Nancy Kerrigan is gonna end up being Anna Kendrick, right?

This is obviously super nerdy nit-picky semantics, but I don't think Dax would have been Curzon already by that time (110-ish years before DS9). That would be Emony, wouldn't it (who knew Dr. McCoy and was presumably around in his Academy days)?

I think the gap between series and movies had a lot to do with that. There's 10+ years between the end of TOS and first movie (and 22 years by the time they were done). That allowed them to make the movie series mostly about the crew confronting aging. It feels like a different beast than the series.

Plus, that Pixar movie should have been called The Mediocre Dinosaur, because that guy was a big nothing.

That movie came out in 2012. And it was okay.

He kind of is a bait-and-switch (or at least he's part of one). You expect Pua the pig to be the cute, helpful animal sidekick, but then he gets left home and the stupid rooster gets to go instead.

A friend of mine suggested recently that the Han Solo movie could turn out to be about the first time Chewie brings Han home to meet Lumpy, Itchy, and Mala.

If you have Edward Herrmann in your cast, why would you ever get rid of him?!

YES.

I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!

Didn't AS-P always say that she "always" knew what the final four words would be? I get the impression that from the time she wrote the pilot, she had that ending in mind for Rory.

Wait, is Grant Lee Phillips a thing outside of being the Stars Hollow troubadour?

It was the intended ending. The Palladinos discuss it here, for example:

It's entirely possible that Erik and I are the same person. I had such a crush on Rory back in high school and college, to the point where I self-identified with Marty, the guy who's super into her but has to be content with just being a friend. She was my #1 fictional dream girl.

It was on the WB at the same time as Gilmore Girls, the only show this website ever thinks about anymore.

I figured. But she never appeared on Doctor Who!

Louise Jameson, I hope!

I don't care if the turkey says the dog is the turkey. The dog is not the turkey! The turkey's the turkey, you turkey!
