Because most of the comic is the TNG crew and the 11th Doctor, but one issue flashes back to the 4th Doctor meeting the TOS crew.

Welp, apparently Arlo does. Or at least enjoys poetry about it, I'm not sure which is worse.

quote:

The poem is presented as a single, rueful stanza from the point of view of a New York Giants fan watching the Chicago Cubs infield of shortstop Joe Tinker, second baseman Johnny Evers, and first baseman Frank Chance complete a double play.

(I had never heard that line either, Janis, and I'm still not sure how it applies to pouring a cup of coffee.)

If I recall correctly, Tinker to Evers to Chance was a way of saying that somebody had just done something with perfect timing. So it's not just the pouring of the coffee, it's that Arlo poured it at exactly the right moment, and Janis came into the room to receive it the moment he was ready to hand it to her.

I didn't know that about Doohan. His right middle finger was amputated but he kept it hidden from cameras during his acting career. Looking at Scotty now it's funny how his right hand is obscured by something in every shot.

From interviews with him, that wasn't his choice. Doohan thought it wouldn't be a big deal for a veteran engineer to be missing a finger, but Gene Roddenberry had his own ideals about his perfect utopian future where flaws weren't allowed. They even shot close-ups of his left hand and flipped them so it would look like he was using his right.

They should have cast him as Dr. Spocky, a half Vulcan, half Scottish scientist. His hand would have been perfect for the Vulcan greeting.

I mean, it's a robot that runs and jumps about a lot, why would it have magnetic memory? The platters would be scratched to hell, must be SSD storage.

"I have to say that you look disheveled because the artist didn't draw you that way. Also I assume that you look disheveled because of something specific, not because you just woke up."

Seriously, every line of dialog feels like it should have "fellow human" at the end of it.

I really can't shake the feeling that the reason we're not seeing the usual excesses is because it's 1943 and Floy Floy is meant to be Chinese, rather than Japanese, and is therefore "one of the good ones" or whatever.
