Careful.... I'm a recovering Trekkie and in my modern opinion, likening 
something to Star Trek is not a compliment.  Sure, it was fine when I was 
12, but there are only so many modified tachyon pulses and gullible but 
earnest planetary leaders and "can't trust the computer - let me take 'er 
in manually .. ready .. steady .. NOW!" that I can take.

In fact, I know exactly how many I can take, and it's fewer per episode 
than Star Trek featured.

uh.. have you ever SEEN anything on the WB?  There's no 'perhaps' about 
it..
