For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Did they ever reveal Number Six's name actually was John Drake as the fans of the show thought - or perhaps hoped?

First encountered that show a couple of years ago, and watched a couple of episodes. The balls were the strangest part of a strange show.

I used to watch that show when it was on the teevee for its first run, but I never understood it.

 I did, but I was smoking plane loads of good weed.
 Now that I have not had any weed or drinks in 27 years, I can't recall what I understood.
 Except of course, they told number six that he was number one ... I think they were smoking the good weed too

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

I have always wondered about that. Is running amok akin to running rampant? Or do you need a license before you can run amok? What -- exactly -- is a mok?

I've always considered Arena to be my favorite.

Everyone know that the Spock's stolen brain episode is the bestest!!!!  =D

Actually I don't think that was even the worst one. It was I think the last episode of the series, where Kirk becomes a woman.

It was the description of that episode in the TV guide that made it the best - "Spock's Vulcan sex drive kicks in and he goes after Kirk"    =D
