"Because he's MY butler!"

I agree with you, Charles R (and lots of other people), it probably doesn't matter which ship fires the tachyon beam in the future.  It's been a while since I've seen the episode, and it sounded like maybe the Enterprise's beam was supposed to have a unique signature that caused the problems.  But we can very easily…

I can see TWoK working as a finale.  It acknowledges the past actions of Kirk and the crew and shows some of their consequences, giving the series a sense of reality and groundedness.  Kirk had been beating the odds all these years; TWoK shows that even for someone like Kirk, the time's gonna come when the odds beat…

George Costanza thought that the complete opposite of tuna on toast was chicken salad on rye.  So according to him, the opposite of a particular sandwich was… another sandwich.  (But as Jerry said, salmon is the opposite of tuna!)

I'd considered something like that, too, but that solution doesn't explain why the Pasteur doesn't see anything when it first goes to the Devron System.  Unless, like, an individual observer—from their specific place in time—can only perceive the anomaly as moving forward in time (since that's the only conception of…

Who's singing "Dem Bones?"  I can most easily picture it as Data; character-wise it should probably be Wesley; but, come on, you know Worf would be best.

I stumbled on these reviews in the middle of Season 2, and I've been reading them ever since.  They've been great, as have the comments that all of you have brought to the table every week.  Well done, and thank you, Zack!

The threat of sexual violence hangs heavy over 30 Rock.

Wow, good call, @avclub-6692e03714de64fbc32753e3312b1071:disqus .

About the term "walker"…

"[and] the rest…"

People have told me multiple times that I'd like BBT.  Partially it's because they don't understand my tastes in comedy.  Mostly, though, it's because they think I'm a huge nerd.

Yeah, I really want to love "All Good Things," but that plot hole irks me to no end.  I've tried to think of a good fanwanky explanation for it all, but I haven't come up with anything that's satisfying.  (The effects of anti-time are only observable by time-travelers! An ion storm was interfering with the Pasteur's…

I actually picked up a copy of Federation at a used book sale a few weeks ago based on the recommendations of John B. and others here.  It is now sitting on my "to-be-read" pile.  I'm looking forward to it.

They did seem to humanize the skitters a bit in the scene where everyone is watching that one skitter die. I can see a skitter/human alliance happening somewhere down the road.

I'm in the same boat as you, The Pig in Zen. I've kept watching it, even though I probably should have bailed many weeks ago, so now I feel like I have to watch the finale. What's that called? The sunk costs fallacy?

AMC is showing The Killing at both 10:00 and 11:00 ET, so my plan is to watch this show, then catch the second airing of The Killing.

It seems like these pictures are always Photoshopped to crap. I guess it's so that everyone can be in focus? Or maybe they just don't feel like getting everyone together for a photo. I dunno.

I tried calling last night and couldn't get through because the mailbox was full. Apparently Cougar Town has more than the total of zero fans that I've met in real life.

Perky songs about butts
sound like more fun than cans of anchovies and stuffy old songs about the buttocks.
