Oh yeah I immediately turned to my wife and asked if she remembered Thomas Riker. She did. The shocking thing about THAT episode was that they didn’t kill him off. They even set it up to confirm what everyone suspected would happen, and then flipped the script on us.

Seeing her walk down the hallway in normal clothes, I wanted to feed her many cheeseburgers. Call it a personal failing.

Yeah, I think you summed it up better than the review. I did NOT expect Ed to hit her with that ultimatum btw. I literally said “What the fuck??” out loud, and my wife went “Yeah.” I thought he was just going to tell her what he planned to do, or ask her permission, not twist her arm. He is clearly a flawed guy, which…

I found it slightly facepalmy, but I was way more annoyed by the Billie Joel, who I like loads less than Dolly.

I’ve thought of that too. They would basically have to make up some pop music, like Buck Rogers did, with their “Andromeda” band Buck had to protect, and you know it would end up sounding either too current, or so whacked out “futuristic” that it would look like they were trying to hard to make space music.

That was a weird line, or weird delivery, now that you remind me. It took me out of the show a little, though I wasn’t sure exactly why.

It was strange to see all the car rental jokes when they obviously knew they couldn’t name drop Enterprise.

ST: Discovery peeps can talk all the shit they want, but when it comes down to it, which show would Roddenberry like better if he were here? Disco or The Orville? I think the answer is obvious, even if folks don’t want to admit it. We know Gene wouldn’t even have liked DS9.

Like every middle school boy in history.

Yes! :D

Which was that one that made me decide the show was pretty corny/schlocky/awful in many ways, and pretty much made me want to stop watching (only finished it cos I do that w/ books too, and my wife was showing me the show cos she liked it).. Had that horrible song stuck in my head for days, and they they brought it…

This.

Yeah, even not liking the show that much, Daniela was one of the best things about it (all three of them, really) along with Kala and Sun.

The backstory you invented in your mind, since there has been no confirmation of what happened, only conflicting, vague statements by a single cast member.

Even soaps are smart enough to inform you with a voiceover, rather than try to write in cute, corny dialogue.

Plus the new guy looks like he has a toe for a head. The old actor was way more likeable, which is presumably why he got the role in the first place.

Tarantino.

LOL that’s not even remotely plausible. Must be sarcasm.
