Thoughts and observations as I watched over at the “other place”, special Saturday night/early Sunday morning edition:
- AHHHHH, WE’RE DOING THIS ON A SATURDAY!
- AHHHHH, WE’RE GETTING THE CROSSOVER!
- AHHHHH, A CROSSOVER BETWEEN A CARTOON COMEDY AND A LIVE ACTION DRAMA!
- AHHHHH, IN GENERAL!
- First off, that they have “Those Old Scientists” as the title is (chef’s kiss).
- Previously: Nyota had a really bad day, La’An got a bad case of Kirk hotness, and Chapel/Spock had a bad case of hotness for each other
- OH GOD WE’RE STARTING ANIMATED
- “Numero Una”
- Tendi would like to remind you all that the Orions have a rich and varied history.
- “You guys look… very realistic.”
- AHHHH, ANIMATED OPENING CREDITS!
- Hahaha, the thing that eats the Ceritos Nacelle!
- AHHHH, THE KOALA AT THE END OF THE CREDITS! WHY IS IT SMILING, WHAT DOES IT KNOW!?!?
- “But flipping it open is the best part”
- “Computer, end program.”
- “Worf’s honor.” DANGIT!
- I wonder if Frakes showed Quaid how to properly do a Riker maneuver
- “You just… laughed.”
- Ah, we’re tying in with what Tendi said.
- Boimler is a toddler knocking over furniture.
- “We have jetpacks now”
- Pike’s birthday is a holiday… CRAP!
- Boimler freaking out over the fact he made Spock laugh is such a Boimler thing.
- Hey, a reference to his sehlat!
- I like how they are using this episode to also move the other plotlines forward.
- HE MENTIONED PIKE’S REALLY GREAT HAIR
- Triticale, as opposed to Quadritriticale.
- I totally saw Mariner coming.
- Dystopian San Francisco!
- “Have you noticed their references are weirdly specific?”
- “Hot Spock agrees with me”
- “It’s a poster that is pinned up”
- I feel like Tawny herself probably demanded a scene with Uhura
- Ah, there’s the Boimler scream!
- “Holy Q!”
- “They had a Trelane thing going on.”
- “He had to contour the hell out of the jawline”
- “Oh, I already know.” Hahaha, they finally got out-future knowledged.
- Oh god, are they going to steal a piece of an NX?
- Oh, just a piece of it in the Enterprise.
- The “Mistress of the Winter Constellations” strikes again!
- Of course Ransom calls Una the hottest first officer in starfleet history.
- Hahaha, 2D animation Enterprise crew because they are drunk!
- All-time classic.
