About Michael Colvin
Expertise
I am an expert of Star Trek: TNG, VOY. I am also very knowledgeable about DS9 and TOS, but there are far better resources about these two shows than me. My specialty is being able to answer general trivia questions, but I am capable of explaining the science behind a lot of the episodes. Because I have almost every episode on tape, and memory is quite good, I can easily and quickly answer questions.Now that these shows are now in syndications, I want to help keep their memory alive.

Experience
Avid fan since birth. Spent many an day watching episodes.

Topic: ER



Expert: Michael Colvin

Subject: cleanliness

Question
Do the makers of ER have any idea of how disgusting it was to see a doctor washing a bedpan in a kitchen sink?  Yes, I know she isn't really a doctor but, supposedly, there are technical advisors on the set.  I was so appalled that I don't know if I will ever watch ER again.

Answer
I think that it's dramatic effect taking place. Jing-Mei was under incredible stress and I think that it's to show that. The writers on this show know everything. Every decision is meticulously thought out. This was done for effect and not cause they were lazy.

Glad it made an impact. It was quite the episode.
