I would love if they just killed the whole love triangle by having Chapel and T’Pring become friends. It would be such a refreshing change of pace, and do so much more for all three characters involved.

I enjoyed this episode okay, though it did feel a lot like setup. Also, I struggled to invest in the stakes when I know there’s no way they’re going back to war with the Klingons. It’s pretty much the same way I feel about Spock and Chapel. (And given how much I like T’Pring’s character, it kind of ticks me off the…

...and humans continue to be selfish turds.

I’m pretty sure Vin Diesel already has a thing in his Fast contract about never losing a fight so I’m sure he’ll be overjoyed to hear the ideal role of “bald guy that can’t lose” is out there on a silver platter now.

It’s always been a fantastic song; glad those darn kids will get a chance to appreciate it. So go ahead and run up that hill, but when you get there, just make sure you stay off my damn lawn!

Because the one thing stronger than Laszlo’s hypnotic powers is his self-regard. This is a specialized thing he thinks he knows how to do, because he spent a few hours doing it 300 years ago, so he’s going to show it off— he is that guy.

“Then who’s in our shower?”

Unless you’re the meh person at the company who wants the job, in which case it’s guaranteed to go to someone brought in from outside.

We’re one step closer to a “Tequila & Bonetti” reboot. Pretty sure Jack Scalia is still available for at least a cameo, but I’m not sure how budy Mariska Hargitay is.

My favorite displeased fanboys are the ones upset that the casting people dared to be unable to tell that Emma Watson would grow up to be such a bombshell, unlike Hermione.

I sleep well at night knowing I won’t have to explain to my grandkids someday that I was one of the good Germans.

HA! I was actually thinking of a place known as “Full Yum” which would be more appropriately named “1/5th of Yum” or “Full Yum—Empty Bowels”, but Cheesecake Factory works too. As does Applebees.

I can’t be the only one who saw Brother cleaning oysters and thought someone needed to say, “I always knew you were a baaad Brotha shucka”.
