I didn't think his ideas for the character sounded that good, personally, but then, Wonder Woman has a tendency to flummox even otherwise talented writers.

Kurn can't do it his damn self.  That's not how it works in his culture.

That was brought up at exactly no point, so it wasn't one of Sisko's considerations.  And Kurn is equally disgraced (hence, his entire situation).  Moreover, it's an accepted societal ritual.

The problem with that, @LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus , is that Sisko explicitly denies that.  He tells Worf that if he hears that they've gone elsewhere and carried out the practice, he will have him prosecuted for it.  Sisko rules out Worf being allowed to participate anywhere.

There is no "disharmony on the station", though.  Sisko is the one who cares.  And he forbids Worf and Kurn from leaving and doing it elsewhere.

It's assisted suicide.  Kurn wants to die, that's his decision; his culture requires Worf's involvement, which he's willing to do.  There is literally no reason for Sisko to become involved other than his desire to force others to conform to his values, because Starfleet's interests don't for a second enter into it

I hate Sons of Mogh so much.  Worf and Kurn's cultural practices are none of Sisko's damn business.  The entire episode is an endorsement of the "save Terri Schiavo" crowd's decision to meddle in people's personal decisions.  And Picard already addressed this in Ethics far more reasonably.  Heck, even Janeway conceded

Harold and Rose must be so proud of their kids.

That movie already has a ton of characters to introduce, so I'd rather not have him there.

One of my favourite Spielberg movies.  It also demonstrates that while Christopher Walken doing "Christopher Walken" stuff most of the time is fun, it really is a shame he doesn't do more actual acting.

I liked the M&Ms one a lot, though much of that was because I'm a big Naya Rivera fan and it was a lovely surprise to see her get a big commercial like that.

I'm glad they didn't do that.  It would blur the two characters, and undercut what Captain America lost.

@avclub-da6fa9c20a9a60a17ca0bcd24a30dabe:disqus , she's not her daughter in the comics.  Originally she was a younger sister (it was the 1960s), subsequently retconned to being her niece.  Will likely be a grandniece in the movie, given the passage of time.

@avclub-446ca222cba65dbc3c673ab376adf59c:disqus , I think it's actually the reverse.  The deleted scene is meant to go at the very start of the movie, showing Cap struggling to adjust to the 21st century; the waitress he fails to flirt with is just a part of that.  Her reappearance at the end of the movie, where she

Indeed, and Sarah Drew's on Grey's Anatomy these days (past its prime, but a reasonably high-profile gig).  Who'd have guessed Gregory Smith would draw the short straw?

It'd be Sharon.  SHIELD agent, so easy to fit into the plot, and the mere fact that they used Peggy in the first movie, whose character serves no real purpose in the comics other than to set up Sharon in the present day.

Not somebody I would have thought to suggest to play Sharon, but she's actually a great fit for the part.  I've been a fan since Everwood.

Seems like they're finally getting Santana on her way to New York, after the false start of last year's finale.  That part of the show definitely needs some humour.
