Or expats like me!
“Dolores” was used instead of “Chloris” in “The Junior Mint” based on studio audience response (Chloris makes more sense to me).
“He might lose his foot!”
So deep you’ll put her ass to sleep?
Where’s @IdiAmin when you need him?
The WHCA Scholarship:
The thing that, as someone who’s been around a ton of English-as-a-second-language Arabs, is not only the manner and inflection, but also the way he spaces out his words.
MTM reviews would be awesome, but if they couldn’t sustain Cheers…this is just depressing.
With the exception of Dick Van Dyke and Bewitched (and maybe Route 66, which I’ve heard interesting things about but never seen, and maybe Green Acres, which has a cult for being so weird) a lot of those shows are so formulaic that if you’ve seen one you’ve essentially seen them all.
Agreed. We’ve seen sentient artificial being before, now they’re just part of the woodwork.
We might count “Move Along Home” as being something like a holodeck malfunction episode, too (though structurally it’s like a TOS planet-of-the-week that somehow got lost in the early nineties than a TNG holodeck episode).
“Ow Mommy, that hurt!”
I like both of those episodes (I put them on my list of Voyager episodes worth revisiting, which NuDisqus isn’t letting me link to but is in the TV Club 10 of Voyager comments), but I feel at some point Picardo just totally took over the Doctor’s character and the Doctor was worse for it.
Vic just has this very authentically sixties coolness to him that makes the cornier stuff work for me. I really like him, too (and I prefer the Great American Songbook to Verdi).
I know the (Voyager) Doctor’s well-liked but the character turned into an actor indulgence a little too quickly for me (a bit like how we’d get Data as a barmaid or Inca storyteller for the occasional episode in TNG’s last seasons, but more often). I think Picardo was at his best when the Doctor was a frustrated…
His accent is absolutely perfect.
As a guy of Near Eastern descent who was often mistaken for Russian I found Sharif’s casting in that movie very relatable.
The PVV actually lost seats in the 2012 election.
Aren’t some of the people associated with Archer making another, less classy-looking drug dealing show, too?
