That's Archie?! omfg, it is too!

Is it just me, or does Madam President look a little like Monica Lewinsky?

Meant to grumble at the Trek cliche of alienated son and father. Dad (typically dead, missing, or alienated) is always the most crucial thing in everyone's lives in TNG. (Unless you're Geordi.)

I meant to add that paternal estrangement isn't the only use of the Father Thing in Trek. The Romulan Commander pissed off with the secret police in "Face of the Enemy"? They took her dad. The AI scientist in that one with the Execomps? Living up to her dad's example. And so on.

Ah, OK, I take your point on this then. And I did admit that yes, use of parents (and offspring) as plot devices was well well worn on TREK...
