Yeah that is key. And given the story it would have been pretty dishonest to have a happy ending. Especially as I imagine the creators probably ran into their own version of Odo's character 40 years later, telling them that there's nothing wrong with a black captain, just that the public still weren't quite ready…

Not just any socialist! (Although you make a good point.) That guy just about has to be inspired by Trek's most prickly writer: Harlan Ellison.

I would say that they're both "realities", just that the DS9 one is bigger and if you like "realer" than the other one. Sort of like the time bubble in Donnie Darko or Last Temptation Of Christ: what happens there matters.

I do likewise, although in my version of Chrome at least sometimes it'll just increment through instances of my username on a page (1 of 5, 2 of 5, etc.) without actually taking me there. Some weird interaction of software & browser I guess.

This is precisely what I was thinking, and to an extent still am. She figured he would be less angry for her sleeping with Mycroft than from her keeping Mycroft's illness from him, so she rode the wave.

I think the Grease revival did that too (doesn't hurt that the substitute songs were made specifically to be easier to sing).

I had a lot of problems with this episode, but also really enjoyed it. So, Glee then.

So if a woman wears revealing clothes when she wants to, it means she also has to wear different revealing clothes when someone else wants her to?

"Anyone with unpaid late fees, leave the room now."

Oh yeah definitely. There's one early S7 scene that always sticks with me, where Vinnick and his crew are walking through after hours for a big legislative meeting with Bartlett, and somehow it's shot as if the few Bartlett workaholics still around are like ghosts, and Alan Alda is the head of the new family that…

Well seems like Rachel McAdam in TTW can get you to Bill Nighy, then go from About Time to Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, from where you can go all over the place.

Yeah it seemed like the end was going to be "screw the time stream!" and her bringing on women's lib early. (Which actually makes sense given how down on today the film is.)

Tank Girl, bitches!

I think 1 should be "pretty good, actually", as per Victoria Jackson.

So she was the Rachel McAdams of her time?

He never does apologize for giving her the ole' noodle stab.

YOU SHALL WATCH GOTHAM BURN. AND THEN, ONLY THEN, WILL YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO DATE.

Any movie that includes the phrase "elbow-deep in placentas all day" is nothing to be ashamed to like.

I liked this quite a bit. Reminded me a little bit of The Long Goodbye, in that it's an offbeat detective story that runs across the track of a lot of other stories. Some like the reviewer might see that as threads that go nowhere, I see it as realistic texture. Strange and unlikely things happen; a story in which…

Is this the film about teaching Chinese board games to nuns?
