There is no law against it and if there is one you can blame it on Saddam

Reminds me of a Rock video from 91 where Arnold was plaing a termie in it and meets the band at the end he scans all of them and leaves them alone after coming to the conclusion they would be a waste of ammo B+B and Paramount are in the same category

Well, in the episode, deuterium was a very rare and very valuable resource that was pumped out the ground and used to fuel starships.
Well, in reality, deuterium is a radioisotope of hydrogen, and is formed by neutron capture. Water composed of D2O is called "heavy water". There will be minute traces of heavy water in any natural body of water, but there will NOT be a natural wellspring of heavy water.

Yet again, B&B urinate on the audience's brains.

In the description of the Fenari's "Homeworld" it was a heavily Volcanic "Tundra World" High Gravity (Very Large), but far enough out from it's primary to be cold, the planet is full of Hot springs, heavy elements, including many, many radioactives. The biggest impossiblity was that I included a "Dead Sea" of concentrated Deuterium (Knowing it was just "Heavy Water" I figured that such a convaience could be swallowed by some..... Purhaps I will rethink that....

Originally, 'Dear Doctor' was supposed to end in a different manner. "The ending that had initially been created I was fairly comfortable with. But the head of the studio suggested some revisions on the ending. What do you do? I wasn't as happy with the revisions, but it's not my show, you have to sort of adjust, even if sometimes it does seem a bit of a contradiction in terms for what your character is supposed to be about."
So how did the ending change? "[In the original version,] in this crisis of conscience, the Doctor essentially does something that violates the standard issue hierarchical obligations of a crewmember to his captain," he explains. "In effect, he makes a decision that's rooted in 'I've got bigger fish to fry,' rather than honoring his captain's wishes. The network essentially felt that no, it was important to essentially make sure that everyone was here to support the captain's decisions. Personally I thought, 'Well, I think you've kind of lost something interesting in this potential tension.' But, that's not my call."

Well, aren't we good little fascists?

TOS as well. One of the best character scenes in all ST history was from the episode "Obsession"; when McCoy fails in his effort to reason with Kirk, he lays it on the line when he tells him flat out, "I am preparing a medical log entry, on my estimation of the physical and emotional breakdown of a starship captain. Which requires a witness of command grade." And in enters Spock.

Good writing allows the characters of a series to be human beings. This is why it seems that BragaTrek™ is populated by drones, blow-up dolls, and cardboard standees.

I hope to a dear god that is sweet and merciful that you are lying! They didn't want conflict amongst the crew? WTF!? That's called CHARCTER DEVELOPMENT B&B!!!!!! ARGHH!

Oh well, ENT can't get any worse in my eyes anyways....

B&B are not UPN, nor are they Paramount.
