I’m sorry I can’t remember the specific one I noticed last night, but I’m always amazed at how hard Berry works to very slightly mispronounce words that aren’t even the focus of the sentence.

Yeah, I completely agree that it’s hard to consider them the same person.

The guy looked so much like him I a) knew who he was the instant he appeared on screen and b) I thought there was a fair chance he was actually a descendant — Doohan’s actual son has appeared as Scotty in a fan film series but would be too old himself now for this.

Thank for the opportunity to remark on that word, which I will always insist exists for one reason: so a Star Wars movie didn’t have to include the words “kill all the children”.

Ok, uh, see, as part of the retro-TV of SNW, you’re supposed to watch it as you would a 1960s show, where you were 100% guaranteed that your in-the-opening-credits cast would survive.

My reading of the show’s intention of the whole Spock/Chapel thing is “Oh, in TOS we just thought that Chapel has a huge crush on Spock that he could never ever reciprocate [*subliminal man voice* gay-coded] but, oho, they actually were an item years ago but he crushed his emotions in some Vulcan way we haven’t seen…

Marie. Given last week, but also apparently seen on a display during the Una-on-trial episode.

Right.  Margot Kidder’s Lois wasn’t a new hire.

(Two years later)

I come two years later to say...this is not far from Los Espookys.

I can confirm the cheese-in-a-plastic-globe thing.

OK, I JUST realized that “Evie” is “EV”, emotional vampire.  Unless this was explicit in S1?

I’ve seen (what I presume is) the clip, and I’m worried that Quaid’s Boimler, who’s perfectly appropriate for his animated series, will be intolerable here. OTOH I loved his blue-tinted hair.

Sounds tricky to implement correctly but...wow, unusually intelligent response from a corporation. Make the product better? Crazy talk, usually!

I would like to know the base salary though, for completeness. I expect it to be low-ish because it would be the same as for shows that pay residuals, and the low initial pay is with the understanding that there might be more money coming later.

Huh.  It’s still a weird decision to go so meta, and the script is credited to both Ephron sisters so it’s not like they didn’t have the ability to do otherwise/better.

If you haven’t seen 22 Jump Street: the meta is turned WAY up (“Yes, we’re just going to do the same shit again!”) and don’t miss the fake trailers for the next 10 movies in the series at the very end.

“oh, people think dwarves are all short, but actually only some of us are”

I like conceptually that the B plot of this episode is about terrible customer service.

I’m going to agree with a lot of this — I mean, look it’s Carol Kane....for like 3 scenes in the first ep and then a bigger role in #3 but in the past, and we’re halfway through the season already. Also, this whole thing isn’t as good as last year’s Vulcan Hijinx, although it’s hard to top the comedy of doing a body…
