly alien? What do you think of a person who delivers such a line? It's blunt observations like this that will give Phlox his alien-ness. Especially interesting about the name-dropping is the fact that Berman and Braga, are, *gasp*, writing something into the script that only a tiny portion of the audience will get. Few viewers will even know what a Nausicaan is, let alone put a name to a face to an episode. As for name drops being useless. Well, let's take my favourites, the Breen. The entire culture was built-up in a series of little name drops here and there over six years. You're right about there being essentially a criticial mass of already-established names, and "Tarkalean" being a throwaway line that is truly throwaway. But why complain about an episode that uses two already-established names and recycles them? How exactly is a Nausicaan reference any different than an Andorian one? [/QB][/QUOTE]
