Are ya feeling a bit down in the dumps? I've got just the thing. Watch Peak Performance. It'll cheer you right up, honestly! It's a bloody laugh a minute.

Those Zackdorns! The one in this episode looks like Les Dawson, and he keeps clasping his hands under his bust just like Les!! And what *has* he got on???? His outfit reminds me of the spinning top Mayor of Halloween Town! Has to win the award for the costume with the lowest shag factor ever seen on Trek? (Unless you know different!! >;-))) They all sit really po-faced discussing these war "games" like it's dead serious.

Lads!! What are they like!!! LOL! ("Wanna see me make Wayne Gretzki's head bleed??There's like real blood and everything" Vince Vaughn in Swingers.) And it just gets better and better!

Pulaski! Pulaski saying Kolrami needs an attitude adjustment!! I'll say it again, just to make sure you get this - PULASKI!! - Says Kolrami needs an attitude adjustment! You gotta love that woman. LOL! Anyway, they move on to picking sides. I was disappointed they didn't stand the bridge crew up against the wall and then take turns picking until just Deanna was left and Picard had to have her on his team, but like he told her to "go long!!"

Anyway, Riker gets to pick his lads, and when he goes to get Worf, he's got his hobby out! (ooo errr!!) Making matchstick models!! You cannot be serious!!

*That* was funny!! What I wanna know is who duped Worf into thinkin' that was a fitting hobby for a Klingon? My money's on Guinan. Or possibly Pulaski.

I liked when Kolrami said "An opponent of limited dimensions can often be quite diverting!" I bet a few ladies have said that to him in the past!!

Still, you can get therapy for "limited dimensions" these days...... and surgery. He could maybe try using some of those fascinating little finger appliances they use for Strategema. On the box it says : Only to be used for the game of Strategema. No responsibility will be accepted for using these appliances inappropriately!! LOL! And you *have* to watch the faces they make when they are playing! Toooooooo Funny!!!

Can you believe what Pulaski does to Data? Drops him right in it. But you know, I reckon he fancies her a bit. Yeah yeah, I know he has no emulsion and all that, but he sure caves in easily when she mouths "Please" to him!! I love Pulaski, me. I'd be her if I had a choice!! :-))

Then there's that bit where Wes is trying to be all casual and get his experiment.He's like having this chat with the nobody crewman sent to watch over him. It's totally embarrassing!! I laughed out loud. And as he slopes off with his experiment, he does this cheesy faced grin to himself!! Priceless!

Kolrami has one moment of cool. He beats Data at strategema, and then he goes "Sssssssss" and wiggles his fingers! Coooooeeeell! I've been going round all day doing it!! Sssssssss! Aww, but poor Data! Fallible! And the girls all pop round to try and convince him to stop being such a drama queen, but in the end, 'Sir' has to go and kick his but back to the bridge.

And blow me (Leave it!!) if that isn't Armin Shimmerman as one of the crap Ferengi guys!! A lovely freebee in an episode that makes yer sides ache from laughing!!

Oh yeah, and before I go, another word about Pulaski. Her and Riker come in to ten Forward together!! TOGETHER!! and LATE!!!! Something definitely went on there, I reckon!! Go Pulaski!! Riker *and* Data, huh!

She is my kinda gal! :-)))
