The Patriot Act. Read it.

That's probably why Memory Alpha is so good, they just stick all that EU crap on a separate site. Star Wars wiki-editors - pay attention!

She probably wouldn't tell him where his friends were.

I think it's more that Gareth is wary of Tim derailing the meeting with what Gareth probably assumes is some sort of prank or foolishness. He also probably can't bear to miss an opportunity to exert his will and power on Tim.

There's a call back to to Tobias' line "This kind of agility?" in Ready, Aim, Marry Me! when Gob laments he doesn't have the skills to spy on Lucille 2, and Buster asks (four minutes later…) "These kinds of skills?"

I think they picked Frere Jacques because Picard had never played with accompaniment before and they wanted to start with something simple.

The salary of a quarter of a million is the same every season. It's just the restaurant that changes.

Keep in mind that these guys aren't exactly auteurs with complete creative control over the movies they write. They write the movies in a formulaic way so that the studios will buy them, and then watch as directors and producers totally ruin them. They explicitly state this in the interview.

How much fuck brilliant comedy.

I feel like part of the appeal of Neil's joke was that it was cheeky in that he probably shouldn't say it, but overall it was a pretty subtle double entendre. Both having "new men under him" and "top of the pile" would be totally acceptable in a normal conversation. The gay bit is all subtext, and it pretty much all…

But I think even Gareth's military ties are part of the joke. He's in the Territorial Army, which is sort of a joke in England. It's more like being a glorified boy scout. It's not the exact equivalent of the National Guard in America, and that's why Dwight isn't in the National Guard.

These are really good episodes, to be sure. However, I really like the episodes in series 2 where the BrentNeil rivalry heats up, specifically episodes 2 and 3. Brent's behavior is really childish and yet still believable.

I like the knock-off Yellow Submarine song they use at the end of that episode (Making a Stand)

Suddenly he's too much of a big shot to brush Mother's hair.

Women are as filthy as men. Naming no names. I don't know any. But, women are dirty.

ADHD is right about the carnival line.

But if the virus was intended to kill everyone before their planet arrived in our solar system in the interest of being humane, why was the planet brought in just hours after the plague attempt was foiled? The virus was supposed to take five weeks to kill everyone.

I'm sure it's legally defensible to pull a gun on someone who has pulled a gun on you (if not completely safe). If she is the only one who got into trouble for the incident, it either didn't happen like she said or other stuff happened that she left out.

Get out!

One more vote for reviewing DS9 and TNG separately. I watched the final seasons of TNG without ever seeing DS9, and I was able to follow what happened just fine.
