    My absolute favorite comedic moment of the episode was when Pike attempts to serve more Vulcan food at Sevet's request, but that's the moment Spock reveals his "humanness" so Pike veers aaaaway from the group with the tray of food he was carrying!  OMG, I literally LOL'd.  🤣 

    SO funny! Anson Mount really brought brilliant comic timing to his performance in this episode.

    I also loved when Sevet asked for more Vulcan food, and Pike snapped his fingers in the coming-right-up gesture. 😁

    This episode was a delight. My favorite parts

    • Uhura, La'an, and Ortegas trying to teach Spock to speak like a Vulcan. Hilarious!
    • All of Spock's post-change facial expressions. Kudos to Ethan Peck!
    • Pike was also great in this episode. Loved that he cooked Vulcan food for T'Pring's parents.
    • Spock discovering bacon 😆
    • T'Pril was magnificent and imperious. 
    • I loved how much Sevet loved Pike's Vulcan dishes.
    • Spock's impassioned speech about his mother and his humanity was quite moving.

    Caught up on this show over the last few weeks. Love it. Omar Sy is captivating. I received this show as a mix between Leverage and Knives Out, both of which I love.

    Glad to see that season part 3 is coming later this year.

    Father Brown - General Discussion

    in Father Brown

    · Edited by wanderingstar

    Watched the final 2 episodes of season 10 last night, and of course I loved them. This season has been delightful. However, I was miffed that we didn't get a kiss - or even a hug - for Mrs. Devine and Inspector Sullivan (or, Edgar, as we learned is his first name!) I usually don't like romances in my cozy mysteries, but I've strangely gotten invested in these 2.

    Amusing that Father Brown had an episode featuring bikers, as Grantchester's season 8 premiere also featured a biker gang.

    I still prefer the DI Mooney years as he had so much joy while living in the Caribbean and seemed to enjoy working with the officers.  Outside of Poole, Mooney has been my favorite-especially as there was never a hint of falling in 'love' with one of his team.  Both Humphries and Neville lost me over that issue.

    I loved DI Mooney. I think I rewatch his episodes the most. Poole was so obnoxious that I never really warmed to him.

    I wonder if this is one of those where the whole season is on Passport.

    I checked this morning; it is.

    I kept saying to my sister that I missed Sydney, who was 100% a fuck-up, but I found that endearing. I guess the writers felt the had to catch Will up to Sydney on the fuckedupedness. 

    His marriage to Bonnie was definitely rushed (would've been better if they started dating at the end of last season and married in the middle of this one) Based on this premiere, I'm wondering if the theme of this season will be him regretting that and seeing just how unready he is for marriage and fatherhood.  On the other hand, they could go in the direction of showing him maturing and learning from his mistakes. I guess that'll depend on if there's another season after this one.

    Anyone concerned how Will seemingly ditched the kid to go for a bike ride

    This was the first thing my sister said when we were watching. I assumed he'd dropped off Ernie at Mrs. C's.

    S02.E04: Among the Lotus Eaters

    in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    "I am Erica Ortegas, and I fly the ship!" 

    YES!

    Loved this episode. I particularly enjoyed seeing Ortegas featured more prominently. Loved how she used the repetition of that phrase to come back to herself and save the ship and crew. Melissa Navia definitely rose to the occasion.

    Liked the conceit of the memory-stealing planet and actually thought they could've done more with it, though that would probably have required another episode.

    Continuing to love this season.

    I assumed Sam was going to be sent away - (America, maybe, where Jakes is?)

    This was my thought as well - that they'd move abroad - if not America, then maybe somewhere Europe.

    Overall I think Endeavour was a great series, and I'll miss it. I hope Shaun Evans finds himself back on TV soon (and preferably with his natural accent this time... surely I'm not the only one who finds it incredibly sexy?)

    You're not! I adore his real accent, and I'd love to see him in a show or film where he gets to use it!

    That fake kiss scene was so goofy.

    Yeah, I didn't care for it, but then I've never been sold on the Morse/Joan thing. I really wish the writers had been brave enough to let them just be friends, without Morse pining for her.

    Hmm...so Morse sets up Lott's murder, but he's upset about Thursday committing a murder?  What's the difference?  

    Did he set up Lott's murder? I wasn't clear on that. I thought the bikers had followed him to his meeting with Lott.

    Forgot to mention that I loved the use of "In Paradisum" from Faure's Requiem (one of my all-time favorite pieces of music), calling back to the first episode of this series. I always loved seeing Morse singing in the choir. 

    Also, we know the reason for Fred's outburst at Morse when Morse came to see him at home, but in the moment, the look of stunned heartbreak on Morse's face pierced my heart. I wanted to give him a hug.
