Maverick

I guess he thought he found a drug mule.

Nick, if you're going start a zombie parade you need helium filled balloons. Why does Nick always look like he's about to make out with a walker when he's up close with one?

Nick: "If I can't wear old man clothes, I won't wear anything"

Yes, that's what I meant to say about Data...typed too fast. I did enjoy Picard's mild annoyance at Data's Sherlock fixation. "Let's continue without the pipe, shall we?"

Just saw the first season episode Lonely Among Us. The edit was really bad on this one. Picard starts to explain that they picked up an energy creature when they passed through the cloud (if only I had a nickel for every time THAT happened I could restart the world economy in Trek) and then immediately cuts to Data saying 'you can join with an energy being'. There's a lot of exposition left out there. Once you get passed the usual season 1 issues (stilted dialogue, get blackout drunk taking a shot ever time someone says sir, Wesley) the biggest WTF is reliving Picard of duty. After dancing around the issue, Beverly confronts Picard in his Ready Room and he admits that he's effectively possessed by and energy being that has primary control of him. In the next scene, Riker says he's convinced more than ever that Picard has been taken over (well no shit, since Beverly's sitting right next to you and surely just told her about confronting him) and worse says there's nothing he can do about it. The Hell? Forget reliving him of duty, lock his ass up until someone can figure our how to do an exorcism on him. On the continuity front, Picard's love of mysteries and Data's fascination are both first mentioned here. Although no fault of the writers because they had no idea of plot lines six years in the future, Riker should have been extremely uneasy during the conversion among the senior officers about relieving Picard of duty.

The car was white, so WHYTCAT is for 'white cat' since jaguar is a member of the cat/feline family. I'm not touching WHYTPSY (yes, that's intentional) but hopefully decrypting the first will connect the dots on the second. If not, you're probably better off not knowing.

It's Tyler Florence and Valerie Bertenelli..

So did the kid have a burned face because he could they couldn't get the actor back? I know he was heavily made up, but it didn't look like the same guy. I can't believe that's all we got after that buildup for months but then i realize what show I'm watching and of course they'd do something stupid like that. At least Strand's facade is starting to crack. He was genuinely grossed out by the ground parts in the filtration system. I think it's clear Strand brought these people along to be the help because he's really not the roll up your sleeves type. These people are truly too stupid to live. Even CDB was never this bad. At least they watched out for each other. These fools wander off on dreamy little personal explorations like they're pretentious college kids trying to find the real Paris. Alicia's waxing philosophical about her brother's past while lazily going through a dead man's luggage like she's looking through the 90% off rack Kohl's. Chris is off mercy killing killing people in the least merciful way possible....apparently liking it. Salazar, the supposedly responsible adult driving the bus for this little field trip decides to trust the resident drug addict with the secret his daughter needs stronger meds. And Nick, who started the day playing Airline Pilot Ken, apparently never learned not to stand with half your foot off the edge and ends up being the entree for a walker who's just finished his crab appetizer. I'm glad to know the walkers are coordinated enough to negotiate sloped, damp, rocky coastline that even the living can have trouble with.

I saw this show for the first time in a while today and I agree with both comments above: did Sunny get her makeup from the Revlon 1960's Vegas Showgirl Collection and Marcella seriously needs to put a lid on the tortilla shit. My third--and probably biggest issue--with today's show: did Jeff really just educate us on a how to do a cheese tray by cutting summer sausage "medallions" and cheddar cheese squares? Seriously? The fuck? Like one who was hated enough to receive a Hickory Farms 'gift set' was smart enough to do that? And no Jeff, just because you mention that it's "like" that stuff you get in a holiday gift basket doesn't make that shit ok.

Yes, she was the one that spilled hot chocolate on Picard. On his way to change his uniform, Q abducts him and cleans his uniform for him.

Probably at least as many who would remember Daimon Bok. Sonya was at least in two episodes, one of which introduced the Borg.

I still can't fathom what the writers were thinking with some of the episodes leading up to the end of the series. Bloodlines, for example. With a handful of episodes let before the finale, they not only choose to bring back the Ferengi and do a sequel to an utterly boring first season episode but they wrap it around a 'Picard had a love child' plot. The scene in sickbay after the DNA test is literally one step away from a Maury Povitch segment. "Jean-Luc Picard, you ARE the father!" All they needed was Riker and Worf whooping it up from the doorway. If they were going to follow up on something unpopular from an earlier season, I would rather find out what happened to Dr. Pulaski or Sonya Gomez.

Yes. They recruit from the same place as CTU and NCIS.

Why the fuck haven't they taken the radio away from that twit.

Listen to Admiral Ackbar, Angsty...It's a trap!

At least she gets residuals. Madison was the practical one last year and Travis was all Mr. Touchy Feely It'll Work OK. Was there a personality transplanon the beach?

And now I want the old man jacket back.

Weekend at Strandy's

Since e it's based on the Walking Dead universe, I assume he had to be involved somehow, if only giving them the rights.

Hey T-Dog. As the final "episode" of the plane story reminded me (since 97% of it was scenes from FTWD), the plane landed/crash landed while the group was still in their neighborhood under military control. So I'm assuming the survivor from the plane makes their way to the ocean during the events of the final episodes of season 1 and well hear about the fate of the plane second-hand. Which is par for the course for this don't show and barely tell show.

I see where i misread the part of Dax becoming Ro's mentor, but the first part still reads like Ro often tells Dax to loosen up. Either way, I'm glad she didn't move over. Nana Visitor was very invested in Kira character while Forbes was not happy being involved with Star Trek and I think that would have effected her performance.

But Kirkman's not interested in any of that...so of course anyone else is wrong for wanting to see it.

I never saw that description before. I think it's interesting the relationship with Dax is completely flipped from what we ended up with her and Kira. I'm glad it worked out the way it did because with all the past lives Dax didn't need to be mentored. I also think it's odd that they envisioned Ro telling anyone to lighten up since she was a very serious, intense person. I think the relationship with open-minded Dax getting Kira to move on from her difficult past worked much better. I assume if Forbes had signed on they would have addressed Ro's promotion in early season 6. Maybe we could have been spared Realm of Fear and got an episode focusing on O'Brien building a relationship with her instead of Barclay.

Since they showed Cookie in the bedroom, dining room and on the porch I'm assuming there will be a series of commercials with him. Also, Cookie Monster has good taste. That's a nice house.

It was established in the pilot (and a thread throughout the rest of the series) that the Federation was there at the request of the Bajoran government. One of the conditions of them running the station was to have Bajoran first officer. My assumption was always that if Ro had been moved to DS9, they would have had her leave Starfleet for some reason in a TNG episode and go back to Bajor. Then when the Cardassians left, she would have been assigned to the station on behalf of the Bajor government, not Starfleet. The friction would have come from her being an ex-Stafleet officer often at odds with Starfleet regulations and procedures.
