I remember it being discussed on DS9 when Worf and Jadzia wanted a baby, just before Jadzia died.

Can you really "make a deal" with the Tal Shiar?

I would like to know what the Vulcans' opinion was on the proposed evacuation of Romulus, and also why the Romulans couldn't organise / negotiate their own evacuation.

I think it was Lara Croft.

Mr Jumpylegs. I have a question too. I have a 32" tv and couldn't read the texts that Michael was looking at when he was on Earth. Who were they from? Loved the cricket reference in Tahani's bucket list (breaking Graham Gooch's record) which I imagine meant nothing to most viewers!

Hope it's o.k. to post this on here although you haven't got up to episode 4:02 in your rewatch yet. I rewatched it last night and noted that Brent mentioned that he had a kid ("all that money's going to my dumb kid".) But we never saw any of the other characters ask him about his kid after that. I would have thought that having children would make a big difference to how you view a "Good Place" type afterlife, with apparently no prospect of ever seeing them again even when they die, or of finding out how they are getting on without you. I realise he said "my dumb kid" but that doesn't mean he didn't really love him or her!

So sad to hear of Aron Eisenberg's death, and at such a young age too. RIP Aron.

I liked fake Jocelyn boasting that she had been in SVU - Andre Braugher played a recurring character in SVU!

For anyone who doesn't know what happened at the beginning of WU, it must have cut to them a second too soon and the camera caught Colin reaching down under his desk.

Jake said in this episode that all his grandparents are still alive, but he inherited his Nana's apartment?!

In this episode, John said that he had never been dumped, but I thought he told Isaac in a previous episode that he always manipulated girls into dumping him? Or does he maybe not count that as being dumped?

I think they said in previous episodes that someone was convicted posthumously of killing Will, and now they are saying that Woodard was tried for it "in absentia". But surely being tried "in absentia" doesn't apply when the accused is actually dead?

The record of the fingerprints taken from the toys is missing from the evidence room, but have they still got the actual toys in there? As for the supposed clue Hays found in Amelia's book, isn't there supposed to be an online discussion group who are obsessed with the case? So wouldn't they have spotted this clue already, or was the note kept secret from the public all this time?

This episode has just been shown on a free channel in the UK - it had previously been on pay channels but I hadn't seen it. I realise that they had an episode a while back which was supposed to settle all the questions about the fact that Leon had a false identity - it was fine because NCIS knew about it all along. But surely he couldn't run for Congress without someone digging into his past and revealing his stolen identity? Even if a journalist innocently went to look for people who knew him when he was growing up to get some quotes for a piece supporting him, they would likely realise that he wasn't the real Leon Vance, never mind opposition research. So I don't see how he could ever have seriously considered running. And surely Gibbs would be aware of that. As for the main plot, I thought Tony rented the apartment and his father was sub-letting it to Tim and Delilah? In this episode someone said that Tony had bought the apartment? Anyway, like everyone else, I was relieved that the fish were o.k. I thought Delilah would probably have heard about the triple homicide from a neighbour already.

The whole thing about Charlotte Thorne, MP (the murder victim) made no sense. She was referred to as an MP, not a minister or Secretary of anything, so how would she be making a speech at the G20? (And even if she did have a government post, and did get to make a speech, surely it would have to be approved by the UK government anyway, not on her own personal agenda.) And shouldn't Kirkman have been busy glad-handing foreign leaders if the G20 was on, instead of focusing on that pension issue? I suppose it could have been the G20 Finance Ministers or Foreign Ministers meeting, but again, she would still have to hold a government post, and I don't think the anti-arms dealers speech would quite fit either of those. Or was she planning to make the speech at a fringe event, in which case, would anyone really be that bothered? And if she was just a back-bench MP, she would have a long way to go to be talked of seriously as a future PM. Also, there would have been massive security around the G20.

I noticed that Hannah introduced her British sidekick as "from Scotland Yard", but that would mean he works for the Metropolitan Police (i.e. the London police force, and it's New Scotland Yard now, anyway) rather than MI6 or even MI5. I expect Hannah was wrong though. It was nice to see Meredith Brody from NCIS New Orleans turn up.

We're seeing this season on tv now (at last!) in the UK, and I don't think anyone has mentioned on here (up to this point in the season) that Henry uses contractions when he's being Hector. A couple in a previous episode and a couple in this one.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. After I posted, I realised that my theory didn't work because it would mean they should have bumped into the previous versions of themselves on their time jumps, and would all have died! So I'm back to thinking the journal is a fake and that either Flynn was lying about meeting old Lucy, or she was in on the fakery (or someone brought Lucy's doppelganger great-grandmother forward in time to impersonate her.)

The season (or series?) finale has just been shown in the UK, and I'm puzzling over Lucy's journal. Up until the final episode, my best guess was that it was written by some Rittenhouse person who had samples of Lucy's handwriting and knew her well enough to fake it (maybe the history professor who taught both Lucy and that woman who had memorised the list of Rittenhouse members? Or one of Lucy's relatives?) But now that Flynn has said that he was given it by an older Lucy (who had "aged well"), how did that happen exactly? I can't see how there can be a fixed time loop whereby "our Lucy" writes the journal and then travels back in time to give it to Flynn (for one thing, she has no need to write it now, since he gave her the written version in this episode, so if she did go back in time to give it to him, closing the loop, it would be one of those "bootstraps" paradoxes where it was never written at all.) I don't think Flynn jumped forward in time to get the journal from an older Lucy (and it would have had to be to a time after his own death, or the time jump would have killed him) because the people at Mason Industries could track his jumps and they never said he went to the future. So it seems that in the original timeline (before the show started), Flynn stole the time machine, Lucy and the team chased after him, Lucy wrote the journal and ended up working with Flynn, but wasn't satisfied with the outcome, and she waited until there was a pilot young enough not to exist in 2016, then jumped back to give Flynn the journal so things would work out differently somehow. And it must have been important enough to her that she would die for it, because the time jump would kill her as she already existed in 2016.

This episode has just aired on Channel 5 (free channel) in the UK. I do love a Ducky episode, and I was delighted at the mention of his half-brother at the beginning, because I thought that they would finally explain how come he had a nephew, who was mentioned in a couple of episodes but evidently didn't inherit half of Ducky's mother's estate. Ducky having a half-brother who had a different mother made so much sense in that regard, but of course it turned out that he can't be the nephew's father, so that is still a mystery. As someone who grew up in the UK in the seventies, I have to say the flashbacks were laughable and showed a minimal amount of research. You couldn't take a child into a pub bar in 1973, and any pub which had a massive Union Jack flag on the wall would have been a place to avoid at all costs! And Albania was a strict communist country at the time - I doubt that you could easily fly there from the UK, and if Ducky's stepmother and Nicholas did manage to get there, they might not have been able to leave. But it made no sense that she would want to go there. Also, hard to believe that Ducky was going to give up his career so he could look after Nicholas in those days; it would have been more likely that their father would hire a nanny or send Nicholas off to boarding school if he had been given custody. The rare stamps showed a price of 20p but that would have been way too high in 1973, and surely the only way for a stamp of that era to be as valuable as they said in the episode (I think they said half a million dollars?) would be if it had a printing error, but they didn't say anything about it having one. Unless the 20p was the printing error, I suppose!
