I bet he was using his own computer or tablet to video chat.

Sheldon was someone against whom Leonard could rebel against. That sounds negative, but it's also a point of comparison. Since they find themselves in slight conflict over social mores they might be more inclined to move even further apart in opposite directions, it's arguable that Sheldon helps Leonard more than…

She was playing out her attraction to both of them, or at least love for both of them.

Of course the punchline to the original joke is "It sunk."

I guess we mostly forgot Monty Python jokes in the DS9 thread today. I'm sure nobody expected that.

It may not be a coincidence that the thing they've referenced is a starship…

Among the people in SI that even know Section 31 exists, I can't imagine them being fond of the organization. It's like the rivalry between the FBI and CIA, BBC, Matt Busby.

One thing I'm not sure I'm a fan of is that after this episode Section 31 became sort of a catchall retcon for any shady business that happened in the Trek universe. Novels tied the organization to a lot of those activities, and then ENT and Into Darkness used them when they needed Starfleet baddies.

nu-BSG was pitched as West Wing in space.

If they're going to do a war movie I'd rather they just do the Earth-Romulan War.

Would that be…the best of both worlds?

Exactly. Nicholas Meyer's response to the fans when they said "You can't kill Spock!" was not to obscure the film or rewrite it to maintain secrecy. It was to say "Of course I can, if I do it well."

I wasn't spoiled, so when I watched it the only reason I knew they wouldn't kill Kirk is because the story was still a coming of age story for him. They set it up as such with the scenes on Earth in act one.

If it got you into Star Trek that's good. Hopefully these flawed films will at least do that. I'm glad you're checking out TOS first. Check out TNG and DS9. DS9 in particular is sort of a predecessor to the serialized shows that have dominated the past decade. In tone and structure it's a bridge between the rest…

Maybe Terry's just a little paranoid about food storage and is one to toss food too early.

So this is the second Thanksgiving show on FOX with a turkey in the toilet.

Meg wouldn't be my first guess for a character to be killed. For me it would be Chris. Just because the other characters are mean to Meg doesn't mean the show would kill her. In fact, I'd think that would save her.

I Spy is on TV now. Check it out, it's good.

Looking at this graphic from Wikipedia it looks like, at the very least, Lincoln's 1860 race might have been one of the few competitive multi-party races. 1824 was a pretty wide-open field, but three of the candidates were Democratic-Republicans. That would certainly never happen today. I think one of the problems…
