That was merely Trip's first death by electrocution. He keeps coming back; he's died several more times since then, all to electrocutions.

Counselor Troi fans have Sirtis to thank for preserving her hair and eyes.

“I’m a bit of a tea leaf as they say in England,” Sirtis said. “I’ll have that, thank you very much, which was really good that I did. Trust me, they wouldn’t have had time to make a $10,000 wig. I was in England doing a play anyway. I wrapped on Saturday and was at Universal on Monday having traveled from England on Sunday. I wasn’t even here. It would’ve been like wig, contact lenses, what? It was lucky that I did pilfer them.”

They only wrote in Deanna and Riker like 2 weeks before filming, so I 100% believe they were rushed and not prepared.

Last week or so on twitter, Matalas really went after someone who rightly called him out on constantly interacting with RMB even after all the horrible right-wing bullshit he’s done, and that just evaporated every last shred of patience I had for the guy.

Carrying on from last night for a moment, but do you happen to have a link to this that you can share? I really want to see Terry Matalas getting cussed out for cozying up to a bunch of grifter shitheads with a financial interest in seeing him fail like a loving microbrained dumbass. It'll put me in a good mood going into Thursday.

You may be disappointed, it’s a bit more civil than I remembered and basically all of the replies are just people coming to Matalas’ defense.

lol what a loving weakass defense. I don't even use Twitrer and I've known RMB has been an utter cocksmear for years now. Matalas must just be cloyingly desperate for approval from everyone and anyone that he'd take even faint praise from someone who utterly hates everything else about his life and work as a massive W.

You'd think CBS would have a big and rigidly enforced "Do Not Interact With The Following Individuals" list and Robert Meyer Burnett would be like right up there at the top alongside like Nerdrotic and Doomcock.

Hell I remember when people were speculating that the Borg Queen was Picard's mom, and then it turned out it was Jurati. So this theory is somehow not crazy enough to match whatever the real story Terry Matalas has farted out of his little hack brain this time around is.

All I know is that it will have 10 hours allotted to try and explain it and it will somehow still feel under cooked and severely lacking once it's all said and done.

Place your bets: Who's going to be the character Picard has a teary, completely unearned and immensely shallow in context, decades-coming goodbye with at the end of the season before sending them to their death? We've had Data. And we've had Q. Who's next?

My predictions, in order of probability:

1. Riker
2. Picard and Bev’s secret love child
3. Bev
4. Worf
