The review for this show definitely gets a little fannish at times, and the references to people like Stephanie Brown are part of that. This sort of thing just comes with the territory of adaptations of superheroes to tv and movies though. The creators throw in all these little easter eggs to the fans, and the fans…

That was the vibe I got off of Roy as well. Its pretty clear they're trying to spell out the drug usage to anyone who is familiar with the storyline from the comics, without coming right out and saying it.

I think I've been less thrilled with this season than a lot of people here have been. The fanboy buzz I get from seeing so many new characters running around notwithstanding, I feel the show still suffers from some wonky writing and characterization, and there's usually at least one moment per episode that causes a…

That was indeed the comment that stuck in my head from that earlier conversation, and going back to read that initial thread answered my question regarding Bashir as well, so thanks on both counts.

That Tumblr dog goof was the hardest I laughed all week.

Thanks for mentioning 20 Sided Death. A while back MBMBAM was doing a goof on D&D and I kept thinking that a podcast of funny people playing the game might be entertaining. This sounds like it fits the bill, and I'm looking forward to checking it out.

That's the way I see him too. Like in "Whispers" with the force fields, he can't turn them off, so instead he just turns on every force field on the station. I feel like "being chased through corridors and avoiding force fields" is a thing that gets done a lot on Trek, and that's easily the best method anyone has used…

Well shit, when you put it like that, I have no choice but to sign up with the haters. She is THE WORST.

DENTAL PLAN

I guess by middle of the night, I meant like, 8:30 or something. So not the middle of the night at all, really.

As far as point 1 goes, and I'll be the first to admit I know absolutely nothing about biological weapons, so whatever, but couldn't the Harvesters be snuck into a planet's various water sources? I'm sure it would be found before it would cause the kind of damage its said to have caused in this episode, but that still…

That was something that bothered me about this episode quite a bit. I could not wrap my head around how they ended the episode on a comedic note given what had just happened. I realize the "real" reason they're not going to war is because this was a throwaway episode and the villains were a bunch of nobodies, but in…

Not a Trek story, but still an embarrassing nerd story:

@avclub-92a972196ae14b06997dc73a44c6cddd:disqus Haven't you seen The Happening? And that was just one time on Earth. Emergency situations that only botanists can solve happen constantly in outer space.

Makes sense, they've already got access to a dreamatorium.
