Actually, I don't watch Star Trek, hence all I have to contribute is my poker stories. :lol: So no, I haven't been the message boards. Did read Wil's books though, and enjoyed them.
Though what I'm getting as an outsider here is that this nagilum thing is not human and therefore doesn't follow human logic or rationality. It thinks totally differently, in ways we don't "get". Kinda like NTs or something.
Could be mistaken though, never having seen the episode.
