-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

"......if there was a worm infestation plot it would have to reinstate a scene similar to the one I've seen designs for that would have been in TNG episode but were deemed to 'gorey' for trek."
There was a "gory" scene at the end of "Conspiracy". As I understand it, British TV simply refused to show it.
Unless you're talking about something else.

Only a complete dork would complain about a Trek show displaying a little breast or foreplay. Come on people, we are talking about adults playing adult games here. How do you think YOU came to be? They won't all be test-tube babies in the future.
And THAT wasn't Roddenberry's vision either.

The BBC cut it completely. You saw Remmeck's (sp?) next swell, then Riker and Picard fired, and a squelching noise was heard.
Sky showed Remmeck's skin dissolving, but cut away before it burst (I think it bursts. I'm not sure).
However, this was before the apparent relaxation in censorship laws in about 2000. I haven't seen it on TV since then (it's been on, I just haven't seen it) so there's a chance they're put the scenes back in.
I do remember some artwork in something, possibly the Art of Star Trek, which showed that it was going to be ever gorier than shown though.

It was. The RC2 DVDs of TNG are uncut. But even the UK Videotape I bought a couple of years back has the whole scene uncut. That's the newer TNG video edition (with 4 eps per tape and different packaging to the first edition) mind you.

Before 9 o'clock, our censorship laws are much stricter than the US's. After 9, they are much, much looser. Hence, the X-Files was shown normally.
