Without the beacon that Misty smashed, it's searching for a needle in a haystack. Even with adequate resources it's still going to take a hell of a long time to search the whole area. Especially given that they'll first have wasted a lot of time in searching where the plane should have been if it hadn't gone off course.

I’m pretty sure they were in his house/bedroom and not hers when she found the necklace.

In episode 3 -

I think that by the time they found the Jackie jerky they were hungry enough that the idea of saving her for bait probably didn't cross their minds. But would cooked meat be that attractive to animals that would be used to eating raw meat?

Season 1 and 2 Gibbs was practically a different character. Once TPTB decided to go with the angsty dead wife/child backstory in season 3, it completely changed him. And not for the better IMO.

I don't think they even need a 'whacky' out for Pike. Surely all he needs to do is just retire from Starfleet at about the time of the radiation accident. Heck, he can even save the other victims first. The important thing is that Kirk gets the opportunity to command the Enterprise. Pike doesn't have to be incapacitated for that to happen. All that would be changed would be that Spock wouldn't have to steal the Enterprise and go to Talos IV.

I thought I was imagining it but yes, I do remember watching it. Couldn't tell you anything about it other than the name though!

There's definitely a few different versions of Swiss Family Robinson around. The original version I read as a child (a copy which had belonged to my father when he was a child) had an ending with some of the sons going back to civilisation, but I downloaded a copy only a few years ago which had them meeting with other survivors and staying put. I don't remember if the updated version toned down the religious aspect or not though.

(Facepalm) I think I've just realised the significance of the title. "lend me your ears", really show?

It wasn't the Romulans who provided him with a fake son. They were a simulation inside a simulation and the actual culprit was an alien looking for companionship.

My first thought on seeing Deanna on Vadic's ship was to assume that she was a changeling that was going to be used to pressure Riker into betraying Picard. My second thought was that surely Riker will be smart enough to consider that possibility. My third thought was to wonder if we'll get a long awaited sequel to Shades of Gray as Deanna tries to convince Riker that yes, she is really his wife and not an imposter. 😀

The whole 'using the Aran jumper for identification' is a bit of an urban myth though. Still, at least none of the segments referred to 'St. Patty's day', so it could have been worse.

I don't think they were wrong to ask if their kids were okay with it. I think they were wrong to ask them in a group setting like that. Tommy and Trevor should have each sat down with their own family and explained the situation to them. And then maybe Melody could have expressed her doubts - I'm not saying that Trevor should have let her veto the relationship, but he could at least have considered her feelings on the matter. (If your kid isn't happy with something, you need to listen to them and try and understand why) But putting Melody on the spot like that, even ignoring the 'bad seed' trope, after everybody else has said "Yay" to the relationship, how is a kid, even with legit doubts, going to feel able to speak their mind.

I remember a Roddenberry quote from when TNG was starting, about how it wasn't that there was no cure for baldness by the 24th century, it was that by the 24th century, nobody cared whether people were bald or not. Vadik speaking to her 'boss'. Guess that gives a new meaning to 'talk to the hand'.

I didn't really get a 'Wesley is really afraid of his wife' vibe. It seemed more like the running gag that Lopez can be scary. Like the conversation between Lucy and Tim one time. Tim making a comment about disliking lawyers. Lucy "We like Wesley, don't we?" TIm "We tolerate Wesley because we fear Lopez" I don't think anybody was expected to take it as real fear, either then or now.

Nitpick, it's Captain Jellico, not Jerico.

I'm pretty sure that the 'no moving a victim' rule doesn't apply when they'd be in more danger if left where they were.

Question for anyone who has cancelled Netflix or any other streaming service and then gone back to it. Does your history and 'mylist' get deleted as well or would they be still there when you went back to it? I'm in the middle of an analysis of my streaming services to see if there's any that I don't use enough to keep paying for, and would be worth dropping, at least temporarily, but I just wonder whether I'd be able to pick up where I left off if something really good showed up.

Am I the only one who googled 'sink puppies' after this episode? I have to admit that I'm liking this show a lot more than I expected to. It's not exactly mentally taxing and I like that the characters all seem to be getting on fairly well together. Still prefer the original show, but it's not as far apart as I thought it would be.

But only if that disease is Ruleritis. 😉

And that was all Bashir's fault 😉

I'm leaning towards Jack not being Beverly's biological son. Either that or it's a similar situation to Deanna in 'The Child'. (and I expect to be completely wrong on both counts!)

Sorry, I didn’t realise that there was a cut off point for changing your mind prior to a wedding.

Getting cold feet and wanting to call off the wedding on his wedding day was bad, but better than going through with something he wasn't committed to. However, making Anya be the one to tell everybody was an epic dickish move.

I went to see the movie, expecting to be bored out of my mind until the iceberg showed up - I was more interested in the disaster element than the 'romance'. I did actually find the first half more entertaining than I'd expected, but it was in spite of the romance and certainly not because of it. (mid 20s when it came out, if that makes a difference!)
