   Hunh, Gemini seems to like this one. I always thought it was a contrived   
   and weak.   
      
   I've never liked lose-your-powers episodes, though. The idea is human-   
   centric, which IMO is inappropriate for an SF show with   
   extraterrestrials in the main cast.   
      
   Imagine it this way: most species have no sense of hearing, but humans   
   have this handy extra ability to perceive air vibrations quite keenly. A   
   ship has one human officer, whose hearing is sometimes useful. If this   
   lone human suddenly and mysteriously goes deaf, it means the writers ran   
   out of good ideas that made sense.
