I'm probably reading too much into it, but I had the impression that the amount of pumping correlated to the amount of damage that rifle did.
—and “Nu-David Marcus” speaks with a British accent.
Reminds me of Counselor Troi's accent - at first, I assumed her accent was a Betazoid accent, but when her mother showed up, I assumed it was her father's. Then her father showed up with an American accent, so I assumed it was Marina Sirtis's natural accent.

I generally respect his opinions. He’s a successful novelist who understands good storytelling. And I certainly did like episode 1. And James Cawley said the same thing last August at Trekconderoga—this is the sendoff the TNG cast never got. I’m looking forward to it.
When you’ve been force fed saltines for 14 years, a Ritz cracker seems Gourmet.
I am still clinging on to a bit of hope. Then again, if the Drinker and Cawley both got to see the entire run…ahem…who gave them to them? And would it sway their opinions?
