What a missed opportunity to reference Victor Garber's actual 1970s appearance. I would have squealed if young Dr. Stein had a Jew-fro and rainbow suspenders.

Uncomfortable racial implications- I'm not seeing it. Racism by the Cromagnons against the Clan is portrayed a shame and a wrong. Each of the groups ayla encountered had good and bad aspects and individuals.

Don't forget her male companion's amazing gigantic magic pleasure penis and the gentle sensitive skill he wielded it with. LOL Seriously, I am convinced a ghost writer did books 4-6 because the silly goes up and up.

"By any means necessary" is my theory on getting that type of population to read.

That was the exact scene that I reacted too as well! I am also a southerner so you may be on to something with your explanation of why it hit you so hard.

I caught this on TCM ages ago and learned that the phrase "I'm free, white and 21" was a thing people said at one time to express their youthful need to have fun.

I loved that for once in a tv wedding the families were there just like in real life. All the time on tv shows the wedding has to be held in some impromptu way (all my friends are here and they are my real family! a la Parks and Rec)or some other dumb excuse has to be made to explain away why family does not attend.

Almost every well known Asian female actress of that age was in Joy Luck Club so it would be a reunion no matter what.

A Joy Luck Club reunion in the final scene! Tsai Chin is perfect for May's mother. I totally buy her as some Cold War era badass agent of undisclosed agency.

I want to protect her and I'm a hetero lady.

Such a shame Garak wasn't allowed to keep having that cracking gay subtext. In his early episodes I'm practically waiting for him to call Bashir "darling" or something.

She's got self confidence a mile wide and an inch deep. Mike Ruiz called her bs the first 10 minutes of episode 1.

Don't forget that the fertility problems will magically disappear just when the couple gives up/adopts after being told conception is impossible.

It just rings so false that folks who guzzle beer in every episode would be worried about pot messing them up as parents. Once I learned that the government has paid to have ham fisted anti-drug messages embedded in tv, plots like this made much more sense.

The bottle said amphetamine which is generic adderall. Of course now that she's had two of them, the show will have to end up with her in full blown addiction mode. snoooooz For once I'd like to see a character in tv/movies just dabble in a drug and then decide it isn't to their liking. That would be much closer to

I guess I'll be getting a bunch of messages from people who say something like this- I saw they are making (generic jukebox/movie remake musical) and I thought of you right away! Ugh. No. I hate this junk. THIS kind of show is not what I am thinking of when I tell people that I love musicals. Do rock fans have to like

Isn't that a shame too! I think you could tell some very interesting stories more in line with the story of the cowardly graduate in "Nor the Battle to the Strong" who did great on all the tests and then flamed out in the field. Push pull between academia/peaceful intention and the hawks. Issues on recruits like Nog

Much as I love seeing the little Red Squad turds get blown up, (We can do anything! NOPE!) I cannot fully get on board with this episode because no one ever takes starfleet to task for creating Red Squad in the first place. It is a terrible horrible no good very bad idea. "Captain" Watters and crew are victims of

They were so serving some of that tough-chick-BuffySummersish realness at the very end of last week when they meet up to roll out and again this week with the "killings". Specifically the elevator double elbow takedown. I'm with you on the WTF of why this never caught on. I watched faithfully and talked it up when I

I'm so glad someone else thinks this! A grown man who goes by "Scooter" no less!
