Gotta love it then that the show was trying to trick a celebrity into endorsing a product they otherwise wouldn't have, and then had to fire the celebrities that didn't play along even though the celebrities weren't told what they were playing along to (well, Andretti kind of was told what to do, but whatever).

For Marco, his son

I think he was trying to say that the presentation angle led him to favor Adam. I think maybe he was waiting to do one that was more based on managerial skills than performance. Though, being Celebrity Apprentice, may be a little on the wishful side. But I wonder if Donald Trump thinks that all celebrities are just…

This may be the most baffling episode of Apprentice I have ever seen. I'm not sure if an Andretti was brought onto the show because there was going to be a car task, or if Buick only signed on because there was an Andretti, but after seeing the boardroom I'm convinced there's a relationship.

That Brutus sketch was hilarious

In that case every TV show ever that has a baby in one season become 5 years old in the next season is paying tribute to Shakespeare. Excellent!

the relationship of narrative time with production time often leads to logic problems in serialized shows, especially soap operas, and can really be seen in comic books. Joss Whedon I think discussed the problem with the fourth season of Angel, saying that if you look at the story the whole year covered just a matter…

Well, certainly not after the 2009 Star Trek movie

argh. I keep mixing their names up.

Meridian? You mean Space Brigadoon?

Given Penny got hooked on Warcraft in an episode early in the show I wouldn't have been shocked to see her join in. Maybe even her and Amy and Bernadette starting their own group and hunting the guys online, but the guys don't know who is killing them.

It is indeed.

No. I think I can still get through it. On a marathon. Were I to do that. Wouldn't watch it on its own, though

And then Voyager took its meaty Maquis premise and ignored it, while DS9 actually dealt with the implications of the Maquis in the Alpha Quadrant.

The site doesn't list a good example from Voyager, "The Omega Directive": "I know how
Einstein must've felt about the atom bomb, or Marcus when she developed the
genesis device." (Star Trek II reference)

Progress sets the stage for a few Kira episodes, I think, in that it establishes a format of putting Kira one-on-one with an antagonist to discuss their philosophical differences, the most famous one being Duet a few episodes later.

I give Wishes some props for connecting Buck Bokai to an obscure reference made by Data way back in TNG season 1, when in The Big Goodbye he mentions a shortstop for the London Kings broke Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak record.

In addition to the genres listed in the review, I think the show also thinks it is "Lost." As in, confuse the audience with murky character motivations only to fill in the blanks with flashbacks.

Sometimes when networks know episodes will air out of order, they might have the producers loop in new dialogue or insert a new scene to try to bridge a gap or make it more seamless. Pan Am did something like that earlier this year, though there were still obvious character arcs that seemed to jump back and forth as a…
