"Neither Sisko nor Kasidy mentions the possibility of an abortion in their scene together, which got me to wondering: has abortion ever come up on a Trek series before? I don’t think it’s a huge lapse here, since they both want the child, but still, you’d think it would come up."

"Look at the rack I've given you. Those will stay right where they are for an eternity. You're welcome!"

"Imaginary Britta—and only Imaginary Britta—is right."

"In particular, Gillian Jacobs seems to have a better voice than I gave her credit for there."

Before this ep, have we actually seen any boobs since "New York Sour"? (I remember Eddie throwing that wannabe actress out of Nucky's bed, and maybe we got to see Mrs. Dickie Pastor's boobs while Purnsley was doing her, but that's about it.) And that was half a season ago.

That's probably the best explanation that can be fanwanked, but I still don't buy it.  There's a huge difference between throwing dinner parties because you love to entertain, and running a restaurant every day.  Nobody but nobody in our society buses tables for the sheer joy of it. 

I'm willing to buy joining Starfleet for the adventure of it all, plus room and board.  (Like joining the Army today to see the world.)  Waiting tables, not so much. 

Apropos of nothing, somebody explain to my how you run a restaurant in a world with no money.  Or more importantly, WHY you'd want to do that — a hell of a lot of work with no monetary reward.  

Yeah, that was bad.  I'd much rather they go with small, realistic explosions, or just make them all happen off camera, than the ridiculous CGI crap.

Ok, explain to me what's so damn hard about a pub brewery menu—You've got burgers, chili, fish and chips, mac and cheese, maybe a pot pie or two… A dozen menu items, tops, and you're good to go.

There's not going to be any more paintball?! LAAAAAMMMME!!!

"Ross and Rachel, the closest equivalent I can think of to Sam and Diane, made it through 20-odd episodes of Friends before that girl from the copy shop messed everything up."

They're allowed to Chang their minds.

Yeah, we're no where near Ramadan, either.
