I liked the first season of Enlightened, but I haven't watched the second.  However, throughout the first season I could never quite decide if the show was in the main character's corner or mocking her furiously.

When I did a Netflix-fueled rewatch last summer, I skipped only two episodes.  "Taking the Stone" was one.

@avclub-f7b8cee00172e6b5d95f347eef898419:disqus They tie it to the plot point that the first DS9 Mirror Universe incursion was through the wormhole— that the Prophets sent Kira and Bashir there to get Mirror-Sisko to find the Celestial Temple.  But that never happened, and then Sisko died… so no one found it. 

I'm with @avclub-04d524031f29c89d78cae864bd6f0de7:disqus .  Phil Morris as Third Remata'klan is the definitive Jem'Hadar in my book.

@Chryso42:disqus I always love a good "villains join the heroes against a massive threat" story, and that was a good one.

They're the same, just they strategically design their implants to show off their abs.

Boobs to the face was in "Shadows of P'Jem".  She and Archer are tied up together and as part of their efforts to free themselves, he ends up with a faceful.

I think the episode makes it clear that the "Anslem" Jake writes is a very rough draft— a good rough draft, but still very rough. 

For all the talk about sexing up T'Pol, that show never missed an opportunity to get Trip's shirt off…

Please.  You know in the Mirror Universe illegal downloads are mandatory.

The lack of an Emissary in the Mirror Universe is, in fact, a plot point the post-DS9 books picks up.

@AmaltheaElanor:disqus Right, Weyoun 9 exists in the post-DS9 books.  Just he's not who Odo sends to live on the station.

I'm really shocked that the writers restrained themselves and never wrote a scene where the Ferengi send Brunt to negotiate with the Dominion, just to have Brunt and Weyoun in a scene together.  He only played both characters in "Dogs of War", but not together.

@avclub-618fd0370047b25592c8a7db0ff8a9c0:disqus No, in the post-DS9 books, Odo finds a Jem'Hadar who is not addicted to the White and sends him to live on the station. 

I've been rewatching seasons 6 and 7, and Jake definitely has solid chemistry with a lot of different people.  Especially Kira.  Him paired with anyone but Sisko or Nog always seemed a little odd, but it often worked.  Like him "researching crime" with Quark in "Sound of Her Voice".

I went to a Mexican restaurant once that was utterly authentic.  It was just as if your Mexican grandmother had cooked it.  Provided, of course, that your Mexican grandmother was a horrendously god-awful cook.

"Deathstroke is more of a bishop" is a great Lex Luthor line.  That was the icing on the cake in this episode.

I would love a Klingon West Wing.  Sorkinian Walk-and-talk with more disembowling.

@avclub-146bc30c345d31f3468fec764a1970e1:disqus One of the "problems" with TOS, in terms of long-term worldbuilding (which, to be fair, was never a goal at the time), is there are quite a lot of "aliens" that are simply human.  Not "could pass for human with a hat or dye-job or a nose bandage", but human, full stop. …
