If Troi's mom was a telepath, was her behavior intentionally trolling everyone by just being an obnoxious sex fiend to them?

I think the best Mama Troi episode is on DS9 where she's so eager to jump Odo's goo she psychically infects everyone with a disease that makes them want to jump whoever they have a crush on.

Then Jadzia figures something's up but instead of saying "hey, something's up" she pranks Sisko by making him think Dax has jungle fever.

Sisko is the best captain just because when he went to the mirror universe he actually hosed Mirror Jadzia. There wasn't any moral dilemma or anything.

I hope he called her Old Man, too.

He just goes with the flow that entire episode. Kidnapped by mirror universe O'Brien? Well, that's rude, but whatever. Asked to impersonate his violent doppelganger? Well, I might as well since I'm here. Beat Bashir's face in? Now we're talkin'! Plow Jadzia? Ha! Like you even have to ask.

Dude's only moral dilemmas that trip were A) Does he bang Kira, too? And B) Does he bring Jennifer back because mirror universe bitches are definite into some freaky-rear end poo poo.

I know TNG didn't really ever deal with money or a budget but it needed a villain on the ship and it should have been an accountant who always complained about the cost of things. Sitting on the other side of Riker and no matter what, he complains about the budget.

Worf, fire a warning off the port bow.
How am I supposed to explain all these warnings to Starfleet?! They're not cheap!

Picard has been captured. We need to send a shuttlecraft down to the surface.
Starfleet is already screaming about our fuel budget and you want to send ANOTHER shuttlecraft down?

Do you realize how much each minute of Holodeck time affects our bottom line? And double-duties for the Borg attack? Where is that money supposed to come from?!

Every Starfleet ship has a Bond Company Stooge like on Life Aquatic.

I like that Keiko is a bad cook in DS9 because even though it 's all replicated, she picks the grossest things from the menu.

Like she entered a cheat code to unlock Cardie food because she thought that was a great idea to serve that poo poo to Miles and a cardassian kid raised all his life by bajorans.

Also LOL that they locked out the cardassian food in the replicators.

The android was also the doctor on Lost Girl, starring a woman with the totally not pornstar name of Anna Silk and had an episode featuring Slenderman.

Killjoys is also back, which is not a very good show, but it works for Friday nights when I just don't give a poo poo.

Killjoys is pretty cheesy but at same time compelling for some reason such as the cyberpunk setting.

Yeah, I actually do enjoy Killjoys and Dark Matter even though they're not that great.

They hit the sweet spot of "godawfully cheese but still decent enough" that I can wrap around my like a manchild security blanket and reminisce about Friday nights when I had no date or social activity but "no biggie I got Stargate to watch."

I look forward to what shows will fill this genre in ten years so I can watch it and reminisce about Friday nights when I had no dates or social activity, but "it's no biggie because Killjoys and Dark matter is on."

i keep seeing fuckin' articles online about how "MATT SMITH STILL WANTS TO PLAY DOCTOR WHO" and people trying to push the idea that he could be ~the first doctor to return to the role~


talk about your total failure of imagination right there. like goddamn i'm surprised there's not a loving change.org petition demanding "WELL IF MATT CAN COME BACK WE WANT DAVID TENNANT TO BE THE DOCTOR FOREVER"




i've thought for a long time that what would own would be a year or two of having a different actor playing the doctor in every episode. no explanations, no bullshit technobabble, and to make the turbo-continuity-assholes extra frustrated we even change actors during the two-parters. get some rad people in there who wouldn't be willing to commit to a whole series but might have fun with it for an episode. imagine getting like dame judy dench or james earl jones being the doctor.

I thought Tom Baker was the first to return.

Or whoever the Curator was who basically only idiots and AV Club reviewers didn't get was the Doctor after he's 'retired'.

Al owns a very nice two level ranch brick home, has an easy sales job, married to a hot big boobed woman who wants to have sex like all the time, and has two beautiful children who both grow up to be happy and sucessful

Al was probably a closeted gay based on how unattracted he was to said hot wife, his compulsion to hypermasculinity, and his constant reminiscing about when he played high school football (when he would presumably shower with fellow just-hitting-their-sexual-peak teenaged boys).

To be honest, no one on that show had it especially bad - even Bud got live girl action from time to time.

I think she was always dumb and slutty, they just cranked it to 11 at the point they started going surreal.

Like, this is a girl who in the early years had no idea how to make Jello - even having trouble opening the box and was slitting her diapers to show more leg as a toddler.

Also on the topic of Kelly I'm suddenly remembering the Milla Jovovich episode and the one with the lesbian pedo cheerleading coach. And Matt LeBlanc playing a prototype Joey.
