- Woke up this morning thinking it was Wednesday. No such luck. #
- Stepped out of my office and noticed it’s snowing. Looking forward to having windows. #
- Speaking of windows, the plan is to finally get my work laptop upgraded to Win7 Friday. I.e., backing up and app notes on Thursday night. #
- Oh, hey, look, my Outlook client was borked again so I really *was* receiving all sorts of email all morning. Rrg. #

So, what did K think of them?
And Immunity Syndrom is another ep where the CGI shines.
She liked “A Piece of the Action.” She was ambivalent about “The Immunity Syndrome” (and, honestly, I don’t think it plays as well as its closest analog, “The Doomsday Machine” — I have fond memories of it, but it’s not as good as I remembered).
The CG in “IS”? Honestly, I don’t know if it was a big improvement. The interior bits, maybe, and the Enterprise in the dark was cool, but the CG giant amoeba itself did not strike me as any superior to the original.
