There were also two consecutive episodes in the second or third season where he was gone, and some random Starfleet douche who vaguely looked like him was suddenly there. As a kid, I straight flipped the fuck out thinking I'd never see the Chief again.

Are we speaking Greek?!

Agreed. I had absolutely NO interest in Hell on Wheels (A bunch of no-namers and Common? Come on.) until I heard Meaney was in it.

"I was PROMISED flying cars. But there aren't any. Why. WHY? Why?"

He would always refer to House of Buggin' as "The House, dawg" (as in, "Yo, dawg, you catch The House last night?"). Made me want to watch it less and less, but I do remember it being…

This is what happens when you let the internet make a movie. Didn't we learn anything from Snakes on a Plane?
