Congrats, Zack!  What're you drinking?  I'll get you another.

Season Seven Already!

Sorry everybody, I was vacationing so damn far up north that I couldn't access the internet until today.  There isn't a lot to talk about with "First Contact" anyway, because I really REALLY worked my ass off on my motion picture debut and didn't engage in a lot of shenanigans.

Thanks to everybody for the kind words!  @avclub-ef787dffe53627045b60ebd58188fa30:disqus, @avclub-4b287f908bc71183ecd837b69d417c1a:disqus,  @avclub-efb3d8be0319721ef751da0b05d9f6a5:disqus, @avclub-53e4db6f596904f154b5efa09193e3ab:disqus, @avclub-b894e4330aeaa46a373292d17c62984d:disqus,…

Thanks Mrs. Peel! That's one… er, two… awesome Birthday presents right there!

"What else have we got? We got this cool robot thing called the
Tessalecta, which is really, really snazzy. And then we get to see an
older version of Amy in episode 10. You’ll never look at children’s toys
the same way after episode nine, and then episode 13 brings the mother
of all twists."

Damn straight, Eazy E's Ghost.  Damn Straight.

You're too kind, Buckaroo!

But… bald women are hot.  They can be, anyway.

Thanks Tuck!  I'm thinking about uploading a square version, but the current picture's puffiness is kinda fitting.

I think you'd want it to be (with spaces between the brackets removed):

Thanks for the invite, MSG1701! I have a hard time turning down Slave Leias, even after that time in '02 when I suffered chain and metal bustier bruises to 78% of my body.

That is really kind of you to say, TND! Lemme buy you a drink. Or four.

[takes drink] Nick Bakay also was on a comedy sketch show called "She TV" which was notable for having a live action parody of Beavis and Butthead performed by women. It was an ABC summer replacement thing back in '94. Bakay was pretty good in it.

Well yeah, but I'm getting blown. Which probably shouldn't count.

Hieroglyph, JJ, Richelieu, Mrs. Peel, Inglefinger… to paraphrase that other Sci Fi franchise, you've made this thread more awesome than I could possibly imagine! Lemme pick up your bar tab for tonight. You've earned it.

The Time I Lost Out to Spiner
So Stephanie Beacham is in "Ship in a Bottle" as Moriarity's love interest. After a couple scenes were shot, I saw her standing with her back to me, getting something on her costume fixed. I'd heard from DeLancie that she had a naughty sense of humor, so I went up behind her and said,…

Hey, Richelieu! Good to see ya outside the TNG comments section.

[takes drink] Chartex is generally a pretty awesome poster, and I completely agree with him here—replacing Tara with Cassie wasn't ideal but it wasn't terrible either, and it was what Whedon was stuck with when Benson turned him down. What was he supposed to do, cancel the whole episode? It worked well enough.

Man, that "Laughing Stock" cover is terrible. I'm trying to figure out what a dead tree with images of birds spread over it has to do with being a "laughing stock," and… I've got nothing, even though my brain is already chemically altered.
