Screw that. If I can steal anyone's voice I'm going to steal Adele's whole career. (I already kind of look like her.)

Ah. Hm. You're right.

I was surprisingly deeply moved by the moment, way at the end of the movie, when most of us have long since forgotten about the Air Conditioner character and assumed he was just an initial obstacle for our heroes to overcome — where the (grown-up) Boy repairs the Air Conditioner and gives it an approving little pat,…

That's true from a historical perspective, but it's unfair to expect the average casual TV watcher or even avid TV watcher to really put themselves in the mental place of someone in the 1960s that you'd need to have to genuinely perceive the show as "forward thinking".

I will say that the one moment where a brain-diseased Sulu-who-thinks-he's-D'artagnan calls Uhura "Fair maiden!" and she quickly replies "Neither!" is really really hilarious. All the more so because it probably wouldn't get written today.

I don't want to harp too much on being unhappy that Frasier is a Republican IRL but I will say that his performance on Boss and his view of the role seems to be strongly influenced by the conservative meme, held as an article of faith among Republicans, that Chicago is a horrifying den of Saddam Hussein-like…
