They would dust the murder weapon, even if they didn't expend a bunch of other effort on the crime.

If Elizabeth gets arrested for the hobo murder, her fingerprints would match fingerprints on the mail robot bug.

Maybe Pastor is the name of Tim's sentient parasitic wig, and if you are speaking to them both collectively, you refer to them as PastorTim, so as not to be rude to the weird life form on top of Tim.

The anxiety I felt in this episode was exactly the anxiety I imagined I would feel when Stan brings his buddy Gaad to a Jennings family barbecue, and Gaad keeps staring at Elizabeth, if they had gone that route with the Stan-&-Gaad-are-buddies-now idea introduced in the flash-forward.

That's some bullshit, there.

I thought they might be going somewhere with Gaad, when they showed him again with the flash forward, and mentioned that he was going to be traveling. I expected Gaad to show up at the travel agency his new friend Stan recommended at some point and recognize the woman who beat the crap out of him. Oh well. RIP, Gaad.

Defecting requires a degree of gumption that I don't think William possesses.

Granite countertops existed in the 80s in pricey homes. They weren't as common as they are now but it's not inconceivable. Dark wood cabinets existed, too. The cabinets matched the dining room table, tying the kitchen and dining area together, and all the dining room furniture was a straight-up match to the furniture…

The way they are cracking down on Axanar makes me wonder if the new series isn't in that time frame, shortly before the Kirk era. They seem to be ignoring TNG+ era fan shows.

At this stage in pre-production, they had already announced that TNG would take place 100 years or so after the original series, and that it would be on a 24th century version of the Enterprise. So, we know less about this one than we did about TNG when TNG was about this far out.

The Trill were presented as a relatively new-to-the-Federation species when they were first introduced in TNG, though they were a little inconsistent about that as DS9 went on.

That looks like the logo of a mediocre fan production that CBS wouldn't bother to sue because it looked so cheap and shoddy.

Many alien worlds will look suspiciously like NCIS sets.

In the episode where Space Hitler was running a touring company of Hamlet, Kirk explained to the chick he was banging that different parts of the ship had different lighting cycles, to mimic different times of day.

Data being a wonder made no sense since Federation scientists discovered a way to make super-realistic androids in the first season of the original series. In the second season Kirk & company find a planet with an android factory and end up making hundreds of android replicas of Harry Mudd's wife, just for fun.…

The idea that things aren't what they seem, coupled with the shout-out to Howland Reed, might turn out to be significant if the zany fan theory that Howland Reed is the High Sparrow turns out to be true.

You could tell the city was a model, I always figured the HBO-logo-in-space part was all animation. I had no idea the HBO logo was an actual chrome object. My god.

Yeah, but they also have a bitchin' 82 Camaro. Wouldn't you want to drive your bitchin' 82 Camaro and rock out to your tape deck for 18 hours?

Oh, that's not true. Orlando has an IKEA now. And more toll roads.

The speed limit went up from 55 to 70, though, so it's a little less time now.
