Oh they’ve confirmed that Crystal is guest-starring?

Yeah, I thought Sammy just ran away (which seemed like a pretty strange way to unceremoniously excise his character from the series) but no, he’s been captured by the enemy. Nice work, black bolt!

I think the gimmick is that he wears boots on purpose to hide his hooves. I don’t think they’ve ever explained this though.

Because it was contractually mandated that each of the Inhuman characters spend time getting to know regular old humans (and in more than one case, falling in love).

I burst out laughing when Locus started snarking about the Royal Family. There was not a single one of Medusa’s arguments that held any weight - I was completely on Locus’s side there.

Still not sure how I feel about the drug-selling plotline Karnak got stuck with, but he’s rapidly becoming one of the shows better…

I’m a professional Nerf Herder.

It really was an amazing scene. But Patrick Stewart has so many amazing moments that picking a favorite is impossible.

The article is literally called “A brief history of swearing on Star Trek.” You can nitpick and say those words aren’t considered swearing, but you’re commenting on an article discussing the history (and evolution) of swearing in the franchise. You can’t talk about the history of swearing without pointing out that it…

Picard’s scene with Guinan you mentioned is just one of the absolute best of the series — while we’re still getting a handle on what distinguishes this wartime Picard from the peacekeeper/diplomat Picard, he’s losing his temper with a calm and resolute Guinan, and Goldberg and Stewart are just electric. Who doesn’t…

This is not a perfect history. Contrary to popular belief, McCoy never actually swears on TOS. Those famous, “Damn it, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a -” one-liners were never preceded with “damn.” It’s actually a case of the Mandela effect.

Swear words were only used twice on TOS, both in the first season. In “Mudd’s Women,”…

“My hair does not require trimming, you lunkhead.”

An interesting note: the episode begins and ends with dopplegangers/doubles; first in the dream and then in the mirror.

I’m pretty sure real Stamets had already left the mirror, but the image stuck around for a little longer, hence the creepy music.

On the one hand, it was kind of cute. On the other, it reeked of “because we can and no one can say no.”

For having not heard from the Klingons in 100 years...they sure seem to have encountered the Klingons a lot in the last 100 years.

It was the most classic Star Trek episode yet. Issues of moral philosophy set on a backdrop of expedience and threat.

-The spore drive is well known. This is not some secret project that gets forgotten about because it was compartmentalized. Starfleet is attempting to mass produce it and the Klingons have figured out something is up and saw the ship jump. My guess is that, along with the eugenics restrictions and whatever the fuck…

SHIELD hired a guy called Jeff Ward over the summer so theres another one coming

Medusa is humanized and becomes just a hair more sympathetic

I have no idea what Karnak’s pot farm romance is doing on this show, other than giving the character something to do before the family reunites for the final act. I at first thought their time on the beach was going to lead to him finding Triton/’s body, but no: Inexplicable sexy times!
