Early Stargate SG-1 = Star Trek TOS (explorers)
Later SG-1 = Star Trek TNG (galactic politics)
Stargate Atlantis = DS9 (distant space station)
Stargate Universe = Voyager (ship far from home)

Yeah, they really are playing up the romantic elements of the setting, aren't they? So he gets to give her the ring to prove they are in love, and kiss her to infect her with the life-saving virus. just like a fairy tale but not as whimsical.

This was a very typical Star Trek type of episode but without much depth. There's a very Deep Space Nine feel to the premise, with a problem of the week to solve or something new to explore.

I think one of my favorite moments was when the guy delivered the tape to the Comedy Central control room so they can upload it to the satellite. And he just sits there stone faced having watched the ep for who knows how many times, while the technician seeing it for the first time is laughing his ass off. It shows…

you would think a community spun off from a fake news site would understand a joke.

I also considered that. Another stumbling block was that there would be no guarantee he'd end up at the same precinct. Either case would involve some serious nepotism, so he might as well just stay doing what he's doing … a consultant.

there was a line in the preview about Yi's haircut ruining House's Charlie's Angels fantasy.

So, I've been mulling over a thought about the show I recently had … what are the chances Castle tries to actually become a real cop? This episode makes me wonder if they will eventually do that arc … earn his keep so to speak when it's no longer believable that he can just hang out with them

If Cuddy had recommended him as her replacement, would that have helped?

I'm still not quite sure what possessed her to sing that? Seems like she just wanted to be a pain in the ass but everything before that indicated she just wanted to go home.

"to illuminate the various walls we build around ourselves, and the often
difficult decision to let people through those barriers."

I think you give too much credit to the early 1960s secret service. Remember these are the same guys that let the president drive through Dallas in an open car without securing all the buildings along the route to make sure some nut didn't smuggle in a military-grade rifle.

They may as well have marched up to the guy and declared "we're Pan Am stewardesses and we're here to fuck the president." They may have had better luck.

He didn't seem to be writing much but laughing at everything Trey was saying

Don't forget the dutch oven joke

That was mostly horrible. B+? I may have laughed about 3 times. Yet this gets praised while the much funnier Melissa McCarthy episode gets bashed? To each his own, I guess

25 years. Nice round number

I find most Bond fans who are older or more familiar with the source material liked the title. Younger viewers or those who only know the Bond movies tended to hate it.

SPOILERS From what I gather, Jasmine needs to maintain the human population for her to feed, while The First needs to overrun the humans with his minions in order to manifest himself within the humans that remain. Those are mutually exclusive concepts that are begging for a crossover. Maybe a build-up to a giant…
