Why did budget Steve McQueen have the Interocitor? Was he an alien or from the future?

You can't pull rank on murder.

IIRC he was a descendant of human abductees raised by aliens.

Must of been wild ride for what some 1890's(?) folk. "Hey how neat do those new electric lamp things we've been hearing about. Would be rahter nice to visit a big city and see one, one day! Oh hey,.... wait how did I get here??? why am I suddenly in space???"

It was more like Stargate, they were abducted in 4000 BC.

What weirdo aliens. I think TOS era definitely had the most weirdo aliens about, just doing their own thing.

Pelia's whole deal means there were aliens with Pythagoras.

Also, I just watched Angel One. Matriarchy! Plague! Romulans! This episode had everything, well except the Romulans. But that's ok because the plot kept reminding you that they were just off screen.

I kind of love how we've had multiple episodes where the thing that should be the main focus of an episode is practically a parody of itself in the B-plot.

OK I had to look it up and they have not definitively said that they are native to Earth. But apparently Pelia herself has been on Earth since Ancient Greece.

She was barely in this last season, which was kind of a problem when she was the new character on the show. I'm not sure if that was scheduling problems with the actress or what.

If it was someone might point out that the Goa'uld weren't any Aztec gods. Possibly because the civilization never existed before they left Earth.

I met Jonathan Frakes today and he’s every bit as friendly and charming in person as people say. I gave him one of the silly Riker meme blockprints I’d done years ago and in return he refused to let me pay for the autograph and selfie he gave me. Just an all-around super nice chill dude, 10/10 would meet again.

He’s also taller than I thought.

I think they just needed a placeholder engineer to get us to Scotty, and didn't want to devote too much screentime to her.

She asked to do it. 100% her decision, and they said yes. Probably because they'll let her do whatever she wants because she's Carol Kane.

And I also can't stand the accent. Carol Kane is awesome but the accent is grating and ridiculous.

They didn't even cast her. She just walked on set and started talking engineering stuff and everyone had to improv around her.
