"The Powers That Be," meaning the guys in charge.

Braga: "So, Wick, what should we wite into the scwipt to scwew up continuity this time?"

Berman: "Well, perhapth thomething about phatherth being around thince the twenty-thecond thentury?"

Braga: "Ooh, bwavo!"

BTW, I'm not claiming that ENT has huge continuity issues (yet). I just saw a good opportunity for a joke...

Except that the Powers That Be that the name comes from didn't quite look like that.

(I'd also like to take credit for initially using the phrase, but I'm sure someone else will claim they beat me to it. None the less, I did start the rumours about Simon "Big Trousers" Sizer, so that counts for something.)

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.
