Back when I had cable I found "Love It or List It" pretty hilarious.

I disagree, I think it's exactly the right word.

Nah, it's what @Chris Holmes said.

Yeah, my best friend in junior high was named Jonathan Matrix.

Yeah, Arnold quips are fun and all, but it's when they're smugly delivered after a particularly brutal murder that they become art.

They wanted Freddie Mercury but could only afford his mustache.

I'm not saying that you have to buy it. I'm saying that I do. First Contact was far from Stewart's finest performance, as he tends to do better with understatement, but I'd still take his FC hissyfit a dozen times over Brooks' embarrassing breakdown.

That scene where Craig opens the hotel room door, and she's just … standing there.

I remember watching The Transporter for the first time with friends.

Oh jesus. Just kill the whole franchise right there, why don't they?

Okay. I didn't see that conveyed, though. I bought Picard's pain far more than Benny's, is my point.

Yeah, I know I'm in the minority on this one.

It's a crying shame that Yaphet Kotto is probably too old now because I would follow Lieutenant Giardelli to Galorndan Core and back.

"Sisko faces his greatest enemy: the infield fly rule!"

Also like 85% of The Wire.

Huh. I really do. Picard has just been pulled back from a full psychological break. His voice is ragged and torn; his normally stoic demeanor has been replaced by that of a small man struggling to hold on. Everything about him has been reduced, bent and nearly broken.

You're mad. Mad.

I would add Brent Spiner to that list. He had a tendency to overplay other roles, but his Data was a pitch-perfect depiction of a character who could have been far more grating and less sympathetic than he turned out to be.

Agreed. Brooks is a perfectly competent actor, but in moments like this he mostly makes me appreciate how lucky we were to have Patrick Stewart.
