Sooooo… Kira is Force-sensitive now?

I wanna know WTF the guy behind the singer had going on with that equipment. Each piece looked like some kind of cross between those Radio Shack 200-in-1 electronics learning sets and an old-fashioned telephone switchboard.

"Also, Gail and Erica are a thing now."

How to make 21 Pilots:

IIRC, Erlich specifically excluded his stake in Pied Piper when writing up the contract between him and Big Head.

Carrie Brownstein was there with Armisen and they buried her in the background of a meh sketch that had the entire cast on stage? WTF SNL?

I thought he was Matt Damon's lost half-Neanderthal lisping brother.

Damn, I was hoping for the return of Peter Drunklage.

Springsteen needs more guitarists playing with him. Five clearly isn't enough.

Ugh, such a bad episode. I loves me some Drunk Uncle and Vanessa and Cecily's former porn actresses, but even those were weak. Even the pre-taped Bad Girls bit was meh, without a Trump to be seen. Usually those pre-taped musical bits the women do are solid.

I can't be the only one that noticed that weird lisp Jane Krakowski had, can I? It sounded like she'd bit her tongue hard or something.

Has Alex ever before interrupted the game to make such a correction? Usually he'll wait until a natural break, such as a DD or between rounds.

Yeah, Voyager was more episodic, more like TNG and less like DS9 in structure. That's fine. Still, episode to episode things, however small, carried over and sometimes even had consequences later on.

Reset buttons are a cop-out though. Any plot points, character growth, universe advancement, etc. (in as much as Voyager writers knew how to do these things) are rendered moot. They're a giant "fuck you" to the audience, IMHO.

Not sure if serious, but replicators. That's how the Delta Flyers were put together, after all.

Year Of Hell has a giant reset button at the end that makes it all pointless. Kurtwood Smith is the only redeeming aspect of those episodes.

Two words: Orphan Black. There are some baffling episode titles coming from there (quotes from Eisenhower's farewell address, really?).

Tina is helping to fill the April Ludgate hole in my heart left by the ending of Parks & Recreation.

But it's not really alternate- or false-reality. It wasn't some holodeck program Quark dreamed up. It wasn't caused by that Betazoid menopausal side-effect from a few seasons prior (also bleh). It was just in another universe, where familiar-looking characters happened to have different personalities and lifestyles.

Star Trek’s brief tradition of queerness begins with a female character on The Next Generation deciding she’s not fluid enough to stick with her Trill boyfriend now that he’s in a female body and ends with a female character on Deep Space Nine throwing caution to the wind and reuniting with a Trill ex who now inhabits
