We're definitely on the Wild Side here…

Bifur was related to Bofur.

Nickoledean, no swiping!
I dunno, doesn't roll off the tongue the same as "Swiper no swiping".

I'll admit to wondering how unnameable cyclopean horrors (non- Euclidean, even!) translate to the screen. But if anyone can do it it's del Toro.

My goodness, she was smokin' hot. I could stare at that mouth for days.

Mmmmmm, syrup…

Well played Al.

There are in fact very good reasons for that, but after all the build-up I think people wanted to see something blowing up real good, even it if ultimately failed to stop the Borg.
