I had consumed years of Frasier before I ever saw this, so it's just Captain Frasier to me, I have no concept of what this was like to audiences at the time.

yeah, it was either '91 or '92, so "years of Frasier before ever seeing this" would have been the standard reaction

Frasier switching the view screen with the talarian ambassador on and off and having a panicked conversation with his first officer about protocol to ensure it goes smoothly, only to finally turn the view screen back on while delivering a biting joke about talarians taste in wine

Captain Frasier's ex Number 1 was a saucy Vulcan named L' Lith.

His previous one left him the day the ship was commissioned because a better post came up.

Frasier episode "Good Grief" is functionally the same thing as the Picard storyline in TNG "Family".

Okay here's some more Screenrant clickbait that's at least not a lazy "best of" or "worst of" list, it's 10 Frasier storylines that were never resolved:

https://screenrant.com/frasier-storylines-plotlines-no-resolution-closure/

One of them is just the show ending on a cliffhanger, another is about Daphne being psychic, and I think the rest are just 90's sitcom has limited continuity.

Exploration is ill-advised.
It really shouldn't be hard to figure that in a sitcom that shows slices of people's lives and establishes that a lot of things happen off camera, there are things that just turn out not to be funny or interesting. Like real life, plenty of things fizzle out or are forgotten about and never really come up again.

* It's never resolved if Martin is able to get Røbert's expensive dogfood without subterfuge, as Daphne never apologizes. Hence, we are unable to see if this plotline was ever resolved or if Eddie suffered with substandard kennel-grafe offal.

* Maris is never shown so we cannot deduce exactly how close to the Hapsburgs she was.

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
Maris was in several episodes but she's so dainty and thin that you can't see her unless she's turned to the side, much like a 2D sprite. The actress that portrayed her was one of those weirdos who only ever stares directly into the camera.

tbh i always assumed people were exaggerating maris' proportions so calista flockhart acting at maximum snootiness was my go-to mental image

you'd probably get less habsburgs and more slenderman if everyone's description was literal, e.g. resembling a sentient hatrack

Honestly it doesn’t matter if it was resolved or not. It’s a dumb thing that’s one of her quarks (sp?). Like who really cares that much?

Also having just come back from London it makes me appreciate her jokes so much more.

Bullocks depending on the accent absolutely sounds like ballsacks and makes me laugh every time.

Edit I guess it’s quirky? I’m leaving the wrong word because I should have looked it up.

I pictured a Grey in a fancy hat.

Unrelated, I wonder if Frasier could be said to have made positive contributions to normalising the idea of getting psychiatric help.

Finding it hilarious and a little scary that Frasier the Mii in Smash Bros even sounds like Kelsey Grammar.

And he even defeats Niles first try on Silph Co tower, fitting?

Watched an old episode of Titus last night that guest starred David Hyde Pierce as a leather jacket-wearing motorcycle-riding motivational speaker. I forgot how fun it was to see this during peak Frasier years:

(He shows up at around 2:00, but the whole episode is great).

One of the bad non-DaphneFam/Kirby episodes is the one where the Crane boys take an adult school class for Auto Maintenance and they act like dipshits the entire time.

It's supposed to be a role reversal but it just comes off as classist.

counterpoint: it's a great episode, it does not come off as classist at all unless you have terminal internet poisoning, and it guest stars the hippie teacher from freaks and geeks
