Admittedly, I was one of only, maybe ten people in the theater for this, but after, maybe, the first quarter/third of the movie, I was the only one laughing at all.  This reached its worst point when Bradley Whitford finally saw his beloved merman.

I can't believe they didn't seize on the opportunity to have holo-Pac perform "I wrote this song a long time ago".

Hister.

Oh, man.  This throws a whole new light on when I saw Simon give a lecture (or interview/Q&A session) last month.  Almost the entire thing ended up being about The Wire, and I was impressed by how well he seemed to respond to that, even while I was kinda disappointed in the audience.  But, man, I guess he was just

Can we please stop calling him a "neighborhood watch captain"?  The community's actual neighborhood watch wanted nothing to do with Zimmerman.  That title is simply what he called himself.

Um, SPOILERS, probably.

Rejoice, and be merry.

My only interest is if this will result in more Gothic Archies music.

I liked that, for some reason, Morn was mixed in with the Ferengi staff at Quark's when they were huddled in the corner curing the trial in "Dax".

I ran into a similar problem when watching "The West Wing" and suddenly, Q was trying to dickishly advise President Sheen.

Well said, captain.

Not to defend Vash or anything, but she's clearly interested in more than JUST profiting off ancient/alien cultures.  Her attempt to explain the "cultural context" of the first item at the auction shows that that stuff does interest her.  It's just that money does, too.

They missed the obvious opportunity to improve the episode by setting it entirely to Iggy Pop music.

And in "Our Man Bashir", Kira plays a Russian spy.  It's like they were mocking you!

Speaking of Picard's RSS feed, wouldn't his amateur archeologist have been quickly aware of her return, given the significance of her discoveries in the Gamma Quadrant?

I think that with the Trek franchise, a theatre background is worth more than it might be for a different show.  I saw an interview (it's on youtube somewhere) in which Casey Briggs (Damar) talked about how much you need, like, Shakespearean experience to be able to succeed on a Trek show—to be able to deliver lines

Also, and I don't recall this thought occurring to me during any previous viewings of this episode, Q showing up with any regularity would bring into question what relationship he (an omnipotent being) has with the Prophets (seemingly omnipotent beings).  And I have trouble imagining a way that gets explained that

Given the abuse they've suffered at the hand of Darth Luk'as, it's hard to blame them.
