Now that Star Trek: The Next Generation has ended, isn't it finally time to admit that you watched it? Or at least stop insisting that you watched it but you're still not a Trekkie? (Or worse, that you watched it not for its cool special effects but for its symbolism?) While you're at it, why not confess to these other lies, half-truths, and self-delusions that couch potatoes perpetrate?
