Cosmic Muffin February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 I haven't watched this yet, but I'm so looking forward to seeing Questlove; I enjoy seeing him in anything. Best moment of Parks and Rec - him dropping the microwave. 1 Link to comment
Joimiaroxeu February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 I think this was my favorite episode of Drunk History ever. 1 Link to comment
DoubleUTeeEff February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 That look that Berry Gordy gave the camera after Diana Ross rejected him was so so good and so so funny. I learned a lot about Star Trek, I knew it had the first interracial kiss but I didn't know it had happened that way or that MLK Jr was a fan. Also didn't know that Nichelle Nichols had recruited so many people for NASA. I'm really looking forward to next week! Link to comment
ganesh February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 This has to be in the top 5 if not #1. Good, funny narrators that weren't sloppy, and had a lot of dialogue for the actors to play off. I knew about the story of Nichols, but they played it so great. I didn't know Shatner ruined the non kiss take though. I didn't know how scratching was invented, and Gordy was hilarious through out. 1 Link to comment
justjen February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 This was my favorite episode in a while, probably because the narrators didn't seem like sloppy messes who aren't funny (I'm looking at Doug Jones and Duncan Trussell and kind of Nick Rutherford). Derek Waters seemed less sloppy, too. I honestly think my favorite parts were when Derek broke out the elementary school music class staple Ta Ta TeeTee Ta TeeTee Ta Rest to Questlove and how broadly influential Nichelle Nichols was.

peeayebee February 15, 2018 Share February 15, 2018 This ep was very good -- entertaining AND informative. I can't say I understood all the stuff about DJ'ing, but it was still interesting. Raven-Symoné was so funny as Nichelle Nichols. Link to comment

"She was the first black lady to go to space for fake and recruited the first black lady to go to space for real." No, I didn't get a bit emotional at that, why do you ask? Link to comment
