If they were going do it, that would've been the moment (honorable mention for the idea of having it where it was, but not having Spock scream it, just say it with quiet rage). Even if it did get some laughs, it wouldn't have deflated the emotion of the scene in that place. In fact, well timed, it could've been an…

@leave_the_silver_city:disqus From what I've seen from Orci, here's how it actually went down (it was hard to tell because in the middle of the movie, everyone was lying, but just a little bit). Admiral Marcus was using Khan to develop weapons while refusing to unfreeze his crew. Khan slipped the cryotubes into the…

@avclub-7cbaf9384cf3835106bf2f444c0bcf65:disqus Originally, in that Crusade episode where everyone has character-building flashbacks while they talk to the egg-man who communicates in subtitles, the rogue telepath Matheson helped during the Telepath War was going to be Lyta. At the end of the flashback, just before…

K. Erin Hannon's first name disappeared into the same time-warp that the Senator's kids (and the "State" gag) vanished into. They'll emerge someday in some other show.

And what exactly did Nimoy-Spock tell Quinto-Spock about Khan which could have helped defeat him?

Space echo. There's a third (well, second) echo if you listen closely, but it's mostly eaten up by the synthesizers in the score.

I gave the movie a C- minus here. Would've been a B- if they hadn't just paused the movie for fifteen minutes to do a Family-Guy reenactment of "The Wrath of Khan," and an A(-? No A+ option, so I guess A-) if he'd just been John Harrison, ex-Starfleet asshole. They were almost kind of pulling off Khan until the…

Dramatic space-echo. It actually happens a third time, which is super-echoy.

I kind of thought we might see the Clara of that era pop up at the end to be his consort.

It was a bit surreal watching the episode when the DVDs first came out in April, 2003, and G'Kar was ranting about the Centauri hiding "weapons of mass destruction."

I subscribe to the theory that transwarp worked so well it just became 'warp,' and that's why the speeds were recalibrated with '10' at the top in the TNG-era.

@avclub-81f1e2cb3513ac18c77dd0159ec182c3:disqus In my hypothetical HD remastered and enhanced Blu-Ray Babylon 5 release (Warner Bros, call me! I have test shots!), one of the things I decided I would do is to hypertext the frak out of those captions. On Blu-Ray (or even DVD, honestly) it'd be perfectly possible to…

The transparent skull is so there isn't any interference blocking his telepathic mind-control rays.

I always forgot the second half of the joke was even in there. I just took it as a parody of the kind of over-the-top state-sponsored atheism fundigelicals pretend that "separation of church and state" means so they can imagine they're persecuted, which was funny enough.

That was just the last straw. He threw away Lana on women like Scatterbrain Jane, Trinette, and Mallory. Not to mention Carol. And he wasn't even bored waiting for the cable guy!

@avclub-97b2d5e5f92c333976018236d76658d9:disqus Sperm donations can be frozen indefinitely. Archer was 35 in the pilot, so he's probably ~39 now. Ten-plus years isn't that long for a sample to last. 
Or not everyone remembers the one throw-away line about how old Archer is.

As soon as the Senator mentioned his Chief of Staff, I remembered the throwaway line about how he was the one who cried most of all at the wedding to Angela.

@avclub-348b96a08a123a3e6b50a17eeb9f18a0:disqus "The Runaway Bride" is a good example of the Doctor-as-Imperialist, but "The Christmas Invasion" is a better one. At the end of that, he beats the Sycorax captain in a duel, and makes him "swear on the blood of his species" to leave Earth alone. I'm pretty sure this is…

Archer seems to be actually proceeding in something like one-year-per-season, albeit in the weird fractured world it takes place in. Cyril and Trinette met in the second episode of the show, and she'd given birth by the first season finale. Lana said it had been over a year she slept with someone when she got back…

And then Archer beaned Cyril on the head with a cookie jar when he (of all people) said Archer was stupid for impregnating a hooker. And Trinette admitted it wasn't Archer herself.
