Another important lesson
Smoking hot semi-alien women in catsuits can be valued crew members. This may be a lesson across all sci-fi.

Music
The music score from the TOS is so good I think Mr. Handlen should detour from the episode by episode format and write a link-filled article discussing it. I cannot think of another TV show that has such distinctive background music - was one person responsible for all the music? Besides the Amok Time fighting…

Thrilling
Oo, I am patting myself on the back for watching this series from the first episode.
Arrgh, I am kicking myself for erasing this episode after one viewing. I now reading about all these nuances I missed. My flatscreen > Hulu.
One worry: the imprinting technology makes it possible for anyone on the show to be…

My concern over Mia's story was not so much originality but misogyny. Davis's performance and the depth of the backstory helps to make her seem more like a whole person. However, I do feel that the writers are not too far from having her collect tuning forks or boiling Paul's pet rabbit (or turtle if he gets that back…

Rabin, don't be confusted why Folds made this album.
Just look at the photo accompanying your article.
He just wanted to sleep with some undergrads (and apparently high schoolers in one instance).

That's right. Barbershop quartet rules and A Capella is just a bastardization of the form.

Last one: Gina
There was an exchange between Paul and Gina I did not understand. She says something reassuring to him about Tammy like, "Old lovers are hard to resist." He replies something like, "I wish there had been more of them," and stares at her forcefully. Huh? I don't have the dialogue verbatim but I believe…

I like the Mia episodes but….
…does anyone else feel that her character is a bit of an ugly stereotype: middle-aged professional woman who is a childless nut/slut? The depth of the performances mitigates some of that but unless some upcoming twists undermine that premise (and much better than Daddy's love was too much…

So many comments to make…start with Walter
The theme this week was definitely crossing boundaries… except with Walter. When the session drew to a close, the issue of Walter's possible abuse of his sleeping pills was still open but Paul's half-hearted attempt to confront Walter as he left was a sharp contrast to his…

The Oliver story isn't my favorite but at the end of this episode I just wanted to give that poor kid a hug.
I think Paul wished he was making a sandwich for his own son.

Thank you.
Good to know that Byrne's hints of an accent are not just laziness on the part of the production.
Also, good to know that if an Irishman says "fech" to me, I should only be mildly offended.

Accent
Is Paul supposed to have an Irish accent? I can hear Byrne's a bit but as more of his story comes out it seems that he was raised in the DC area.
However, a character on the show said he should have no problem with women because of his looks "and the accent."
But he says, "Fuck" not "Feck."
But he sounds Irish…
